Left column (front to back): Sour Diesel, Spirit Train, Spirit Train
Middle: White Cherry Truffle (short and tall phenos)
Right: Cavity Crush (just got her ‘2 week’ haircut), and two Sour Diesels who just arrived in the 12/12 tent last week
Sour Diesel is the first smell I get when I open the tent. It’s got a rotting flesh thing going on right now.
Sour D is the two rows on the left, Cavity Crush the two on the right. Middle is one row of Spirit Train and one of White Cherry Truffle which were placed in the cloner right off the plant
Amazing , this plant resilience always surprise me, but watching your gorgeous Spirit Train and others also reveals clearly you know what you’re doing …
@BarefootAndBlazed love the shape of those Spirit Train colas… Spears! Tagging along for the show, bro! Thanks for sharing the before and after 3 weeks in the refrigerator! Great to know!
I’ll harvest the White Cherry Truffles this weekend at 9-10 weeks.
Both Spirit Trains have been trimmed. The smell is reminiscent of spoiled milk with pine and my vape sample was very stoney.
I chopped the Sour Diesel at day 75 because she didn’t look very happy. I think she could have gone 12 weeks had I done her justice. I’ll grow her better next time…
Veg tent has some pairs on the left (Cavity Crush, White Cherry Truffle, Sour Diesel, Spirit Train), a column of four Blueberries, a larger WCT, and the pair of Dirty Taxi plants. The DT runt is still around, but hasn’t been able to break through and grow normally. I’ll likely trash it this week. I’m going to have to drop some strains from the lineup soon, especially since I have planted a few seeds of Querkle and Bruce Banner…
My flower tent is jammed full. A couple Spirit Trains in the front and two Sour Diesels on the right. There’s also an NL5/1 x Super Skunk, Tangie, and Port Wine Cheese in the back…
Did you sample the Port Wine Cheese yet? I picked up some of those from Sam too and thought they would be interesting to check out. I expect grape funky skunk. What are yours like?
I harvested two Port Wine Cheese plants in May. They are appropriately cured now and I just smoked some last night. @Meesh grew one last year and mentioned that I would enjoy it and she was absolutely correct! It’s quite intoxicating in all senses of the word: taste, aroma, and it produces a lovely buzz.
I’ve got a bud under my nose right now (three cheers to working from home!) and I’m getting a cheesy funk with a sharp acetone/chemical smell. Not much fruit. I didn’t get as much color as expected from a plant with GDP as one of the parents, but I’m SUPER satisfied to keep this one around.
Awesome! The fruit is just an exaggerated version of a regular cheese plant imo. That dark overripe funk, more maybe bing cherry like than anything. I had a huge outdoor plant so the stuff that’s been in the bucket for 9 months is super strong. 3 hits and I’m crazy high. lol. Glad you are enjoying it!
I made hard candies today. I was shooting for 2.5-3mg each (like my last round) but they ended up around 1mg each. I had a 300mg bottle of infused lemon/lime syrup from a dispensary I visited in California last fall. I doubled a recipe for 50 candies but used a smaller mold size and ended up with 300. Yikes! It’ll be fun to see if I can micro-dose with them. At least this batch wasn’t as difficult as the last. Wrapping them took all afternoon!
I added yellow food coloring on the way up around 290°, as well as lemon flavoring and 2oz of lemon-lime THC syrup (300mg) after hitting 300°and dropping to around 280°. You don’t want to add it too early since the heat can degrade the THC, but you don’t want to wait too long or the mixture will solidify, making it hard to pour.
Once at room temp I tossed them in a coating: 1 cup sugar to 1 tsp “acid blend” to give a nice tangy/sweet starting point. I bought the latter a while back. It’s a mix of Citric, Malic, and Tartaric acid.
Edit to add: It took 20-30 minutes for the mixture to reach 300° (cut the heat at 300 and it will climb to 305° - the “hard crack” state), a lot longer than I imagined…
