New Grower Backyard: Chaze and Candy Kush
- Thread starter QRanc
- Start date
Okay, it's been a while. I'll finally post an update. All plants have been LST'd to limit the height. I should have put the Candy Kush out later in the year. I think they are a bit stunted due to a couple of weeks of cold weather at the beginning (regular night time lows of 2 degrees celcius).
Originally, I didn't expect all of my plants to make it. So I did some experimenting with them. Really just super-cropping. Everyone says not to super-crop autos. Thought I'd give it a try on a couple anyway...
Candy Kush:
These all started of smelling strongly of lemon Pine-Sol. They still do, but much danker.
#1 - I super-cropped this one. Then while LSTing, accidentally super-cropped it again. This one will have the biggest yield of the bunch!
#2 - The prettiest one of the bunch. This one was super-cropped accidentally. I think the wind broke it shortly after I tied it down. Wind hit about 80 km/h!
#3 - This one was not super-cropped. It has a strange bud structure, kind of flat and wide. It is the frostiest of the four, also will most likely yield the least.
#4- I didn't think this one would survive. It was lanky with almost no leaves off the start. I LST'd it for shits and giggles. Turns out it was just more sativa than the others. It is a good week or two behind the others.
Chaze:
These have a nice spice and incense smell to them.
#1 - My favorite of the two. It started off a triploid and continued that way right until preflower stretch. It is squat and bushy, it seems like it was made for LST. It is just over a week into flower now. 9 finger fans.
#2 - This one is just barely showing preflowers now. It is still stretching like crazy. Clearly more sativa that #1, it is almost a foot taller. I am skeptical as to whether I'll get to harvest this one before the season ends. 11 finger fans.

I harvested the Candy Kush on the 5th. It was 80 days from sowing, give or take a day. It has been drying since then. I have moved it to jars for the burping portion of the process. Not too bad a haul. It fills 3-500mL mason jars.
Anybody who doubts autos for potency can cram it with walnuts. This stuff is the bees knees! My buddy was looking at some of it and said that it looked and smelled amazing. He doesn't know I grew it, so no bias. I'll do a proper smoke report after a longer curing process.
Preliminary report: The high is nice. It's mellow, but very social. Lasts about 3 hours. Not really much for couch lock. Great for listening for tunes and hanging out. Too heavy for doing anything overly complicated.

Thanks Bal! I'm pretty proud of the results, considering it's my first attempt. I am pretty confident it wouldn't have turned out as well, if not for all the help from the AFN community! Wonderful folks around here.:group:
I only have 1 chaze still going. I'll get a pic up soon. I chopped the big one. At 84 days it was still stretching, and showing no sign of going into flower. There wasn't enough summer left for it to make it, so I made a judgement call (no sense wasting fert, hope etc.). Plus, we've been below seasonal norms here for 3 straight weeks. It'll be nip and tuck for the one I have still going.

Thanks for the kind words. I used to be under the impression that outdoor weed was "bunk, ditchweed". Turns out, if done correctly, it can be really good!
This is way better stuff than I was getting from my dealer. He was a shady guy.
