Finally tried the dense bud from the last plant I took down.
I got a ten day dry with this one compared to 5-8 days with the others. The difference seems to be huge, it was really smooth and tasty compared to most of the other ones and it’s only been curing for 10 days.

Speaking of autos...Just remember I uploaded pics of my autos the other day and didn't post em' here.
Mango Smile....I took it down somewhere around 70-ish days IIRC. Dense trichome production and lots of resin, this plant was up there with some of the most resinous I've grown. I really liked the open structure it had, how far apart the bud sites were, just the way it grew perfect individual buds instead of long colas/spears. Attracted some caterpillars, more so than any of the other autos I had going (I lagged on BT early in the season). The smell of the fresh resin at harvest was sweet haze, a little sour, fermented mango/fruit, a touch of a glue-like chemical note. After drying/curing it isn't the most loud smelling but when opening the jar it does release a pungent kick of skunk/dank, sticking the nose into the jar and there is a bit of a mild sour mango, haze, and that chemical glue-like smell. Not a ton of flavor but I have yet to smoke a fat joint of it, has a smooth & clean smoke though that is very dense/oily. Tight dense buds, pretty dense but not overly/rock hard type dense, packed together with a lot of resin. Breaking up the buds to pack a bowl will coat the fingers in sticky/greasy resin.
Potent smoke. Hits in the head. Usually gets me in gear and gets me going but it can become heavy and dreamy when enough is smoked. Lots of munchies lol. It's been my day smoke for the past month.







The Mango Smile had a hollow stem, hexagon shaped lol...first time I've seen this. Is this just a trait that some varieties have or is it a sign of a deficiency of some sort? The stems were stout & strong but super light, felt balsa wood lol.

My fingers after trimming the Mango Smile, IIRC I trimmed the MS by hand/finger mostly with out scissors. Some strains I find to be easier to "trim" by finger instead of scissors.

Creme de la Chem.....I took this one down around 65 days IIRC. It was the smallest auto I grew, it was a really meaty/thick/stout little plant though. A lot of trichome/resin. When it was growing it smelled like tennis balls, woody/pine, bad breathe, DMT, lots of gas, skunk. It had a classic chem funk going on and I liked it A LOT! After drying/curing the aroma mellowed out a bit and matured more into a woody/incense-like thing, still has a bit a of gassy/chemical funk to it though. The buds weren't quite "fluffy" but slightly more open of a bud structure than most of what I've grown, still though they were caked/stuffed and glued together with resin and have some weight to em'. I like this one a lot and will def be trying to get my hands on my seeds of it or any other autos with CDLC in the genetics. I imagine this one would make a lot of really good hash.
It has a really tranquil and calming/stoning effect. It doesn't feel particularly potent/super high THC but is def on the relaxing side of things. Slows the mind down a bit and sooths the body. Some good medicine for sure.


Strawberry Mango Crumble...This one went the longest, took it down around day 85 days IIRC. This was a freebie, I got 5 free seeds of it. I'm pretty sure it is a cross of "Strawberry Nuggets X Mango Smile", or perhaps the other way around. I've grown three plants of it so far (2 harvested early this summer and another close to harvest) and they have all been pretty different. I've never grown Strawberry Nuggets so I'm not familiar with it from a hands on perspective but have read about it, I can def notice the influence/traits of both parents in each plant I've grown so far. This one in the pics below has mostly traits from the Strawberry Nuggets it seems. Mostly "indica" in structure, short & squat with fat leaves. The flowers were pretty fat & chunky too. I could tell some of the flower structure of MS was in the flowers on this plant, but they were inlfated/fat. When it was flowering the resin had a sweet/tart/sour smell of berries, a slight hint of melon, and even a slight mint or eucalyptus-like note....it was a very "bright and juicy" smell over all. After drying/curing it still has a bit of a sweet/sour & fruity smell with a slight herbal funk, and still kinda picking up almost a mint or eucalyptus like "coolness" to it. This one has a decent amount of flavor the comes through in the smoke. The aphids loved this plant, every SMC plant has attracted a lot of aphids.
It has a relaxing effect on the body, slows me down a bit. Also has a nice mood lift/hits the head a bit, gets me a bit giggly. Mostly on the mellow side of things though. I smoke this one at night for the most part. It's a nice smoke.




