Sampled the black Cherry soda phenotype, now jarred and curing.
Taste is already really strong, smooth smoking too. Expands a lot in the lungs but doesn't cause me to cough, strong black Cherry syrup and zesty soda flavors, some black currant and wood notes on exhale.
Heavy sativa influence, makes me need to take a seat from lightheadedness but after 5 minutes I'm up and motivated, definitely best to harvest this one a few days early like I did. Roughly 85/15 cloudy/clear trichs at harvest.

This female is one of the foulest smelling plants when curing, reminds me of sewage fumes, dead flesh and bitter chocolate.
I will be making f2's of this phenotype with the matching male plant and I'll call it the "sex panther" breeding line, rotting fleshy funky offensive cologne smell.

Smoke samples of 3 month cured flower are really starting to shine. No more harshness, smooth smokey whiskey barrel flavors mixed with fruits and caramel.
A nice .2 flower to start the day. I get about 1.5hrs effect on .25g, not a harsh crash like a few phenotypes, this one has a high ceiling and no paranoia.

This whole project is very impressive. The numbers you are running in this space is daunting. Hope you don't mind if I ask some questions - I'm still a beginner and a little mystified.
Are you keeping clones of females you use for backcrossing or just looking for males at this stage? Any liquid feed or just the top dressing dry amendments? It looks like in that last photo you maybe have seeds starting in plugs in cups - do you fill those cups up with soil and bury the stem after they get tall enough?

I plan to keep the clones of the f2 generation for f3 seeds, so I will need to keep male clones and female clones, I have now finished my run of the initial f1 generation, no longer keeping the f1 clones despite having access to them(my friends have some). I start usually in seed starters, in plastic cups, after roots show I add soil and number them(sucessfully germinated). After that I wait again for roots to show on the clear cups and transfer them to 24 oz containers, same process up until 2 gallon pots where I ammend soil with perlite(25%)and some fish bone meal, azomite, egg shells, and light amounts of dolomite lime and begin flowering with organic(ewc/guano tea) feedings. I don't topdress much anymore with these varieties, when growing sativas and yheir hybrids I follow "less is more" rule of thumb for feeding. Look at the roots and listen to plants.

I will be transferring the rest of my seedlings to soil, adding some "Lactic Acid Bacteria" so my seedlings can get a head start and reduce the effects of what ever pythium/fungi is stunting their growth. My new apartment is apparently pretty active fungus-wise, I live on a swamp now...

I've began noticing a few new smells from the (Haribo x Bourguignon/Sticky) f2's, the sweet sugary green tea smell from the haribo mom, a subtle hint which was overpowered by tropical candy flavors(mango,kiwi,cherry,lemon) is now more discernable, this is from the Thailand genetics which were selected for unintentionally, but unexpressed in the Golden Tiger male I selected to make f1's.
The smells have developed from a lightly herbal and spicy sweet smell to a more creamy(think vanilla malt) and Matcha coffee(green tea coffee), lightly spiced with allspice smells from the Malawi and hints of caramel malt which is from the grandmother's hashplant genetics. The oily/herbal greasy odors and texture of the father plant is expressed in some more than others but the overall scents I'm picking up are dominated by the mother's sweetness. F2s smells better than f1 already.
Mango funky male offspring are still stinking, but it is now more like a mango whisky cocktail smell now, it's developed a nice earthy, cork smell like the grandmother's. They smelled of mangoes and baby shit their first week of life.

SWEET. I love this grow.
