This is the thread where we show off our strains that take their name (and terps) from all kinds of sweet things. I know there’s a variety of cookie strains and candy themed strains and bubblegum strains, and I know a bunch of us love these strains, so let’s see the sweets!
I’ll start with 2 varieties of cookies and one candy (Candyland):
Thanks @Syn! Yeah, I’ve think I’ve got a real keeper with her. I grew her exclusively for about 18 months and nicknamed my grow room “The Cookie Factory” because of how fond I am of her.
@Joshj, there are now so many different strains of GSC that I can’t keep up with them anymore. The Black Cookies I’m growing is nothing like my own GSC, and if I didn’t know for sure that they were JOTI’s Black Cookies, I would’ve never guessed that they were a cookie strain. I’ve never had the thin mints, but I did always want to try it. If you’ve got pics, please post them!
That’s what I’ve done for a very long time. I find that keeping mothers takes up a lot of valuable real estate, and I’ve always had concerns about the various stresses a mother experiences - potentially causing issues with her clones.
Even without mother plants, I still have more cuttings available than I can ever grow. For example, I’ll be putting 2 JOTI Black Candyland into 12/12 tonight, and I’ll end up taking at least 12 potential clones off when I defoliate - and all of them are going to be composted.
When I start growing inside I will take clippings of all my plants and then cull them after sexing and testing. Can’t risk missing a potential elite/keeper cultivar. Makes me wonder how many hidden gems have been lost cause someone didn’t take cuttings or never discovered them cause they threw out their bagseeds after picking them out of their bud.
Been a while since I’ve seen your “sweet buds”, so I thought I’d post some more of my Candyland…
These plants are huge (for indoor / hydro). Between the 2, they’re consuming about 1.5 gallons of nutes per day.
You can see the large cages I placed around them a couple of days ago, and OMG, my hands and arms got so sticky from rubbing against these buds when caging them!
They’re starting to pack on weight now, and have over a month to go. Any guesses what I’ll get from the 2 combined?
