Too early to tell but impulsively I want to cull it because it’s not too unusual. My first instinct is often wrong though so obviously I won’t. As far as superficial traits I like the uniqueness of the A more and they are similarly frosty. G is probably slightly frostier if I were pressed on that though. Similar odor. Both have that elongated thing going on which I’m assuming is from the SSDD but I’m no authority to be able to say that definitively. We’ll see how it smokes, but if it doesn’t blow me away I’ll toss it in favor of A. The calyx to leaf ratio and overall bud structure appears superior on the A as well.
I was smoking A last night again and I just can’t pin down whether or not it’s potent. I go back and forth between thinking it’s weak to actually pretty strong. One of my friends who doesn’t grow said it appears to not be ultra-intoxicating but then hits him later how messed up he actually is. I’m still sticking with the position that it is medium to medium high strength, but that’s what I like so it’s a keeper for me. I’m going to get it tested if we get testing here just to see what sort of cannabinoid profile it has, mostly because it agrees with my system so much. Interested to hear your take on it, assuming the clones have recovered from their cold journey.
F is way too early to tell or speculate on.
Since I haven’t smoked any of the clones my opinions about the plants :
Lav Jack / TK stand out as plants I want to keep around for a while for sure. Depending on how TK actually compares to TS-a will probably determine the long term fate, but I expect it will stay until at least next winter (LJ too). Smells different from my other 2 Lav Jacks and I actually like the smell of this one a bit more I think. Probably the strongest smelling in the tent and the way it mixes with the offensive and putrid smells of some of the other plants flowering is really cool.
Bubba seems resilient but nothing too special on plant traits. I expect to really like the flowers on it based on what I’ve read though. Hardly any smell compared to a more modern variety but I’ve read in the BK thread here that the smell really comes in after cure when you break the buds up.
Pinesoul similarly is a nice plant. I like how it grows, and it smells stronger than my Goji F1s did, and most if not all of my F2s as well. I don’t feel strong pressure to keep it because I know I can always do a big hunt on my F2s and find a similar plant. We’ll see what the effects are like. If it’s as uplifting as my Goji F1 it may contend for a long-term spot.
TS-g is a nice plant and probably the frostiest in the tent still. It’s a toss up between LJ and TS-G, but I think ts-g is frostier. Lav Jack trichomes appear to have a slightly longer stem and the contrast of trichomes on purple make them pop a bit more.
C91 I actually dislike the plant.
Looking forward to a grow when I can get the timing right on IRENE. The smell description on that one sounds nice to me.
Interesting, Think I’ll probably copy you and take this one in-between 60 and 65 days then. I fully intend to run it again so I can play with longer flower times in the future too.
I was just thinking about asking you in your thread last night and after searching for about 15 minutes saw you mentioned that you took yours 75 days but felt it was ready at 70? Unless my memory is off. Do you still feel that’s a good harvest window?
