If you've never grown a Nirvana strain before then please don't contribute personal opinions to this thread, thanks! (there's no need to turn this into another "Nirvana are just F2 knockoffs" or whatever thread)
OK my question to those who've grown one or more Nirvana strains - how did you find them?
Me so far ....
1 x Papaya: this was probably the suckiest plant I've ever grown except for Lowryder, but at least that was cute if nothing else! Papaya was very boring, very bland smoke, tastes nothing like papaya or mango or any other fruit, not very potent, not overly resinous, looks boring, and average yield. I can't see myself ever growing out the other 9 beans, but then I have only tried 1 plant/1 pheno so I can't fully comment on it. I'd be curious to hear other peoples results with Papaya.
1 x AK48: this was a pleasant surprise! Because of my previous Papaya experience I only vegged this one for 1-2 weeks because I just wanted to try it without wasting much time - my hopes weren't high. Anyway it flowered for quite a while, I didnt time it but it was at least 9 weeks, maybe 10, which is a lot longer than AK47 or AK48 are supposed to go for, but then this was a sativa pheno. The plant grew several long main stems (all natural - i didnt train or top or anything) so I ended up with half a dozen crown colas, each over a foot long. There were very few leaves yet lots of buds so this was one of those strains that is actually enjoyable to harvest/manicure! The buds are densely covered with trichomes and she packs quite a potent sativa high. The yield was excellent - over 5 ounces dry bud, keeping in mind that she vegged for less than 2 weeks from seed. I'll definately be growing out another AK48 in the future. (you can see the results in my photo gallery)
