Deep Chunk x DK
1 week later…
A buddy of mine is growing out the Deep Chunk x DKs I made earlier in the thread. He’s just finished vegging them, and they’re about to go to flower.

Afghanis
Lebanese
Seeds are browning up on the Blue Hemp Lebanese. As soon as the seeds are ready, these plants are getting chopped.
I already have a favorite in the Afghani category. One of the black afghanis is looking pretty nice. It’ll make some nice keeper seeds.
On the fence about the cherry queens right now… One hermed slightly, so I won’t be keeping seeds from it. The other isn’t yielding very well and looks a little leafy for my taste. They do have a nice smell to them, and are more terpy than your average Afghani. One day, I’ll go back through my pack and try to find a keeper… or maybe one of the males I used will turn out some good crosses.

These things are getting pretty yuuuge. I hope they’re done stretching… Just starting to form buds. Almost pollination time.

Blue Hemp Lebanese #1
Harvest day for this one. Way overdue at this point, approaching 60 days, when it was probably done about 2 weeks ago. Needed to wait for the seeds to mature though.
Virtually no lateral branching, sativa characteristics, somewhat tall with a single main cola. Very compact, but on its own is a pretty low yield. Not great for plant limits…
The most fascinating thing about this old school landrace Lebanese is that I found sap at the base of many of the fan/sugar leaves. As you can see in the picture, it’s a sticky clear substance. I tasted it and it’s sweet! Maybe I’ll collect it up and put it in my covfefe.
I still have another one of these to chop. With this one, I made about 20 more blue hemp leb seeds (incross). I also made a hybrid with cherry queen (outcross) and got about 10 viable seeds from that.

Black Lebanon
At least one of these is getting chopped this weekend! The one with the golf ball nugs is ready. Seeds look mature enough. The extra frosty pheno (last pic) could use some more time though.

Love those shots, man. Great job.

The black leb is gorgeous!
Am I reading right that the blue would have been done in 44 days??!? I’ve never seen anything that quick. Also, the clear stuff is called ‘guttation’. A sign of a high Brix plant.
I’m sure you probably already knew that. First time I saw it I thought I found some kind of one in a million freak that was making thc balls, but sadly its just basically sugar water haha

I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing. Both of my blue hemp Lebanese are producing it. It has a nice taste. 
Yes, they could have been finished at about 45 days. I’ve never seen anything finish that quickly either… Pretty amazing. The black lebs are pretty much dead on Gene seeds estimation of 60 days.

Damn, that’s a cash croppers dream there.
Personally, I’ve never seen anything done in under 56 in all my years. There were always rumours of m39 actually being done in 39 days, but I think it was just lazy growers chopping way too early.

That black leb looks intense. Interesting to hear smoke report

Blue Hemp #3
This one definitely yielded better than the other. Smells more terpy as well. Have seeds still maturing on branches in the tent. I just lopped off the top portion that I didn’t pollinate.

Black Lebanon #3 (chopped @ 61 days)
Just eye candy… 
First of the black lebs to get the chop. Same story with this one. Gonna cut the top and let the seeds mature longer. These buds are awesome… so large and compact. Had to put it in from of the black sheet for some glamor shots. This one was spot on 60 days. Props to Gene Seeds for breeding this awesome specimen, and giving an accurate flower time.

Cherry Queen #3 (chopped @ 61 days)
Nice squatty plant, pumping the frost. It does smell like cherries. Finished in 61 days. The other pheno probably has a week or two left. A little bit leafy, but that’s not much of a problem, as everything is coated in resin anyway.

@PoppaPuff Here’s a few snaps of mine. Loving the late flops on a few of these. 
All the nugs along the main stem will get as much light as the top. They all bend upward toward the light, and by the end will be pretty plump. It looks goofy, but it does work. Only catch is sometimes it becomes too much of a lever arm and you need to put a rope around it if you grow in small coco pots like me. 
Some good trichome development down the leaves on a few of these. Should be pretty exciting!

Blue Hemp Lebanese
This vintage Lebanese was fun to grow. It’s an interesting plant, with some bizarre characteristics. It doesn’t yield particularly well. Nonetheless, it’s a super fast finisher and it has some decent frosty nugs. I did a pre-cure smoke test, and it’s quite enjoyable. Nutty, woody flavor and extremely smooth inhale. Rich port-like aftertaste…no doubt from the sugary sap in the buds. Very laid back and relaxing effect, focused, but calming.
This plant is very unique. I have no doubt I’ll puff through it pretty quickly.

Cherry Queen #1 (chopped @ 69 days)
This was a nice plant, that unfortunately gets crossed off my list due to nanners. I probably wouldn’t have used the seeds anyway. The Black Afghani seems to be a little less consistently good, so I will likely be using the good BA female (looking really good actually…) as the selection for my crosses with cherry queen.
Some other notes about this plant – super frosty and pretty compact. Structurally, this is definitely a pretty standard Afghani. Very good resin production, with a definite scent of cherry at various points during the grow. Pretty easy grow overall. I’ll be keeping this strain in mind for future projects.

Pretty plant. What’s the deal with hermie epidemic nowadays? I’ve never had herms, my current round is 4/5. Seems far more common than it used to be…
