Lighting My first-ever Autocob grow! (HSO Blue Dream x2)

[PapaEmeritus]

So, because I'm not sure where else to put it - the smoke report!

I've never done one of these before, so to prepare I snagged a small bud from the jar last night (been curing since 8/14) smoked it up and noted my impressions.

Taste/Smell: My sense of smell isn't terribly keen and I don't know if I can quite place the scent of the bud in the jar other than "dank", but upon sparking the bowl there's a very definite sandalwood flavor and smell. Really nice. A little bit fruity on the exhale as well, but not super strong. The smoke itself has some decent substance to it as well. Sorta thick.

Effects/Duration: Gives a general overall body high at first - sort of a low-key buzzy feeling that moves into a back-of-the-head tingling that I found really soothing. If you wanna just kinda zone out for awhile or need a little mood boost this is great for pre-gaming before a netflix or youtube binge, lol. Really upbeat and random giggles too, and if you're in any kind of pain this wouldn't be a bad choice. I have chronic back pain and this Blue Dream is pretty fantastic at knocking it out both in terms of actual pain control as well as taking your focus off of the pain itself. Very relaxing - definitely on my list for night-time meds, as you'll be yawning before too long. Effects last quite awhile as well - good for a solid 2-3 hours.

I'll be making an ounce or so of glycerine tincture with it soon, and I'll update with any new impressions.

*EDITED TO ADD* Just a little bud shot for anyone interested. :smoking:

Yessir, hempy w/Growstones as the medium. The first maybe gallon or two she got was ph'd to 5.7, and there was one gallon that I forgot to let it sit overnight to offgas - I guess that might have given her a little trouble. I've been keeping feeds back at 5.8 now though.

And yeah, my regimen is exactly what I've put down so far: .5 Armor Si, 7g Maxibloom, 6ml CaliMagic & .6ml Mammoth P per gallon. They're currently getting about 160z a day of that.

So it is safe to assume this was probably a PH hiccup due to the 5.7PH for a bit? And if so, I assume the remedy is just to keep my PH at 5.8 and go forth to sin no more?

And while I have y'all here - what are everyone's thoughts on chlorine? I leave my tap water to sit as a matter of course, but there have been a few times between this grow and the last one I ran where I flat out forgot to set some out to breathe and just made up my nutes with straight tap water. I've looked for info on whether it's actually harmful or not and haven't been able to find a definitive answer.

for what its worth, i feed my Hempys in 2 gallon pots every 3-4 days. Just got to bloom nutes at 30 days since first set of leaves.
