My final followup: (Ethos Mandarine Sunset x BOG Sour Grape)As a followup..The Mandarin Sunset was very terpy and tasty, but not that potent, so I pushed my luck and chucked some BOG Sour Grape Pollen on her to see. (one branch)
ALMOST got what I wanted in smell, and increased size, but her offspring is in week 6 now and throwing naners like crazy. There is currently nothing in her tent that should be affected, so I try and pluck them off daily.
If it gets worse, she will get El Chopo!!

Well, for some reason she stopped throwing naners after a week of hell. I let her finish and TBH..the smells/high/yield and taste are just what I had hoped for (got lucky..LOL).....More Strawberry then Orange, and no real taste/smell of grape from the BOG Sour Grape dad. The rosin is outstanding, and after only a few days curing (still very high humidity); the rosin yield was a bit over 24% on a single press! This was on the new Dabpress 4"x7" plate unit (12 ton, but maximum pressure used was 4.5 tons) at 220d F for about 120+ seconds (I pressed a 20 gram pre-pressed puck, which took a bit longer). Preheated the puck for about 45 seconds, and then..smashed!
Would I grow my ETHOS x BOG cross again?..MOST DEFINITELY!
PS..This thing is massive..with a capital M!
It is almost identical to their 3x5 unit..just on a bigger scale (12 ton ram- 10 ton pump) with much more capacity.
it is a different learning experience though. Took me a few tries to press 20 grams today (at once, no bag) ..next week, will smash an ounce at once!
