SeedBank :
Sweet Seeds
Strain:
Sweet Skunk Auto (SSA)
Did it autoflower?:
Yes. This particular plant was grown in a micro pot (~1 liter) and took quite long to finish (90 days). The bank says 60 days; my other SSA is growing on a 3 liter pot and she looks more mature being way younger.
Soil/hydro:
Soil mix (potting soil with added perlite and earthworm castings)
Nutes:
No nutes until flowering began. I used Plagron Terra Bloom, and a couple of doses of PK 13-14.
Light (kind and schedule):
90W Chinese no brand led UFO set to 20/4 day/night cycles.
From seed to harvest date:
Took 90 days. Applied LST trying to get a larger harvest surface.
Dry Yield: did not measure. Probably around 4 or 5 grams tops. Not bad for a side experiment
High/Effect Duration: soft and heady high, quite durable (around 2 hours)
In-depth
RATE SCALE: * bad to ***** good
Bag Appeal: ****
Nice looks, green with dark orange hairs and decent amounts of resin. The resin is somewhat thin, not covering a big surface but it's really sticky.
THE GROWth:**
Probably the weakest point. This plant took forever to mature, and the final harvest is on the low side. This also happens with my larger SSA, which is growing in a 3 liter pot and also is one of the lowest yielding plants I've had.
That being said, the SSA growing in the 3 liter pot is maturing faster than the one I'm basing this review on, so it will probably be harvested aroung day 80 with at least 30% ambers.
THE SMELL: ****
Smells pretty sweet (a common trait in the strains I've tried from this bank), with hints of skunky and intense citrus aroma. The plant is not very smelly when it's left alone, but the aroma appears quickly when manipulated.
THE SMOKE: ***
Nice smoke for only a 3 day drying period/2 day cure
please bear with me, I had no weed to smoke! All I can say is it's relaxing, good tasting and pretty durable. It tends more to the head high, it won't couchlock you. This would really improve with proper cure times, but it's worthless to wait that much for only 4 or 5 grams.
All in all it's a nice weed specially regarding taste and smoke. It's a low yield strain because of the plant structure. Nice aroma, not too strong (good for stealth grows) although it increases if you move the plant around.
I will harvest the "big" one soon, and hopefully will taste the more cured buds. I will try to post any significant differences/improvements then - if my memory works by then

EDIT: please do not pay attention to the thumbs down icon in the thread title. I put that accidentally, I meant to put no icon but I got it wrong, and that one may lead to think negatively of this strain. It was not my intention at all, but it looks like I can't change the thread icon. I repeat, the thumbs down icon is not there intentionally. Sorry for this typo!!
