Florida Ditch Weed: PINK Pheno (In ground):
THIS BRANCH IS ONLY 1/2 WAY UP THE 13foot tall plant!
FREAKING AMAZING UP CLOSE:
I’m so impressed with this cultivar that I took about 9 cuts from the base and am determined to make S1’s over the winter!!!

Wow, they have really stacked in a months time and very frosty! What kind of smells are you getting? Nice job on them.

Thanks @Tejas !
A floral citrus with elements of fruit so far from the pink expression; from the green it’s similar but heavier on the citrus.
This is from memory so I’ll do some rubs tomorrow when plucking the sinker-leaves and report with a fresh experience.
Between the two, the pink blows my mind which is why I’ve now started prob a 1/2 year project as I will not run 2x seed runs at the same time for risk of cross contamination and I have the Bohdi Yogi F2 to F3 run via open pollination for the spring co-op box coming up by the end of this month.
I’m hoping to do the reversal shortly after this and before March where I planned a F2 to F3 run of Strayfox’s F2’s of Bohdi’s Watermelon Hashplant… because I’m a sucker for fox-tailing beauties and holy shit is this frosty cultivar is one of them from every image I’ve seen!

@Tejas the green pheno smells like muted citrus with flowers in the background; but the pink pheno you can fully smell about 3-4 feet away from the plant… has strong citrus/orange/grapefruit notes and then you get a wall of… well “Pink”.
I can’t describe it any other way besides “it smells like what the colour pink should smell like”, sorta cotton-candy with hints of bubblegum?
The last plant I grew that had this particular note was Pink Cookies so

In 1991 I was growing Florida Ditch Weed in the neverglades, very strong wild sativa with citrus flavor profile. The strain later gained the name pink flamingo in southern Florida, It looks like you definitely got a derivative and certainly sounds legit, left unchecked some plants got up to 20ft tall but this was a bad thing as the flowering process made them fall over and rot. Any kind of strong storm would blow them over and they stank like a skunk going out to the club after two months of flowering. 
You got a great batch of seeds for sure, way to preserve the past and present for the Future. 
Have a great weekend @Pigeonman

And down comes the Florida Ditch Weed: Pink Eye of the Tiger Cut!
In the bin.
Plant left with main cola still attached for hand-trimming and larf for hash and to see how far this plant can go.
Main cola hanging to be hand-trimmed:
After trimming:
Washed and hanging to drip-dry overnight before going into the drying 2x2.
I had to bend this to wash it as it was too big for a 5 gallon bucket but I’m also to stubborn to cut it in 1/2! 
I also cut off another round of small bits in hopes of cloning and are soaking 12x rockwool cubes with Clonex solution with my 
… fuck all i need is 1 cut to root and I got this! 
All the best folks!!

Those are "sneak"y lol. OK. Bad pun. Think it should have said nuke missiles? I’ve smelled some equally dangerous Nike missiles back in my youth lol. I’d take my chances with the Nukes🤣

Hahaha, yeah its actually Nike missiles there were 2 types. Ajax and Hercules
I would have to look to see which ones were actually down here.
In Everglades natl park there are replicas and a tour you can take through an old missile base.

Project Pigeon - Wikipedia.
Interesting name, Nike Missile Base. Link Says it was the first guided missile, and surely it was the first to use computer tech…but I read about these rather primitive, yet clever “pigeon guided missiles” years ago. They were never used in combat but they were tested, with success. Basically, there was a t v screen inside the missile, along with an unfortunate pigeon. The pigeons were trained to peck at the tv screen in order to get food. They would peck at a picture of the food as far as I remember…and the pecking released actual food. If the TV screen food was on the left side of the screen, the pigeons would peck the left side of the screen and the missile would go left and if it was on the right side, the opposite. Poor pigeons don’t get the credit they desrve. They actually were the pilots of the first successfully guided missiles😁

There is a really cool solid rocket plant(abandoned). It was the largest solid fuel rocket ever tested(260"dia). Nasa then decided to go with liquid fuel and the plant closed. 3 tests were done there and sl2 rocket is still underground in the testing hole.

Awesome to ride out there on bicycles and see all the old buildings where the fuels were made, weighed, mixed, and pumped to the rocket to cure before testing.
