Let's make a new update, starting from this resin ball coming out from a BlueFire stem, already dry and ready to trim.

I harvested the 3x BlueFire by Humboldt.
Nothing really special hit me up about these plants so far, but nothing is sure until I smoke them.
On two plants (#1 - #3) I also found hermie traits at first stage of flowering. Nothing severe but... About pheno #2 I found a nanner (visible in a picture) at harvest time.
They took 60 days and maybe with some more they also would have been ok.

They grow like a balanced hybrid, maybe something more indica style than sativa, not the most vigorous strain but a good one.



Let's start with first pheno


BlueFire #1

I found this pheno being the lowest yielder, flowers are something airy, not bad resin amount, some foxtail tendency and the smell is not so strong but I can feel some cherry and some kind of solvent. Could be good when smoked.


(All plants are a little overflushed so many leaves are gone)

BlueFire #2

Well, this plant is not bad at all...but at the same time I doubt it can be a keeper. However it has a good smell, some kushy/earthy with some lemon, not strong, not so intense but it can promise something good at least.

BlueFire #3

I liked this one. Maybe the best flower of the small group. Not so dense but with a good shape and look. Smell is also good, it is strange and different from usual, I just write what smelling the resin remembers me, and in this case it's about honey, coffee and popcorn. Hope it will keep a good aroma when burned.

One more plant I harvest is FPOG x Wed.Cake x Gelato #2 by RadicalRoots.


Unfortunately I got only 2 females of this strain and one hermied out so I throw it away. The only one remained (#2) has a really OG solvent/diesel (more dieselish) smell and it's pretty strong so it can be a good one to keep...I really hope.



I didn't find male flowers on this pheno, but yes I saw seeds. Most probably the pollen comes from some other plant.
Strange enough I saw in a picture a couple seeds surrounde by a couple of resin drops (shown in a picture).


Overall this plant grow like an indica hybrid, good resin coverage, good smell, fast flower (60 days) I will probably sprout some more of these seeds.

Next one is a Tropicanna Punch #9 by Oni. It went in flowering before the others for my mistake. It's a little plant, still not ready for harvest but I really don't like it. The smell is poor, just something sweet but it's a real punch...but in my eyes because it is ugly, so I harvested it and goodnight. I'm pretty disappointed with both tropicanna cookies and tropipunch, could have saved some money most probably but I also hope for some luck at the end.

CORRECTION: one of the two females I ended with was not weak/freak but hermied out during the first stages of flowering (pheno #1).



Last plant for this harvest update is the only female I have of SecretCookies x KushMints #11 by SeedJunky.

Out of 6 seeds: 2 were not sprouting, 2 were males, 1 was a freaky female really weak (eliminated) and the one remained is simply a beauty. Most probably the best looking flower of the batch, with a great resin coverage and a perfect bud/leaf ratio.

Smell is not impressive but it has some, I would say milky one. Maybe something balsamic too?



SecretCookies x KushMints #11 (pheno #1) - 60 days from the switch (and a week more could have been better)

Last funny/weird/interesting thing of this 60days update: I found on the last plant (SecretCookies x KushMints #11) a lot of broken leave's stems. Never seen something like that, I only saw sometimes it happens on the main stem in hydro plants, they break the outer cuticle for too much internal pressure (or at least it seems like this...and it is weird too).

Great job and wonderful shots as always!;)
I also have a cross with Seed Junky's Kush Mint # 11 crossed with Sunset Sherbet. I'm glad yours is turning out to be a good cross ... it gives me hope!
I look forward to the end of the cycle for the final considerations.

Peace

Yo buddy, I was wrong and I have 2x of this strains and both of them are very interesting. Unfortunately one of the two females hermied out during first stages of flowering and the other one is still male flowers free.

I will post some pics and I hope you guys over there will find many good things out of those seeds! Stay tuned and keep it dank bro :)

After 61 days from the switch I finally harvested the Sherbet x PlatinumCookies. Really nice smell around, floreal kush, some lavender it was a pleasure to work with this smell around...however as I was also trimming Amnesia Core cut, I must admit everything was covered by its hazy smell, that plant is impressive.



I did a long flushing on this ended with a lot of crispy leaves, needed to be removed first to avoid crushing them and go to stick on the buds.


I also checked the medium to see if any springtail was there and nope, I didn't see a single one, so this is just great. I'm still not 100% sure but Clorpyfyros should stop this them also is very low dosage.


Very easy to trim overall, don't seems to be an huge yielder and the flowers are simply awesome looking. Now they're drying and after let's say 10 days I will do the final trimming.

I also took some pictures of Tropicanna Punch pheno #2 by OniSeedsat 49 days flowering. It still need 10 or 15 days, something sweet in the smell (nothing impressive) but it has a strange looking. Its resins is thick, trichome's stems are big and tall.

Overall resin is in good quantity but those fat stalked thrichs, with little heads don't make me super-happy about it.



I was talking about some superstrains around, impressive looking but when worked to make hash their yield is very low because all the ''white'' we see is mainly composed by useless big and elongated stems. Notice in some pictures stems are thicker than heads!

Last update of today is about SecretCookies x KushMints #11 (pheno #2) by SeedJunky at 49 days of flowering.


This strain in most probably the absolute winner about flower appeal. Its shape, leaf/calix ratio, resin coverage is stunning and this pheno too obviously.

Lot of stretch for it, seems a good balanced hybrid and I really hope it will not show any nanners, because also the smell is promising. Don't want to say nothing before harvest time but it could be a keeper.
