So I chopped the Soar #3 and the Sky Cuddler #3 f3 #2 (I dunno why I chuckle every time I type âSky Cuddler #3 f3 #2,â but I doâŚ) last night, day 56. Took some pics, even though I just posted some a week ago, just because it felt weird not taking any on the day I chopped. Hereâs the Soar #3:
She REEKS of grapefruit/pink grapefruit and âsalty/sweat.â I took them both outta the tent right when the lights turned on and set them on the dining-room table, then spent like twenty minutes going back and forth between the grow room and the kitchen, filling humidifiers and getting the drying area prepped. The whole time, I was like,âGawd, whatâs that smell? I know it, what is itâŚ?â At first I thought it was pink lemonade, but then realized it was grapefruit. Smells really good and not what I was anticipating at all.
My only other experience with that OMG dad was with the Smart Moves (Genius Thai x OMG) I grew a while back; one of those, the OMG-leaner, ended up smelling exactly like tangerines. So, in my limited experience with these OMG crosses, it seems like thereâs real potential to find âcitrus fruitâ-type smelling plants, I guess from the ones that end up leaning OMG. Pretty cool, if youâre into that haha.
Just as an aside, re: that salty/sweaty smell: the Bandaid Hazes have been smelling like that for the last ten days or so, too, a combination of plastic and the the salty thing. Iâm wondering if itâs something I did? Or maybe the way my soil mix is, uh, mixed up right now? I did re-amend my soil a while ago, canât remember now if it was before this grow or if it was two grows ago. I added fish meal, though, I remember doing that, first time Iâve ever done that. I wonder if that has something to do with it⌠I dunno.
Anyway, hereâs the Sky Cuddler, day 56, chopped:
Of course Bowie had to get involved in the chopping/hanging process. He just canât help himselfâŚ
Anyway, the Sky Cuddler smells pretty mellow, kind of sweet, like marshmallow-y? Maybe? I dunno. In any event, Iâm sure the smells on both plants will change while theyâre drying and curing. I hope they donât, though, because they both smell really good.
Since I had the camera out, I took pics of everything else. Trichome development on some of the Bandaids has increased pretty noticeably. Iâm gonna skip the full-plant shots and just post closeups here, since I just posted full-plant shots last week.
Bandaid Haze #1, flower day 56:
I dunno why I labeled these pics âday 57,â itâs day 56. Oh, wellâŚ
Bandaid Haze #3, flower day 56:
Bandaid Haze #4, flower day 56:
Bandaid Haze #6, flower day 56:
So yeah, like I mentioned, they smell like plastic and the taste of sweat. Not like the typical âbody odorâ thing, but like the way sweat tastes, super-salty. So thatâs, uh, kind of cool, I guess haha. Iâm sure thatâll change as things progress, although they really have been smelling like that for the last ten days or so, so I dunno, maybe it wonât.
Hereâs the Colombian Gold x Dragon Energy #1, flower day 56:
And the #2:
And hereâs the Ancient OG x Dragon Energy #1, flower day 10? I think?
Sheâs really not stretching at all, to the point that Iâve checked the timer twice to make sure it wasnât still on the veg cycle schedule. But itâs not, so⌠Iâm still not even positive that sheâs a she. Fairly certain, but not 100%. Iâm keeping her in the 3x3 for now, even though Iâd like to move her into the big tent and shut the small one down, but sheâs way too short right now to go in there. Even on a five-gallon bucket, sheâd be like three feet away from the lights. Hopefully she starts stretching soon, I dunno what her deal is haha.
Anyway, yeah, two plants down, which is always exciting. Iâm stoked.

dude that CGxDE #2 has an awesome look to its flowers. its got that mean buzzsaw looking sativa vibe to it, i really dig it.

Yeah, her flowers are pretty cool-looking. Definitely not like anything else in the tent. I wish she wasnât so gigantic, though haha. And that she had stronger stems (that reminds me, I watered with a little K silicate last night, just to make a note of that here). I took full-plant pics last night, just didnât post them, and in multiple pics of the other plants, you can see random C. Gold x DE #2 branches leeeeaning down into the pic and getting in the way haha. Sheâs a fucking beast.

Naaahhhh, you think? I think the smoke is gonna be pretty pleasant and not âracyâ or âanxiousâ at all. Doc described the mom as being âsocial and euphoric.â And just thinking back to the old imported weed we used to get when I was a kid, late-80âs, that smoke was always really stony and comfortable. Uncontrollable laughter, thatâs all Iâm looking for haha. Granted, most of it was probably Mexican and not Colombian (and I was also 13 years old haha), but still⌠I donât think itâs gonna turn out all âteeth-gnashingâ and shit.
Iâm actually more worried about getting her through the door and into my drying area (the bathroom in the grow room) once I chop her haha. I like to hang the plants whole, but thereâs no way that #2 is gonna fit through the door. And I hang the plants in the shower; itâs definitely not wide enough in there to hang her whole. Probably end up drying her in the tent or (gasp!) chopping her up into a couple pieces.

Nice 
They all look great, the Soar especially.
Thatâs neat it was finished at 56 days⌠I canât remember a Bodhi plant finishing for me in less 65 days⌠and thatâs when I ran 12/12!
Do all your Bandaid Hazes smell the same? They all look completely different, at least to me.
Iâve been hitting the one I had. 4 months in the jar, very muted, delicate, fruit maybe. IDK, but itâs not like hay⌠or salty sweat! Really euphoric, mellow smoke, nothing racy about it a tall.

