"We took this Trip to Garden Grove"

[JL2G]

One of the HS was looking really close to being done, so had to cut a spot and scope myself a budlet just to see. ???

Not quite there yet, by next weekend she will be though. M mmm, fatten up for me ladies.

Wow she smells so dang good. I get a sweet candy Carmel type smell, my GF gets a spearmint sweet kind of smell from the same bud. Lol.

Super fat calyxes, almost looks like she's knocked up in some spots. Which is very possible, had a couple boys I took pollen from, and shit goes everywhere. Lol

Mmmmm, so anxious for an early smoke test in a few days. ???

 

[JL2G]

Few more flower room pics, been a minute. Lol.
That front HS just never bounced back, but her issues stopped progressing, so hopefully I'll at least get some decent smoke off of her for a taste test.

SCJ day 53, she gets hit full force with the fan, and it shows on her leaves. lol. Getting fatter by the day, gonna be a bit yet for the chop though imho.

HS #1 the stinky girl day 53. She's getting some really cool colors going on with her fade out, really love the pinks and reds coming on.

HS #3 day 53. The frostiest of the group, and looks to be the fastest finisher of them. She could be taken today if I wanted to, all milky, but very few amber atm. I'll let her go a bit longer yet. Scope her again in a few days after I sample that budlet. lol.

This is one of the HS #3 buds kinda looks like I got some pollen on her, theres a few spots where it looks like I knocked her up. lol.

Close up of the SCJ bud, she's really thick and greasy feeling. Branches feel quite chonky.

HS #1 not as frosty as her sister, but holy wow on the smells she's got going on. Such a totally different expression from her.

HS #1. Lights/bad camera kinda wash out the colors she's getting, but there's lots of reds, pinks, and almost purple hues going on with her leaves.

HS #1 again.

Vanilla Gorilla, she's so super green, and has these giant puffball budlets growing on. She's looking like she'll be a big fat yeilder for me. As good as she looks so far it makes me kinda disappointed that none of her clones took off. Kinda, but not really, lol. Have plenty of beans that I need to get popping anyways. lol.


Got all three of the vegging HS plants up potted last night, and a fourth one of the stinky girl #1. Get them rooted out in those pots for a bit to be ready to flip when these others get the chop. The next runs of them will be for seedmaking primarily, and to give #4 a chance to show herself since I fucked her off this go round. Put her into a 15 gal from the start this time, that oughta make her happy. Put the others in 3 gals, and trimmed them way back so as to not be monsters. lol.
Kept a couple of other clones of each of the HS's in their little pots for now til I see who is gonna be a new momma I keep around. I'll know who thats gonna be in a few weeks to a month from now. lol.

 

[GthaEnigma]

Wow those are gorgeous man! they look quite juicy for extracting.

 

[DopeDaniel]

You good bro?

 

[JL2G]

You good bro?

Ha, yep all good, good lookin out.
Had to take a break for a bit. Life and all kinda took over. Lol.
Been busy here though, the good kind.
Chopped the Honey Sundae's a week or so ago, and omg I love them. Took more clones of all 3, and flipped 4 more clones of them to flower out, and be pollinated this time.
Ill have some smoking samples for you shortly, just about ready to jar up.

My two favorites are still competing for who's the better of the two.
3 is frostier, and has a spacey narcotic like high. Very tasty, and daydreamy. Took about 1.5 hrs to trim down, very leafy. The leafy is frosty though. Lol. Heavy yielder, solid and dense.
Tastes and smells like a blueberry grape candy, and is just so divine.

1 is less frosty, but kicks some serious ass. Vision bending head high that hits hard and fast. Fuelly citrus candy smells n taste. Very easy trim, took 15 minutes, but only half the yield of #3.

4 was a failure mid flower, she finished, but wasn't really worth it. Lol. She stalled and never matured properly.
She's got another chance this go round, in a big girl pot this time. Lol.
Trimmed all of em up really nice, got the bottoms all cleaned up.
Two of #1 on left, one #3 middle back, and one #4 front right. All flipped today.
Vanilla Gorilla back right about to be done, another week maybe.

 

[JL2G]

Took down the SCJ today as well, she's so friggin chunky. Lol. Heavy ass buds, all thick n shit. Still smells like chicken dinner with an orange zest behind it. Very quick and easy trim.


Clones of stuff, all the HS's, and a few Tomohawks.

Moms in the veg room, a couple don't look so happy with me. They get what they get, and need to stop crying around. Lol.
New mom's coming for replacement.
Couple Tomohawks, a BBB, all three Honey Sundaes, the HS male, and my Jenny Chem.

 

[DopeDaniel]

Man, I would have to say that HS has konked out on me midstream more than once. Part of why I let her go from the stable, another is the leafyness, I'll take a loss on yield if it saves me 2hrs trim time. The one thing that this 3x3 bed has driven home for me this round is - Big pots save lives! (Specially when your own is getting in the way lol)


Left - Assey McGee 2.5 gal
Right - Assey McGee 3x3
@Dino Party

They have the same structure and nose (sour milk and strawberries) but the blumat and unrestricted root growth was just eye opening.

You're doin' better with the ak47 x vg than I did this round, she got smothered by her bedmate AMG lol.

 

[Dino Party]

Man blumats sound awesome but I know I would cause them to have some kind of a disaster! Too scary lol. Better just keep forgetting to water at times. Looking good in there! They are working for you

I had a couple "runaways" and probably wouldn't recommend small pots or connecting to a permanent water supply without some sort of emergency shut off.

Edit - really lookinf forward to tryin the amg, the chocolate fire cookies is leafy and I haven't done them justice.

