Contra D - Chem D x C4DD - Info and grow-along.

Sounds good and looks great ! , certainly sounds like the terp profile will be different from my pheno too... and you are right it looks like it might flower for longer..

Contra D: smells so fetid like death
having trouble getting her cuttings to root sigh.

 

[VerdantGreen]

wow, that is quite a plant and the top cola is impressive... with still a way to go by the looks of it.

Sub24ox7 8 weeks yesterday ?

 

[Sub24ox7]

VerdantGreen i believe it’s been 57 days today so yes.
and it was on 11 on 13 off in that room.
i having successfully taken clones via aero cloner with sooo many varieties but this one will not root. Will possibly try a reveg and cut back the rootball after harvest.

yes that might work, i did that with one of my contra girls that i kept.. certainly cutting back the rootball helps, and it looks like there is some green foliage down at the base too.
really interesting looking plant..

Contra D
I think it’s been 67 days

 

[VerdantGreen]

looks so exotic ! is that 67 days from it showing sex or 12/12? . some of its look reminds me of tropical sats or haze... that 'silvery' look, the calyx/bud structure and it kind of looks like it will keep on growing forever, you might need to starve it ripe lol.
and i love that little curly chem leaf right near the top of the cola !

[Sub24ox7]

Yea I’m not going to feed anymore. I agree this should help to try and get it to finish up. It was already sexed but is a seed plant and I think it’s been 68 days since I threw it in a room that is 11/13.

 

[VerdantGreen]

interesting Sub24ox7 , i found the contras were pretty quick to show sex, and before i'd put them in 12/12 too... that doesn't normally happen for me.
and yes i'd forgotten about th 11/13 ! that would strengthen the flowering response so this really is quite a long flowering pheno...

76 days contra-d

 

[Sub24ox7]

This didn’t last long in the jar. Something very inviting about the smell, pine stink and tastes of pine. Good hybrid stone.

 

[VerdantGreen]

That's Good to hear Sub24ox7 - i found the same... Piney, mine smelt of solvents too, and VERY moreish. I have quite a few jars of good stuff but when the Contra D is full i reach for that quite often !

i ran a couple of the Contra D (same clones as the test grow) in 25 litre pots - full grow here:

Diary - The Further Adventures of Mr VerdantGreen

Hi all, I've just built a new cab! Been planning it for ages but getting it made and running has taken a while due to life/family/time etc. By my standards this cab is quite big... internal dimensions are 80cm x 80cm and 120cm high. I didn't want the door to be the full width af the front...

they actually looked a bit hungry in early flower - vigor caught me by surprise - but still looked damned decent at the end:
Pics from about 7 weeks

Hi all, ive sent some packs of the Contra D to seedbay/boutique/real gorilla. Previously only available as part of the Chem Kits
These may be the only batch of packs that gets sent in before i take this to F2, so if you want them, get them

 

[VerdantGreen]

Hi folks, here is my Contra D no2 clone at 5 weeks.

 

[Wotcha]

A tent full of 14 Contra D (front 3 rows) and 9 C4DD4 (back 2 rows) at 23 days from seed. Will log the full grow a bit more thoroughly when I've got some time. Looking forward to these!

 

[VerdantGreen]

wow @Wotcha ! can't wait to see what you get with all those, and i've got to pop some contra to make F2s soon so it will give me some useful pointers.

[VerdantGreen]

for anyone interested, @Wotcha is running a grow thread over at OG for his Contra D and C4DD4 grow - check it out !

out of 20 Contra D he got 5 small runty li'l D plants and 15 Big D plants ! exactly 25/75% !
( which supports my idea that the 'stunted' genes from the Chem D have segregated into the 25% and are not present in the 75% )

 

[Wotcha]

Just throwing up a quick picture of my half tent of Contra D at approx 3 weeks flower.
