I love that fresh tennis ball smell. I feel like seabird guano and fishbone meal really help bring it out. just sayin ;P
Ive had a few strains smell lime straight black pepper too, look out they ALL turned straight fruit by the end, mango smell mostly. But i predict the pepper the ones turn.fruity.I have 6 female SSDD from seed @38 days into flower right now and the overpowering smell I get is sweet fruit as well. I am guessing this comes from the Bubbashine mom which has DJ shorts blueberry in its lineage. Judging by looks alone I would say I have 3 distinct phenos but the only smell that is recognizable to me is the fruit. One of the other phenos smells a bit like black pepper. My sense of smell has never been that great and I did a shitload of coke in the 90's which I'm sure doesn't help. I am always jealous when folks can go into great detail about the smells coming off their plants, for me mostly its just "wow that shit smells dank!"
Surgical removal can be avoided. Try practicing scoring your seeds first on an emery board or sand paper pre germination. If that does not work then you can lightly mist the casing with water from a hand sprayer. The helmet just falls off without playing surgeon.Right now I'm soaking tha last of my femmed seeds (th- seeds mk ultra X bubblegum) feminized seeds have always been a challenge for me in that I always get ones that the hull don't split & fall away like it should requiring tweezers& toothpick surgery & if you break the little white tap- root you're screwed then you have the first set of leaves I think they're called catydons or something like that they more often than not are stuck together & in need of being separated or you're first set of real leaves can't develop rarely do I run into these problems with non- femmed gear I see the pics of those 3 dank sinatras popping up just like they should makes me seriously think I'm about done with feminized seeds & if possible getting seeds that originate here & are sold here avoiding international flight & X-Ray scanners & electronic devices might increase vitality just my thoughts on feminized seeds I've ran non feminized stuff from tga, sannie,ggg & my own with a lot fewer problems
Lol i have become quite the surgeon. Should prolly work.on retiring that practiceSurgical removal can be avoided.

My calyxes r super pointy and ill have to check.the.trichs,

I feel u on that one!! I smoke cigs. NOT proud of it. But it does affect my smell! Ive quit before, and planning another quit soon (as always) but i have a hard time putting a word to what im smelling. I find myself saying " awe man that fucking smells soooo goood, wtf does that smell like, its right on the tip of my tongue but cant fig it out. Dave come here, what does this smell like to you?"

Interesting, this fruity one didnt smell like this a week ago. Morphed rapidly to the fruit. This strain seems to do this severly. One of my other ssdd right now smells like piss garlic and pepper right now, also didnt smell like this before. Shit stinks lol i hope that smell changes cuz i dnt like it really. But im using guano teas so i think thats another factor that may be morphing these smell profiles so severely!! But whateves, they can do what they want i dnt mind. I like a variety of smell/flavors!!Ive had a few strains smell lime straight black pepper too, look out they ALL turned straight fruit by the end, mango smell mostly.

I read that polyploids are steril!! Thats a game changer!!! Being able to chuck w/o seeding yr main crop, to me = priceless!!Yeah , that's the super freak!
Dank Sinatra going into the veg cab this morning.
Ive had a few just totally morph. My ssdd startred with orange berry smell then recently (week 6.5) has developed into a berry lemon creamy breadlike smell. Idk its one of those thinkers, but sweet creamy dough lol.I feel u on that one!! I smoke cigs. NOT proud of it. But it does affect my smell!

HOLY CRAPE! Thats a mess!
Lol ya thats the last time i use a 5 gal bucket lol!! Foamed more than i thot it would this time. Sometimes i can get away w it. 5gal is eaier to clean. But on to the 25 gal trash can. Then dilute into the 50gal. The smell of this shit is amazing tho!! And i say shit because thats whats in it, literally! Opps i mean "guano". Prob the molasses that smells good tho!. Best smelling "shit" ive ever smelledHOLY CRAPE! Thats a mess!
Excellent tip!! Thank you!Steel is right. You dont want that foam. A few drops of canola oil or I guess Neem never tried the latter. It prevents foaming keeping your air exchange tip top.
No Problemo! Have you read through Microbeman's info site yet? Everything anybody knows about teas comes from there...Excellent tip!! Thank you!
It can just be the luck of the draw sometimes. But it never hurts to look at improving your techniques.Just popped a pack of Goji OG. Had 9/11 germ and looks like 1 of those 9 has stalled out and died. So that leaves me 8/11 viable seedlings. Is that par for the course? Seems like I see people that get 11/11 germ rates. Not sure if my rates are average or if I need to look at improving some aspect of my germination techniques.
