Looks like a great start @JustGrowing420 !
Can't wait to see these F2s grown out.

And the running average on dwarf plants in these F2s (including my seedlings) is just 4 from 39 so we are at about 1 in 10, or 10% - which is ok and i hope it doesn't go above that.

are the tooth- rot/ skunk- ass/ sweaty b.o. smells still prevalent in these (what i think notsodog calls the "garbage terps" and i guess i do smell a dumpster smell in those kinds of terps/ thiols i guess)?

how bout the metallic, penny smell (i detect it as a blood smell, maybe along the stank pussy side of things mixed with the b.o... but ppl poo poo that description)?

tbh, ppl say pine and i never smell pine in any of the chem stuff (it's rare i smell it in cannabis at all, tbh) so i just wonder how it blends in and whether i'm just overlooking it.

those are my two favorite sides of the chem D genes' aromas, i'm guessing the c4dd might be a better tree to bark up for that (the smell is secondary to fx, but still kinda important), but thought i'd rack your brain further

Hey @nepalnt21 thanks for asking. Yes the C4DD and Contra D are confusingly similar... but different lol..

so if we split the Chem funk into two categories,
A, sweat, cabbage,shit,garlic
B, Pine / Fuel (the D definitely has pine.. but it is behind a few other smells and not obvious present in all hybrids) you may smell it but enterpret as something different.. it's very personal.
I would say that you will find both of them in both C4DD and Contra D...
but i would say that overall, C4DD has more of the A, sweat, cabbage,shit,garlic,
and the Contra D has more of the B Pine / Fuel.
Also C4DDf2 has a bit more variation within a 'Chem' ballpark

oh yes i'm not sure about the 'metallic / penny smell.. there are lots of diverse kind of skunky smells in the Chems.. burnt rubber is one that i forgot to mention above and that should go in the A group i suppose - (that is also the smell that appears in the BlueDigiBerry (from the Digi side and is generally described as a touch of skunk))

interesting you mention the skunky smells right after the penny one, i've for awhile associated them with each other.

i think it's oxidized caryophyllene (cause i swear my caryophyllene terp bottle developed into part of the smell after many months, it went into the cedar/ incense realm... almost a hint of myrrh) plus whatever skunkiness the chemD smells have, the mix ends up (to my nose) a semi sharp, blood smell that reminds me of tasting copper and of smelling certain body oils after a long day (i learned from youtuber/ chemist nile red that "metal" smells are most likely actually oxidized oils on the surface of the metal, not the metal itself).

interestingly, i have some copper chem seeds from gps, i wonder if the pure chem4 has even more of that metallic background.

i smell it a little bit in the chem91 hybrids and pure chem91, but it's much much much more subtle... and to my nose it really blends with that background i think ppl call "chem", which at once reminds me of retirement homes, hospitals, and cleaning products (ammonia/ bleach almost, but pleasant and smooth).

sorry for the long tangent, lol... i never cared about weed smells until i met the chems.

Not at all, i'm similar.. i've never really moved on from the Chem and Bubba.. never got in the slightest bit bored of them. Other times i can be given a clone that is famous and get bored of it after a couple of smokes.

on a sidenote i'm excited about these... i have a few more little Contra D plants with hopefully a few more seeds in (they were supposed to be 'sensi' testers to select the best keeper for Contra D but they got waylaid ( in a good cause )
