thanks, they are. Only regret is on my end, wish I went with 5 gallons instead of the 3's... thinking the fade is coming on too fast where there's nothing left in the containers. That and more amendments.
I have cuts of them all an plan on trying a couple things differently, but all in all I think their doing great.
Can't wait to try them.
Yeehaw, that time is upon us.....harvest time. Theses ladies have done great and looking like they will yield very well.
First up is #1, she reeks of sweet hazy dough/cookie with a menthol kick. A little stretchy but nothing horrible more likely because of th 3gal. Pot. Buds are nicely dense and hard.

#2, this one make me think of cookies with a sweet haze backed up by a fuelly mint. Great vigor, stacked great rock hard buds with less stretch of all five. Even being the smallest still one of the better producers.

#3, a lot like 2 in structure with very minimal stretch, very hazy. Smells of sweet mint dough dropped in a bucket of fuel.

#4,super frosty with this one double of all the others. another stretchy gal but I think with more training and bigger pots she could produce even better. Nice solid nugs. Smell is a lot like 3 but not as much fuel smell with this one but still delicious.

#5 with the most stretch of them all the buds are more spaced out but still dense, from eye balling I would say the least yield. Heavy haze smell with sweet mint to water the eyes... love huffing on this one lol.

All in all I am very pleased with them all,trimming should be a breeze with these gals and I will be running them again with a couple changes with pot size and training see if can push them abit longer. Still gonna wait till the smoke report to say which are my favorites but I have no doubt that there is a keeper or two lol.
More pics as soon as I get them hung and drying, tablet just doesn't do them justice there is some serious frost going on with these and want to show them off.
A BIG thank you to OJD for allowing me the chance to test these and hope I did them justice. And thanks to icmag for the place to do it.
And of course a big thanks to all that followed along.
Smoke reports to follow after a nice dry, trim, and cure.
I will also continue to post my results of following runs.
I given the buds a nice cure, took a sample from each and this is what i found..
In general I think that the flavors are nice blend of cookies and diesel/menthol, (various degrees with each pheno) I like the comparison,.. it's like a Bakery nestled next to a truck stop, in a delicious way lol. Very smooth and pleasing smoke, becoming one of my favorites for the daytime and night.
#1, the smell and taste are of sweet baking/cookies with a subtle hint of menthol fuel. Exhale leaves a nice sweet mint diesel taste.
The stone: comes on fairly fast, more cerebral high almost stimulating/social day time smoke. Also come with a nice body Buzz that helps keeps me going.
#2, more diesel to this one hint of sweet incense with a cookie back ground taste becomes a little stronger on the exhale.
The stone: comes on quickly with a head Buzz then evens out with the body and mind. I feel nice and relaxed but willing to get up and be productive at the same time.
#3, tastes of sweet incense with the diesel/fuel influence. Very nice flavor and fear I didn't do it justice in the description.
The stone: heavy and fast. Hits behind the eyes and sinus and transitions to the body. This one feels more Indica with some head to it, I like this one in the evening or on a slower day.
#4, this one I think leans more towards cookies, with a thick sweet bakery/cookie taste with a hint of menthol fuel.
The stone: feels more heavier or harder hitting than the others. Fast hitting rolls on more like an Indica yet still leaves a active mind if n a social or work setting. Very capable of couch lock if one where inclined to do so.
#5, tasted of diesel incense with a slight sweet dough on the exhale. A nice smooth smoke.
The stone: came on easy, kind of a so so high a mix if you will of head and body but not heavy on either. To me it is more of a social smoke, or a morning "ease your way into the day smoke".

I have a few more clones that I am getting ready for outside, very curious about how they will do.... they should get rather large and finish before the nasty weather returns.
