| This was a great strain to grow. I'd ordered my seeds before seeing the reports from fellow growers here so I was a little nervous at first what with the descriptions of peanut butter taste and all, but I must have got a completely different batch of seeds.
I germinated the seeds directly in the soil, plain old MG potting soil, and had sprouts within 18-30hrs of planting. At a week or two I began a light feeding schedule of 30-10-10 Miracle Grow nutes, fed them 3-4 times in veg, soluble silica was used each time. Switched to 12/12 at approx. 30 days, after separating the 1 male from 3 seeds leaving me with two nice bushy, but tall, ladies.
I fed them a mixture of 15-30-15, and 18-18-21 MG nutes at varying times throughout flowering, perhaps 4-5 feeds, still using the silica. The flowering cycle lasted aprox. 58 days though they could have safely been left on the plant for another week or more. Currently re-vegged the lot and am 2+ weeks into flowering again. I harvest by trichome color, 40% milky, 30% amber, the rest clear-to-lightly milky. Before harvest I gave them a few days in the dark and cold, turned some of the buds and leaves a nice purple color and increased the final resin production. Had no real problems whatsoever the whole grow.
I was not impressed with the growth during the veg stage, seemed sluggish and I didn?t really approve of the growth pattern. I thought I got what I paid for, cheap beans. But it's the flowers that count, for me at least, and I was in for a surprise at the great flowering stage. Each plant had at least 5 large buds that turned into half oz buds after drying, with many more medium and small buds. They look spectacular in flower I can tell you. I wish I had more and better pics to show, but am lucky to have the ones I do, bought a better camera in the middle of the flowering so you can tell I was getting used to using it.
I waited until about day 20 of flower to screen them, it was a do it before it's too late thing at that point, the buds were just big enough to make squeezing them through the screen a pain in the butt. The yield was very good for the amount of time I'd taken with them.
Med users do enjoy the Haze Special, seems good for both body and head pain but can cause some emotional discomfort (paranoia, nervousness) when too much is smoked by the low to average smoker. Is a bit of a creeper so these accidental over-smokes happen.
Stone: you can tell it's Haze for sure, it's a creeper and takes about a half hour after smoking to fully kick in, longer sometimes. But you know it when it does. Keeps you stuck to the ground, great body and head feeling. The taste is extremely pleasant, making you continuously want to come back for more (think the breeders description may even say the same! if so I agree fully). Curing makes it that much better, after a month cure I was in heaven.
Overall I have to say that this was a pleasant surprise to grow and I am keeping this strain and breeding it with my ultra potent mother Widow as we speak.
The photos sometimes get rearranged or reversed when they put it up, found that out the last time I reported so I'll just tell you the youngest pic you see is 25days of 12/12 (should be able to see the pic title). Hope you enjoy, happy growing! ~WK~
