I’ll try and do a bit better update today than the past few. Everything got a water today so I snapped some photos of everything except the solo cups, which slipped my mind, sorry.
Anyway, here we go.
Tote big picture
S.A.D (finishing up!)
This one has such a unique nose, it’s like a sweet leather. I’ve never smelled anything like it, quite the terp profile. A little bummed with the trichome development though. She’s a week and a half into flushing, and will probably be harvested mid this coming week.
CDLC S1
Rock solid little buds, starting to finally fatten up. Still stinky, still short & cabbagey. A little disappointed with the trichome coverage on this as well, but she is certainly very stanky. It’s a fair trade off, like the SAD above.
Sour Crack (appx 2 weeks behind the rest)
Still cruising, might finish before the CDLC that started much earlier! Love the little 2 headed bud mutation. Terp profile is weird and I’m hoping is still developing. I’ve heard people refer to a “poopy diaper” terp profile… and I’ve gotta say this is the closest thing I’ve had to that and right now it isn’t pleasant lol. On the flip side, she’s frosting up much nicer than the other 2 in here.
Tent Big Picture
Pretty fall fades going on, some crunchy leaves & light stress/burn but overall we’re doing okay. Check the top right hand side. That’s the 3BOG x Mango Smile solo cup. It’s beasted and is now the tallest plant in the tent. Taller than my plants in 3 gallons… Maybe I’ll only run solo cups from now on! Lol.
Marshmallow Martian & Blue Microverse are getting close to finish. Will probably harvest the same day as the S.A.D. Jungle Love is probably a week and a bit out and I’d guess atleast two more weeks on the Strawberry Nuggets x Skywalker.
Marshmallow Martian
Grape Candy. Almost done. Excited.
Blue Microverse F5
Disappointed with the trichome coverage here, but lovely blueberry nose. Almost done, ready this week.
Jungle Love
Foxtails everywhere. Fine by me, I think they’re beautiful. Super light stressed though. Few crunchy tips on fan leaves. Probably a give or take a week out. So frosty, and the smell is a sweet gas.
Strawberry Nuggets x Skywalker
More light stress! But no foxtails, doesn’t seem to be impacting bud development like the Jungle Love, but large upper fan leaves are obviously burnt. Lots of fat golf ball style nugs, smells like strawberries & sandalwood.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I harvested these two little chonkers yesterday:
Marshmallow Martian:
Blue Microverse F5:
In addition to this, the CDLC S1 from the tote currently doing 24 hours of darkness (something I have never experimented with) before chopping tomorrow.
What this means is the remaining plants from the tote (SAD and Sour Crack) have found a new home in the main tent, and my tote has become my drying space for the next little while, while the girls hang dry low and slow.
Here’s the tent big picture now, you can see the SAD and Sour Crack are now in the place of the 2 plants that were harvested yesterday:
More updates soon!

Today was chop day for the 1 gallon CDLC S1 from @BasementBeans. Stinky little thing. I got lazy with defoliating the thing because honestly the cabbage pheno was really tiresome to work with. I’m excited for rank, chemmy, rock solid top nugs & the rest will head into a paper bag in the freezer to make hash at a later date.
No more tote updates as she’s now the drying zone.
So on to the tent we go, where we now have the SAD & Sour Crack calling it home, moved over from the tote, replacing the Marshmallow Martian & Blue Microverse F5 that were harvested.
Tent Big Picture
S.A.D (on her last legs, just waiting for amber)
Finishing up she’s smelling like a ripe banana peel. Still with a bit of leather undertone. Excited for the terps on this one. Currently being starved of water until chop in a couple days.
Jungle Love
Foxtails everywhere! So much Light stress. Sorry buddy. At this point, the foxtails are so big it’s like buds growing on top of buds. Hilarious, never seen anything like it. Really pretty plant. Sticky, amazing trichome coverage, light stress aside. Stress can be beautiful (to look at anyway).
Sour Crack (appx 2 weeks behind)
It no longer smells like poopy diapers. Thank god. Interesting kiwi notes coming off the nose now, and really fattening up. Love the shape of this gal. Symmetry makes me happy.
Strawberry Nuggets x Skywalker
Nuggets is an appropriate name for the shapes of these buds. Must be Wendy’s nuggets because she also comes with a side of Frosty. HA. Tallest gal in the tent and she smells like strawberries & incense.
Now onto the main event that I know everyone’s been waiting for… the solo cups!!!
3BOGxMango Smile
Holy shit, this thing is huge. I’m really, really regretting not hitting her with some colloidal silver to preserve this vigor and create some crosses, but just no isolation space open at the moment. Check this thing out next to the tallest plant in the tent, which was grown in a 3 gallon pot:
Trizzlers
Lots of bud sites thanks to the super crop. Nice dark healthy leaves. I can’t really explain what I’m getting from the nose on the stem rub but I can certainly tell Triangle Kush is in the parenthood.
CDLC S1
She’s ugly and beautiful all wrapped into one: some stress, some lockout, some fade… here we are - she stinks just as bad as her big sister who has already gotten the chop, but seems to be a frostier & less stumpy pheno. Fun little science project.
Catch you all in a few days, I would imagine an SAD harvest is very much on the horizon and Jungle Love not too far behind based on the trichs.

