Dina Fem Critical Jack

dinafem is a good seed company,they do use some good genetics to make some of their strains.im doing a blue widow and blue hash at the moment,both freebies.

I'm just finishing a critical jack seed I got as a freeby from attitude and it does not conform to any of the descriptions I have found online. It's a stocky, robust plant, it stretched quite a bit when I flipped and I had to supercrop it right away to keep it out of the lights. The leaves are the broadest indica type leaves I've ever seen and the buds form in knots at the nodes, very hard and dense. Since all the descriptions I've seen talk about large fan leaves, hanging limply and the bud pics I've seen show pretty much a solid columnar cola. I don't often grow out freebies because you never know what you'll get. I'll see if I can get a picture up.

that's what makes them FUN to me. some of the best strains i've tried have been freebies... DNA lemon skunk, short stuff super cali haze, john sinclair sativa trans-love and even short stuff's onyx for it's buzz but i just despise the taste of diesels. i place orders specifically to get the most interesting freebies as they're offered. it's the best way to sample strains you otherwise wouldn't buy. i'd never have even thought of buying lemon skunk as i don't care for skunk #1 at all, but i plan on buying it in the future for breeding with lemony malawi gold. in theory, it should be similar to haze skunk, but tastier and not have the lead eye effect. i hope you have someone that you pass your freebies away too. it'd be sad to see them go to waste

LOL. I'm also growing DNA lemon skunk at the moment, and it's just about done. Too stretchy for my situation, but I'm eager to try it. The thing about the critical jack freebie is this; I like the way the plant grew and looks and it's probably going to be fire, but since it doesn't conform in any way to pictures and descriptions I've looked for, I'm skeptical that it's actually what it was bagged as, so if I wanted to grow a whole run of it, I can't be sure that the seeds I buy would be anything like the plant I grew from this freebie. And one plant of a strain isn't much use to me. Lost in a hall of mirrors, you see.

My freebies don't go to waste. After all, here we are talking about one I grew. I actually grew two different freebies this time, including blue venom. I cracked two beans of that and one was male, so out it went. The other is vigorous, but the buds are large and rather fluffy. I also have a bunch of exodus cheese which definitely fits my style of growing more than the skunk.

i like lemon skunk! uh huh! i want to knock that 50ish day wench up with hopefully some trippy & lemony malawi gold. in theory, it should be even better than NL, blue, critical, G13 & skunk hazes as it's not stony like they all are and if holy smokes' malawi lives up to it's trippy rep, it should be better than the watered down hazes some breeders are probably using.

here's to hoping you share your experience with your critical jack. looks don't have everything to do with how a strain actually smokes. there are some pretty tall stony indicas out there like AK47 while compact & fat leaved jack by CH9 is more of a potent mid that isn't skunky at all. it's how a strain actually smokes that matters most, to me anyways.

if you don't like the bud... i'll take that too. i got alotta nada here myself.
