Just a quickie Jake's Romulan BX1 F2

[exoticrobotic]

A big thank you to Jake @ Romulan Genetics and Ace seeds for making these unique old school varieties available again.

Just over 9 weeks flowering at day 65.

Plants have been on plain water for the last three or four days

A couple out of the five Rom F2s are done but the other three could do with another few days to a week to finish properly.

Calyxes are starting to swell and only a few new flowers are being formed.

There is a nice range of expressions amongst these F2s from the lower yielding larger calyxed resinous flowers

to the higher yielding smaller calyxed slightly less resinous flowers. What a mouthful

Looks Killer my friend, love the sausage smelling herb too. I know the exact smell bc I have a plant with that aroma right now. Exactly like breakfast casserole with sage sausage. Romulan is something I have always wanted to grow. Canbabis is one cool plant, I mean what else in nature can smell like sausage or anything else it can resemble for that matter...crazy.

Thanks bro.

It's an amazing plant, so many weird and wonderful smells that zoom you places.

I always associate that sausage to bleachy smell with killer old school herb, i hope these Romulan F2s deliver in the high department.

Recently, although i'm not proud to admit it, i've been rolling a single skin and then wiping the spliff up and down the lower buds to sample one plant's live resin. The closest plant to the tent's entrance i couldn't help myself.

I was quite amazed. Totally cut through what i was smoking and provided a nice rushy high with permagrin and nice pain relief.

Tomorrow they will have had 70 days flower.

I took a sneeky peek at them last night and they look very close to done but i will need to give them another few days as i just had a back steroid injection and the thought of 6 hours trimming is not doing it for me despite the fentanyl and despite the Rom F2s looking like they need hardly any trimming.

There is the really massive yielder back right in the tent that smells of cornish pasties/roast chicken crisps.

i really want to reveg and clone it. Heck i really want to reveg and clone them all they were such a pleasure to grow and a couple have that flourescent green bud look, all with high calyx/leaf ratio.

What plant are you running @nick11 that smells of breakfast casserole with sage sausage?

i'm hungry now

 

[nick11]

Personally I wait until there done to see which one looks the most desirable then reveg. I'm space limited though. The one I'm referring is a durban thai x jack herer from bros grimm..got that old school stink.

 

[nick11]

Here she is I call her "Bertha". She'll stink you out of house and home. My girl thinks I'm farting all over the house haha its rank man. But lovely in a canbabis way haha.

durban thai x jack herer

What a beautiful plant. Hope you fly high with her

I used to get some lovely JH 20 years or so ago. It tasted Goaty which thinking about it is similar to some of the bleachy, fart spray, raw sausage notes.

 

[nick11]

I've noticed people love that jack taste or absolutely hate it. Terpinoline isn't everyone's favorite terp. Please share when you harvest your beautues.

A little update on day 69 flowering.

One of the 5 females, the one that resembled the mum the most has looked ready for the last week or so.

I reckon i could've taken her at the end of October like i originally intended but the rest needed 10 weeks like the strain description.

Middle back - Most like mother

It hasn't really done anything for the last week apart from plump up a touch and turn a shade of pink while the other four plump up.

I tried to get a nice flush on them all but it turns out not quite as much as i wanted.

Anyway, here are some pics of the flowers just before

Back left

Back right - yielder

Front left

Front middle - My favourite with it's high calyx:leaf ratio and resin coverage.

Smoke reports to follow after a long cool dry and cure

 

[nick11]

What kind of camera/ phone are you using? Man your putting my ugly pictures to shame, wish I could take pics like that. Had u grown romulan before? The hell with og, chem, and cookie..I want that! What u planning next run?

Hi @nick11

I'm using an old iphone 8 discard from my son after he forced me to buy him an iphone 12. I tried a decent Panasonic digi camera on tripod but the iphone's auto mode without flash beats it everytime. What camera do you use?

I grew 5 Romulan BX1 from Romulan Genetics under led in a very cold room this time last year and i got a tiny bit of rather nice bud from the one female i got.

