Okay guys, I'm not dead. Exams finished, and I've been busy catching up with life. Oh, and I've been blazing SLH every chance I can get!!!!
Here are the answers to random questions people asked:
1. I got these seeds from the Attitude seedbank, and yeah they were feminized.
2. My topping method was *supposed* to be uncle ben's method (see the advanced cultivation subforum), but I ended up cutting 1 node too high, so instead of 4 main colas, I had 6. These 6 main colas were actually divided into 3 large colas and 3 small colas (small colas still being larger than typical buds though). It's weird how it worked out, but hell, I guess it worked!
Thanks for the responses guys... I like seeing that my journal can be of use to anyone - even the label
And, last but not least - how did she smoke / vape? Awesome. The very outside of the bud is not as potent smelling as I would have liked, but the jar smells amazing. I dried the outside too fast, which probably stopped the chlorophyl (+other plant compounds) breakdown reactions before they had time to run themselves through. When I bust up the bud, it smells fantastic.
Water bong: Taking a good hit through a clean bong was great. Noticeably better than typical mid-grade "weed" you might get off dealers, and there even was a subtle lemon taste.
Volcano: Here's the real treat. I love vapourizing with a volcano much more than bongloads, and the Super Lemon Haze *really* shines in the volcano. The taste is awesome. There's more to the flavour than just lemon, but it all does come together to be a nice smooth vapour that I enjoy as much as the air I breathe. In terms of potency and the high I got, I know that this stuff is potent because I can get mangled off a miniscule amount in the volcano - we're talking like 1/10th - 2/10ths of a gram. I can't comment on the actual high yet too much since I just don't know, but it's enjoyable as always and it has been a consistently enjoyable high every time.
So, at the amount I need to get high, and with the amount I yielded, I'm going to have this stuff for a year probably at least. Awesome.
I'll keep checking this thread to see if there are any more responses. I highly recommend this strain though!
Last comment about the lights - I know this is my first grow, but I firmly believe yields for this CFL grow was in huge part to
side and under-lighting. I had 5*42W cfls that sat on the ground and shone upwards, and I think it helped a great deal. So much of the bud from the bottom of the plant contributed to the overall yield, and the buds were decent size and looked nice when cured.
That's it! Thanks everyone.
