Hi there @Sunnyvale
The aromas from San's Raspberry Truffle f2 are a little different from those on the AHxCR.
(by the way I have to say it my gf just called out to me from the living room saying something smelled like cat piss. Then she came the the back room and I said, pointing at my drying plants, "Are you sure it's not from these?" She was like "Oh wow, those smell AMAZING!")
The ones I have, and basically all three are very close in nose... are more of a ripe papaya or concord grape. There's something sharp about their aroma - almost a cat-piss, but not. Acrid grape, perhaps. Maybe some sour cherry. They truly smell amazing, and the whole house is filled with this amazing aroma. They're also just recently cut so the aromas will change, of course. I think the sharpness will mellow. I really like the Rhaspberry Truffle.
Anyway, the AHxCR is more of a sweet smelling raspberry. Fruity... for sure red berries. They are close in comparison, just by smell alone you can tell that they're related. But structurally, they are very different. I still have the AHxCR mom I used for the f2s. I still grow her out, as well as f2s. I'm still amazed at how different she can be in different environments. These plants want to get big.
The Rhaspberry Truffles are short and stocky, making them very manageable. They're just really nice plants .I'm going to pick one of the three I have, maybe two, and run like 8 of them. I really like their size and structure. I think it'll be cool to SOG them.
And doing the repros is very much an honor. I feel blessed to be a part of getting them out. I hope people will make their own crosses - play around with them. e$ko put together amazing crosses. He has such a keen sense. Very talented. And San has done an amazing job on making them available again. He also has real talent. This tribute is a very cool thing. It's about carrying on the work that e$ko did so that y'all can partake :)
