The one question I ask is how does one varify these newer clones. Do you have any original seedpacks of Grandpa breath?

Man, sorry to hear about the fake.... But awesome that Origins is helping set you straight! Good luck on getting her in your stable ASAP. If you find a reputable source, and are available to share who they are, please do!

That's very helpful. Thank you.The BBC does stretch, I'd say 2.5x ish. It's a pretty vigorous plant in general, but mine went ballistic in 4" rockwool cubes. They were taking everything I could throw at them and loving every minute of it...
They seem to respond well to super cropping.
I'm not sure if you were made aware, but the BBC flowers FAST~ She looks done at less than 8 weeks, so if youre needing to, start the flush accordingly
~ She's such a champ ~Regards,

I would say the number one issue associated with slow/non-rooting cuttings is the health of the mother plants the cuttings were taken from. Aside from genetics and proper environmental conditions the health of the donor plant is often overlooked.
Just my 2c anyways

I've got a fire og cut too and that bitch is just ass stretchy on the nodes.
I love the smoke off the lvtk (pic above) and I'm sure the fire will be nice too but these plants are a pain in the ass to veg out, lol. Easily takes up the place if two plants once they start wilding out.

The most unruly, long node, floppy to the extreme og's are the best. They got the fuel and or lemon or both. They are the lemon thai leaners imo. You will second guess throwing them out due to care but fuck they will amaze all senses.
PS to all OG heads out there is a an ironic old school thread on icmag about someone growing out a defunct old school companies lemon thai that the had the, "most amazing fuel, pine, and lemon smell". They swore it was the missing og link. Long before phylos put lemon thai on the OGK gene map. Look up most thais. Tall lanky mother fuckers...
I would pay real close attention to Ace's thai work over the next few years if you are into thai stuff (blueberry anyone?). They don't have a lemon profile but I am guessing from few descriptions it will have some nice temple incense spice qualities. We will see how it develops though who knows, all I know is it has the old school thai look with complex high.

The gushers cut I have does that as well. Its a pretty widely known trait carried over from the TK~ My polecat selection will do it to a certain extent after the mom has been cut back, but the Gushers does it for quite a while and rarely puts out leaves with more than 5 fingers, even when grown into a larger sized plant~

I finished the TK from sunshinestateseedco a month ago and it's 100% not TK. It yielded nicely and average frost coverage but the smell and high were not impressive. Only have room in the garden for the best so it got composted.
I'm just starting week 3 flower of OGKB2.1 "Green Dragon Cut" and Tropicana Cherry #8 (Relentless Genetics Cut). The OGKB2.1 has been impressing me in veg so far. Stacks nodes, grows quickly, and likes being topped.
The Tropicana Cherry veg's slower compared to the tropicana cookies but the node spacing is way tighter and is also showing purples way quicker than the tropicana cookies.
I'll post photos of both once they're in the later stages of flower.

You find that the Trop Cherry veg's slower than the MTN Tropicana Cookies? I heard that was one of the advantages of the Trop Cherry over the reg MTN Trop cut, that it veg's much quicker, isn't as afraid of the light, and is a bit more vigorous in general? You find this to not be true in your case?

I'm seeing the opposite. Tropicana Cookies vegged way quicker. I know the tropicana cherry's buds are supposed to be larger compared to the tropicana cookies. Don't get me wrong the tropicana cherry still veg's plenty fine for me and if it turns out to be fire I'll be keeping it regardless of vegging speed.
Even before I had the MTN Trop, I heard that she COULD be a little bit finicky. Tbh, that was hard to believe while I was seeing pic after pic of the swoll, purple, pink, alien looking crystal coated nugs.
After getting the MTN Trop cut, and running it for a bit now, there were a few things that rang absolutely true that I had read from numerous people who had a lot of experience with it.
She absolutely CAN be a tad slow in veg, but that can be negated by keeping the medium/rootzone considerably on the drier side of the equation, going subsequently lighter on the feed strength and keeping the light intensity airing on the side of being almost not enough, lol.
If you keep her chugging right along within those parameters, she will keep up with most other varieties. I've also read from several sources that she can be difficult to clone, and lacks vigor until the cuts have a well established root mass. But I think a lot of those comments were made by people who were not keeping their mother plants in previously said parameters, and reaping the effects of the mother plant not being in her happy place.
The main thing that I have heard first-hand from people who have grown the trop cherry, is that the density of the finished flowers is on another level compared to the original MTN Trop. A bit larger as well, as you mentioned.
I whole heartily agree that the MTN Trop terps are so very special, and the flowers have insane bag appeal. But conversely, it can be a little bit disappointing when you put a beautifully grown and cured flower on the scale only to see what it weighs. I know that is most certainly not the genetics strong point, and I will definitely be keeping her around for a long time to come, but if there was one thing I could change, it would be to give the finished product a bit more density.
I grew out a tray of the Trop not too long ago, 9 cuts per 4x4, and with a bit of pruning, shaping and defoliating I pulled 24 zips/kw. That was only my second run with it, and I was actually anticipating a bit more stretch, so there was most certainly room for improvement. Imo, to get the trop to yield, you have to either pack them in pretty tight, or veg and train larger plants to have a LOT of dense, laterally trained branching before flip. As well, like most other cookie and cookie hybrids, the MTN Trop is an absolute poster child as far as strains that exponentially benefit from a heavy defoliation in early flowering.

My Tk from SSSC is just about done.
She's short n squat small buds that remind me of an Og crossed to an Afghani.
Mine appear to be super frosty, but after a good nug squeeze they only give off a fraction of the Og smell, but it is present.
Unless I wake up naked with a half cooked pizza in the oven and no recollection of where I've been.
She will be gifted away to anyone that will take her.

I've grown at least a dozen strains that put out a few 3 finger and some single finger leaves, especially after cloning, but the internode length and leaf combo, I've only seen on Og's and crosses of and the Chems can come very close.
My cut of Tk Larry is easily the tallest lankiest plant in my garden except for my Sativa crosses that laugh at such concepts as Og stretch.

Yep.
Seems on par with mine.
I'm not getting much kush smell yet. Just a sweet kind of floral smell.
But I'm only in 4weeks.
How far along are you? And does the smell increase?
The crippie had a very unique smell.

Mama funk is a clone vendor who used to ship everywhere, but went legit and only to california now.
I never had any original seedpacks, I just had a clone of Grandpas Breath I reversed and made feminized seeds with.
