Okay its day 36 of flower and the smell is really starting to open up. When I enter the room or brush up against the plants, I smell skunk. When I touch the buds and smell my hands, I smell spearmint. Only being about half way through I think these are just begining to stink and I'm going to have to beef up my ordor control.
This is plant #1, the least damaged of the lot. The bud devolopment looks pretty good only being 5 weeks in, with 5 to 7 weeks to go.
This is one of the topped plants and Ive taken pics to show the two dom colas.

I scoped out the buds on plant #2 and the buds on the next teir down from the main cola are done. About 65% to 75% cloudy trichs with about 1 or 2% amber coming in. I always do a 2 or 3 part harvest when I have enough healthy green leaves on the plant to keep the buds growing. The lower "popcorn" buds get much bigger with this method and thus my yeild goes up.
Having said that, this plant isnt really healthy enough to take it as long as I would like. But, I dont want the buds getting too much amber in them so I will start cutting the "ripe " buds today.
The health of this plant really hurt the yeild and I'm guessing that I wont get more then 2- 2.5 zips from this one. Here are some pre-harvest pics, and some after harvest picks. I got 175.5 wet g's so far.

Method Smoked:
Joints, glass pipes and vape.
Soil/Hydro:

SMELL-
When you run over a fresh Skunk in your car, the smell is so strong its like burning rubber before the more familiar skunk smell settles in. Thats how this smells.
Dominant smell of bud:
Burnt Rubber/Fuel/Skunk
Associated smells of bud:
Earthy-skunk, skunk, and skunk.
TASTE-
Dominant flavor:
Fuel/Burnt Rubber/Skunk
Associated flavors:
Spearmint/pine
Harsh/smoothness: (1-10, 1 being extremely harsh and 10 being extremely smooth) --
8
- Cough factor? : Yes/no ---
Yes- This smoke is thick and it expands.
BUZZ-
Light up and watch the wallpaper move all by itself. This stuff is very trippy but it also has a couch lock like feeling when overdone. When used sparingly this is motivational pot but only for one task at a time, dont bother trying to multitask, it isnt happening. I did a wake and bake and went out in public and I felt like I did back in High School. My eyes were so heavy and everything looked so fuzzy that it felt like everyone had to know I was baked. It was fun!
How I rate potency-
I try to rate potency based on what type of Pot it is Sativa or Indica, couch lock or energetic, etc.
I gave the Cindy a 9.5 based on it being the most energetic pot Ive ever grown. I rate the SD the same 9.5 but it is by far a more stony smoke then the Cindy. It hits way harder and is more trippy but not as energetic. Hope this makes sense.
Profile
Potency: (1-10, 1 being extremely weak and 10 being extremely potent)
9.5
Duration: (approx length of buzz, from first hit)
2-5 hrs
Use: Daytime/Bedtime --
Mostly bedtime but nice in the day when you have nothing to do. Take 2-hits for day time use, 4-hits or more for night time use.
Munchies: Yes/no----
Yes and then some.
Comments-
Out of all the Greenthumb gear I have grown this is my favorite by far. Not as energetic as the Cindy but way more trippy, a perfect combo of sativa/indica effects, I like this one very much. This SD is as good or better then any Ive smoked through the years. I cant remember any SD that was better, but I can remember a lot that wasnt as good, like the stuff I got a few months ago form a local dispensary. Not even close.
The smell and taste is so strong that it cant be taken anywhere without stealth measures being used. Be careful to not transfer the sticky smell from fingers to jars or baggies when transporting it or the smell will be out of control. After harvesting them, the smell on my Caregivers clothes woke his wife up from a dead sleep.
When looking at the trichs with a scope, there are a lot, but not more then anything else Ive grown. However, when dried, the buds seem to become one big trich, its hard to explain but these buds seem to snap when broken- like it was made of crystal. Its not over dry just perfect. The smoke is thick and pungent, perfect for joints or pipes and not bad in the Vape either.

Final Comments-
The strongest best smelling and tasting of the Doc Greenthumb strains I have grown out so far. Supper-Super Skunk/fuel taste and smell- Beef up the odor control for this one.
Medical qualities:
Great for pain relief, appetite, and depression. I vaped some last night on a high temp because I had bad back pain and it was like a wave of warmth passed over me and I slept like a baby.
I will continue to test for other medical qualities.
Peace-DG
