Whichever it is, it's special!
Here's how they're looking this week. I will be uppotting today after I get some more of that handy green gardener's bondage tape from Lowe's this morning. Then into flower by September!
#1:
Look at them hefty lower branches!

I got the pics for #3-5 all mixed up and I can't tell them apart. Here's #6, 'Mittens', aka the Runt:

Lol read my mind, mrtonygreen! I put them all into flower yesterday at 7 a.m.
I was gonna take pics tonight but didn't get done with other chores until after 7 p.m.
They are big and beautiful! They got their first watering since transplant. I started topping some of the clones tonight, they were getting tall! My buddy's got my loupe, so I haven't examned them really closely for sex yet, but I'm pretty sure #1 is a big beefy gorilla male.

good move tying em down. 30 days of stretch give or take a few. Smokin some blue skyscraper now, we'll share notes when yer done.
Well I finally got my loupe back and did some looking...looks like three boys! #1 is a beefy lanky dude, smells minty. I didn't pot him up because I was pretty sure he'd grow balls. The thickest, fastest growing of the six.

Blue Skyscraper #2 is lookin' pretty male as well. He's got a more compact structure. The missus says he smells like sour garbage.

And the runt of the litter, #6, also looking like a boy. I think he's the stinkier of the three, but I'll have to refresh my memory.
I didn't up pot him either.

So now I need to figure out what to do with the guys. I would like to harvest some pollen from one or two but I'm not sure how to do it without mixing them up, etc.
I am kind of thinking about putting them outside. The day is about 13 hours right now, but I could throw them in the shed at night. Then I could bring one into the kitchen (or a branch or two in a glass of water) and flower it in the window, harvest there, and keep the other one outside and harvest pollen out there...IDK.
I know tony picked a short one like #6 as a pollen donor. I am favoring #2 also.
Here's the tentative girls. I'm not sure which is #4 or 5 right now. The little plastic labels must've slipped down in between the pot and the dirt! I'll find 'em though. I know which one is #3 So here's some shots. They're all pretty uniform, with a bushier one possibly.

Looking good! So remind me what is the smell you are looking for in this strain? That male #1 looks nice and is the mint smell good?
From what I have seen most all have a strong "chem" smelling base. They usually give a pretty strong pungent smell on stem rub. This can vary so far from sweet to cat pissy or sour.
From what Ive seen the trich production is strong and the buds are gummy and stinky.
Positive vibes for your ladies!

I think that there is a vanilla-flavored pheno, but I guess it's mostly an exercise in smelling observation, growbig. My gf doesn't smoke but she enjoys helping me identify smells and whatnot. Tonight she described a plant as 'vomit smell'. I can't wait to see how that one smokes, lol!
And I'm on the lookout for good male to have in the stable. It seems that the breeders are always talking up their stinky males!

Yes I think they all have that base except #1, a male. I think that's the one the gf describes as 'garbage' or 'sour garbage'. To me it's a strong resiny type odor.
I checked them all out tonight. We had a nasty thunderstorm last night and then one again today. When I got home the power was out, and came back on in about 90 minutes. I got my timers back on track and checked sex and smells with the gf.
I like the runt but it may be a girl!
Thanks for the vibes, they are doing fantastic! Nice work, my friend!

Here's a few more from yesterday. I really like the organic soil mix with these. I've just given them water so far, but I've been foliar feeding them with EWC leachate and liquid seaweed a couple times a week. I'll probably give them some homemade calcium supplement the next watering or two.

These have to be the most vigorous plants I've grown from seed, dude! They are just bursting with vitality!Them some happy girls.
