Bobbejean's first grow

[Groen Bobbejean]

Thanks for the welcome @Bos @PsyCLown @Stinger96  As requested, some pics!

Auto Elixir CBD by Canuk Seeds; Auto White Widow (I think by MSA?); "Auto" Super Lemon Haze by Canuk Seeds, that turned out to be a photoperiod lady. Imagine my surprise when it just kept growing. The seeds went into Jiffy pucks 03/10/20 and I harvested 11 January. Grown outdoors, CPT North, using Freedom Farms and some Umya nutrients with pH-balanced tapwater that I left out in the sun to get rid of some chlorine.

This was around week 8:

Very nice. I love the look of dark bud.
I'm hoping my LSD 25 auto will be dark like that.

Ja indeed, smells great too! Predominantly citrus terp profile and when I put it in the jar it smelled like pineapple. Look forward to trying it, would be interesting to feel the effect of a bud with negligible amounts of THC and lots of CBD.

Any smoke report yet bud..?

Yeah I could only wait 2 weeks for the cure before sampling it.  I'm happy with the WW, i.m.o. it's pretty good for outdoor and my status as newbie grower. The dark bud it nice too, but as it's something like 25:1 CBD:THC the effect is quite different, kind of felt like someone switched a light on in my head and it gave me a lot of focus and a surprising head high, though not like how THC normally gets you. The bud's quite sticky, though the terps not as good as the WW, that has the usual danky-citrusy-earthy vibes.

I thought I'd post an update since I saw @PsyCLown post in another forum that he harvested some this weekend, then I remembered about this post.

 

I harvested the Super Lemon Haze mid April, partly because I thought it was ready (and if it was early, it's a Haze so you want the buzz I guess). Towards the end of the grow I started having issues with whiteflies and some other bugs that I managed to mostly keep in check without using any sprays. Spots of powdery mildew had also started developing though I mostly managed that with bicarb+water spray and it seemed to keep it under control. On harvest day, I first did some trimming off the branch and then cut the branches and washed it, then dried it for a week or so. It was a hot week so it went pretty quickly, but there was enough leaf left to help slow it down a bit. I ended up spending Freedom Day in trim jail and the buds are now curing in jars.

 

When I started writing this post I hadn't sampled it yet, but this evening I had a braai and wanted to have a taste. First impression is good, should be great for daytime.

Lekker man! Ja i'm also struggling with those whiteflies. And always close to harvest or early veg stage. They multiply like rogue rabbits.

I got some of those yellow and blue sticky paper traps so will see what happens next season. If they return hopefully they get stuck and leave my plants alone.
