Sweet Tooth
2/15/2015
I had 3 Sweet Tooth girls, grown from seed, in my Northern California (West of Hwy 101) outdoor garden in 2014, and loved every bit of its performance, from germination to smoking! I like the strain so much that I kept a male in a separate, isolated location and used its pollen to seed a few buds on my Mendo Purps, Romulan Queen, Covelo Sour Diesel, Bubblegum females, as well as with a Sweet Tooth girl. I'm excited to see how they do in this year's garden! The Sweet Tooth girls reached an awe-inspiring 11' -12' in height, with a beautiful hybrid structure. They were relatively easy to grow, requiring one good clean out of its lower branches before the stretch, simple bracing during flowering to help support the weight of its huge colas (4-6, 10' tall bamboo stakes around each plant and green gardener's ribbon), and, as the buds ripen, some pruning of its nitrogen-deprived fan leaves, which give a beautiful display of red, purple and pinkish colors, reminiscent of a Vermont hillside in the fall! I expected harvest time to be around the 1st week of October, and to my great pleasure, they were ready to pick during the 1st and 2nd week of September. Each plant yielded around 700 grams of lovely golden-green buds with long, red hairs and were loaded with super sticky trichomes that, to me and many others that sampled my batch, smell exactly like Juicy Fruit gum! It tastes like it smells, and absolutely lives up to its name with its intensely sweet and smooth smoke. It's smoke produces a euphoric, soaring high that works well any time of the day or night! Lab testing revealed just over 21% THC and 1.3% CBD.This strain works great for stomach pain, cramping and nausea, as well as an appetite motivator. It may be my favorite strain from my garden last year, and I wouldn't mind having a garden full of these HUGE plants! A couple of puffs makes me feel inspired and creative and want to pick up a guitar immediately and strum it! Or, other times (Like right now!) a couple bong tokes will relax me as I read myself to sleep! ...G'night, y'all! I'll report on 2015's Sweet Tooth and the Sweet Tooth crosses after the fall!
