What is the average height right now? The seem to be shorter and did not stretch as much as mine and I'm wondering if keeping them in the small cup this long might have reduced the stretch?
I'll measure them out tonight and let you know. I wonder if letting them stay in the cups to long like i did may reduce the over all yield vs starting then in the 2l's

Hard to say but I doubt it. Mine also could have stretched more than yours did cause I had so many of them crammed very close together...maybe their instincts to try and rise above their surrounding plants took over.

you did a great job tho, through and through, I enjoyed following it (really just reading and catching up) but it was awesome. now you got a nice selection of buds to go through when you want something different. Its like opening the fridge and saying whats for dinner...

Maybe i didnt see it, did you say what strains you were going to choose and liked the best?
So from a smoke stand point, I think Skunk #1 is leading the way but I have not gone thru all of them yet and neither have my blind judges...Northern Lights has been graded poorly which is disappointing. I have categorized the strains into 3 tiers purely from a viability standpoint (Yield, height, branchiness or lack thereof, etc.)

Once the judging comes back, I'll take all A+'s from Tier 2 and all A's and A+'s from Tier 1 and those will be the final candidates for the next round.
Regarding Critical Kush, the one thing everyone, including myself, has to keep in mind is that I only had 1 or 2 samples of each strain. I am running a huge risk in making my determinations based on such a small sample size. What if the Critical Kush's I had were just poor representations...bad luck. What if some of my best yielders happened to be way above the average for their strain? So these concern me a little moving forward.

thanks for the heads up. I was thinking that too, but still it didnt evn come close as to the others. But i do know you had some strains that had been crossed with it that did decent.

That was main reason i was reading through. I am doin research on commercial strains. Since you go through so many any suggestions, i already have a few but always welcome to hearing others input.

I've grow barneys critical kush and it's a good smoke and yielder. Check out drfrankenstein. He has a continuous journal of his barneys critical kush grow.And he's doing a good job on in. If you do get some critical kush I would at least get a 10 pack to find a good pheno.

I wanted to let everyone know that the next chapter will be starting in about 1 week. Once I create the new journal I'll put the link to it here for reference. After comparing the smoke reviews to the grow log, Chronic Thunder came out on top. Only problem was that Attitude only had 80 seeds available so I had to pick a 2nd strain. That one is going to be Sensi Seeds Skunk #1 and there are 100 of those coming. I had hoped to be able to order 200 seeds which would have afforded me some leeway if the germination rate is not excellent.

At any rate, as promised, this follow up experiment will be quite a bit more ambitious so see ya in about a week with the details.

Awww shit can't wait. Did you choose cash or American express payment because the tune is still having payment issues.

Well that's good to hear that you made an order with them but I just don't see how they were able to process Visa but yet they say they're not accepting it. Oh well not gonna try to understand as I don't order from them no more anyways.

Why don't you just continue the journal here since lots of people already come here for 12/12 info. Plus it is continuing from the first chapter right? Can't wait to see the next round tho

Yup...I'll just extend this journal...I guess there is no reason to start a new one.
