Had to rearrange things.Those big buds scare me.There is more airflow to the back of the tent,#2 will do fine in the new airstream.
The buds on #2 are fluffyish right now.Im hoping they stiffin up in weeks to come.
I'm optimistic but,the way they are forming isn't conducive to hard nuggage.We'll see.

Couple more shots.#1 is in front now.View attachment 4280900 View attachment 4280901 View attachment 4280902 View attachment 4280903 Until next week my peoplezz.

Did you do any training with your DDS? Useful do you have any experience in training the DDS or anything your recommend?

@Useful Seeds I have an off the wall question, have you or @Schwaggy P ran across or have Love Potion #1?

On average, you'll get 5 fems from a 10-pack of regs. So, speaking as a grower who doesn't do any chucking, I would buy the 5 packs for strains I want to try, and 10 packs of fems for any strains I want to pheno hunt.

In that 5 pack you might end up with all males too.

I'd have to go back and look, but I thought the 5 pack talk was for fems.

Sorry Baq, I haven't had Love Potion #1.

This is my first run of DDS from seed.They will be trained next run,topped,pruned & defoliated.
I'd recommend topping the DDS at least once and some defoiliation(I strip pretty hard in veg and some in flower,didn't do it this run because I wanted to see the strain au natural) to allow the laterals to all even out.Appears the branches thus far don't have any issues holding up their own bud weight,no support needed thus far.
They have a nice open structure to allow good light penetration to the lowers.Internodal distance checks the boxes,allowing for airflow and nuggage building.

The #2 looks to lean more to the Chocolate Diesel than the #1 is leaning to the Chocolate Covered Strawberries. The form of the flowers of #2 are very similar to the flowers of the ChocoD.

I have not had Love Potion # 1 , But I did have Love Potion #9 and I didn't know if it was day or night, I started kissing everything in sight !! Sorry I couldn't resist. lol

I have not grown the DDS, but the Chocolate Covered Strawberries F2 mother of that cross responds well to topping. So if you were to pull a CCS leaning plant from the DDS, she would probably respond similarly.

Agreed.Going by your examples this exactly what I am seeing.CCS leaner looks to be the quick pheno as Useful stated earlier when I asked about finish times.Definitely quicker than #2 CD leaner looks like she wants to get it in for a bit longer.
May be an 11 weeker(of full flower).I'm subtracting 9 maybe 10 days from the final flowering time.To get a rough estimate of actual flower.

@Schwaggy P how is choco diesals' bud density in the crosses or phenos you have experience with.
Thanks in advance.

It's from the early 60's song Love Potion #9 by The Searchers.

Both the Chocolate Diesel and Chocolate Covered Strawberries are more of a medium density, not fluffy, but not hard as a rock.

I know the song. I wanted to see you "kissing every thing in site".

This is #2 of my DDS thru and thru! Does that sour apple carry over into the smoke for you? I'm not sure yet but that cleaner has some gas to it now.nI'll put the ol sniffer to the test @lights on.

I agree with Useful about the density of the two. I think the Chocolate Diesel may look fluffy because she seems to never stop putting on weight. So new levels of white hair and unswollen calyxes sitting on top of the more mature flower can give her that look.

Thank you useful. If the choc d leaner doesn't hurry up and settle(stop stacking...right who asks for buds to STOP stacking) I'm gonna have to play Dr. and do bud seperation.
I'm not complaining either.Maybe fluffy wasn't the correct term.According to her she hasn't begun to show me what she has to offer.
She's still puffing her chest out not knowing she already has my attention.

Yup,well said.I admittidly used the wrong wording.Not to dissuade anyone from considering this fine speciman.

That electric sour smell is coming from the Chocolate Diesel, the Chocolate Covered Strawberries is more of a dark cocoa powder dusted strawberries smell. If both of your DDS have the electric sour smell, then it may be the more electric terp profile dominating the cross. Popping the rest of the pack to see how the terp variance plays out would give a better idea on that front.
