Thank you, Sofa - for such a compact lady, she has produced some nice flowers, in my humble - and very inexperienced - opinion.
At my very light-weight rate of consumption - I'd hazard to guess she has produced darn near a years worth of bud for me - and it sure looks like it will be probably the best quality bud I will have sampled (based purely on the "frostiness quotient" - though the proof, of course, will be in the pudding!).
I think thats what has surprised me the most - she exudes very little smell. All the reading I had done on the Hobbit purported that this strain to be quite strong, on an olfactory scale - but this wee Hobbit really is not.
Its worth pointing out, though - that this particular Wee Hobbit really doesn't resemble other grows of this strain that I've looked at - including the one that Aridbud posted pictures of in this thread's first page.
Looking at the strain lineage on seedfinder, though - its easy to see how there would be the odd throwback pheno - the Hobbit really is a mix of some pretty iconic genetics!

Touch a bud, though - and the smell is released. Its definitely a musty/musky smell - with definite undertones of smokey wood - much like Applewood chips in a smoker. But definately not a "sweet - strawberry - ginger ale" odour. I'm already curious as to what springs forth from the other Hobbit seeds that accompanied this one in the packet - but theres a "Think Different" and a "Mig 29" bean that will follow behind the "Black Cream", before another Hobbit goes into the ground!
Thanks for checking in, Sofa - and for your kind words.

Thank you for answering my question bro! Subbed 
Ha ha - I'm hoping not too dangerous, SM!
Steelhead fishing season is approaching and the rivers will be high and very, very cold - to say nothing of the wolves and cougars that are hungry and constantly on the hunt, at that time of the year (not that I worry for myself - but my dogs, who refuse to be left at home when the rods get loaded in the truck - are vulnerable).
Its best if I keep at least a few of my wits about me!
I'll post a smoke report after the harvest and cure - thanks for checking in, SM - the high P bat guano you suggested has been a real boon, both for this Wee Hobbit and the Bubbleicious coming along behind her.
The Wee Hobbit's trichs are continuing to amber - slowly. I noticed the first ones had turned all of a sudden - but I rather think now that it was a case of lack of observation, rather than a sudden ambering, as further maturation of the trichs has been slow.
Perhaps the fan leaves will be drawn from before she's ready - but other than being somewhat brittle and beaten up - they have remained fairly dark green.
The flowers have filled out a little more - but that has slowed considerably, as well. She's not done yet - but its not too far off!
DAY 77
The Bubbleicious has continued to stay healthy, and hasn't finished her stretch yet - despite beginning to flower and produce trichomes on the leaves of her cola bud sites.
I gave her another feeding of high P bat guano and molasses - but her next watering will include a few drops of organic Bio Bud.
I also moved her onto the "flowering tray" beside the Wee Hobbit - under 2800k bulbs and one of the 57w LEDs. She seems to be enjoying the supplemental LED attention - and her buds have progressed noticeably since she went under it.
DAY 36
Unfortunately - its seems my decision to plant the Black Cream directly into the dirt (rather than a peat seedling plug first, as I had been doing) didn't pan out like I'd hoped.
It seems my organic mix was a little too hot for her tender roots - she has been very slow in progressing - and her leaves have a very light green coloration.
However, she seems to be getting her feet under her a bit - and the light green is slowly fading, and her leaves spreading a mite more quickly.
She has definitely been compromised in early growth - but hopefully her path back to health will continue - and she'll live a full and happy life, yet!
DAY 13
It seems the conditions I'm growing under (soil, temps, RH, available light) won't produce any monsters - so having four ladies on the go at one time seems as though it will be quite manageable (two in flower - and two in veg).
Given that realization - a spot is open under the veg T5 HO - soon to be filled by a Dutch Passion Think Different. She cracked and went into damp paper towel this morning.
My lesson learned - she'll be going into a peat pellet and a humidity dome - probably tomorrow morning.
As always - thanks for checking in!

It was Harvest Day for the Wee Hobbit.
It seems a cruel fate - but her last 48 hours were spent isolated in darkness - and today I took tools to her.
DAY 84
I am very pleased with her result - the buds are firm, dense and sticky - and she retained her musky, smokey wood odor to the end.
The buds are in two paper bags alongside hygrometers - until they are ready to go into mason jars for their cure. Does somewhere around 60%-65% RH sound about right to jar?
I ended up with a nice pile of sugary trim, as well - and have a 90 micron dry-ice bag on its way to take advantage of them.
The rootball has been broken up (to lend her life force to future grows) - and the soil returned to the organic mix thats been cooking in my shed for the last few months - waste not, want not!
The Bubbleicious now has the "flowering tray" to herself - as well as both of the 57w LED supplementals.
Her buds have grown noticeably in the 48 hours she has had all the flowering lights to herself - and is beginning to exude her aroma. And its quite an aroma - I have a hard time likening it to anything familiar to me.
Sort of citrusy - with a definite chemical/cat piss high end.
I'm not sure thats it either - it really is like no bud smell I have any experience with - and I'm looking forward to noting it's development as the Bubbleicious matures!
DAY 43
The Black Cream continues to look better and better - though her growth remains modest. She is begining to show signs that she's about to put on some growth, though - and her lower shoots are begining to develop, now that she has taken her 90 degree bend.
She had molasses mixed with her drink today - and the next one will be supplemented with a high P bat guano tea.
DAY 20
The Think Different had a bit of a rocky start. She popped out a quarter inch tap root very quickly - and went into a peat pellet/humidity dome. Two days later, she hadn't shown her head - and given her very quick start, I figured something had gone wrong.
I carefully removed the top peat from the pellet - and found that she had shed her seed pod - but that the cotyledons had turned 180 degrees - and were pushing straight down into the pellet!
I carefully removed her from the pellet - and replanted her so that the cotyledons were above the surface of the peat - and hoped for the best! 24 hours later, she had turned up to the light - and had in fact straightened her stem. With any luck - she'll continue on with no ramification.
Thanks for checking in - I'll post a smoke report for the Wee Hobbit after her dry and a modest cure - and thank you for checking in!
