Harvested 2 hours ago, will bud wash and hang. I tried a tester bud that was harvested 10 days ago, and it is some strong stuff, clear headed sativa, light pain relief, but no euphoria which was what I'll get from next years real "dream queen" not "humboldt dream queen". Is this good flower? Yes. Is this what I wanted, No. Do I recommend this? Yes. Easy to grow, only 3 small spots of bud rot in East Coast NYC outdoor in ground growing

Blue dream. Fighting root aphids, regular aphids, thrips, spidermites, and catapillers. Many branches produced light whispy buds, some swollen up near normal size. The tallest cola is 10 ' off the ground.
5 gallon bucket. Organic soil / coco mix with miracle gro 18-18-21, cal nite, epson salt, and mega crop 5-12-26

Collie man kush the last plant still going outdoor, hopefully I can get lucky with another couple weeks. We're already past average first frost date but looking good for the next week or so. The picture doesn't do justice for as big as this plant is. Smashed into the 8 ft ceiling and flopped over almost another 8 ft. Almost put her out of mind as she was just taking forever while my other girls matured. These last few weeks of cold nights really got her swelling up and looking like she may be a treat. Not so much fuel or sour smell but just like a straight earthy berry kush. She's packing on the resin now.20221020_094651.jpg20221020_094558.jpg20221020_094627.jpg20221020_094639.jpg

I've been looking at HSC seeds but I haven't seen many reviews of their classic gas strains. Can anyone review the Emerald fire OG, Old Growth OG, Family Jewels, Humboldt Headband, Humboldt Sour Diesel? Thanks.

All gas og is the formally know asphalt plant. And it’s quite rubbery. I’m waiting on the gas terps to hit. I’m around week 6. Still have to run the clones to see the full expressions.

If ya dont mind me asking; where at in the world did ya grow it? Asking cause I'm looking for a resilient plant that will do well in the Midwest outdoors.
Then you should check out Pistachio. Grew her out in Mid-Michigan, flowered early, 1st one done. Very Mildew resistant,
I fight PM every year because I grow literally in a swamp, grows large,and a heavy yielder. Gave clones out to a few Veterans who needed plants this year, and every one of them knocked it out of the park, they all love it. Great buzz, only smoke 1/4 of a joint on the way to work, and don't really need to smoke at lunch, but do anyways, LOL

Here are the mint jelly autos.
Nothing special but nice dense buds. Super quick turnaround. Smells funky minty. I'll prolly start another indoors. And in 3 weeks start some some mango melons veg/scrog. Wasn't super happy with their production outdoors on the mango melon (my fault cause weather and bugs) but I think they will do nice in a scrog in my small tent. I will probably run a Stoopid fruit plant or 2 next year for outdoor. I'm not a heavy smoker but something about the high is just really enjoyable for me. Helps me put the crankbait away. Then I fish slower with a plastic worm and just enjoy the scenery. I think it attracts the fish too :). Caught my 7.5 personal best largemouth bass after firing up a bowl of Stoopid fruits and tying on a junebug zoom lizard.

Haven't been on here in a while, but thought I'd share my experience with HSC. I don't know why there are some people trashing them on here, as I've only been super impressed by their products. Never had a herm in 25+ full term plants, and yields have always been heavy. So far I've grown:
Stoopid fruits
Bigfoot glue
Squirt
Hibiscus
Vanilla frosting
Hella jelly
My favorite smoke so far is the vanilla frosting at night and squirt in the daytime. VF produces beautiful super dense nuggs that smell like pure vanilla gas. The squirt on the other hand is an amazing throwback for me and the tangie terps are definitely prominent. Slow to veg, but finishes strong with relatively huge colas. Smells out of this world.
Stoopid fruits is fun to grow and I've seen a few phenos so far, all great. One was had a grape profile, one reminded me of g13 and had massive colas, and the third was super gassy and citrusy. Completely covered in trichomes.
Hibiscus is one I'm suprised hasn't caught on more. It outgrew everything last year and again this year. The colas were bigger than 2 liter soda bottles. Last year I just let it go in a 45 gal in the greenhouse and it grew to 12 feet. This year I put one outside in a 100 gal but only 80% full and another in a bed. Edit: i topped the hibiscus in the 100 gal 6 weeks into veg. The one in the pot grew way bigger. Super consistent stock, the geno/pheno seems to be stable with little variation. I'd describe it as berries with a hint of fuel. The plant goes purple if you let it, especially in late October with the cold nights. It's zkittlesXblueberry muffin, both of which have been major hits. This deserves the same attention I think. The smoke is really potent. I get a little too zonked so I generally stick with either something more relaxing or uplifting, but perfect for those who smoke all day/everyday.
Hella jelly was a new addition this year and I have high hopes for the final product. I grew 3- one in a 45 gallon and 2 in a bed side by side. Started all mid-late june and each one grew to about 8 feet. 3 different yet similair phenos with one having pretty different bud structure yet similair fruity nose. They were all super duper frosty and completely white with crystals. Trellising is highly recommended as the stems seem to lose some structural integrity late in flower. But I also don't cut early, and see that with a lot of strains the branches will appear to be falling over with the weight 2 weeks after they initially looked finished. These were less robust though at harvest and I could pinch the stems and they'd collapse.

I actually grew some Stoopid fruits and Hi-biscus late in the season because I had seeds to spare, and even though they were pretty modestly sized they turned out well. I posted some of the Stoopid fruits nugs earlier up the thread, but I harvested the Hi-Biscus not that long ago and was pretty happy with it. It's too warm here to get the purple coloration in summer but I vegged over the winter and flowered outdoors in the spring last year and it went pretty dark purple. Hi-Biscus below, it's got a little bit of purple at the tips of the leaves and bracts.

Just trimmed the first plant. 144 grams wet. I think the other one has a couple more buds so I'm guessing 175g wet. Not bad. These nugs are sticky and dense and quite possibly the easiest trim I have ever done. I'm gonna start a couple in my tent today or tomorrow. Bottom line I'm happy and hopefully the smoke is good cause they grew stupid easy.

How's the terps on the Hi Biscus?

Does anyone know about buying them direct? Just went to the website and it says all seeds are compliant with 2018 farm bill and contain less thant 0.2% THC, but it looks like they are all the same strains and technically seeds don't have any cannabinoids in them

Chitown seeds is my recommendation, they sell them at $80/pack of 20 regs or 10 fems. The website is messy but I've never had trouble. They've thrown in freebies too, a couple of ethos fems.

I would assume the disclaimer is about the seeds themselves and not the plants that can be grown from them. Making hemp varieties of all their strains would be a lot of work.

Here's some pics of my run of Hella Jelly she was fun to grow and fun to trim with all the frost everywhere. The smell is very sweet and reminds me of a good Blue Dream from back in the day with a hint of candy in there. The high is a good decent daytime buzz similar to Blue Dream for me. I guess I would consider this the new age Blue Dream lol hopefully that doesn't turn some people away.

I’m in week 6 right now (indoor) and wondering at what day did you harvest Hella Jelly? Any tips? This is my 2nd grow…first was Lemongrass and Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

PUDC was growing male sacks 1st week or so in flower. I plucked them and didn’t find a single seed. Nice smooth smoke, unique terps and good clear happy high.

Lemongrass was awesome too, very potent, yet productive high. Lemon and a slight gassy funk. Won’t let me upload the pics for some reason but Lemongrass grew large buds, for an indoor.
