I'm curious when the Amnesia Hashplant finished, how it grew size wise etc. what the effect was. Thanks.
I'll start with a disclaimer: I grew these in a method that is not generally recommended. Because of plant count limits and not using any method to 'pre-sex' my plants, I planted three of each strain in small clusters so that they would look like a single plant, in hopes that at least one of each cluster would be a girl. In early August as the males showed up I would cut them. I did this with four different strains. In two cases all three were boys... with the Amnesia Hashplant only two seeds popped, but they were both girls. The seeds were started indoors on 04/23 and they went in the ground 05/21. They were topped once when young, as I do with all my plants, and these sort of reacted to that by not growing for a while after being topped. The plants stayed relatively short, about 6.5' tall.
I can't tell you what to expect from them in terms of harvest quantity because I don't know how planting two next to each other impacted that, and also because some asshat pulled them over practically onto their side (it was caged for late season wind/rain protection) and ripped several main branches off at about 6 weeks into flower. I was able to get them upright and they finished, but that couldn't have been good for them.
I ended out taking it down September 26/27. I was nervous about the ripper coming back and the weather was going down hill, if it were an indoor I'm sure it would have gone another 5-10 days. It did not get any mold or PM, so that is impressive (if you see white or grey specs on the plants in the pictures, that was ash that dropped from the fires). In the end, we got about a 1/2 lb. (total) from the pair of them, I would guesstimate that the rippers took about 1/3 of the harvest.
My wife is the med patient and we're still finishing up the end of last winter's indoor and letting this cure more, so we haven't really gotten into it yet. She did sample it, and said she really liked it, that it was "stoney" and tastes good -- that's pretty much her highest compliment (no pun intended). I can't smoke, bad lungs, so I only do edibles and haven't made any from this batch.
From 09/17/17 before the end of season protective structure went up over it -- I forgot about how its leaves yellowed and dropped daily near the end
The rippers...
I started to cut colas earlier in case the rippers came back, just to make sure we got some of it, but this is what was left of it on the 27th when I took it down completely.
As a final note, the folks at OGS are pretty adamant that Amnesia Hashplant is an
outdoor only strain, but since we're on the tweaker/thieves radar, we are not going to grow outdoors anymore. Next winter I'll probably grow the rest of my seeds indoors, I'm not one to waste seeds. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.
