Well here she is, the shining star of a 10 pack of HOG seeds from THSeeds. She was a 6" seedling (8" before cloned) when put in to bud. She was leaning more towards the Kush side of her gene pool (HOG = Hindu Kush X Afghani). She took about 7-10 days to show her sex and finished in 60 days at a height of 18"-20", and yielded about 1 1/4 oz (dried)of stinky, pungent, funky smelling crystalized buds. The smell reminds me of smelly armpits mixed with really bad 3 day old garlic breath with a hint of ginger. Guess that's why it's called hogs breath.
For coming from under a 250w HPS I was quite impressed with the size of the buds and the yield. Next time will be under a 400w HPS.
Time for a smoke test... Took some fresh hits yesterday at 6am. 1st hit went down smooth but soon expanded. The taste was similar to the smell but much more enjoyable. The smell almost makes you turn your head but the taste has you licking your lips. I felt a hint of a buzz after the first hit so I took another. 2nd hit was much like the first but I took a bigger hit so it really choked me. Felt the buzz coming on strong so I quickly took a 3rd. I should have stoped at 2 but you know how it goes... Anyways the buzz is great! It starts off as a heady high and spacey and I had wonderful conversations with myself the entire ride to work, and found myself in a great mood for most of the day. The spacey feeling left after about 3 hours and was replaced with a slight couch-lock feeling. I wasn't sure if I wanted to take a nap or go eat tacos. The tacos won; lunch was GREAT!! The tacos were awesome, guacamole was fresh and the cervesas were cold. A fantastic way to end a wake-n-bake.
250w HPS 23" x 27" x 60" box Drip fed GH nutes. PH 5.8 - 6.2 Temps were high up to 100+ and a small case of thrips. Only 4 plants were flowered at 6", averaging about 1oz, dried.

The HOG is very pleasant and enjoyable to grow, harvest and smoke. This pheno is not exactly the armpit smelling HOG I have heard about, it appears to be a cross between the stinky pheno and the fruity pheno.
I recommend this pheno for its wonderful anti-bowel inflammatory properties. I have cr...continued
