Ive had my hands super full, but I did end up chopping these ladies on Day60, which was definitely early now that ive questioned my actions. #1 was 80% cloudy with 10% amber while #2 was roughly 70% cloudy with 5% amber. I got super impatient and got carried away, live and learn. Next time I'm waiting a week from the point of thinking theyre ready.
By no means will it ruin this harvest, but i know i will push the clones a bit further. Speaking of the clones.... my noob self decided to flower them when they were in the middle of reveg. Big fail. However I have some 4th-week flower cuttings from the 2 phenos that I will be filling the tent with soon. It will be a process to get the clones to reveg, but it will be worth it.
Excuse the bad pics of the harvest. I was more focused on harvesting the ladies lol
In 5 days or so, Ill be going to trimjail before throwing it in grove-bags! Then a minimum of 2-3weeks of curing :)
Ive been keeping the drying conditions from 55-63% RH and 62-67°F. Ive noticed so far that #1 is much more terpy and loud than #2. Hopefully #2 gets back some nose in the cure. The fan-leaves of #1 smell like tropical punch after the 9 day dry. Yum

Today marks Day9 of cure for #1 and Day8 of #2. I plan on trying a tiny bit of the flower on day14 to see how much longer I need on each strain. #1 is still loud n sour tropical-punch heavy while #2 is developing a sweet, gassy nose with a hint of lemon. Of course, this nose report is coming from the TRIM, since I sealed the bags for the actual flower.
Final weight of #1 is 58g and #2 is 74g. Unfortunately it looks like #2 did get seeded a bit from the pollen explosion. Not many mature seeds though, and not more than a dozen seeds on the plant(that i could see). #1 also had a premature seed or two, and also had a single banana coming out of the lowest branch's top-bud.
@Tater3333, I'm just expecting a few beans now at the least. Hopefully she doesnt get fully seeded. Herm was directly next to both xxx ladies, OF COURSE... Ive still got 3-4 weeks left, so we will see... removed the one pollen-sac i could find, but it already dropped pollen. This herm lady had a male-parts grow inside of female calyx. Tricky mofo. I plucked most of them, but there will always be that one....
My xxx#2 smells more acidic and gassy but still fruity, but my #1 is full on fruit punch with tropical vibes. XXX seems very stable though, as far as intersex traits go.
@Hotcrossbuns, oh no..So your thoughts are it will herm the rest? I had that happen on 10th planet but it never got to the rest of the girls. Hope it all works out for ya! Im getting closer to that smell....
@Hotcrossbuns, I can see the end game gene is strong, they are very nice looking. I have 5 clones going from mine, I grabbed them early and just brought them along in cottage cheese tubs. No topping but they are kicking right along. Hoping for a big ole pineapple shaped cola on the top. 😊