One of the other Strawberry Mango Crumble plants I grew had a structure a bit more like the MS. The trichome production wasn't very dense, not super resinous either but def left the fingers oily. It had an aroma that I wasn't a fan of either. Can't really explain it, it has a strange "mineral" or "metallic" note to it, kinda herbal/herbaceous, I can pick up some mild fruity notes. Not bad smelling but def not all that good.
The third SMC I have going...it has a structure a lot more like Mango Smile, the buds are similar too. It's aroma is closer to MS but it too has a bit of that strange mineral/metallic like smell going on.
All of the autos I grew seemed to finish on the early side of their estimated time to harvest. I assume that since they were growing during the peak days of summer with lots of heat & transpiration they ripened up relatively quickly. (they started to flower shortly before the solstice)
It was my first time growing autos and I'm pretty impressed. The Mango Smile and the Creme de la Chem were up there with some of the best herb I've grown over the several years that I've been growing now.

Been digging this plant all season. Tester seeds were shared with me by the breeder, I have two phenos I kept and this one is my favorite. It stayed short and has killer structure, is resisting PM pretty well (I like to leave my personal seed plants alone and see how they perform without being babied) and as you all can see has beautiful colors.
Candyland x (OKC x (GMO x Vader OG))

Second pheno is all green and not nearly as photogenic. Stem rub has a sort of rubbery tennis ball smell to it. If it smokes like some good OG I'll be happy, otherwise not much interest in that one.

Started taking down the double chocolate with the sketchy roots. A little early but I gotta get it dry before I leave for Christmas stuff.
Love the buds on these plants.

Some harvest shots of the Bubblegum, sugar stix pheno; Hibernate, and other Bubblegum. Might be some of my prettiest flower yet. The sugar stix smells soo awesome, like a gas station that only sells diesel and bubblegum. It's what gets me out of bed lately, burping these jars to get another sweet, sweet sniff.
Lol here's a picture of the Hibernate from August 6th when it was the only clone that survived and was the first plant I spotted the spider mite infestation on. Dumped that bottle of predators on it and thought problem solved. It fought in every battle until the war was over. What a veteran. This plant helped me learn so much and I've grown vigorously alongside it the past 6 months. Sad to see it go.

Caly wompus first two.This first one has some pine coming through now.
 This second one was a pain,intersexed so much it doesn't really want to finish either.Probably seeded where I can't see.
 We are going to test this last one to see where the numbers are for thca,thcv and cbd.These are a medical hunt for anti psycotic potential combinations.Where the thca is low compared to what is trending but the thcv and cbd are in a therapeutic range.
 These were 18-20 day veg, day 70 flower.They were in 1.75 gallons of soil.

Here are the 2 tatooine donuts today.
#2
   She is 18inches tall. More compact and green.
#3
   She is 20inches tall. Fades purple on leaves and some calyx.
Both smell like vanilla. #2 a little more citrus added to it. #3 is more beautiful in my opinion.
What are your guys opinions on them and which would you prefer to breed with? To continue F2.

Happy 420 all!
Think I need to let them swell for another week or so but the trichomes are almost where they need to be. Mostly cloudy with a few turning amber.

Pretty proud of this. Still a shitload of trimming to do but looks like I’ll get 3-5oz per plant.

Mr Piggy said: I ALWAYS sold bud in mason jars back in the day. I felt a $1 expense was worth the much higher quality and much longer shelf life, so did everyone who bought some. .
Shit, i used to get weed in cigarette cellophane that smelled better than the stuff now days. 
I agree 95% of store weed is mids at best, and the good stuff often ends up sitting in inventory for so long that it loses all the terps. Plus there's like 5 strains that every farm grows, the taxes are insane, and budtenders are usually the most cliche annoying stoners you can imagine.
All that being said, chronic can be grown at scale...


But yeah definitely grow your own, which everyone here does.

One of my very overcrowded raised beds.

And my main garden area.

I give away around 150 or so clones every spring to friends and family. This year I had way too many left over and had to cram a lot more than usual into my space along with all the mothers. Gonna be a long time consuming harvest this year.
