That coffee smell sounds amazing and is exactly why I recently bought some of Verdant Green's pre98-bubba seeds! I'd be so happy to get a decent yielding coffee pheno like I remember smoking around here a while back!
Any guess on the genetics of your coffee smelling plant hush?
Man, I spent a good hour last night researching "cannabis that smells like coffee" to try to see if that would help me figure out what is in these genetics. Like you alluded to, bubba kush is one of the most prominent. But I haven't grown any bubba kush since I grew out CBG's Peyote Purple, and I don't remember that getting seeded or even giving me any pollen. But it was an extremely tough time for my wife during that grow. She was approaching the end of her very painful pregnancy if my timeline is correct. I barely remember getting out of bed for that whole year, it seems. I was on autopilot, just trying to survive each day.
But another possibility that came to mind is this: when my wife and I were actually in the moving van, leaving our old life behind, I had a jar of seeded KxNL F2 buds that we were smoking. It was all we had left. So I had told her to keep throwing the seeds back in the jar every time we packed a bowl, which is a habit we've gotten into over the years. After arriving to our new home, that jar of seeds would have inevitably been transferred to a Tupperware container of seeds, and put in my horticulture storage tubs. A while later after buying a house and moving from the rental into it, I would have unpacked everything from those tubs, because I was going to grow out another garden of Ace seeds.
Well I'm thinking that it's possible that this is the container of seeds from that jar of KxNL F2s we were smoking on the road. If so, though, that would make these plants F3s, and that would leave me wondering why there was so much diversity. Aren't F3 generations supposed to be a bit more homogeneous?
Although, I did start this journal off marveling about how uniform the plants were. Hmmm.
But they're clearly not all that uniform in the end, so I don't know. If that theory is correct, it also means that this would have been the F3 progeny of my least favorite KxNL F2, because it was the last jar, and we save the under-matured buds for last, always. So, the buds we were smoking in the moving van were from one of the longer-flowering plants in that F2 generation, which was harvested before maturity. But it was seeded, and the seeds had fully matured, so maybe what I'm seeing here is a fuller expression of that genotype now that it's all there is and I wasn't dedicating the garden to its fast flowering sisters.
That was a lot of words. I don't know what I have here, but it seems nice. I don't think I'll ever know what's in these genetics.
