Brother Shwag, you have grown out a few Sannie strains, what has been your favorite? I do remember the Killing Fields you rocked. I am thinking about ordering a strain from them and wanted some inputs.
Thanks Bro

LOL. I don't see the proper use of affect in your usage. Since you mentioned this, I feel I have to help others now and prevent them from such use to save them embarrassment.
"My 1911 has a sweet effect when you shoot at night! Without a flash suppressor, a nice fireball can be seen.. watch this.."
"I was affected by that blast, now let me wipe the powder burn from my face..."

Woot, thread hijack. The 1911 angle has always felt the best, its hard to switch to others but I'm getting better with Glock grips. Sigs are very reliable, though.

Almost got one of those, bought an 870 instead. Customized with folding stock, dual pistol grips, and 5rd box mag! I belong to a club nearby, about 10 miles away, several ranges there.. and love shooting trap with this.

I love guns too but my sickness with technology is such that I cannot afford a lot of them lol. I only have a 9mm pistol and a 12 gauge shotgun for sport and home defense.
BKB regarding Sannies - I really liked all of them honestly, but I dont' feel like I was on top of my game when I tried them. I've since dialed my 600 box in and learned more about organic gardening.
I grew out:
Shackzilla
Hericules
Killing Fields
El Monstre
My personal favorites out of that group were El Monstre and Hericules. The El Monstre grows quality buds from top to bottom... She stretches a bit more than I like but it was all usable, very floral smelling and nicely compact with lots of bud sites. The Hericules was also had a lovely organic scent but seemed to pack on more bud weight. I also had great feedback from friends with the Shackzilla, some of them say it was their favorite.
Although I did grow the KF, I think I undervegged it quite a bit. I jumped the gun after having a horrible experience with Super Silver Haze which I didn't feel I overvegged, but became completely unmanageable in my space. The KF is quite manageable for 100% sativa and I know if I did it again I would get a much better yield of larger more compact buds and benefit from a longer veg cycle.
Here are a couple quick shots I took of them for you, KF on the left (Purple Pheno) and the Hericules (a bit out of focus).
The KF was a bit "airier" which I expected as 100% sativa. I loved it on the golf course for active smoking. The Hericules was a great all around smoke and produced much better since I vegged it several weeks longer. I really want to try more, I've seen some awesome Sugar Punch grows (Stumpjumper did one under 600), I would order that one as well as Jackberry.
Honestly though, I don't think you could go wrong with the fem mix and then whatever other choices you have + a freebie. You know how it is, we want to try everything but its impossible lol.
I have a Herijuana intentionally root bound in veg right now, I will let her loose when the time is right but I have too many plants vegging and not enough space to flower. I will grab a pic of El Monstre for you tonight, she's a beast.

I've started my first attempt at "supercropping" after taking some clones.. Its either a sativa or sativa-dom, and those branches seem very hard to crush between my fingers despite 100lb+ grip strength. Used two hands, and crushed some capillaries in one of my index fingers! I figured out that they should be crushed in the direction of the bend.. bend down, crush top & bottom. It's already healing now, I feel like I didn't do enough but I need to see the outcome of what I did do before I tamper with it again.. I'm still in research mode.
Also I think I figured out a better way to crush the branches, using small (less than 6" length) needlenose pliers.. The logic here is to take a wooden popsicle stick, cut 0.5" pieces off of it, narrow the pieces to fit the width of the end of the pliers and glue them to the "teeth" on the inside of the pliers with an epoxy. Then gently sand a slight curve to the cut wood, so when it is closed it will be like two dowels side-by-side. The wood covers the teeth and softens the bite, and you get better leverage (more control) over the pinch. If you can strip a wire with angle-cutters without nicking the copper, you'll have more dexterity than required to use this tool, too. AND you can pinch branches at least 5x faster. With a larger version, people can begin to experiment with pinching the main stem after it's become too hard to bend.

Whoa whoa, I'm confused, the branches should be very easily bent, perhaps you could share some pictures of what you're talking about regarding the difficulty bending the branches? Check out the video at the start of the thread for a fine example. Thanks for joining in the fun, welcome! It sounds like you're trying to supercrop a mature mani stem? The idea is to super crop as the plant matures to manipulate its growth when the branches are more manageable. This will stimulate the plant to grow in a different fashion often turning into a monster bush.

What the hell is up Jozi, I'm sure I would be proud LOL. Hell yeah share those beauties! I'll be sharing the El Monstre 2.1 next week as well as a lovely supercropped Northern Lights mini. My friend likes to call it David Caruso because its loaded with red hairs (i don't know lol). The EM appears to have a little purpling going on, hope it gets heavier after a few more days.
Heres a few pics from my drunken middle of the night gardening session last weekend. These are from my early veg box before they get upcanned to a more aggressive veg. Many of them are root bound, underfed and they're prettier days are ahead
