3 phenos of AK and Romulan

let me introduce you to the pic

mr bubbles, old blue, and boxcar betty (its a glass sidecar)
Romulan unknown weight, and AK-70day 1.8 grams


all AK cloned well 100% strike rate at 14 day most showing roots at 10 days

70 day AK-tall spear shaped structure with sativa leaves, best yield, very subtle fruit taste with a strong cedar after taste. My favorite. a good high for about an hour then 2 hours of couch lock and really red eyes.

60-65 day AK-Shortest plant bull nose rounded colas. indica/sativa shaped leaves, lowest yield, but still modest(could have potential for better yields if ran correctly), smells faintly like fruity pebbles, and taste kinda fruity. Nothing I can put my finger on. Most of my friends like this one best. More of a high, Just doesn't have the stone for me.

55-60 day AK- My least favorite plant. Foxtail, tall and branchy. Very frosty, but bud density just looked like shit. It never really developed a true good looking cola. The plant took up alot of space and lots of leafs but it produced decent in the end. At 55 days I took good chop. A good high with a citrus taste and pine smell with no couch lock (I liked this better earlier than later). After 60 it took on a pine taste. I like pine taste but not this favor (evergreen). someone said it tasted minty. I dislike this out of a pipe. It aint bad out of a bong. But the stone is nice and sustained.

I did the final ak chop at 70-77 days. So I will report back when it smokes.

Romulan I had 5 girls. 4 good ones and 1 runt. Sativa spears with dense tiny calyx almost looked seeded at times. Large floppy indica fan leaves. 2 were really picky when it came to watering. Pretty uniform bud appearance. They looked like they wouldn't produce shit early on in flowering. I pulled some at 55-65 days. It put on majority of the weight near the end. somewhere after 65 day It almost seemed like the trichs turned from 90% cloudy back to clear overnight and stayed that way for a week. I hit it with a weak dose of kelp and committed to another week till harvest. I broke one of the branches when they were in this state and threw it in the leaf bin cuz I was pissed. I brought it over to my friends house. I think it lost potency...however it was one of those days where I wanted to chill and see how much weight was lost in a heavy smoke session. I took another small harvest at 75 days. potency is about an 6 as of now. it has really good pine smell and boring but clean taste. I took down the main crop at 80 days. It seemed considerably more greasy and amber goodness. I got my fingers crossed but I will report back when it is dry.

romulan and late AK

romulan and late AK

Well I have been snacking on romulan and the later harvest of AK. Overall the AK gained potency, but not enough to where I will be take them this late. The tall spear shaped 70 day is still my favorite. 3 or 4 good hits just rock me, and it seems that I am not building up a tolerance. The pine one I give a potency of 7 and the fruity one a potency of 8.

The romulan just didn't cut it in the end. It reaks of pine, but still held on to a clean bland boring taste. My friends still think it beats most of the fire from dealers. To me the potency to weight ratio just doesnt tickle me. It takes me more weed to get where I want to be. It a creeper, but when you get there your just plain FRIED for a long time. I have been tricking people to smoke more. I brought it by a friends house and said that it is not that good.....I then twist his arm to consumed 3 bowls out of a nice double perc bong. 15 min later he couldn't move and almost drooling. He barely had enough ambition to play call of duty. Not bad considering he is a pretty heavy stoner and he was baked for a long time. I had a lightweight friend that claims the weed is too strong. I give it an 8 for potency in relation to weight, but if I smoke 2 nice size bowls, I feel like the eggs in the pan in the "This is your brain on drugs commercial" So some may view that as very potent.
 
I think I just stole my own thread

I think I just stole my own thread

here is some more pics of the piece. www.7pipe.com.

The glass piece is pretty fragile so get extras to have on hand incase breakage occures. It was a bitch to clean, however I found a good method using the brush that is included and starbucks frapachino bottle where you can shake ISO and salt without breaking the pipe. I just let it soak as the other pipe is being used. it is much easier now to clean. Takes about 10 min to clean by digging into the small three holes with pipe cleaners. I usually run about 7 grams through it before swapping out the glass. You could run more, but it really gets dirty and gets more difficult to clean.

The bowl is a little on the small side, but not too small. I find it perfect size for 1 seasoned toker or 2 moderate smokers. 3 people I would prefer a different weapon.

The lighter is good but not great. I have preferred a little more quality and consistency to the flame, but it strikes 90% of the time. It also is easy to adjust the flame without tools and it holds a good amount of butane. Tilting the pipe up and to the right gets the flame to burn the bowl nice and evenly, but takes a little getting used to. Make sure your friends are smarter than the pipe...Its pretty easy to rocket a nice hole if their dumbass keep the flame lit.

airflow just plain ROCKS!!! on this pipe. Due to the side car design it almost creates a little tornado effect mixing air and smoke right below the bowl. Nice thick smoke with very shallow pulls.

I would have preferred if they had a built in poker, but there is a little spot to tuck it away below the magnetic back.

That thing's sweet. I'm a utilitarian smoker nowadays and keep a $4.99 glass bat (looks like a crackpipe, frankly) on me at all times, packs about .05g and 2 or 3 hoots keeps me going for an hour or so. That looks even better for my purposes (super stealth as I work on a busy street and have to step right outside and into my truck to smoke throughout the day safely). Nice review man thanks.
