aaah yes, the second pheno......
2) The longer flowering hazey phenos
These were the plants that flowered over that 9 week period. The longer the flowering period the fluffier the buds.
The smells are very similar to the first pheno, as are the tastes....except 1 very important thing......HAZE.
Yes, you don't really smell it so much but once you spark up, some of these phenos have a very pronounced and surprising haze flava, especially on the inhale...It is just awesome.
Again, the flavours cure down to a lemon-candy but with a beautiful haze twist
The yields on these plants are nothing short of breath-taking. I didn't have 1 that wasn't a monster. They growth rate is probably similar to the first pheno but because these guys have an extra 3 or 4 weeks, they just keep going! Madness.
The nute regime can be a little less taxing as they are not quite as sensitive. I did notice that the really long flowerer was very light sensitive and didn't like N. It would grow leafy with a N feed.
The highs are different from the indica phenos in that they are much more recreational. The horribly potent thump of the Critical Mass is toned down and tempered with a wonderful euphoria that, whilst not up to heights of the Mango Haze, leaves you giddy when combined with the body hit that the Mango just doesn't have...in short, with selection, you can find a plant that is perfectly balanced in the indica/sativa spectrum. As Billy mentioned, anybody growing plants like the S.A.G.E. will come over to this now.
In terms of commercial appeal, this pheno has all that the other pheno offered (with one exception) stacks of sticky resin, beautiful looking buds, soft smoke, bag escaping stink, stunning flava, strength. The difference is the high... Those customers who like The Cheese will LOVE this. Those that like White Widow are better off with the other pheno. The exception to this is the really long flowerer. It's buds are loose and has much less body. Whilst it is a worthwhile grow and great head stash, I don't see it as a commercial keeper. It can take 12 weeks or more to finish (mine was cut at 12 weeks but had at least 10 days more in it...) and its buds are not as tight.
Again, the smoke is soft and thick and full of flavour but with added Haze.
A vigorous growing, heavy yielding, fun, commercial product of massive recreational quality. Some very noticeable medical applications, such as insomnia and eating dis-orders. Very very low paranoia. Good anti-anxiety. Medium/good level anti-depressant. Amazing 'West-Coast' style flava.
I will outline my keeper in the next post...
