Number 3
She is really starting to come into her own. While not growing quite as much as the others in size, she is putting it on where it counts. She easily has the most flower sites of the lot, and they are the largest and most developed, so I am thinking she may come down first. Also very happy to report she now has a distinct smell, which is pretty much just pure mint chocolate. What a coincidence, just the type of pheno I was hoping to find. Lets hope this develops into full blown cookies goodness!




Number 4
This is the oddball of the group without a doubt. After nearly dying and getting stunted, she is now the tallest in the garden, and with no sign of slowing down. She has grown over 1" every day for the past 5 days, and with barely a flower showing. Not much smell yet, but branches are getting very large and she looks like she could be a good yielder. Hoping she doesn't take as long as she looks like she will...




Hah, what cage...


Quick question for anyone who happens to read this thread and is familiar with these genetics. Does anyone know where this extreme sativa pheno is coming from? I've grown several chems and og's and even cookies hybrids and never seen anything that looked like this. Any and all input is appreciated!

[Highcountry]

Your plants look great! Happy and healthy. Thanks for sharing!

Number 5
She is really filling in. Very indica looking. Not a lot of smell yet, but very nice branching and short inter node spacing lead me to believe she will be very dense. I hope it stays dry here so that mold isn't a problem.




Number 6
Still loving this plant. I think she is officially wider than she is tall now. Nice even canopy and tons of bud sites. Also smell is very nice. Pure lemon with a touch of sweet. Cannot wait to see what this develops in to.





Number 7
Here's someone we haven't seen in a while. He was the original male chosen to make f2's. He is very indica leaning, kinda sour chem smell. It is also important to note that all of his stalks and stems are deep maroon/purple. He is the only plant in the lot with this coloration, and while others show a bit of purple, he is SOLID purple. This is a very nice contrast to the extreme sativa male I am also keeping. Will give me lots of variation in the offspring should I choose to grow them again (methinks I may...)


That's it for now. I hope there is someone out there watching this thread, it is starting to get a little lonely. Wondering if any of the other testers of these beans got any going. I sure would like to see and hear about other peoples experiences with these strains.

Take care

Howdy y'all. Been meaning to post some more pics but work has been quite busy lately, and I always seem to get out to the garden right when the light is no good for pics. So this last weekend I snapped a bunch while I had a spare hour.

Things are really kicking into gear. They are full on blooming, really starting to stack flowers and stink up the neighborhood.

I am falling in love with the smells coming off these ladies. Simply delicious. Smells ranging from lemon candy, margarita, and pineapple, to hot garbage and chocolate chip cookies. Each plant has a very unique and wonderful terpene profile, with the exception of Number 5, who is just not releasing any aromatics so far. Guess they can't ALL be winners...

Also to be noted, that the resin production on these ladies is top notch. They started packing it on in week 2 and just won't quit. Number 6 is taking it a little too far. In just under 4 weeks, she has as much resin as some of my strains finish with. Some of the buds are seriously caked with sugar, spilling out onto the fan leaves in true cookies fashion.

Anyway, here are some pics for you guys to enjoy (all 2 of you lol)

Number 1
This lady is really working it. She is forming many many bud sites of average size, and good resin production. She finally stopped growing about 6" from the screen above her. The smell coming off her is downright offensive. Hot garbage combined with rotten lime, makes me take a step back when I sniff. This is going to be a crowd pleaser for sure. Looks like she will take around ~60 days to finish (Plants here finish faster outdoors as our light cycle isn't quite 12/12, more like 11.5/12.5 at the moment)



Wish y'all had Smell-O-Vision for this one...



Number 3
This lady is also getting right to it. Very similar to Number 1 in most ways except smell, which is polar opposite. Sweet, juicy margarita with a background of fresh baked chocolate cookies. Probably my favorite to just shove my face into. I am a lover of sweet fruity strains and this one tickles me. Seriously cannot wait to taste her. Production and flowering time look about the same as Number 1.



...and this one too

[Momerath]

Number 4
So I am starting to think that OJD dropped a different seed in this packet hahaha. This lady is unlike all the others in almost every way. Tall, skinny sativa with long running colas, high calyx to leaf ratio (so far) and almost 7' in height. She looks like she will have amazing production if she fills out, but also looks like she will take at least 1-2 weeks longer than any of the others. Her smell is straight PINEAPPLE. Nothing else. Just fresh juicy pineapple, YUM! One of my favorite fruits. Dare I say the perfect plant to grow in the tropics..?



