HPS rockwool heresy and a tent of freebies

[G.O. Joe]

Sensi's NL would be really good if it had a different smell. It's hard to describe but I don't like it. It's like BW in being in the same area of unpleasant chemical smell. A lot of things I've made with NL5 in it have this sort of smell. But as a bush it has perfect natural structure and would be great for extract. Big, round, sturdy - could support more weight. I hope to try it as an ornamental along a driveway.

Sensi's Big Bud went 10 weeks and also has a chemical smell comparable to BW and NL, but a little stronger. Fuel mixed with Simple Green. Sensi calls it a sweet fruit profile.



Here's SC dry and defoliated. This should easily have the best aroma and flavor of the seven, better than any seed for sale I've tried except NL5xHaze. Because the bar is pretty low, really. It's not anything like dank. Mango with lemon and grass.



Unfortunately the buds are not as dense as they appeared, and destemming left me with only 70 grams of this:

 

[G.O. Joe]

Yet another (this is getting weird) 625 g. grow. BB came out to 70 g, same as SC, but in a much smaller footprint.



BC went 3 months because the lower half refused to die. Foxtaily like GC but unexpected here. 125 g. So much for better pictures.



Dinafem does themselves no favor with the BW freebies, 50 g.

 

[G.O. Joe]

GC was 180 g. - 3 more of them could have been grown instead of the other 6, with no other changes, for 720 g.



The great natural structure of NL is easier to see now. 105 g., but 150 would come with better light. This had the densest buds of the lot.

This is funny.

Nice grow, I've done something similar recently, a run with freebees and bag seeds, I had a Green Crack S1 as well , it was a fun session with many different plants who made great buds to smoke

Not freebies now but not much else is different, so this shit again. Here I'm not even measuring pH or ppm - just mixing up the Flora in RO water and rolling with it. This is just the last two SLH fems and last 4 Sensi NL5H regs from their packs, forgotten in the fridge for years. The leaves don't look hazy do they, but the light spectrum and all used here does make leaves fat. The internode length and the measuring tape says that I've got tall, short, and in between, 9.5-17''. These will veg for a bit.

 

[G.O. Joe]

Had a go with HPS color correction, not a complete success. I suspect the SLH are the tall ones on the right, will know for sure later. They didn't look like this under unenhanced HPS in promix or whatever. About as indica as it gets on the left, but I did get quite hazy, excellent phenos from older NL5xH seed which gave the whole range. But then the other 6 in this pack were on the indica side too, so...well the point is RW is simple, clean, foolproof and excellent, moreso than finding the right seed.

I mean Super Lemon Haze is Skunk crossed to a Skunk/NL/Haze hybrid, maybe the leaves are "appropriate".
