FINAL COMMENTS:

First time growing this strain. All organic guerilla.
From about halfway through veg she started smelling great. Took some sample buds and decided to wait for more amber trichs. I lost some bud to mold on her too, maybe 5%.
Even with a quick dry and no cure, she tasted and smelled very nice. Very dense buds.

Theres definitely a floral-berry-kind of smell, which carries over into the taste too. She wasn't super-potent, but she grew well, yielded OK and tasted and smelt great.





Hashberry trim/popcorn and my pipe for hash.






A HB bud.






Moar bud.











Ps. For pics of her during growth, I made a grow report in the growers forum.

yo, glad to see an outdoor HB grow. I greww hashberry in 07 outdoors. Turned out decently, I let mine go longer than yours though, untill the end of oct which is a little late for my ontario growing, so buds were a bit bigger, but tasted much eartier, even after months of cure. I was wondering if any of your plants smelled like grape skittles when they were growing, 3 out of 4 of mine did, but unfortunately this taste did not prevail in the smoke. I too had problems with mould, but i lost more like 20% of my bud as i was trying to let it finish right up. But your grow seems very consistent with mine and Don Dump's. the HB genetics appear very stable. Very nice report Saibai, props. I would recomend to anyone else growing HB to harvest the main colas a little earlier, and leave smaller nugs to finish right up to prevent a huge loss from mould like i had. Again excellent description of your harvest.

Thanks for the compliments.
not sure of the pheno...it was a mild smoke, not weak as some people have said. I found it great for any time of day but leaning towards the night.
and yeah, they did smell grape-ish at one stage...


I would recommend it, but I probably won't grow it again...the Satori, on the other hand...:D
