Why do people who have never run S1s always buy them thinking that they are like a fem version of an F12 or something where everything is going to be a cookie cutter of mom? Shit is going to be all over the board without a lot of copies of mom being found.

Because seed sellers dont say otherwise and typically market it as the seed version of the clone. Even csi a lot of times will just describe the clone for the s1 and people only know otherwise from either growing them or listening to interviews with him.

But....what IS the "mom" and "dad" of Chernobyl? Does anyone know?

I know that S1's can be all over the place, so it's like gambling. I throw the dice and maybe I get something that's a chip off the ol' block -everything as advertised. On the other hand, I might get something that's not as good as what I'm hoping for. BUT...I might get something that could be even better than expected. That's kind of the fun of being a small timer, like myself. I get to gamble with every grow.

Great example of that right here! 2 fem Double OG Chems by Rebel Grown. Could not hardly be more different, physically, but the aroma is almost identical, in veg. Pic is from 16 days ago.PXL_20221206_191636947 (1).jpg

See? That's just the thing that commercial growers can't stand. They want consistency. I want variety. I know there are small time growers who get get lucky with an unstable strain that produces an extra-rich terpene....but maybe doesn't yield well....or is difficult to grow....or takes a long time to finish flowering, etc. It's like playing the lottery. You probably won't win even if you play....but you certainly won't win unless you buy a few tickets! :)

Don't get me wrong....LOTS of the commercial growers or big-time hobbyists get incredible results and I know that managing a large grow takes real skill. Getting consistent results is an art and those guys have it down. But the biggest problem I have is that I'm old enough to have known what good weed was like before it was bred to be tasteless and odorless. There's no way I'm going to find those old terps in commercial or popular strains. I'm trying to get lucky and find one of those rare cultivars that stinks for miles and has tastes that stick to your pallet. Chernobyl (that I remember) has a really tasty lime, cherry, burnt rubber terpene profile. I'm hoping for an "extra-bad child" seed. ;)

Just ordered a pack of feminized Chernobyl (Slymer cut) S1 from Bob Bitchen's seeds through DCSE. I've been wanting to grow this strain for a long time. Looking forward to it! They are supposed to be sending some bonus pack -Cherry something....idr.

I've been waiting to grow Chernobyl for awhile now. It was one of the few strains I used to get regularly back when medical *wink wink* marijuana dispensaries were the thing around here. I've been told that the Slymer variety is "the" one. I won't be able to run until next summer but I had to snag a pack before they disappeared again. Hopefully, it will produce the really heavy lime/burnt rubber terpene that I'm looking for.

I ran bob's slymer s1s outdoor and indoor. Very frosty but moderate yield with both. every seed was a good pheno. No burnt rubber. Limey and strong. Most roughly 50 days. 8' round bushes outdoors from seed. I recommend Bob to everyone. Great guy! Best selling seed at dc seed exchange in 2022.

I've ran many s1's of a strain at the same time. Very high level of consistency. I prefer s1's now over 2elite cuts crossed together. No comparison in my opinion.

They do any electronic payments yet or still cash only? I don’t trust my local PO after a couple cash payments went missing, so I have to really want seeds that are only available from cash only seed banks/sellers.

I recently bought a three pack of Skywalker OG auto and Runtz auto. Both Barney’s products, though I bought them from a local shop, in part simply to support a new and useful shop in the area. Going to run two of each in my 3x3 soon.