Ill trade Kiwi for poopy diaper any day! What a change in terp profile eh!
Your solo cups are exceptional!! Nice job. Youre ready for the challenge!!! Haha. Great updates and photos. Foxtails smoke just fine!

Hey @4ftfarmer - thanks for tuning in! Glad you’ve been enjoying the updates! I’ll totally take kiwi over poopy diaper any day, though I have been known to be a fan of the “stranger” terp profiles, poopy diaper is definitely not for me!
The solo cups and passive hydroponics with the cups/feeding underneath have been a lot of fun! I’m so surprised with how they’ve turned out - totally expected root rot - and would love to do a solo cup challenge someday! Lol.
Cheers,

Just a very quick update today, I’ve harvested the Sweet Afghani Delicious on April 2 (day 77). She smells of overripe banana peel. Really excited about the terps on this one, but a little bummed on trich coverage.
Here is a quick tent big picture photo taken this afternoon:
Cheers,

You have some fat budz and cool colors going on! Bananarama! Sounds good to me!

Don’t get too down till you try it @estab87 . The amount of trichomes present is not always a good indicator of potency. I’ve seen pictures of hemp dripping in trichs and had nuggs that where dry on trichs and got me higher than everything else. It’s a drag if your selecting for extract but if your smoking the flower it’s not as big a deal. Sounds delicious, I hope it cures nice for you.

Right!
I never even seen trichomes before I started growing!

Thanks @Budderton - I’d love to find a frosty pheno of this gal. It would make for a really tasty extract. But, you’re absolutely right.

Marshmallow Martian & Blue Microverse F5, two of the smaller plants in the tent (one is a squat plant and the other I stunted), finished drying after 10 days today, so I trimmed em up and jarred ‘em.
Marshmallow Martian
Really happy with the quality of the buds on the Martian, but being the one I stunted, the yield did suffer. Only 41g dry and trimmed from this plant which is a bit of a bummer, but on the plus side every bit of it dense and smokeable, even the small lowers are rock hard & frosty. The nose is straight up creamy grape candy. These are by far the frostiest and most dense auto buds I’ve grown:
Blue Microverse F5
These smell fantastic. So terpy. Old school blueberry cut by a heavy, heavy amount of pinene. She’s expected to be a smaller plant, and yielded about 70 grams. 50 I kept, trimmed & jarred to cure for smoking; 20 give or take, I tossed in the paper bag in my freezer of lowers that I keep to make hash. I took a tester Nug, and holy smokes, this as the kids would say “slaps” - I immediately felt tingly in my face, and the high is very, very euphoric.
More updates to come soon, best you you all,

CDLC S1 from @BasementBeans was trimmed up today and jarred after 9 days drying. The little 1 gallon cabbage pheno bush gave me 27.6 grams of nice dense buds, and another 17g of less dense buds that went into the hash bag in the freezer.
It’s nice how quick the dry goes (9-10 days vs 14-16 with my usual sized plants) by at 60/60 by with these smaller 1 gallon plants, appeals to my desire for immediate gratification lol.
Man, this stuff is rank in the best kind of way. I love Chemmy strains.
The Solo Cup CDLC and Jungle Love are in for 48 hours of darkness (playing with this some more) and will be hung to dry tomorrow.
Catch you all soon,

Well, the pup had me up really early this morning and the Sweet Afghani Delicious was right in the wheelhouse of bud moisture % to be taken outta the drying unit, trimmed and jarred.
I’m SO happy with both the yield and quality of bud in this plant. The 1 gallon pot yielded 45.82 grams of nice smokeable bud, and 7.8 grams of larfy lowers that went into the hash bag.
Top cola coming in at 9.03 grams:
Jarred and headed into the curing closet:
More updates soon

I haven’t really updated lately because the tent is looking pretty boring. Only 2 of the plants are left finishing along with 1 red solo cup. Strawberry Nuggets x Skywalker and Sour Crack, and the monster 3BOG x Mango Smile solo. I would imagine the two potted plants will both be harvestable by weeks end and have been flushing the SNxSkywalker with Maple Syrup for the past 5 days. Starting the flush on the Sour Crack tomorrow. 3BOG x Mango Smile has some time left.
Here’s a quick look at things today…

3BOGxMango Smile solo cup
Had to upload this photo for context on the size of this beast:
The blue solo cups in the corner are Copa Genetics Jelly Roll 77x GSD5 that I’m testing for them, which will be my outdoor plants for the summer.

CDLC solo cup is now dried & trimmed. Small yield (expected, it was a solo cup after all!), but easily the stinkiest plant of the bunch. It smells like a very classic Pink Kush with a little bit extra Chemdawg funk in there.
