Thanks for sharing. Now you’re making me wanna get Terpenado too lol
thanks so much for your input cant wait to see what the smoke report is lmao.
and i'll still pull the trigger it sounds like a terpenado x Strawberry goji chuck would be awesome then. which one would u make the father ?
I must admit i wasn't a fan of this strawberry powder milk smell on most of other terpenado pheno, that was why i don't keep other clone. Two years ago i tried this clone out, i put it in my greenhouse with a good 400L smart pot, but it didn't end very well...
Vigor was so low on this pheno, during the original selection the first cuttings didn't root, so i took another cuttings at 4-5 week of flo. Only one make it, and it needs a few month to fully reveg, of course all the new stem start from the flower's pistil so the base was like a ball where all the stems started. When i put this plant outside in his smart pot, she has a lot of secondary, all coming from the base, but she was fully reveg and healthy with perfect leaf. She grow nice at start, but after a few times she just stop her growth. Even in flower, she produce decent buds, but still she doesn't stretch at all. When i saw this i just put another plant in the greenhouse in 50L pot. In fact with a perfect growth she should had invade all the greenhouse, instead she stays small, around 2 meters in circumference.
I loved to go in that greenhouse, if your skin or cloth touch a bud, it keeps this incredible strawberry smell for hours. When i was in my room watching a movie at night, i often put the cloth or my arm that touch the plant next my nose and keep smelling it during all the duration of the movie... hell it was so good. I said it was strawberry jam because it was a very warm and full of sugar strawberry smell, but with this little spiciness / astringent (hard to describe) thing that was exactly like a cooked strawberry.
The plant produce around 450g i think and i could make some very good hash. But when i cut the plant i investigate further. In fact the plant have some kind of insect nest in her big "ball" base that slowly make a big cavity, eating the xylem and phloem. That was the reason why she stop growing...
Also as i said she can smell incredible in flower, taste wasn't there when smoked. Really this is the curse of every strawberry i tried.
After that i didn't kept the clone because it was obvious this plant need to be cross with something to increase the vigor and try to have this taste more present in the smoke. However here in france it's too hard for me to get the time and space to do a cross.
I find this plant in one pack of terpenado, so with a little pheno hunt of 2-3 pack it should be easy to find something close and i hope better. In fact with everything i grew the last few years, this terpenado pheno is my biggest regret. I still have some pack of other thing in the fridge to finish, but when it's done their is two project i want to do. First is growing some terpenado again and find this pheno, maybe to cross it with my strawberry goji keeper. The second project would be to grow again some black raspberry seeds to find another keeper so i can start a f2 (and more i hope). Story is when i grew this one pack of terpenado and i also grew a pack of black raspberry in the same box, but stupidly I don't keep a clone of my keeper of BR this time, so a year later i start two pack of BR to find a keeper, and the pheno i kept is incredible and is for me my best selection ever. But the BR pheno i didn't kept the first time was excellent and different enough from my actual keeper to make me thing the line could do incredible thing with a little digging.
