Hey Royal Nugs, I'm just curious. Would it be okay with you if I published this journal as a grow journal on the website? I just think everything you documented would be so helpful to new growers and I want to make sure your garden gets the attention it deserves! -
That just means your next grow is going to have even better yields! -
Thanks Nebula. I'm very pleased with the quality. I think it would have turned out better if they didn't run out of steam halfway through flowering. -
Almost 11 ounces isn't something to shake a stick at! It sounds like the quality of your buds came out great, congratulations!
The smell of the buds should come back and intensify during the curing process. It's normal for them to not have any smell except hay immediately after drying, so if you're still getting dank smells that's a really good sign! Super soil produces some of the best smelling bud! -
Drying is complete after 5.5 days. Yield was a bit disappointing but expected. Surprisingly they were all about the same weight. I expected the ice bomb to be the big yielder but it wasn't.
Lemon Headband - 2.77 oz
El Fuego - 2.69 oz
Ice Bomb - 2.61 oz
Purple Kush - 2.55 oz
There were so many crowns on the lemon headband, double in fact (26) vs the rest of the year plants due to all the toppings. The nugs were small but dense with a lemon pledge smell and taste. I sampled them all over the last 2 days, the high was a creeper high, took a good 10 minutes to kick in with a typical sativas buzz. Long lasting and bright. Very pleasant. 8/10
El Fuego was the belle of the ball. Expected to be the worst yielder she put out some dense little nugs with a cat piss (ammonia) smell. It's a great smell, very dank. Hashy and citrusy flavor with very heavy effects. The buzz dissipates quickly after about half an hour but it's like you never smoked... no groggy effects from coming down. This one is our favorite. 9/10
Ice bomb definitely has a dominant white widow lineage and you can certainly tell when smelling this one. There's a lot going on with the terpene profile. Undertones of mint and vanilla with a piney up front smell. The taste is just like it smells. Lots of people love this type of profile, I'm not huge on it but I can appreciate why people like it so much. The buzz was surprisingly heavy with a nice pain relief (according to my wife). She likes it more than I do so it's pretty much hers. 7/10
Purple kush had such a wonderful grape dimetap smell. Anyone who's taken grape dimetap knows exactly what I'm talking about. Very unique. The smell dwindled considerably during drying. We were very disappointed, hopefully it returns after the cure. I'm sure it will a little bit. The flavor is unremarkable. The high is sedative and very relaxing. This is my wife's "sleepy meds". Insomniac should def try this one. I give it a decent score only because of the high. 6.5/10
This is after trying each strain only twice now. The cure will probably not reveal much of a difference in flavor or smell, but the smoothness and potency should increase slightly.
Overall im pretty happy with everything. I'll do a follow up review in a couple weeks.
Thanks for checking out my journal 😀
Nugs out!Leave a comment:

Reading all the threads and seeing all the pictures. Yes, I really miss growing. We haven't even sampled our harvest from a few months ago. We are wrapping up some remodeling work this month, and then I am at least going to get an auto started. Don't really need the tent for that. (If you like raunchy but hilarious comedy, watch Russell Brand Ponderland. Pets is a good episode, but they are all funny. youtube) Rated R for Raunchy. -
Ty ty, i see you changed your avatar, barely recognized you, lol
I do hope you get to growing again soon... you must be all itchy and sweaty... -
Oh my, oh my!! Nugzie, I haven't checked in recently. Was admiring plants of page 6 and now on page7 I see your harvest. Looks so fantastic. Some big ass nugs in the bunch. Enjoy dear friend!Leave a comment:
