base pot pheno hunting.
my "pink" and "white" are very flo leaning and seem nearly identical.... when we were trimming them they seemed the same, very dense, thick buds, light foxtailing, same structure, nearly identical smells also, pink being a lil bit more strawberry-ice-cream-y. But both have the same good characteristics.
Flowering a bunch of the pinks & whites next to each other right now in my "mostly vert" room that's gone all vert now.
the "orange" pheno is very low yeilding, stretchy long node spacing, nice n frosty but not strong smelling. poor structure and poor yeild, and poor smell so orange is out.
Blue is nice version of the kushy side of this cross,

By now everything is cut & trim, hung for a day & a half or so, it's super dry where im at so that's long enough thinner stems are snapping already; now it's all in cardboard boxes buds still on stem (will slightly draw moisture from inside buds and continue to dry),, next going into jars to start the burbing process, have some nice 1gals to put all the chunky D in & some quarts for each flo cross pheno

dont forget that bobblehead's theory about nutrient separation in the medium, heavier molecules and what not could very well be spot on.... so copy this design at ur own risk.

cleaned up the room yesterday:

some very cool pattern in the roots:

speaking of roots....
the roots of each cup did grow down into the cups below them, making the towers stable enough to stand up on their own even when I removed all the stakes that stabilize them vertically.

chunky D thread link:

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=5709212#post5709212

it's a good strain, so far so good i like it & it's a keeper. she will def. get dusted w some pollen in an upcoming chuck....

smokes nicely, even tho it's not cured at all just dry, still smokes w sour citrus flavors, altho sweeter than the average sour D.


next round coming together, room is all cleaned up, refilled w cups.... some big plants too.

Make sure to balance the number of towers and veg time needed to completely fill the canopy sideways after stretch, easier said than done I know but should be easy if you run the same cuts. Good luck with run #2!
