Thanks for posting Lubda. Lookin nice... Just prompted me to start my 5 seeds.

hell yeah!

Good luck Ring! I only popped 5 and got 3 females. All the females are beautiful, with two phenotypes. They are stinky and really starting to pack on the resin.

thats what I like to hear!

I would like to know how the sour purple tastes after a cure. I've heard good things about her.

me too, would love to get a smoke report...

thanks guys

Dan,

2 main phenotypes... though the final product on each plant had its own characteristics... to a degree of certainty I could pick out the pheno's in a mix bag of TCs by visual appearance combined with smell and taste

I like to pop at least 10 at a time, usually, unless I am running to many strains at once... but yeah there are a few nice phenos, each one actually, and one (that I have found so far at least) that is REALLY special... running ten could make it hard to decide on which one you want to keep... but I consider that a good problem to have :D

they are all super stable for trich & resin production, also for the basic terp profile (lime dominant smells, some more TW influenced and some more SB/Kush influenced but all pleasant and somewhat unique compared to other strains)... every female I have seen from myself and others have been potential keepers depending on your personal taste. the effects are all strong but some can be more Indica or Sativa influenced in their highs.

I have only seen two main female growth patterns both vigorous and decently branched with medium length between internodes, one slightly taller with larger more sativa shaped leaves and one a bit shorter with a more SB looking leaf pattern... the one trait that does vary a bit is bud structure... its not something I selected for so they kinda do what they do in that regard.

some of the buds are small hard kush nugs others look more like TW or haze influenced buds... all of them have a hard thick layer of resin that keep even the looser TW or haze like buds from being fluffy... even though they appear a bit airy...




^^ so though they look a bit loose and airy... they are every bit as hard unless you really try and squeeze the shit out of them

thanks for the interest and support everyone, it is really appreciated!

Here are a few SP shots in natural light from today. The whole tent reeks of funky grapey goodness.

Funkin' A! that looks and sounds amazing

*grape smells- check
*good structure- check
*good flower to leaf ratio- check
*purple coloring- check
*heavy resin- check (it looks like I can see resin even on the biggest of the fan leaves!)

thanks again for sharing those with us Lubda the plant looks awesome and the pictures are great!

I wonder how good it will look around day 70 or so, I bet the purple colors will really be coming out by then.

Lookin' delicious Lubda. You did a good job with these Infinit...I wish I got more than one pack now after seeing this play out.

I'd eat a nugget right off the vine that stuff looks so good.

Nice structure too...How long did you veg Lubda and what's your lighting/setup? Sorry if it's mentioned in here, i'm headed out right now and didn't search.

yea I'd like to know a little more about that too...

also Lubda,
how are the other Phenos turning out... they looked to be stacking some seriously large spear shaped colas last I remember seeing!?

it would be cool if you could post a few pics of those here as well.

I vegged them around six weeks. I was going to top them, but was too busy at the time. I'm running a 400w air cooled hood in 4x4 tent. They are grown organically in a super soil mixture. Two of them are in 7gallon pots and the third is in a 4 gallon pot. Day time temps. have been in the low 70's with night time temps. dipping into the 50's.

I'll try to get some pics up later this week. The second pheno will have the largest yield. The third is very similar to the first pheno, but has stayed smaller due to being in a smaller pot. It has tossed a few nanners, I think because its root bound.

Here are some shots of pheno#2 from today. This looks like it will have the largest yield.

incredibly healthy and good looking plants... great job on growing these!

I hope you kept some back up cuttings and spread them around to your friends!

if you don't mind me asking.... when you rub the sugar leaves... do they all smell the same/grape funkiness or is there some variation?

A couple pictures from today. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to pull them out of the tent. You can see the calyx's are swelling nicely. They all have different amounts of grape scent when you rub the sugar leaves, #2 has a bit more funk mixed in with the grape.

I'll probably chop next week and get some better shots then. Here are a couple more for the time being.
