Question on Star Dawg crosses versus not. I've had quite a few strains from GPS with the Star Dawg dad-Bodega Bubblegum, Tomahawk, Jelly Pie, City Slicker and my now-growing Bison Breath. It seems to me that the Star Dawg male is a good dad, and it shows consistently as vibrant growth, good stem structure and bushy, vigorous pants. Recently I ordered Purple Cake, Purple MAC, and GMO Kush. Last year I grew the Maraschino Lime (Cherry AK47xKey Lime Pie). The Purple Cake is super nice-awesome nose, makes you want to eat it with that grape smell and mine are about 30 days into flower. The Purple MAC is KINDA nice-it may surprise me in the end, but the pheno has some weird leaf distortion and it's not densing up well. The GMO Kush is unusual and may be a winner, but it has a funny smell and has a lot to fill in.
Seems that the pheno variance in non-Star Dawg crosses varies greatly and lacks stability/consistency. Even Bison Breath I have a lot of non-germs, but the one I DO have looks killer. Is it a crap shoot to get the non-Star Dawg seeds or is it worth the gamble? Glad I'm running a tester crop b4 committing to anything-Cake and Chem is on the way and I do think that one will be epic.
Thanks and good growing to all.
