What was you dry weight on the AP w/chz?

Nomis- I'm late by a few weeks but congrats on the grow. What was your overall feeling on the Supplements (Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching)? How many weeks were you using each one and were you using 1/4 TSP per dosage or less?

Thanks

Hey man, I was on vacation the last week and missed your post. I'm not really sure the supplements made much of a positive difference. I'm pretty sure the high K caused my cal/mag lockout. I was using full strength (.25 tsp per gallon) by week 7 so may have simply been too much. I need to see some others using the stuff before I try it again I think.

The harvest was 5.5 zips plus trim and a branch I cut early. This is comparable to my last grow of Berry Ryder using the same growing conditions minus the supplements. I can't say I notice much difference in bud density or trichome production. I'll try again but right now wouldn't suggest spending the $$$ on the entire set.

Drying time was a bit longer than expected and I had to break down the buds a bit and dry in kraft paper the last day to ensure the buds dried. The buds have been in mason jars for the past couple of weeks and I've been smoking them exclusively over the last 2 days. It's really smelly stuff, a heavy skunk smell that gets past any zip lock back in your pocket. Too smelly to take with me and for home use only at least for now.

The smoke is smooth and velvety with a strong note of cinnamon and... well, dirt. There's a pronounced taste of common commercial street weed in the vein of Jamaican 20 sacks from back in the day. I'm not blown away, but it's not bad. I don't think it's worthy of a place on a store shelf in its current state but I'd like to see some others grow it out and see what they think.

The stone is kinda retro too haha. It hit's my front sinus first with a dull thump, then creeps into my eyes, turning them droopy and red. My body envelops the dullness and I'm somewhat reluctant to venture to the kitchen for a beverage. Eventually the cottonmouth is too much and I make it to the fridge and back for another toking session. Extended use results in a fuzzy head and loss of multitasking ability. Not tired, but not motivated to do much either.

It may be more of a personal choice, but I prefer my last grow of Auto Seeds Berry Ryder over this Auto pounder. The taste was more enjoyable and the stone was higher quality while harvesting the same amount of bud. I'll give it another couple of weeks in the mason jars before I make my final decision I suppose.

I've got another one of these going in a 32oz cup @ around day 60, so will be interesting to compare against.