Pineapples y'all...


...big pineapples


I am very stoked that I have a male counterpart of this phenotype. He is dropping pollen as we speak and she will be hit within a few days.

[Momerath]

Number 5
I have started calling her The Dud hahaha. She has no smell whatsoever, except maybe very faint grass. Everything else about her looks nice. Good bud size/amount, good resin, solid healthy plant. Just doesn't want to make any aromatics. I am very curious to see how she turns out in the end. If there is no smell by then, this may become a dedicated RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) plant. I like terpenes too much to cook them off during decarb.



No Smell-O-Vision necessary...



Number 6
I am indeed saving the best for last. If any plant has the chance of becoming a new champion in my collection, it is the Number 6. I love everything about her, in every way possible. Perfect growth patterns to make an even canopy, strong branches to hold the gigantic buds forming on them, and THE RESIN! Holy smokes is she off the hook in that department. Seriously sticky icky. And with the smell of pure lemon candy to boot. This one is def getting her Lemon Larry on. She looks like she will also be the first one down, maybe even 55 days if I am lucky. Also worth mentioning that of every plant cloned, she was the most vigorous. Even after one got accidentally ripped from the cloner and sat on the floor for a couple hours in early life, it bounced back and rooted. My preliminary keeper by a mile.
Also, she was the first to be pollinated by my Number 7 male (purple, indica dominant pheno). I checked the pollinated flowers yesterday and its looking like there will be beans a plenty.

Loving this canopy action!


Fat nugs


Did I mention the RESIN?



That's all for now folks. I am off to do some pollinating...Stay stoney my friends.

[barletta]

Mmmmmmm.... backwards light dep resin....

Good to see you got one that has you revv'd up! That #6 plant is chunky & hella frosty for 26 days.

[The Pheonix]

Very nice

[Momerath]

Thanks guys. Yes the #6 has me very stoked, and also nervous. She is very solid and still has around a month to go, which could prove disastrous should the weather turn nasty and rainy, leading to botrytis, and bringing out the caterpillars. I always lose a few buds to the caterpillars, but its 10 times worse when it rains regularly.

And barletta, lol at backwards light dep. Its taken some getting used to, as I grew for so long in california, now doing it in the tropics where it is always 12/12, it is pretty groovy. Now if something should go wrong, I do not lose a years worth of work, only a few months, and I can keep it on a perpetual 60 day cycle, which makes for nice fresh meds every 2 months.

[Momerath]

Howdy y'all!

Its been a busy past couple weeks and haven't had much of a chance for picture taking. Been dealing with stormy weather and battling the caterpillars. It would seem they are not as bad as they could be, so I am thankful for that. I have caught them going after my seeded branches but luckily have not lost many seeds to them. They, however, have been suffering heavy losses hehehe...

This has been a fun strain to grow, and I plan on doing another run of it before I choose my keeper mom. All 5 phenos are proving to be contenders in some regards, but the ultimate test will obviously be sampling and a lab test to get hard numbers. I am looking forward to both very much!

Also, it would seem that a good deal of the pollen took in all plants, so there will be seeds from all phenos added to my collection. It was also crossed with my strawberry cough I had going along side them. This is a strain I plan on playing with a bit more, as it has a lot of traits that I find appealing.

Here are some updates on the ladies...

Number 1
She is still the stinkiest plant by a mile. Serious chem and og notes, rotten citrus, garbage. Won't be the heaviest yielder, but should still weigh up nicely. Bud's are decent size for their branch, and will be easy to trim. Under microscope, they trichomes are still predominately clear, so she has a bit more time, but not much. Will probably come in around day 56 (remember, shorter bloom time in my neighborhood). This is one of the front runners for keeper pheno.






Number 3
This one has probably the most "appetizing" smell, if you will. Very bright and citrus-y and chemmy. This one has the smallest buds of all the phenos, but they are very dense so that is a plus. This is also one of the earlier finishing phenos. She is nearly ready at about 40% cloudy and 10% amber. Calyxs are very swollen and she is just getting riper by the day. Not the prettiest pheno but only time will tell how they stack up. Smells from this one are sure to be lovely during cure. Now that I am looking at her, she reminds me visually a bit of durban poison, only much denser buds...