Luckily i dusted a few of her branches with pollen from the 4 males and got a couple of hundred F2 seeds. The girls in this thread are five of these F2s grown out under cmh and hps.

I very much hope the smoke from them will be as unique as the smells coming off them. I have a feeling they will shine, they look and smell old school.

I've grown a few OG crosses from Capt Kryp and others. They were all very nice, the Capt Kryp ones being better and well above average. The Rom F2s do have a lot to live up to.

Next up will be repro of GN Zamal if i can get any of the 20 yr old seeds to germinate.



Thanks for popping in

 

[exoticrobotic]

They've had 70 days flowering from seedling and they indeed look done.

One yellow fan leaf clearly got the message about flushing

Live resin smells:-

Front right - Prime red seal with citrus.
Front left - Citrus with almondy playdough
Back left - Pomelos, lemons, ozone+coconut
Back right (big yielder) - Prime red seal with butyl rubber, roast chicken crisps, mango chutney and opium
Back middle - Hash oil, cheese and faecal notes, sour musky funk.

Looks like the one week veg time didn’t effect much. Nice haul

Nice looking I love that funky smell of Romulan. My Romulan has a dirty stale laundry kind of funk to it along with the pine and pepper. Unique genetics for sure. Great job!

Hey @linde

There's a large pile of buds on the table. Have a bowl, pipe or roll a fatty bro!

hehe. They are unique genetics for sure.

I quick dried a few lower buds on a propagator heat mat/radiator where they started to take on different smells and that damp laundry smell indeed popped up a tiny bit but with some deeper acrid smells, totally different to the live resin smells from earlier and totally different to most other bud.

The smell of a little flourescent green bud in my pocket absolutely stinks and it's a stink i've not smelled for quite a while.

It smells of nice old school weed, when bud first was available, Ya know that skunky mango, hint of pepper, hint of damp laundry...

Smoking two tiny bud samples, leaves a nice earthy taste but with bitter lemons and some mustiness on the palate with one, the other has more earthiness to it and a hint of pepper with the lemon.

It's a great smoke so far and actually quite strong with nice depth and euphoria.

Makes me smile and take a deep breath in. Makes me want to raise my hands in the air lol.

Joint pain greatly subsided and anhedonia greatly reduced. Nice colour contrast enhancement, fluttery expansion and i can feel my cheeks. Stimulates appetite for healthy foods, not sugar ( weird i know ).

All with a nice clear head.

i've only sampled a tiny bud or two but it's great medicine

Thanks @Kalbhairav

There's also a freshly brewed coffee!

Yes, it surprised me with the size of the buds considering the very short veg time of a week or so before flipping to flower.

I think the Airpots really help with developing huge amounts of the thin delicate feeding roots and also ensured a better wet/dry cycle with much less risk of root rot/cold wet roots.

e2a And of-course, the most important part.... The great genetics.

 

[exoticrobotic]

I’ve always found the quality and size of my flowers largely depends on pot size and how I feed, not when I switched from veg to flower. And of course, quality of genetics!

 

[nick11]

Killer bro! Look forward to your smoke report.

 

[exoticrobotic]

Killer bro! Look forward to your smoke report.

Thanks nick. They turned out niiice I'm well happy with them.

Roll yourself a fatty bro

I'm managing to get a nice slow cold dry so far at 60%rh 14c

and i've tried a couple of smaller buds.

The one i'm chuffing on atm smells of lemon, chocolate and that kushy peardrop smell with an offensive damp laundy smell pervading throughout.

It smokes smooooth, tastes of choc n lemon pine with nutty after taste with hint of almond fading to cherry drops with the end note a touch of wet newspaper

Hits fast and hard, opens the lungs, removes pain, gives a very nice permagrin and golden hazy tinge to everything with a clear functional high.

Eyes are shot to fuck though. mrs keeps asking me wtf i'm smoking -_-

It's a very very nice smoke and lasts a nice while.

It stinks to high heaven, old skunky heineken smell from afar

Photo of above bud. 14 days drying. Smokeable, nice and smooth but no cure.
