I have been running Serious Seeds Bubblegum, Kali Mist, and Greenhouse Seeds The Church in my garden for a while now. I wanted to switch things up a bit, so I re-joined rollitup a while back and started researching some different breeders and their strains. It didn't take long to stumble upon TGA ...
There are certainly some TGA haters, and a lot of TGA fans, but ultimately the grow reports/journals from the likes of T-Ray, Hovering, Nugbuckets and others prompted me to give subs gear a go. It's tough to distinguish fact from fiction some times, so no better way to see if these genetics are legit than to grow them out myself.
I ordered a 5 pack of Jillybean, Cheese Quake, and Plushberry. I immediately germinated the JB and CQ. I got one female out of the 5 for Jilly (a little disappointing at the time). Only 4 of my 5 CQ popped, but 3 of the 4 were female, so I was excited about that.
Jillybean has been an extremely vigorous and healthy plant from start to finish. She seemed to handle whatever I threw at her with ease, and remained a lush green throughout with no leaf drop and no nanners. I can say the same for the CQ thus far (they are a few weeks behind Jilly).
I just harvested Jilly last week, and she is now dry and jarred. I will reserve final judgement on her until I get a bit of a cure, but my initial impressions are very good after a sample was smoked last night. First thing I can say is that she is a BIG producer! I use #5 buckets, and usually end up with 3-4 zips of nice bud per plant. Jilly came in at 6 zips! I topped it once above the second node-set, and man did she perform! The smell is of a pineapple/citrus variety. Not overwhelming, but quite pleasant. The taste is fairly non-descript at this point, but I'm hoping that will improve with a proper cure. The resin production is very impressive, and the trim was quite easy ..... although my scissors were constantly gummed up from the piles of resin. The high definitely leans towards the sativa side. It was a pleasant, uplifting experience with no signs of paranoia or anxiousness. It definitely messed with my eyes quite a bit as well. It was almost like my pupils were dilated and as a result colors and lights seemed intensified (almost like a mild hit of exctasy for you pill-poppers
).
I have never posted a picture on this site, but I may have to reconsider that for my next runs of Jilly and CQ. They are gorgeous plants, and worthy of sharing with the rest of the community. This is my first experience with TGA, and thus far I am very happy with the results. Kudos subcool!
I will post a little review on the CQ once they are done ....
