KarmaTrain Grow Notes

Obtained in a clone swap this strain is getting closer to getting a full 10/10 for everything, clones root easily and quickly, rooted clones spend a week making roots like a big ball of string and then they're off upwards

Vegged for 4 weeks and transplanted twice ending up in 6 litre pots with the base of the square pot lined with hydroton pellets for good drainage, Canna Coco and Bio Bizz nutes in veg

In flower put in a 400W with some others for first 35 days, then into a 600W Sunmaster lamp and digital ballast, fed BAC Organics until day 40 when they were switched to GHE Ripen for 14 days followed by 10 days pH adjusted water ....... the BAC nutes are not worth the inflated sums they command IMHO and made the rez stink after 24 hrs, so daily feeds were required, not something I intend repeating (BAC organic P/K booster has an N-P-K of 3-3-3 .... WTF!!)

Hardly any trim, just a few small fan leaves

First smoke tests were far ahead of my expectations and a week later they were dry, the plants being left whole but the branches and stem were crushed and/or split between nodes, this lets as much moisture as possible leave the plant from the inside, keeping the buds shape and resulting in a much reduced green taste

After a week in jars it was a lovely smoke, improving with every day, now 8 weeks on the smoke is delicious and the buzz is really strong ...... the buds now expand when cut up resulting in quite a large mound from a relatively small bud

Overall easy to grow, fast rooting strong clones, thick stems so it doesn't fall over, dense buds, just dial it in and I think this could be my mainstay

Plus it rates as being in the top 5 strains I've smoked in over 40 yrs ...... wish I felt confident enough to take a few clones to Jamaica

More KarmaTrain Pix!

You can see the brown leaf that made me cut this rather than risk budrot

Bud @ 45 days
