Hi folks
Here is my smoke report for my first successful run, which ended up late april/early may of this year. All of these strains have been curing for over a month and are ready for a report . You can see my grow journal for the below strains here:

Anyway, here are the reports (more grow-related info in the gj). Btw, the pics are of just individual buds and are not representative of total yield.
Sour NLX x Haze (Female Seeds; "Sour" NL cut x Nev. Haze)
Pheno 1 (Haze Dominant; 11-13 weeks)
This pheno is by far the best of this run. I think with this one I got at least 75% nev haze. Look for the tallest, sativa-est, branchy xmas tree pheno. Nose is spicey, piney, earthy, floral which translates well to taste. No "sour" flavors detected. Early samples of this one were pure up clear, all-head high. Taken at 12.5 weeks this one is much more balanced with a body element (floaty and relaxed). Potency is an 8-9/10 and really cuts through anything else with little tolerance. I have seen other grows get this pheno and is the one to watch for if looking for a relatively straightforward representation of a good haze -- the smell and experience recall haze buds in amsterdam, mid-90s. Not a one-hit strain but one that most will not forget after a session, due to the good flavor and well-balanced, strong high. This plant was taller than the others on this run and had fairly loose, airy buds but was actually one of the better yeilders when left to build up on itself at the end. This one took nutes very well also.
Pheno 2 (Indica/NL Dominant; 8-10 weeks)
This pheno doesn't really get a fair report here as I had to cut it around 50 days as it started throwing bananas. With that, I still yeilded over an ounce off the plant and had no issues with pollenation. I should have let it go longer but I freaked and pulled it. Strangely, this plant has a tastey but very cheesy/savory unique smell and flavor. This is not what I imagine the "real" cheese strain is like (have not had it) but is a unique and interesting profile none the less. Even taken early the indica dom side of this one shows, as it packs a fairly strong/heavy, yet not too memorable stone. I would not select for this pheno, but it's not bad. There were only scraps left for the photo as I have smoked a lot of this one as it was the first to be cut.
Sour NLX (Grow Shop Alien (Freebie); SD x "Super" NL Cut (?))
Pheno 1 (Less Leafy; 8-9 weeks)
The two phenos of this one are very similar, with a slight bit more leafy-ness in one separating the two. Otherwise, the two phenos are practically identical. The parentage of this strain are questionable due to me receiving info that SNLX may/may not have sour diesel or may/may not have nl or ww genes, etc. Anyway, these plants were very easy to grow and very forgiving. Neither one has what I would call a "sour" dominant or even subtle flavor. Instead, they both have a very floral/fruity pleasant taste/smell. Overall, this bud reminds me of "grey berry" from the grey area coffeeshop, even though I doubt the two are related. As to the high, these are pleasant daytime smokes -- not overly potent. I would give these a 6-7/10 on potency, but an 8 overall considering everything.
Pheno 2 (More Leafy; 8-9 weeks)
See above.
Black Jack (Sweet Seeds; Black Domina x Jack Herer)
Pheno 1 (JH Pheno; 9-11 weeks)
I was very impressed by this strain even though you never hear about this breeder. Very easy to grow and mainly grew very vigorous. I had two of this pheno but lost one that got burnt. The one that I had left was a very pretty/photogenic plant. This one has a very nice floral spice/sweet skunk/ssh flavor profile. The stone doesn't quite match up with the big racy high of other jacks I have sampled, but it is there, just balanced out by the BD. This one is another daytime smoke that is very pleasant but not overwhelming.
Pheno 2 (Runt Pheno; 8-9+ weeks)
This one was an accident that never got transplanted and was going to be culled but got stuck back in the flower room on a whim. I ended up getting about 14 grams from a runt plant when it was done. I wish I had let this one grow out big as it showed a very attractive bud formation even when small. During growth, this one gave off a very sweet, soapy, mentholared berry smell. This has waned a bit but it still has that very sensual, complex smell and flavor to it. This is one to save and break out for that super flavor bomb at the end of the night. The high is similar to Pheno 1 above (7/10).
Master Kush (Nirvana; Skunk 1 x (Hindu Kush x Hindu Kush)(?))
Pheno 1 (Tall Pheno; 8-10 weeks)
I only ended up with one of these so I called it the "tall" pheno as it seemed somewhat tall and lanky for a MK. I tell you, for the money, Nirvana is hard to beat. This plant went about 9.5 weeks and ended up nicely frosted and yielded well. The flavor is a somewhat muted skunky, hashy, old-school weed smell, with a floral/grapey background to it. Very easy to grow. With a cure, the buds break up nicely and have a very relaxing potent stone -- 8/10 on potency. This is a nice strain to have after the haze shown above as it smooths out any rough sativa edges from the stone. Definitely recommended for the price.
Hope that was helpful, started a Nirvana WW run yesterday, a grow journal for which can be found here:
