You were lucky to get a lb per plant. Average yield per plant was @ 13 oz. One of our gripes was that the rain would wash off the crystals. It smoked o.k. Not great by todays standards. If by some act of God we had a sunny two weeks before harvest it was quite tasty. Plant was a dark green and dried to almost black.

The gentleman that gave us the seeds told us he brought them back from Vietnam. He bragged that this was the stuff Thai sticks were made from. May or may not be true. I don't know I was very drunk at the time.

Soil in the rainforest is a red clay mud. Junk acidic soil. Our hardest job was moving the strain from the wet side of the island to the dry side. Had big problems. We had to cross it with a Bloodweed strain and that did the trick.

I have a grow log going this year. Every strain I have will be in there. I am now legal so I can document a full year grow. If you are intersted check it out and fire any questions you have at me there.
Can you post the link I would love to see hoe that strawberry guava grows:rastasmoke:
