Finished
Well, I finished 5 walkabout phenos outdoors. I wasnt able to post pics on the thread but I have a few in my gallery if anyone is intetested. There are still a few I want to get on there from earlier in the summer.
I grew them all straight in the ground with homemade guano teas for soil maintenance and flavor. They all finished between the second and third week of october, and at 4,000 ft. The cold temps towards the end probably reduced the yields a bit, but added beautiful colors and good resin production. Still a couple yielded over 12 ounces each, and the ones that yeilded lower are still a pleasure to smoke. The smells range from lemons to mangos, spicy undertones, and all unique in their own way. The flavors are represented by the individual aromas, except more defined with added exotic fruit flavour and hash undertones.
I planted all of them late in the season to control the hieght(I had 16 other plants to hand trim also) and wasnt able to cover my greenhouse unfortunately. So I barely beat the snow. Trichomes look nice and finished(at least 25% amber in each). I know some people like it more ripe, but 25 is actually about where I prefer for the majority of strains I grow.
As much as I like them all, one of them is wow. Great medicine and the taste is amazing. With better temperatures I know they would yield incredibly and with a top on my greenhouse, I could have pushed them an extra week. No complaints this year though and I have 8 more seeds.
Sorry for the poor thread. It was all done off my phone and it was my first. I am preparing to germinate my nevills haze next month, so I will do a better job on the next one. Also looking into either black widow or medicine man for the next batch, leaning toward med. man. Open to suggestions.
