Last update on the Race to the Mountaintop challenge between @PopAndSonGrows and myself.

First off, these seeds were gifted to me by aliencat420. The seeds were given to him by Nat. There's no question about this. What there is a question about is what exactly we were running.
Both Popandsongrows and my plants were nearly identical in phenotypes. His description of terp profile fits mine closely. Having said that, there are anomalies then and now that present questions.
The first being this freakish fan leaf from popandson:

The second being the second Mountaintop Mint bean I popped:

Having said that, here is the haul on our friendly competition, details can be found here in jonnynobdy's post:


I walked away with roughly 106 grams after a two week dry. I'd already smoked 7 grams by the time I did the actual weigh but didn't add that to compensate for any residual water weight.

PopansSonGrows total dry weight was 79 gms. We both pulled at 70 days but I feel mine could have gone another 10 days easily. I'd say 75-80 days is the sweet spot for this one.

The nose on mine is rubber/burnt rubber with hints of sweet skunk. Definitely no mint whatsoever but there is a "grassy" freshness to the inhale.
The profile is almost identical to the Freakshow I ran earlier last year but..

It's better. Like way better. It's difficult to describe. There's a lot going on here. The more it cures, the more of a profile becomes present. I'm starting to get faint hints of berry-ness on mine but it's mostly a cool burnt-rubber.

Bonus Hella Jelly:

People can say what they want about HSC but I will definitely be running their gear regularly. I like the company and what they represent and so far their stuff has been pretty on point except the MTM and let me tell you, I'm not complaining.

:peace:
Thanks great read.

Nice write-up mein.

I gotta say, your MTM is waaaaaay more fragrant than mine. I broke up a couple bowls worth of urs, went and did some stuff and i could easily smell it across the house. Mine isn't so loud.

Hmm... Seems like some freak show pollen snuck in...
What's funny is that trait is not easily heritable; people have tried doing open pollination for f2s on supafreak and the male offspring had the leaves but none of the females did. It seems like it's not the easiest thing to pass on on accident.

For future buyers, I put my order on chitownseeds, there is free shipping on orders over 80, but you have to select it, it automatically defaults to 10$ shipping, and under it is where you select free shipping. In a rush I didn't read it, and could've saved on shipping. Has anyone grown Dream Queen (Feminized) from them? How was your experience, is there anything to look out for, I'll be mainlining it for 16-32 colas outdoors in ground, in zone 7a/b. Also how does their dream queen compare to their Apple Blossom? Dream Queen is my absolute favorite strain, it's a creeper euphoric sativa high, with light pain relief. This is my second grow ever, thanks for any advice
I haven't grown the dream queen, but my apple blossom (sample size of 1) last season was a pretty modern hybrid: balanced high (maybe slight sativa lean, not sedative), fast flowering, chunky bud structure. It sounds like DQ is a yielder and so was mine. Sweet, floral, honeyish smell.

Essentially, i'm getting the smell you want and you're getting the density I want. Need to find the sweet spot.

Gorilla Breath is a Humboldt Seed Organization strain. Confusing, I know. Humboldt Seed Org is based in Europe and uses "Humboldt/American" genetics, while Humboldt Seed Company is based in Eureka, California and uses Humboldt genetics[without the quotes].

Here's a post on the Gorilla Breath from HSO. Good luck and happy growing :peace:

Someone is plying me with HSC gear. I'll really be going to town with my Blukakke now that I have the VF beans to eff with. I'm popping a Poddy Mouth tonight and the wife likes her "rare" Jelly Rancher shirt. The Poddy Mouth and Pistachio are from the man himself so we'll see how many freaks I get this time.
And thanks to aliencat420 for making it happen
I am excite!

Just popped 7 different HSC strains, they were the fastest seeds I've ever had germinate. Literally 24 hours after "soaking" them, all had popped taproots. Looking forward to seeing how this years run turns out. I know it's a little early, but, I didn't want to put "seedlings" outside this year, I want Plants headed for my boxes in the Swamp!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, that's some variety! I've had my plants outdoors for around 14 days now. I'm doing a spring flower, starting them outdoors at the end of January gives them enough time to finish within a week or so of the solstice (12/12), so the light cycle will permit flowering. We don't really have to worry about strong wind, hard rain, or frost.

I started 14 earlier, gave 2 to a neighbor, and 2 died (my own mishandling, overwatered them young). They were re-started but were not fast enough to plant so they'll go until summer (a raspberry parfait and a pistachio).

The other 10 are in the ground. 2 Hi-biscus, 2 blueberry cupcake, 2 lemongrass, 2 vanilla creme pie, 1 pistachio, and 1 raspberry parfait. PXL_20220205_005742740.jpgPXL_20220205_005810326.jpg

NICE!!!!!!! I REALLY wish I could throw some in my boxes in the "Swamp" but we just got 12" of snow, so guess that's out of the question, LOL
Really looking forward to this season, hopefully the weather is better than last year for us, it was downright miserable, way too wet, hell, I only had the cars out of the garage 3 times in July because it pretty much rained the whole month.
Looks like your going to have a good "crop" come in before mine even hit the boxes, LOL
Good luck with your grow, and enjoy some tasty smoke GlassJoe!!!!!!!!

Jelly Rancher comin' thru with the Red Vines terpenes. So amazing.
Looks resinous and healthy, but a bit leafy. We were forced away from hand trimming so maybe these leafy strains won't matter as much in a trim machine. In a previous post I think you stated "jelly rancher/Hella Jelly." Maybe I misunderstood or read. Are they the same strain with different names? Thx

Jelly rancher was the strain name when it was released, but it got the same treatment as Gorilla Glue and was renamed Hella Jelly to avoid trademark infringement disputes with the Jolly Rancher candy brand.
