good to hear yuk , i think you´ll have some fun playing with them its an easy going strain from A to Z
here´s a small smoke report of the dense pheno , its dense - rocksolid after drying
appearance: mainly a pale/lightgreen ; silver covered chunk of only bracts , very low leaf content
smell: fruity/berry/peppery and a bit spicy and licorice like when busted up in a grinder
taste : heavy spice
stone/high : its an intense Blockhead buzz , head wise , but way more narcotic body action added due to the Venomberry99 , the duration of the experience is prolonged from the blockhead influence , averaging 3 hours flat out after a real fatty
Hey there fj..
Nice VH! I'm sure glad I got a couple packs of those! I just love that leaf shape.. really nice. That's what got me! I look for those beautiful leaves. Can't wait to run it.
I'm running a 250W . Do you think a scrog of VH will do ok under a 250? I plan to run them at flower right from seed. May take a bit longer than 65. Probably more like 75 - 80. What do you think?
GReat stuff man! Thanks for working on it for us!
hej acorn i def recommend you to start em as you would start any other seed (24/0 or 18/6) for 3 -4 weeks with some lst from day 10 or so .... , that you can fill out a screen in the first 2-3 weeks of flowering ... i would select a dense and not that to heavy stretching pheno , this will yield a bit more as the first run
Here is mine that are in flower. The 2 taller ones are still stretching. One of the taller ones has huge calyxes
The shortest one was just put into flowering yesterday. It has been topped. The 2 taller ones have been pollenated The flowered male has been culled along with the runt that was in veg.
hej nice scuba , hope you have luck finding a pheno that fits your grow well
generally they yield good to very good here are some other pix of the fluffier pheno after a good dry in a paper bag ...
ok here are some of my thoughts about Venomhead ...
Its an easy to grow strain , with a bit of variation due to the different phenotype of mothers used , the Vb99 part adds a nice narcotic touch to the soaring and tough relaxing Blockhead buzz , as well as the Vb99 father make´s a faster coming head high due to its c99 influence ...
Both pheno´s i smoked over a period of ~ 2 weeks were very nice smoke , with a strong spicy to lemon/mentholy taste and a light lemon- berry smell on both -
One was denser and yielded less as the fluffy one which was a real high yielder , but got more leaf and wasnt as resinated as the less yielding one -
2 of my friend´s raved about the dense Vh (labeled #1 ) , they received one of the early test cutting´s that i have done just for seeing how long they take
i hope he will chime in with some pix of a nice full table of Venomhead ...
that´s it , my testgrow has ended , im happy with the result ... we´ll see what the next month will bring , maybe there will be another batch of Vh , but with a good work of selection done -
jus so u know fj I used a BOH VB F2 (unreleased indica pheno) female with my frosty BH male, i believe you know the one.
I have some coming down soon, and it's quite obvious that they're dif. Yours look much more C99 dominant, and perhaps some additional sativa from the 'non-indica' dominant VB, more thai dominance perhaps. Definately no mistaking either cross for each other. Mine grow much more indica dominant, adding very little stretch to the BH's average stretch. They also all purple/burgundy, some leave turn almost black, and some plants just get highlights on top bracts and leaves. And there seems to me a lil more resin content overal on my cross, perhaps from the male, but as we all know it has little to do with potency and more to do with eye appeal and hash potential.
Regardless, i'm sure both are great, but i suspect mine leans more to the BH, and is less heady than yours. would be interesting to compare finished bud.
well were at day 6 flower right now...looks like these two are girls, but i'll need another day or so to be sure.
here they are w/ a couple of TFB's that are def. female.
venomhead
TFB male (MTF pheno that I'll be using to cross w/ MTF pheno female) for TFB f2's...which should result in a stronger MTF influence in the offspring ((I think?))...more TFB pics in the OG's TFB thread
I'll keep you guys posted..especially when things start gettin frosty
alright day 17 these Venomheads are becoming massive bushes (remember i topped them a few weeks ago)....both really similar (one a bit more indica dom.)
the is the one slightly more idica dom.
...and as mentioned in the TFB thread i am using this one to make a small batch of (Venomhead x TFB) beans...should be fun.
Today i talked to a close buddy and we came to the decision that a selective backcross to 1 or 2 Blockhead fem´s would be better than f2´s and so on - as this "runt" pheno came from the Venomberry99 cross .
