When you say the sensi star is the best plant you've grown, what others have you tried?

All the plants look great

Welcome to the forum! That is a fair question and one I have no problem being honest about. I have only grown a handful of different strains. I have never grown autos or feminized seeds so my experience with variety is very limited. I like the Sensi Star not because it is the best smoke on the planet, not because it is the highest yielding strain, not because it is the easiest strain to grow, but because when you take into account all of the above it is one of the best in my opinion. I could grow a strain that is 10 on quality and a 2 on yield. I could grow a strain that is 10 on yield and 2 on quality, etc etc etc.....The reason I like the Sensi Star is because of everything about it combined. Relatively easy to grow, high yield and good smoke. In other words I would rate it an 8-8-8 on all three. But as I said I have only grown a handful of strains. I have been growing Sensi Star for a few years so I have learned how to dial it in but who knows. Maybe a year from now I will have found strains that are much better than the Sensi Star and it ends up getting kicked to the curb. The best thing about strain selection is that no one can tell you that you are wrong. You like what you like and to each his own.

DEAR LORD!

I had a couple repairmen in my home today fixing something and they were here for about 6 hours. My plants were supposed to be flowering under the lights while the guys were here but right before they came I shut the lights, fans, and everything down and closed up the closet (and I placed a few strategic air freshners around the house). When they left I opened the closet door to turn everything back on and I was hit in the face with a smell that would make you sick (unless you know how good weed smells, in that case it might make your mouth water like mine). I opened the closet door and was hit in the face with a smell that can only be described as a dead skunk rolled in pine needles and rotting fruit. Amazing and sickening at the same time. If I smelled what I smelled and didn't know it was coming from the sexy ladies in the closet I would be gagging and wondering what had died in my closet

Oh man I was all over it I had every door and window in the house open. I walked around the entire house smoking a cigarette just to get the tobacco smell everywhere before they arrived. The funny thing is by the time the repairmen left I was pretty sure they partake as well by their converstaion, though I would not ever say anything to someone in my house about the fact I have growing plants less than 30 feet from them. I think the reason the smell was so overpowering when I opened the door back up was because there was zero air movement with everything shut up and then when I opened the door it all came rushing out right in my face. Since the start of flower my inline fan and other fans had never once been shut down. The smell built up FAST.

I just realized there is no bud porn on this page of the journal, I'm sorry.
Here it is

Sensi Stars @ Day #40 of flower, 16-18 days to go:


Here is the good NYC Diesel pheno. In case you have a good eye and can see my thumbnail and you are wondering why it looks purple near the cuticle, it is because I slammed it in a car door two days ago. I ended up looking like Chevy Chase in Caddyshack after he slams his fingers in Rodney Dangerfield's car door and he stomps around screaming, "NO! I DID NOT DO THAT.....I DID NOT DO THAT!"

 

[Gixxerman420]

Looking delicious as usual Sensi! Hit me up if you run out of room and need someone to take one of those monster buds off your hands!

Edit: Had to add... DAMN IT MAN!!! Wish I had some nuggets instead of this street bag o' schwagg... It's not that bad, and actually has a pretty nice "grinny" buzz, but it's nothing like a good strong indica homegrown for pain!

 

[SensiStarFan]

Thanks Gixxer, the girls should be roughly two weeks from harvest tomorrow. I have to work a double tomorrow but will try and get some pics up. Hope everyone has some fun plans for the weekend!

SSF, you really have the SS's dialed in bro. After your discription a couple posts back, I'm really considering ordering some of these beans and making them a permanent member of my house hold. Awesome job man, i cant wait for the harvest pics.

Thanks AM! I love it, and I encourage everyone to try it. But I think different people like different things so I am not bothered when someone says they do not like it. People have different tastes. Some people prefer white wine, and some people prefer that crap called red wine, I can't help it if they have no taste just kidding, but you get my point

Good eye dude, but I think it's a nanner!!! Sense, are you getting this, are there nanners in your garden bro?

 

[AluminumMonster]

I talked to the Mrs. about a bean order and she agreed to let me get a pack of the SS's and a pack of rocksters cheese! The fall grow is gunna be a good one, i can just feel it!

 

[SensiStarFan]

Good eye fruity86 and Gixxer. I don't think it is a male flower or a seed though. I'm pretty sure it is just a new calyx that has come up late, probably from the fluctuating grow nutes that I messed up a little bit. It has fresh pistils shooting out of it and since it is new no trichs have grown on it yet and it stands out from the rest of the calyxes.

I did paint some pollen on one of the buds of this same plant, but that was weeks ago and the seeds are all busting out at this point. There are no seeds growing anywhere on this plant that I can see other than on this one other bud I painted with a Q-tip:


Here are some more shots of what I am pretty sure is a late showing calyx that does look a lot like a male preflower:

stay tuned....

 

[SensiStarFan]

Ok we are down to the home stretch, roughly two weeks to go!

Here is the less attractive NYC Diesel pheno. It has come to look a lot better then it did a couple weeks ago but I still do not see nearly the same trichome production as on the better NYC Diesel pheno, today is Day # 56 of flower:


And here is the better looking NYC Diesel pheno with much more dense, sugar coated buds @ Day 56 of flower:


Give me a few minutes and I will get the rest of the pics up, I can only do 12 in one post.

Here are the Sensi Stars @ Day #42 of flower. Other than the little burn they got a while back from being fed too much they haven't been giving me any problems:


And I saved the worst for last. The LA Ultra with supposedly two weeks to go but is looking like it will need a lot more time. I am very unhappy with this strain but to be fair this is the only female seed I had so perhaps I just got a bad pheno Anyway here she is @ Day #42 of flower:


Have a great weekend everybody!

As always, questions/comments/ideas/criticisms, jump right in

It make me feel sad and sick seeing all this nice shoots of bud porn ... My weed is ended and a long road in the way for me until more :doh: .

 

[420_Osborn]

Looks like a male preflower to me...But time will tell!
