Did plant #3 throw the same anise and menthol smells? They look fantastic!

Uh uh, no. At least, I don’t think so haha. Honestly, I’ve been pretty consistently lit for a while now, hammered really, all day and all night for weeks. I truly cannot remember what she smelled like when I was trimming her, but I do know that she didn’t smell like that #2 plant, which was just STRONG “in your face” overwhelming menthol and anise. I really did feel very, like,”Ugh, I can’t keep trimming this, but I must soldier on…” haha.
I grew a couple of Bodhi’s (sorry to keep bringing up Bodhi on this thread haha) Gold Star f4’s like eight or nine years ago and they also smelled very “menthol-y.” Those Gold Stars were some of my favorite weed ever, so I think the fact that that #2 Wat Pho smells the same way is a good sign, despite her lack of stretchiness.
Or whatever haha.

Oh man, you have some gorgeous plants there… Do you have a grow journal?? I’d love to follow along a grow!

Your smell descriptions alone make me want to grow this

I’m really surprised at how squat they stayed as well. Definitely not what I was expecting.

Haha… Yeah, I have a grow journal. I log everything I grow: Bodhi's Triple Goddess, HolyAngel's Franco's Lemon Cheese x NL5Haze/Sensi Star and Doc D's Wat Pho
I just start a new one for every round because I like to make it easier for people who may not be OG members to find the information they’re looking for simply by googling, like,”Doc D Wat Pho grow report,” or whatever.
Just be prepared to scroll through tons of posts that have nothing to do with the grow haha. My logs get real chatty.
Yeah, I thought they’d get much taller for sure, just because of the genetics involved. This was (and still is) a cross that I’m extremely interested in; whenever I’d order from Doc and this was one of the available freebies, I’d always emphasize that I’d prefer the Wat Pho seeds to anything else, please and thank you haha.
You’d think that a Temple x A5Thai hybrid would get relatively big and maybe I’ll find a few plants that do the next time I plant them. I dunno. I’ve still got a decent amount of the Wat Pho seeds left…
Haha, yeah, that #2 plant smelled insanely-strong when I was trimming her. It really was like,”Gawddamn, I can’t take this anymore… I need to step outside for a few minutes and get a breath of fresh air…”
I’ll probably start getting into the both of them pretty soon, really looking forward to it.

Just recently emailed him at the end of it he said
“thanks for sharing your experience! I’m still looking for a new place but i’m stoked to be back stateside reconnecting with everyone.
wishing you a beautiful spring with plenty of great plants. “
Might still be a little while longer before he gets set up but not sure @PlantShepherd

I just bought a pack of doc d. Think they’re old stock? Has he been gone awhile? Sent him an email and got the same message about just getting back and looking around for a space. So thinking the seeds are old. Guess I should have asked him in the email lol

Chem D cross went in with a bunch of friends for different chem d crosses. I will have to look when I get home what I wrote down is the cross as someone else got the packaging. When he said he just got back from Mexico and looking for space I thought maybe real old seeds but if he wasn’t down doing a major seed hunt for years all good…I hope lol

Nice! Glad he’s back. Hope he finds a place and gets settled. I will impatiently be waiting. 
I think that depends on what you consider ‘old’ stock lol. 
Speaking of old stock, if anyone has Doc’s old ‘Love Affair’ I’d pretty much give my left testicle. Just sayin.
