Hey everyone, Happy Memorial day!
Today makes day 32 of flowering in my Sour Grapes seed project and things are looking spectacular so far. As of Friday (day 29)
The female Sour Grapes:
Well there are 4 nice female sour grapes going full flowering and they are looking absolutely amazing and covered with frost.
Phenotype #7
The tallest female, the one that flowered late really has tiny bud formation, I mean very very small buds and wont be much of a producer most likely. I love the structure of the plant, and the trichomes are definitely medium heavy on this one. The terps are of a sweet artificial grape smell, and probably a 5 out of 10 on the strength scale. Overall I will have to wait and see how this one finishes. It definitely has quite a few seeds developing and very tall strong structure, just very tiny buds.
Phenotype #4:
This phenotype is the 2nd tallest female, and both this pheno, and #7 are about 1' taller than the other 2 females. Phenotype #4 so far is an amazing pheno, in both bud size/growth, trichome formation, plant/bud structure and overall is definitely a keeper phenotype thus far. The terpenes on this one are about a 7 or 8 out of 10 in strength and have a very grape juice/grape cotton candy smell, very sweet, appealing and makes your sweet tooth start salivating. I am definitely happy about this phenotype and so far this is a rival for best phenotype.
Phenotype #1:
Phenotype 1 is one of the 2 shorter females and both shorter females have just about the same growth traits, same structure and same bud size. Trichomes are covering the buds and sugar leaves and definitely this plant has all the desirable traits, except for the terpene strength right now is not very strong. The terpenes I would say are about a 5 of 10 in terms of strength, but they do have a sweet artificial candy grape smell to them, similar to the others, just not as strong, and its harder to get a smell when you do a bud rub or leaf brush with your fingers when compared to the others. Nothing wrong with this phenotype and but I would probably select either #4 or
Phenotype #6:
This phenotype is short, just like phenotype #1 and has exact same growth traits. Both are tigher, bushier and shorter but loved to be topped and created very nice uniform buds and a solid trunk/structure which doesn't need much support. Great structure on these 2 and although much shorter than Pheno 4, the bud size seems to be about the same. Terp strength on this one rivals pheno 4 and I would give them a 7 or 8 out of 10 in strength. The terps on this one also are very grape smelling but almost smell a little cherry as well, and with a cheese type smell, like a grape/cherry cheesecake smell. Very delicious smelling but not as sweet and artificial grape as Pheno 4. Both pheno 4 and pheno 6 have the same amount of frost and both right now are rivals for best phenotype.
