time for a smoke report on the russian rocket fuel methinks.

fairly crystallized buds with a slight menthol hit on the bong, not harsh at all so quite a pleasant smoke. im finding the potency is not like that of lowryder 2 or hindu kush, but then that could be because im used to my indica smokes and russian rocket fuel is supposed to be more sativa. 2 bongs and im definitely satisfied so i guess its not too bad!
she yielded 14grams dry, not bad for her size plus i took her early. 25quid for 10 seeds you cant really go wrong, plus i took about 250 mature seeds off the RRF so i now have a supply to last me. i didnt think the early pollination took but obviously i was wrong lol!!


russian rocket fuel

smoke 8/10
yield 9/10
potency 7/10

overall 8/10

you only took it down a few days ago right? did you cure or just quick dry and smoke? wondering if that effected the potency.

 

[lowrdr]

i pulled the buds apart and left them to dry until crispy. not sure if that would be enough to ruin the potency

 

[lowrdr]

have found 2 of my seedlings have started of with 3 leaves instead of 2. bit of a mutation there! could be a good one though if it means i get 50% more bud!! hopefully they are a male and female, would be good to see what happens here lol!

took a few photos today. the russian rocket fuel will be coming down at the weekend, its a bit early but im running out of smoke lol.

here's a photo of my other 2 russian rocket fuel ladies. you can see how unstable the strain is! i think the bushier 1 is going to be a pretty heavy yielder if given the chance as there are loads and loads of bud sites with lots of branching. i have lst'd her so im keen to see how she turns out!

you can see the 2 snowryder above in different sized pots. am doing an experiment to see if pot size really makes a difference lol

I have run a few experiments and have come to the conclusion that autos love deep pots doesnt matter how big they are but the deeper the tap root can go the better...

The RRF in the first photo is a real looker.

Excellent condition..good growing m8.

think im gonna go back to the 2litre bottles to cram more in, the 4.5 litre pots take up alot of space and i seem to only have a couple of bushy plants that actually benefit from more root space. after seeing ice cold crickets (i think it was his) 48 lowryder grow im thinking i might try something similar, and see what happens. need to get a supply of nice smoke because i keep running out and have to chop plants early


cheers mossy! things seem to be going well for me at the moment so hopefully i can continue to grow nice ladies!

The difference between 2liter pots and 4.5 liter pots isn't much. Try seeing the different growth between 2liter and 2 gallon pots, THEN you'll see that almost all AF plants love extra root space and will use it. I don't think you're getting a real good comparison with just a two-and-a-half-liter difference.

I would love to have 4 plants just like these to put under mt scrog screen.

think ill keep the 4.5 litre pots for the bushy plants that would benefit, 2litres are definitely enough for a single cola.

got about 50 seeds germing now, they werent very ripe so some havnt germed and others look a bit gammy lol. should get a couple of nice plants to knock up and make loads of f2's. should get loads of bud too which will be nice!

 

[shroomyshroom]

sounds like you are on the right track lowrdr

congrats on everything you have achieved so far

 

[lowrdr]

cheers shroomy! things do seem to be coming together nicely now.

i have some hindu kush x lowryder 2 f1's on the go now, am pretty keen to see what that cross end up like. im hoping they will take after their parents and be super resinous super crystallized and nice and potent! watch this space lol

 

[lowrdr]

ive decided that very soon im going to buy a couple of mr nice g13 x hashplant seeds to work on creating my first autoflower. has anybody grown the g13 x hashplant?? id like to know what your experiences are if you have grown it.

digi cam is bust so have to put up with rubbish phone pics. no close ups unfortunately!



3 ak47 females. not very happy with these. got some crappy genes!



the russian rocket fuel bush is continuing to swell! have been doing a bit of lst on her and shes responding well. lots of bud sites!

ive noticed 1 of my blueberry's is starting to show some purple colouring. starting to look tasty, i just hope the 1 ive seeded develops the same colours!

nice looking grow, I just popped 2 Diesel Ryder, 2 Hindu Kush, and 2 White Russian all auto.

Both of the white russians exploded from the word go, the Diesel Ryders are keeping up, and the Hindu Kush is pretty pathetic. Out of the first two seeds one finally popped, and it doesn't look good at all.

As of right now I'm blown away by the white russians, these things are growing a little bit each time you look at them. I'll keep you updated, it looks like you are looking for a fast growing, strong, AF, this white russian might be the one.

My hindu kush autos from Lowlife were pretty slow growers. Admittedly, I had initial problems with heat stress, but only the auto hks suffered. The thai x super skunk (yeah, some sativas handle heat better) exploded in the same conditions.
