Hey Mr. C!
I don't know why I find it so hard to keep up but I've caught up yet again.
Love the little Amnesia plant! Small plants don't bother me in the least, as long as they're in small pots! And she looks like a tasty specimen.
The Chocolope and GG both look outstanding. The Chocolope will be a hard act to follow but the GG looks like she could be give her a run.
And your next two autos are berry interesting picks.
You're killing it, distant relative!

Looking great so far. Is it gonna outgrow your indoor space?
I grew a BlackBerry Fire and a Blueberry Muffin my first year. My son and I would mix the two together and call it "black & blue". Was a great evening smoke.
That's a beauty!Now the outdoor Chocodope auto

Thanks, HH! But now it's just about time for a little stint in trim jail...
Great to see you, caught up or not! Hell, I'm so far behind I'll probably never catch up...and with Wednesday being the new "lil Nova" day, I'm not going to do much catching up today, either...
Hi, Stone- Thanks for stopping by!...
I think it's gonna try...She got her first taste of "the gray stuff" on Monday, and she's really going for it now...

Well, her time is finally up...today was Harvest day for the little Chocodope auto...
She was 82 days old, flowering for 61 (2 days shy of 9 weeks) Here's a couple of parting shots:
SaugaView®:
A Bud:
A lot of the leaves in the buds were starting to die, and she hardly drank anything since Monday,
so her time was definitely up- her buds are pretty dense, and I was starting to worry about bud rot,- I did find a bit of it, but only a few grams worth...
Anyhow...here's her little skeleton-
In the pans before trimming- there was only 4 or 5 popcorn buds on the whole plant (no thanks to me, I did no defoliating at all...)
And after...22.2oz wet (622 grams)- so apx. 5oz dry... not a record by any means, but doesn't seem too bad for a 12" plant
And, as usual, here's where she'll hang for the next 5 or 6 days...
She's got a different smell than most- like a freshly resurfaced road, or parking lot- a hot asphalt type smell- not a bad smell at all, just a little different than what I'm used to....
The trimming only took me about 2 hours, so it wasn't too bad...I used vinyl gloves this time, instead of nitrile or latex, and found out that pot goo doesn't stick to vinyl! Who knew..?
(everyone but me, probably...
)
And that's about it for this one- She was easy to grow, and fairly pest & PM resistant- I did find a few aphids, but only 20 or so on the whole plant.
I'd like to say a special Thank You to @BooWho2 , for the seed that grew this chunky little lady!
And to @BeezLuiz and @InTheShed for the harvest advice!
Thanks for Looking, I appreciate the support!
I hope everyone's week is going well, and please, be careful out there!

Congrats on the harvest Carcass! 
She was a little Popeye thing but man she paid off for her size.
She was a little Popeye thing but man she paid off for her size. Uh oh. You are supposed to help me figure out what she smells like. I keep going with pepper, but that’s so vague.just a little different than what I'm used to....
I noticed those gloves and was thinking they fit really well and was gonna ask. Vinyl. Who knew.
She sure turned out nice. Love that color, bet I’d like the smoke even more.
Are vinyl gloves that much better then an oil spray?
Gloves. I see many people using gloves. I’m still pretty old school I guess and still using vegetable spray oil on my hands and scissors.

Congratulations on the harvest of that cute little brute! Great looking colas no matter which way they point. And 5oz is a damn fine return for a 12" plant. 
From the pic it looks like those vinyl gloves might be powdered (at first I thought your hands were really dry!). Maybe that's why nothing is sticking to them?

Thanks, Boo, she sure did turn out nice!
Well, there may be a little pepper in that smell too- it's actually a hard one to describe- hot asphalt is just the first thing that came to mind when I gave her a good sniff, but there's more to it than that, just can't quite nail it down yet...
Thanks, Nev!
When you get done, just throw them away, so your hands don't have the pot stickiness or the smell
-the gloves don't get sticky at all...you could actually re use them if you wanted to...
Thanks, Shed! that extra 2 weeks really made a difference in her "fatness"
Not powdered, just cheap vinyl exam gloves- it's odd- after you use them, they're not sticky at all- I've always used nitrile, and they're a sticky mess by the time I'm done- hence the gooey camera....

Congrats carcass! It will never cease to amaze me how you grow such fattie buds every time.

I’m choosing to forget mine.I'd like to forget that one!
Nice haul on the Chocodope, Mr.C! She turned out to be quite a fatty.
Can you help me out?
I see nothing on the buds you said had rot that would concern me. Exactly what do you see that indicates rot. Please explain it to me like I'm a 5-year old.

Better luck next time for both of us! (although I guess yours is okay after all?)
Usually you'll see a few dead leaves coming out of the bud that look a little out of place, like all the leaves around those are healthy, but for some reason they're dying in that one spot- then you bend the bud open so you can see the inside- if it's brown or gray, and sort of fuzzy looking with a musty smell, all that gray or brown stuff is the rot- the stem will also seem soft and bendy in that spot.
I wish I'd of got a pic of it before harvest, but, sadly, I didn't...
edit* caterpillar damage looks about the same, but ther'll be caterpillar poop in there too...
@beez0404 gives a pretty good explanation in his comparative thread here:
420 Magazine's Official Girl Scout Cookies Comparative Grow By Beez0404
Those trichomes look pretty evenly cloudy, though I know you like a bit of amber in yours so I'm sure waiting a few won't send you off course. The yellow fans are really pretty, and those golf balls are so damn fuzzy!

Here's a pic of some more I found on the Chocodope -the brown stuff is the rot-sometimes it's grayish too:
Congrats on the harvest, Carcass! Looks like a good yield for such a small plant.
I think you and Boo just need to grow more of them in order to figure out what exactly it smells like.

I'm all for that! But I want the tall pheno next time around...
After it dries the rotted area will be "crumbly", - if possible, get it out of there, because you don't want to smoke it if you can avoid it ..
