Well i have cut down all of these plants, and after a short period of depression i will now do my final post. Everyone of these plants ended up with seeds. I got away with 3 plants that hadn't yet seeded as they were taken a little earlier, they were finished though, having a large percentage of milky trichs.. The 3 i saved were the Ak, the Critical Jack and one of my Snowstorms. First off, the Ak.. while it did seem to have a problem keeping leaves on it, it still finished with a fairly strong fruity kind of smell. The high is quite enjoyable, since my leaves were fucked up i know the buds didnt fill out nearly as much as they could have, and im sure the potentcy isnt as good as it can be, yet with that said, i still get a very nice high and one thing i really like is it actually lasts for awhile. After 2 hours i still had no need to smoke anymore and still had a strong high happening, something i very much appreciate in a strain, as having a high tolerance to pot in general i find with a lot of strains after an hour im just not high anymore. Moving on to the Critical Jack, this plant grew the tallest, about 3 feet. Had the thickest orange hairs i have ever seen, thick as a pencil lead and distinctive orange colors. Had problems with leaves on this plant as well, the buds aren't all that special, very mild smell and taste, sort of a mild taste of oranges.. Not very impressed, but once again with the problems i had this this plants im sure it isnt near as good as it probably can be. Now the snowstorm... I had such high hopes for this plant, as it had some amazing smells happening. Two distinct pheno's. One being shorter and more of a dense central cola, with a christmas tree look and super hard nuggs.. The smell on the shorter pheno was candy sweet with an odd funk in the backround, almost an afghi or skunk kind of funk you can sort of smell in the backround. The other pheno grew taller with lopts of branches, had one plants almost reach 3 feet. The smell on this pheno was amazing, it had the funk for sure. Each plants varied slightly in the funk, the tallest plant had the funk so deep it almost smelled of keroseen.. The one snowstorm i saved with no seeds was the shorter pheno, although i did keep one seeded plant, the tallest funkiest smelling one, had the odd seed in the bud but i had to keep some anyway, even though i hate having seeds in my buds.. The rest of the plants i chooped and gave to someone to make hash with, and split whatever we get from it. The un-seeded short pheno of snowstorm i have had jarred up for a couple weeks now and it smells very nice in the jar, the buds are very crystal coated and hard as rocks. The Ak also smells very nice in the jar, and for being fucked up somewhat it still gave off some pretty powerful daytime smoke that lasts for a couple hours atleast. The Pandora were still a little ways away from being finished, but were full of seeds already so i just chopped em. Looked to have 2 pheno's as well, one of them being some of the most redhair covered weed ive ever seen in my life. pretty cool looking stuff, sadly i never got to smoke any, maybe ill try some of the stuff i gave to my friend to make hash with, it should be all dried now and some of it was almost finished, so maybe ill grab a couple of those buds just to try it... Anyway, i have read that auto's are quite sensative, so im guessing some of the minor stresses i may have given my plants caused them to hermi.. Anyway, i grabbed 4 clones from a friend, 2 lemon skunk and 2 black domina, i stuck them outside on my patio about a week ago, ive seen the lemon skunk grown twice now and it is a fairly pleasant high thats long lasting with a very nice and strong lemon smell, and the domina, well ive heard good things about it and am dying to finally see it grown.. Anyways i would say my final judgement on auto's is that i will probably not be growing them again for awhile... I will say that the snowstorm and Ak were both worth growing if you have a good setup with zero stresses... Anyways, i might start a new diary with me new outside grow i got going now, just started taking some pics to document the growth of the new stuff... btw.. i put 3 auto's outdoors a couple months ago, they were sicklu stunted things i didnt want to bother using in my room.. 2 of them didnt go into bud as they were left in small cups way too long, one of them did go into bud, but put out some mutated looking bud that doesnt even look like marijuana, yet it has crystals on it and smells like pot.. ;) One thing i notice though, these 3 plants have been outdoors for 2 months now, i havenmt watered them once or done a thing to take care of them, yet as far as health goes, they are doing fine. Leaves are lush green and plants are doing fine, all i did was dig small holes, throw a little of my indoor medium into the holes with my usual mix and thats it, just left them alone and they are still green and healthy. Something to be said for the great outdoors...
