I grew two auto pounders. This was myfirst grow and I've only been smoking for a few months, so I'm notthe most educated regarding quality. I gave some to a fewexperienced smokers for feedback on the strain. Growing conditionswere: all organic soil and nutrient. Grown in 5 gal buckets. Grownunder CFLs for the whole grow.
This seemed to me (my first grow) to bea hardy plant. I had some issues with nut burn, I believe, becauseof improperly adjusted water PH. I am guessing that the yield wouldhave been better if I didn't have a PH problem.
One plant was tall and stretched, whilethe other was shorter and VERY bushy. Both plants yielded a combinedharvest of 2.2 oz dry, and 4 pounds of strong canabutter from the fan leaves and trimmings, notincluding the nuggets I took off early to smoke (I would guess about.2 oz). The buds are a nice shape with LOTS of crystals and "snow"and VERY sticky. The smoke has a clean taste with good smelland flavor. I found it to be strong, stronger than some O.G. Kush I bought; However there was a favorable quality to the stone that I canonly describe as "well rounded" or "full". Thisstrain has worked very well as medication for pain. An experiencedstoner friend of mine rated it a 7.5 on a scale of 1 to 10 forpotency, and I would agree.
Overall I am extremely happy with thisstrain and have ordered more seeds. Of the 3 types of pot I've smoked (O.G. Kush, Sand Widow, and Auto Pounder) the Auto Pounder is myfavorite. It's a creeper and (for me) takes about ten minutes tofully kick in. When it hits, it hits hard and fast with a strongindica dominant stone and medium euphoric high. This only last forabout 20 to 30 min, quickly settling into a nice, functional,medicated feeling. If you are using pot for medical reason, this isa good one. If you want to have a nice indica dominant high thatdoesn't leave you couch-bound, then this is the one too.
I am calling this one a successfulfirst grow for sure.
