Hmm I am in terrible dilemma I have to make a choice between THREE TGA strains I recently acquired at Hempfest.

Mow the reason being is simply due to that fact I am trying my best to keep the WA medical RCWs. I do realize a case can be made to increase the number of plants. Not sure how to go about that, that is for another thread in the Medical (WA) section.

So since I want to get one started that I can hopefully taste and see what all the rave is by Christmas I am asking those in the know to help me decide.

This is what I have to choose from, if you could only grow one which one. Please only those who know these strains personally reply.
BTW I am going too see how well I can take winner of the consensus on this post into my PHOGS and see just how well she does!

(The following information ascertain @ http://www.tgagenetics.com/Strains/)

Chernobyl

Trainwreck x Trinity x Jack the Ripper

When I came out west I started on a quest for the best Trainwreck cutting I could find. I was not impressed with the Arcata cutting as it was to tall to slow and to bi-sexual for my taste. I had written off this legendary strain until I came across an amazing plant discovered by Smokescreen. Found inside a bag of dank, of the few seeds I found one female exhibited all of the traits of the famous Trainwreck without producing a single male stamen, even in late flowering. The complex coloring that shows up late in the plant's life is a thing of beauty and the potency of this mother is epic. Extremely potent, smoking just a few bowls is an adventure in respiratory failure and flat lining your brain waves. We decided to combine this incredible female with the genetics of Jack the Ripper.

Jack the Ripper


Jacks Cleaner P1 x Space Queen
High Times Top Ten List 2006
Featured in the Big Book of Buds 3, pages 86-89
Jack the Ripper is well named because it is absolutely killer weed. A true 8 week Sativa Haze the first thing growers notice is the incredible lemon smell and heavy resin production. It has been described by UK growers as the best 8 week Haze ever produced.

This plant will produce triangle shaped spear buds that pretty much stopped active calyx growth early and produced copious amounts of resin instead. Resin production was evident from day 12 in 12/12 but really started to fatten up the heads around day 50 or so.

I find it performs best untopped with a long vegetative period. Once you smoke it the high creeps up, at first you may think that its not so strong but then whammo... it hits you hard and there's no turning back... then... you will be deep in thought and meditative for quite some time... the duration and intensity is strong and thought provoking.

Vortex

High Times Best Sativa 2010 Medical Cup
High Times Top 10 2007
Featured in the Big Book of Buds 4
My oldest head stash crossed with my new favorite. Both parents have a similar pungent, rotten fruit, baby poo smell. Both carry heavy potency and copious amounts of resins. The resulting Hybrid cross fulfills my desire to have Apollo-13 in seed form even before we continue with the cubing. Sharing traits of both mom and dad some females lean so much towards Apollo some smokers can't tell the difference in a blind taste. My favorite female is a sweet and sour girl that to me tasted like Sour Patch candy but I yielded close to 4 ounces with minimum training. She is easier to grow and trim than mom..[TABLE="width: 320, align: left"]

I've grown the Vortex and would def recommend, very easy to grow and nice bud, not a great yielder tho for me but I did grow her a few yrs bak when I was just starting.

I've grown JTR and is my fav TGA strain although I haven't grown many, I'm from UK and I remember when It first appeared over here, I wasn't even growing then and never heard of sub, but knew JTR was the shit

Chernobyl I haven't grown but interests me, and I love trainwreck crosses but I'm gonna go with Timewreck instead tho for my next run.

Outta the three I would grow JTR if I could only grow one, as sub says its killer weed.

Right on thanks!
 
YW welcome bud, if u decide to grow her, veg em for a long time, she's prob a med-slowish grower, and look for that pink lemonade pheno!
 
There all good. Of those three I would have to say I would go with the Chernobyl. But why don't you pop beans from each pack that way you will get a nice variety. I like the being able to switch it up you have one type for awhile your gonna build up a tolerance and your head is going to get used to it. I too my friend grabbed seeds and hempfest and will be going through this same dilemma in a few days. No matter what you cant go wrong. The Chernobyl and Vortex are going to finish faster the the JTR unless you get a fast phenol.
