I'm terrible at describing flavors, especially subtle ones. But a strong lemony skunk funk. One pheno had a strong hint of cheese as well.

OP, your plants are looking good. Here is a tool for deciding when it's safe to go outside. The one drawback to the early flowering strains is that you have to wait until later in the spring to put them outside.

Giving the old batch of SS a mix with a couple blocks of coconut coir. Have a few more weeks to let it sit before the ladies can come outside. This soil serves me well in 20 gallon smart pots. Its base is 8 Coast of Maine lobster compost, 2 peat and compost, 3 cobscook blend, and a bale of promix. Then I have two happy frog soil conditioner, one bag of FFOF, 2 bags cow manure, and a few bricks of coconut. Eventually I get around to add the oyster shell flour, gypsum, earth castings, neem seed meal, shrimp meal, fish bone meal, azomite, primal plant food, kelp meal, garden lime, composted chicken manure, turface, corse perlite, vermiculite, alfalfa meal. I use mykos, orca, and a biofungicide. I use essential 1-0-1 when watering, molasses as the end of season!

Hello fellow New Englander! Watching this post. We got 80 degrees yesterday in MAINE. (it was 20 degrees two weeks ago, wtf)
My babes are going out soon too, probably bring them inside in the evening and back under the grow lights until morning until after memorial day when I know schizo mother nature isn't going to freeze at night.

I've found getting them out early, even if you need to tent them for frost protection, induces flowering, essentially monstercropping the plant as it reverts to veg. I've noticed if they go out mid may I end up with shorter, more bushy, plants than if the go out early April, when they grow taller and more Xmas tree like.

Be careful putting your plants out on a 80 degree day and thinking it is a good thing. You will sunburn them and the wind will shock them. Best day to put your plants out to acclimate to the outdoors is a warm rainy/misty day. Dont be fooled by one warm day. The ground is still cold. Probably still frozen 3' down.
Ask your neighbor who has been gardening when they put out their tomatoes and peppers. If they say mid-May is the safe date you better believe them. Rookies replant their gardens because they thought they knew better than people who have been gardening longer than they have been alive. Resist the urge to plant early. Now, is the time to dig the soil and add amendments so they have a chance to incorporate.

No worries! I'm a pretty advanced outdoor gardener of other things. I wouldn't dream of just plopping plants out on one freak day. They would fey to a crisp.
You have to go slow to acclimate plants from growing indoors. Up here in Maine, rule of thumb is not to plant tender annuals until after Memorial day, such as tomatoes etc. Don't worry, I know how to grow plants. I'm third generation of farmer stock lol.

Nice start man. Hopefully you don't run into any issues putting them out early, I start may 15th. We put them out around 420 one year and I think they tried to flower. Curious to see how well they do. They are a good size and look great

The ones on the right are outdoor stains, everything on the left are a mystery! These things are hungry and I just don't want to burn them with too much fert
