I moved my three testers and one control to my flowering tent to keep them sensimilla pure. With small pots and a 12/12 schedule, they’re going to look like 12/12 from seed plants and not like I’d normally expect.
Additionally, for some stupid-ass reason, I planted the control in a differently-shaped pot. So this is not a scientific experiment, and it doesn’t prove anything.
Morphology is very similar and leaf morphology is identical. The hybrids seem more vigorous, but they are about 10 days older.
But this pheno is exceptionally vigorous among its sisters. It is the most vigorous auto I have ever grown, times 2. It does have a long internodal length, but that’s at least partially-attributable to the small pot and bad light in the veg area.
Stems are thick and sturdy, which I like. I’m going to dust the lower branches with pollen, just in case she still ticks the other boxes. I would love to have a potent auto that wouldn’t be slowed down by cold summer nights.
Here’s the control. She’s 10 days younger than her cousins, and even accounting for that is less vigorous. But all other things are virtually-identical at this stage.
So I have one super-vigorous pheno I’d like to see more of, and two vigorous phenos that look like larger copies of the original.
Stem rubs: one of the DG-75 smells vaguely grapey. None of the others have any smell I can detect besides maybe grass. That includes the Double Grape control.
