Them ladies are lookin' purty :clap:
And about the change in smell, in my experience the smell of most strains will change as they progress through the flowering stage. Im assuming its because new terpenes (sp?) and terpenoids are still being developed, so you wont know what the final product will smell like until you near harvest (well, you wont really know until after the cure, but you'll get an idea near harvest)

I've even noticed the smell profile change after the cure. Example... World of Seeds Strawberry Blue smelled like onions thru flowering.. but after hang drying and hitting the jar.. Strawberry. Weird.

Agent Orange for the most part tho.. will stay Orange. lol.

Mine never smelled lemon. The more sativa pheno is dubbed the "whiskey sour" pheno.

WOW! Lookin EXCELLENT! But I am a lil envious about all the room you have to G-R-O-W! Subbed and "watching" ya, (but not in a creepy hovering way, tho.. :)).
 
The lemony smell is still there altho someone described it as just a strong citrus smell. The room smells heavy of oranges tho so no worries really. I'm planting my mothers now, I've read mixing about 30% supersoil with base soil will work well for mothers. I'm putting them in smaller pots at first cause I won't keep them all but what size pots does everyone use?

hey bro, your scene looks tight, nice work!
2-3 gal works good for moms, but you can get them going in 1's......
 
Well just got done planting my mother clones. Can't wait to see em get bigger. And today's beer of choice is one of my favorite's, Summer Shandy. Pretty damn good. Speaking of beer, I love to brew my own and have always wanted to mix in some bud. Has anyone ever made some Canna Beer? I think I'll try it, this next harvest.

Had some time yesterday so I thought I would make some BHO(Butane Honey Oil). Wasn't too bad, used some triple filtered King Butane. Made it with the shake of my last harvest. It smokes great what can I say best tasting stuff ever.

I've never tried it myself, but a guy on a homebrewing forum i used to be a member of replaced half of the hops in his recipe with an equal amount of bud. But he got banned before he finished it (i guess some people frown upon marijuana use...) so idk how it turned out. Might be worth a try though!
 
Here is an update at day 38. Looking great all super frosted.

Decided to build my drying/curing room inside my grow room. Is this a bad idea as long as my temperature and airflow are fine? Just works well to put it inside instead of out, will be putting up netted cloth shelving to lay the buds on.

I had my girlfriend come give all the plants a good wiff, cause I can't smell, and her report was that I have one Super Lemon, 3 Sour Whiskeys and 3 Oranges. Within the oranges are 3 separate smells. One is very sweet, one is a super orange and the last orange has the weakest smell of any of the plants. But I trust her nose. She said the Lemon pheno smells like strait lemon heads and wants me to keep that one lol. After really seeing the differences, I have shifted my favorite plant from the short Sour Whiskey to a taller larger yielding Orange. The super orange I mentioned is my favorite. She had early bud development, and the difference is noticeable in bud size.

Lastly, I usually use a microscope to view trichome color as a key indicator as when to harvest. What have you guys found to be the best ratio of amber to cloudy in Agent Orange? Or maybe you have some other cool way of telling. Please share.

I thought some inspirational Agent Orange shots might be in order :)
Sub - thank you for this great strain, I've got three distinct phenos at day 64 right now, I started flushing two weeks ago and leaves are all yellowing / purpling nicely but the buds, especially colas still shooting out foxtails and I have to work really hard to find any amber trichs, about 30% of the hairs are still white, should I go ahead and plan on cutting? Thanks again, this has been a pleasure.

how did things end up? Any advice on trich color for harvesting? I would really like to cut mine and avoid any potential mold but I'm at 64 days and have almost no amber.

I believe it depends on the type of high you want. You can harvest when all the trichcomes are cloudy, wait till there are some amber or lot more amber, I believe the more amber the more of a couch lock type/body high you get. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone?

And yeah Madscientist let us know how this all came out, really interested in what you found to be your best pheno.
