First foray into organics

Yes, apparently the rep isn't so good but I did say I will do it so I will. I won't be putting all my eggs in the Greenpoint basket thought as I have seen a lot of hermy reports mind you it was mostly with the monster cookie crosses.

to be fair i just dabbed a bit of bruce banner #3 x monstercookies rosin and it's delish and very upbeat.

no male flowers on the ounce or two i've smoked. a talented friend grew them out and they're good looking nugs

to my eyes and palate it was leaning a lot towards the kksc grandma.

So my first organic run is in the books. The buds have been sitting in jars for about a month or so and I have been sampling ever since, lol.

My initial observations are that I love being able to give just water and the odd tea. The buds were very aromatic and smooth as soon as they were dry and that has gotten even better with time in the jars. That being said, yield is noticeably less by about a few oz than what I am used to in my setup. It shocked me initially because the buds looked pretty girthy. They shrunk up a bit more than I had been used to. The frost and aroma was certainly there but yield and density were not up to par with previous Chem runs.

I think the Easy bake mix was a little N heavy but will balance out for the 9-11 weekers I think. Maybe a better mulch or some biochar would help that in the future? I am also thinking I will try to come up with a bit of an organic PK boost next time to see if that helps the yield and density.

The chemsour x sscdh f2 #1 is a special lady in my books. I can't tell if she smells more or less than the previous batch, seems about even. Same with frost. Still a frost monster with notes of cola, carrots and diesel.

The chemsour x sscdh f2 #2 could have used another week, maybe two but she was starting to throw nanners pretty good. She has a nice sour, fruity flavor and looks great but I find the high just average in effect and duration. I still have a cut of it but I think it will be culled. #1 is the star so far and I want to find a nice male to take it to f3.

The purple dream is solid but it's time to move on. Great bag appeal, nice high and flavor but she has been culled.

The DSD was a nice surprise. She too could have gone another week or two. She was the biggest yield of the bunch, nice frost and a great aroma of sour strawberry and menthol. She has a nice strong and lasting high as well. I was pleasantly surprised and will be keeping her around for a bit.

I will be back to update with pics and put this thread to bed. Thanks for tagging along.

I generally do shut down to avoid the heat but am going to try to sneak another round in before October. Got the testers to do and I would like to pop a few more beans.

I just got the last ingredients I was waiting on to make my new mix. Will be letting it cook for a few weeks and firing up a new run in mid October.

Those nugs look real good and it will be great to see you get things going again. Organic! :)
