Budshots - Samsara El alquimista

Hi folks,

Did alot of browsing looking for info on this strain before I grew it out, found almost nothing... so this is for those who are in the situation I was!

This fem freebie was received with an order from Attitude, and is now my primary strain after a long strainsearch. The smoke from this strain really knocks me down, very strong in my opinion...

Flower time was 8 weeks 3 days, nice big heavy colas and lower buds that had decent light turned out okay, got just over 1.5oz + popcorn from this little experiment in a 1.5LTR pot (coco DTW) - this plant was on the outside edge of a SCROG so by all means could have done better.

I'll let the pics speak for themselves :tiphat:

Damn... 1.5oz w/ room for improvement in a 1.5ltr pot....That sounds like it could hit monster numbers with high plant count vertical ;)

Nice work man, looks great!:tiphat:

Hey folks!
Just finished another grow, though sadly didn't get any pics - very impressive, pretty much the same as what you saw in the initial post just a big sea of heads.
Will be sure to get pics on the next one which is about to go to 12/12. Last grow yielded; 400w = 10 and 600w = 14-16. Figured it out to about .85gpw though a bit longer veg last time, this time around I pre-vegged as much as I could, next time even more so - to get the turnaround to approx 2month 1 week. I think considering the quality of the smoke .85gpw is decent and I don't expect to be able to push much more out of it under the 400, the 600 though I think I'll be able to get another 2-4 as there is a bit more space - time will tell!

She is pretty much a 2 month strain, I find the lower heads brown up while the upper heads don't seem to as fast, I still chop at 8wk after approx 5 days flush. The smell of this strain is very low compared to some I've done, in the past I've even had to double filter (carbon) some but not with this one. The smoke gets much beter with age but a nice slow 10day dry before starting cure leaves a great smoke, really knocks me down still but does seem to leave more of a 'stoneover' as some other strains I like (For example, Heavy Duty Fruity).

Edit: Nutes;
Canna Coco A&B
H&G Bud-XL
Canna PK 13-14
Epsom salts (as the Canna nutes cause MG def sometimes with some strains during veg)
Silica additive if I have it or can be assed
H&G Drip clean if I can be assed (but rarely).

Have tried alot of nutes now and although very similar in most ways, I'm going to stick with the current formula, it's hard to mess up and only really uses two additives which keeps it simple and costs less. I don't even PH test my water any more... got a good balance of results vs effort.

Canna brand coco 1/3 coarse perlite.