Not gonna lie, at this point all I remember about that one was lime/tennis balls/baking cocoa and that it was pretty easy to trim up lol. That was just an S1 reproduction I did of some stock Useful sent me a few years back. So really its his stuff, that I just made more of and passed around.

 

[JL2G]

New clones of each Honey Sundae have rooted. Yay for roots. ❤❤❤
Now to up pot them, and get the old mommas into flowering soon.
HS #1, #3, and the SCJ after chop and ready for the cure buckets pics. All smokeable now.

#1, light citrus fuelly cleaner smells, with a sweet yet sharp bite. Extreme cottonmouth from this one, the kind that makes your teeth stick to your lips. Lol.
Vision kinda swims funny like when I hit this one, and a nice high settles in behind the eyes. Really like the ones hit me like that.

#3 full of sweet candy vanilla funk. Very sweet and smooth candy taste & smell. Has the same vision swimmy high, but a bit more spacieness to it. Very relaxing imho.

SCJ with her fat ass potent buds. Stayed mandarin chicken dinner smells, with some other strong funk behind it I can't pin down. Super sticky, stinky fat buds.
Very unfortunately this is one that doesn't do it for me in the smell n taste dept. I couldn't finish either of my tester bowls, got some of the gag reflex from the samplers. Lol.
Just did not do it for me. ???
My buddy he was like "damn, I like this", and I was like "bro the tops are all yours, and the rest gets hashed." ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

AK Vanilla Gorilla coming down asap, her sampler was an amazing little nugget of happiness.
No pics atm, but the smoke report says hot damn, and I wish I'd have taken clones. Lmfao and dammit. ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️
@SSGrower you still got cuts of that one? Otherwise I'll try a reveg on her, she's a tasty one, and a nice focused high with it.

 

[OldG]

I am leaning to blumats on a gravity feed...Black Swallow up here makes them in 4 plant kits by planter size...and they make one for 10 to 15s and one for 20 to 30s.

gravity feed in a flood and drain tray...well worst case scenario it dumps in the tray. Autopots burned me more than once without a tray

Very nice dude, I can’t say anymore.

Thanks mang, it's a helluva lotta fun growing them, and priceless when the gems are found.

Sorry, you'll have to try the reveg on that one.

I find it wierd how IMO the smell on SCJ doesn't translate to the flavor, like plastic neem, if it wasn't so bad I'd go back for more description. I can bring back the leftover testers for your buddy.

Might as well throw em in your hash bucket makings. That's what I'll do with the rest. There's plenty for all. Lol
Be chopping her maybe today if time permits, going for the reveg it is. Wish me luck. Lol.

Rooted clones up potted last night, next to up pot the old mom's for flowering.
Then finally some new seed stock going to see soil. Yay for new adventures. Lol

 

[DopeDaniel]

That bucket us gettin full lol. Hopefully some of that handfull I grabbed had some of the less seeded HS in it, but honestly unless it or no. 1 just blows you away I'd keep with no. 3. Terps seem a match for No. 4, unless you have to prune during veg cause super tight nodes it's growth habit was better to my eye.

Wish me luck. Lol.

Everything I handed you was hot smoke IMO even the TTLT cut that I forgot that was the one you actually wanted lol. It threw some late nanners and I got another vial of the original beans to hunt. Based on what I found with the latest model to make it through flower I think there is plenty of joy to be found in that vial.

No 1 does have a very wonderful high to it, really love how it hits. To my palate its a very creamy sweet taste, with some fuel behind it.
Still some flavors I can't pick out.
Smoke analysis will continue. ???

I'd keep with no. 3.

A def keeper, she's tasty, like a sweet dessert for after dinner. Like a bag of candy so yummy smelling, and loud. Stinks up my truck in a jar in a bag. Not an incognito smoke.

Terps seem a match for No. 4, unless you have to prune during veg cause super tight nodes it's growth habit was better to my eye.

Fuck it, 3 new mom's for the library. Lol
Really happy with them all. And they grow so slow, root so well, and are happy with just hanging out in veg.
I'll smoke my way to a final decision some day.

Have you had a chance to get some good smoke on those samplers? Curious on yer thoughts.

Have rooted clones coming up of all 3 if you want any to run. In peat pods atm.

Well when you get back to that hunt cut me a few snips of some choice ladies if you would please. ??? ???
Same for anything you see me popping coming up. Just holler.

 

[JL2G]

Flower room shot this am.
Vanilla Gorilla in the back right needs a chop, shes ready to come down asap.
Found two seeds in the sample branch I took a week ago. Happy for that as I have no stock of her, and she's a helluva good smoke. Happy accident imho.
SCJ or HS daddy??? Lol

All HS 1, 3, and 4 going for phase two with a seed run.
I'll do a fair bit for seed, but try and keep a good amount of sinsemilla off of them too. They got bigger than I meant them too, so I'll just hit a few outer branches. Getting pretty close to that time. Another week maybe to dust em.

Selecting and planting new seed tonight.
My final selections, and quantity of them always change so I'm not even gonna try to say atm. Lol. ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️
So many on the top of the list. How the F does that work? No 123 order, I wanna see em all growing now dammit.
14 new beans sounds like a good number to go with. Well, maybe 20, I dunno yet. ???
Smoke and ponder for now. ???
Wow, after reading my own ramble I see I'm pretty ripped already.
And lovin it. Lol.

 

[DopeDaniel]

Have you had a chance to get some good smoke on those samplers? Curious on yer thoughts.

Working on No. 1 today, it has a lime front to it and a woody aromatic cedar undertone imo. Similar to the Neville's Haze I gave you but lime instead of orange. The sweet candy is there too but not like it is on No. 3 and 4.

High feels more energetic than No. 3, No. 4 was a good nightime/naptime med for me.
