Oldest commercial strain and I can tell you that I know why it got it's award at the Cup back in '89. Cheap seeds, hardy easy to grow plants, lots of sticky dank buds that you can sell by the quarter-pounder!!!
Guerilla Growin':
Started off with 30 seeds, all germinated in 2 days. The sprouts were put in tiny youghurt cups and taken to the grow spot after 3-4 weeks of vegging. Then I transplanted the little ones directly into the soil in a window of five days of cloudy/rainy weather in June. Found this to be a plus for their root making and overall survival rate. I also transplanted bag when the weather was good and the seedlings got roasted. A good start is all it takes...
The rest was easy as pie: visited the grow spot once every two weeks with two 2L bottles of 15-15-15 fert. Many plants got stunted because of the poor soil, but they all pulled through though. Had to chop a lot of males also but that's what you get for growing in soil that has the Ph of 5.5.
Plants were very hardy and the bugs loved them. I've found that locusts, snails and cattarpillars love to munch on Big Bud leaf but the plants grow fast as if they didn't give a damn about anything. Word to the wise: indoors these plants suffer a lot from spidermites so be equipped and prepaired!
The Harvest:
Harvested in early October because I feared the rains and therefore the mold. When I chopped I found that none of my 5 females had any sort of mold, neither did my friend with his Big Buds. We both found a trace of bud rot due to the dew, but that's not a drawback. It only tastes harsher when smoked...
Filled 2 trashbags with the buds from 5 plants and it smelled so damn skunky. Don't know why, but some people enjoy this smell. I shure don't. Dried the shit in my room and couldn't sleep at night for three days. You could smell it from outside my room through the door!
The Smoke:
Great smoke! Never get tired of it. Can be rough for the neck and you do occasionally cough (oldschool skunk). Can't make a joint without scissors as it's so sticky. The high is very sociable and literally you can't stop laughing. It has some stoney qualities to it, but I cut mine early so the CBD didn't really form. Last year I left them longer than this year and it was killer. Half an hour for you is 3 minutes at the clock and that sort of shit. Not to be taken lightly. I've had some panic attacks from it, not to mention powerful heart palpitations.
Personal Opinion:
Great dank. Deffinitely going to grow it again and again. You can get up to half a kilo off a female and I'm not exagerrating in any way. I saw it. I've had a super female, that 1 in 4 that they said in the description. I didn't leave her fatten her buds as she should have, but she did form the fattest stickiest buds I've ever seen!
Few pics are mine...
