GHS strains + Nirvana Blackberry

[Tzone007]

I grew out a 5 pack of GHS seeds and 1 Nirvana Blackberry last fall. This was my 3rd grow. All were grown under a 400w HPS and supplemented with sun on the nicer days. The GHS pack consisted of Cheese, Trainwreck, Great White Shark, Lemon Skunk, and White Rhino. The cheese only made it 2 weeks into flowering before a spider mite infestation weakened it so I had to harvest early. The Finish times were as followed.. Lemon Skunk 7.5 weeks (very early - 50/50 amber/cloudy trichs), Great White Shark and Blackberry 9 weeks, and White Rhino and Trainwreck went 10.5 weeks. The yields were Lemon Skunk 2oz, Blackberry and GWS 1.5 oz, White Rhino 1.5oz, and Trainwreck was my biggest at 2.5oz. My favorites were the Lemon Skunk and Trainwreck. They both had a very strong odor and taste. The Lemon Skunk smelled and tasted like pepper mixed with a little citrus. The Trainwreck tasted and smelled like Lilac and sweet candy. The White Rhino had a musty smell with a hint of peppermint in it. The GWS and Blackberry had a somewhat bland meaty/musty smell. No purple on the blackberry in case anyone was wondering. The Trainwreck did get some purplish hues near the 8th week of flowering. Here are some pictures.. The other 2 I didn't get any finished pictures of but they were very Indica like in growth pattern.

Lemon Skunk.. Probably my 2nd favorite but finished in almost half the time as my favorite, the trainwreck. Very strong odor while growing. Final height 34" and very branchy.

Trainwreck.. Favorite of all of them. Very pleasant odor while growing and kept it throughout the cure. Taste and smell were unbelieveable. Biggest plant at 44" and about as wide.

White Rhino.. Very indica plant, but all through flowering it kept stretching yielding smaller leafy buds. Sweet peppermint type smell throughout flowering but lost some of it while drying/curing.
Yield was less than I had hoped due to stretching. Ended up making hash out of a lot of it. Final height was 36" with 4 18"+ colas.

Grew out Their Blackberry (its sativa seedbanks) But NRS owns them as you can see on nirvanas site, but they dont turn purple...at all its a raspberry coughX black domina cross they stole the pics from VISC blackberry which does turn purple

I have some blackjack which is supposed to be some sort of Oregon blackberry cut mixed with something to form blackberry X jack herrer. Its definitely blackish with the indica-leaf short pheno. Let me see if I can get a pic up here in a bit.

Thanks for the Info on the GHS strains. I am planning my next SOG and this really helps.

Thanks for the warm welcome.. I was pretty happy with my grow this go around. The first 2 I grew out GHS white widow. It wasn't the best.. somewhat sweet hashy taste but smelled average and wasn't the strongest. For me it was almost identical to my Great White Shark. I'll try and get some budshots up later. Everything was completely covered in trichs. The Lemon skunk had some buds that you could barely see the calyxs.. good stuff. I wasn't too impressed with the Nirvana (sativa seedbanks) Blackberry.. no berry taste or purple like in the picture. I started off growing out all 5 but only kept the rarer indica pheno.. the others seem to be more hybrid looking. It grew massive wide leaves and stayed very stout. I topped it too late but it still gave me 4 nice colas like my rhino did.

Check out the back right of my Blackjack. Thats more of the Jack pheno I believe (no purpling and grows super high. The back left is a tiny bud of the blackish purple pheno. The other buds are some sort of sfv (possibly mixed) bubb clones I might flower out for good. Sorry bout the crappy camera and hope you don't mind the pic. I'll show you some more later if you need any.
