Yeah, #6 has been really good looking all along! She would’ve probably benefited from a longer veg though. Similar to #2 in structure, but much darker thinner leaves. Neither stretched much.
I must admit I am excited about #7 even though she doesn’t smell of blueberry. She was the most vigorous, looks as though she’ll yield the most and is very frosty. And I always appreciate plants that finish around 9 weeks. Hopefully potency is there.
I’ll take a stab at describing each now, from memory. I didn’t have much time last night to do much more than grab pics of #6. Tonight I will have time to look closer at all the girls. And see if my memory serves me well, or if they’ve changed since last sniffed.
#1 - Blueberry muffin/doughy. Early stem rubs had a sweeter muffin profile, which seems to now be missing. But blueberry muffin just the same.
#2 - A chemical blueberry smell. More sharp and kind of “artificial” blueberry smelling - if that makes sense. (Beautiful plant!)
#3 - Simply wonderful sweet candied blueberry smelling. Incredible stuff! No mistaking her terps as other than blueberry.
#4 - Burnt rubber.
#5 - Hmmm. More of a doughy/meat-like profile.
#6 - I said grape soda... kept trying to get my finger on something more descriptive last night when she was out for pics. Definitely a sweet nose, but I don’t get blueberry lingering in there. Maybe Skittles is a better description.
#7 - No blueberry or sweetness. More rubber/sour smelling.
#8 - Well, maybe blueberry... I was shocked at the smells coming from the branch I removed to harvest the seeds from. It was very fuel like - almost astringent but with a sweet backend. And I want to say blueberry was there but can’t be sure. Seemed to get whiffs of it moreso when removing fan leaves than from the calyxes. As of now, can just say it hits the nose hard but finishes soft. Makes me wonder about the flavor Alatrist spoke of coming more from this side...
For environmental reasons I have my carbon filter off. Along with these girls there's three WR x Pre-98 BK and one Lemon Cello flowering. Don't think anyone not familiar with cannabis would peg the smell as such. Very much smells of rotting meat in (and outside) the room.
#4, #5 & #8 have exhibited displeasure. No big deal with #8 being such an outlier. But I am not sure what happened with #4 & #5. Shortly after being put into flower #5 started to look like she does. I hoped she’d snap out of it and come around, but she never did. Since this is only my second run with no HID and these genetics can be sensitive I didn’t want to add anything to her. I have been using the same soil mix for nearly fifteen years, and usually will try to supplement when and where I see a need, but with extra girls (still can’t believe all 8 ended up girls) I continued to just give ‘em water. I am most upset at the turn #4 took. She was an early favorite, although a smaller slower plant. She is the funkiest smelling with that burnt rubber profile. I showed an early pic of her in flower and within a few days after she started going south. They all did great - happy and healthy - in veg. And given all other aspects are equal, it’s odd to see those two suffer. And considering their negative reactions happened once put into flower, I wonder if the lighting change contributed... I also happened to see an unidentified bug on a leaf one day. Next watering included hydrogen peroxide. Couple days later saw two on the wall and when I went to touch one to see if it would jump or fly or just how it would react, it fell to the ground dead. The other did the same when touched. Haven't seen one since.
I’ll get some pics of #1 up tonight or tomorrow, and some of #4 & #5 before the weekend is out. They’re not healthy and happy looking, at all.
But no big deal since I have about four more girls than I expected.

So that’s my dilemma now, I have no HID and really should test my light during the summer months. With these clones I could streamline things by not popping seeds... but with vacations and stuff around the corner and generally just being more on the go in summer, I am not sure yet what I am going to do. I did make a good number of seeds with six of the girls... maybe as I sample I will pick a favorite or two to test the light during summer. Just don’t want to have more than a few plants to tend to if I do. And since I didn’t make any seeds with WR x Pre-98, I may rerun those... Probably pick my two favorite to smoke - be it BDB and or WR x Pre-98 - and run a couple cuts of each.
