Strain review: Elphinstone (brain candy pheno) from Bodhi seeds

Since its Sunday, let's all just look at some pretty plant pictures for a minute.
This is a test strain run for Bodhi seeds that is either now or soon will be commercially available.
General Strain information
Genetics: Breeder Steve's Sweet Skunk clone x Appalachia (Green Crack x Tres Dawg
Flowering time: 10-12 weeks
Growing style: coco/drip drain to waste
Terpene profile: citrus/lemon/grapefruit/cleaner/skunk
Yield: above-average to extremely good
Stretch: 2-3x
The high is very much in the head, both mind expanding and day brightening, with lots of laughs and no couch lock feelings at all.


A total of five different females were grown from 11 seeds, all fit the above description, with variation mainly limited to the precise nature of the citrus in the plant, and the yield potential. Buds are formed in a flow style, gradually filling out into huge branch benders that will likely require some kind of support.
The reason I refer to this pheno as the brain candy pheno are because of not just its incredibly fun, cerebral, good time high, but also due to the fact that while growing it has an incredibly strong odor very similar to a pack of sweet tarts candy. In the end of flowering, and throughout the curing and drying process, she acquires a bit of skunky funkiness from the chem side of the family, but still retains an incredible sweet citrus candy taste and smell as her most identifiable terps. Yield is incredibly good on this phenotype, this one was grown under a 600w HPS that was shared with between 6-8 other plants. A second female extremely similar to this one was also found, but I just felt this one had a slight edge in the potency and smell/taste categories.  This is my second run with this specific cutting.
