Strain hunters: Money Maker

I decided to buy this seeds (http://original-ssc.com/money-maker-strain-hunters.html) firstly because they seemed interesting a a kush variety, and secondly because they are really cheap (12 eur for 3 seeds). I had some bad luck with them since from 3 seeds i got only one plant, but that was my fault, since I accidentally over watered them in the start and therefore allowed the rot to kick in when they were most vulnerable. I placed he germinated seed in a 50 liter pot filled with my home made humus and some natural fertilizers and placed it in my back yard next to Black Destroyer. The plants grow with same vigor, topped them both very early, and in the end they were both the same size - but black destroyer was bushy and dense while the Money maker had some sativa appearance with pale green elongated leafs and quite long inter nodes. The plant can take insane nutrient levels without any problem, completely resistant to spider mites (black destroyer was 1 meter from the MM, and while BD was full of spider mites there were none on the MM) and as it started flowering it was clear that it's also quite resistant to mold. But it also became obvious that this plant needs A LOT of sun! I had a crappy season, with a few sunny days and almost non stop rain, and it was clear that the plant just doesn't show any progress on the days without sun (i had an outdoor Black Rose in the same time that was finished in like 5-6 weeks during non stop rain). Because of that the flowering took forever, i took it down when snow started falling, and if there was no snow i would probably put it to flower some more. Pistils are huge (the biggest i'v seen), but there are not much of them if there is no sun (i can only imagine the thickness of the buds when the conditions are right). But despite that, i got some fairly large buds, completely covered in trichomes, and with some nice pineapple smell to it! Got around 480g of dried buds from the plant. When dried, buds are nice and moderately fluffy but really heavy in the same time, and they give one hell of a smoke! Uplifting with a hints of heavy high, and the with a great smooth taste to it. Next season I'm putting this plant somewhere outdoor on a meadow full of sun, an then i will see what it can really do!

My weed is not for sale :P But i must admit that this strain has kind of a stupid name!
Well let's say someone doesn't have a lot of cash. They know a lot people who smoke. Decide they're going to turn a profit on said people. Now they turn around. Buy a pretty big order of em. Have a few outdoor patches of all females (all profits no males) Not to mention freebies. At the end of season they start cashing in on a small initial investment on top of not having to buy smoke themselves. Strain hunters knew what they were doing when they slapped the name on there.

When mine finished the buds were so big the limbs snapped in half from the weight once I removed it from the tent.. one of the bigger producers I've had vs.all leafy...

I had like 5x more troubles with trimming the frisian dew then money maker! yes, it's kind of leafy, but as you can see on picture 2 i didn't waste my time with removing all the leafs, i just took of the fan leafs and then trimmed everything that was sticking far out of the bud. there was much of the leafs on the bud left but they are all covered with trichomes, so i just dried it like that, and the buds turned out nice and silky with a great taste, no harsh taste from the leafs at all!

Just stay the hell away from the Flower Bomb Kush.
I grew out one, near the end there must have been 500 pollen pods on the bastard.
My bestfriend grew out one, same thing, pollen pods throughout the plant.
Another Greenhouse seeds, bullshit strain.