Yeah, Iâm pretty surprised how quickly that Soar finished. The OMG-dominant Smart Move got chopped on day 63 and that was just because I had an out of control fungus gnat situation. She shouldâve gone another week.
Yeah, pretty much. Iâm sure there are subtle differences thatâll become more noticeable once theyâve been jarred and cured. Plus, you know how it is, after youâve been smelling the first couple plants⌠After that, itâs pretty difficult to tell anything apart, unless theyâre wildly different from one another.
Sweet! Good to know. I had a feeling the smoke wasnât gonna be anxiety-inducing or anything, despite the BAH genetics.

Yeah, she smells really good. And LOUD, too, Iâve been getting whiffs of her all around the house since I chopped her. Iâm trying to think if Iâve ever grown anything that smelled garapefruit-y before, but I donât think I have, so thisâll be cool.
Nah, Bowie never gets mad, chillest dog ever. Although he has been taking steroids the past couple months, sometimes I feel like I can see him on the verge of a âroid rage or something haha⌠Might just be because heâs eleven, grumpy old manâŚ

Well, when you put it like that⌠haha.
Heâs a good boy, heâd never attack me or my girl. Strangers, though⌠haha. One time I was baked and and on the phone and forgot to lock the little gate we have in the entry way to keep the dogs from the front door, some delivery driver rang the door bell and I went to answer. He fully shot through the gate and out the door and attacked the driver, bit her on the ankle (but just barely haha), I had to drop my phone and wrestle him down⌠She was cool about it, though, thank gawd. I had visions of her, like, pressing charges and having to put him down⌠My girl woulda KILLED me haha.

Those little dogs are straight up evil incarnate. My BIL has one that sometimes forgets heâs hates everyone outside his household. Heâs all chill and then just flips like âoh shit, Iâm supposed to hate youâŚDESTROY!!â

Yeah, Bowie obsessively sits in my girlâs office, front of the house, and stares out the window all day. Any time anybody even comes near the house, even if itâs just the neighbor across the street pulling their car into the garage, he goes apeshit and runs through the house, barking like a freak. What Iâve never understood, though, is that he then runs out into the backyard and keeps barking. Itâs the backyard, dude, the people youâre barking at are out front. You just saw them out front. You know theyâre not in our backyard.
Fucking dogs⌠Theyâre an endless source of joy haha.

Yooo bruv, long time no speak. Just caught up, good to see youâve started to pull a killer harvest and back to pest free⌠stoked. Couple of those sativa leaners especially the donkey dick one looks like sheâll go another month or more. Gonna be enjoyable to burn around your pool this coming summer. Perfect with a Sierra Nevada Paley I bet.
I was reading what you were saying about aerated compost teas⌠I read a while back that a compost extract is just as if not more effective and basically risk free were as when you are brewing with air you run the risk of having âbadâ bacteria or fungi out competing the good and even worse pathogens out competing everything. People who test with a micro scope before applying have no worries but whoâs got time for that. I remember you saying you brew normally no longer than 24hrs so you should be in the safe zone, itâs normally when you forget it and it goes over 36hrs that when it gets a little dicey. But your plants look great so donât listen to me haha
Looking forward to the smoke report on the mean Jean stuff mate, shame about the germ rate and big male percentage though. Iâd say your due for popping some Bodhi stuff soon. Whatâs next in the mix?

Hey! Whatâs going on? Yeah, itâs been a while. I thought you were getting ready for the move to Mexico or in the process of the move, figured Iâd catch up with you after that, but then I saw that post on your thread and figured Iâd just hit you up sometime in the next few days. Nicaragua sounds (and looks) fucking awesome, besides the fact you canât grow there haha. Thatâs, like, my only prerequisite for moving to another country: gotta be able to grow relatively risk-free. And it has to be warm haha.
Re: the compost teas: itâs definitely possible to aerate so long they go anaerobic, but I havenât had that problem. I think youâd have to aerate for at least two days before that happened. Probably have to start with shitty compost, too. Or old, nasty compost, anyway. Iâve aerated for as long as 38 hours and never had an issue. Usually Iâll do between 30 and 36 hours for the âvegâ tea and 24-30 for the âflowerâ tea. They do seem to really work, though.
Shut yoâ mouth! Haha. The aphids showed up last run on day 60 or 61; Iâm on day 57/58 today, so⌠Donât fucking jinx me, dude haha. Iâm definitely being cleaner, showering before I water, changing clothes etc etc, so Iâm not too worried about it. I think the cold weather probably helps, too.
Definitely Doc Dâs Outer Limits (Sour Diesel x AfPak) and Lucky Dogâs Diesel Therapy (ECSD X â91 Chem). Iâve been being so stupid about this whole thing, all like,âWelllll, uhhhhh, I donât wanna grow any Sour seeds until Iâm certain on my cloning skills and I donât wanna grow two of anything at the same time that utilizes the same geneticsâŚâ and finally realized,âBitch! You love Sour Diesel! Pop those fucking seeds!â So Iâll definitely be planting some of each of those crosses.
And yeah, the rest will be Bodhi stuff haha. Iâm kinda thinking Dread Bread (Mango Biche x OMG)? Maybe? Just because I really dig that Soar I just chopped. And I liked the Smart Move I grew a while back, too. I like that OMG dad, I dunno why Bodhi discontinued it. So maybe the Dread Bread and then for sure one of the many, many GHash crosses I have in the fridge haha. I miss those. Thought the Black Triangle would hold me over until the next time I ran some, but that didnât work out the greatest, soâŚ
Anyway, great to see you around, dude! Always love chatting with you. Kinda sucks youâre not in a place where you can grow; I was looking forward to sending you those Mullum/Oaxacan seeds and seeing how they did for you in Mexico, but I get it. You gotta stay where it feels right.

Damn @minitiger thats a killer list of potential follow ups to this run. I had my eye in the outer limits as well. Have you seen jingelpotâs sour D run going on?? I think heâs opening up the wiki sometime today
