A little update.
So far in a mix of 501st OG and Space Monkey, around the 2.5 week mark I've culled around 30% of the space monkeys due to full blown balls next to bud sites whilst the 501st have shown no intersex issues, conditions are very dialled, no rookie here.
Note that all intersex phenos looked very similar, floppy GG dom, haven't had issues on anything with sturdier stems
In saying that I did expect this from Space Monkey, I've yet to see a single breeder produce a GG #4 cross which doesn't show intersex traits in offspring and my research plus what I'm seeing leaves me thinking I've still made a good choice with Space Monkey.
On to some positives, quite a few impressive examples in here including one which already has frost right up the sugars/fans and is putting off a spicy smell, it looks like the GG phenos but with thicker wookie stems and broad leaves
everything from big floppy messes to very thick short shrubs, I've also got a very unique one with a huge/tight main cola and very impressive side branching with an almost perfectly flat canopy and a super fruity stem rub, she's the one I'm considering unique as the rest look like a blend of 2 distinct phenotypes and lean towards deeper stem rub smells, the wookie leaners are a bit sweeter but nothing like the one described
I'll snap some shots of my favorite few once they put on more of a show.
501st OG is quite nice too, some great examples but I find myself starring at Space Monkey more often
