After getting to handle and take a long, close look at Plant 10 I’m already blown away! She hands down appears to be the best pheno of the pack.. thus far.
Of course, effect is my most prioritized factor so we will have to wait for the smoke reports to crown her Champion.
BUT… she has shown vigorous growth in veg and flower. Handled most of the torture I’ve put her through with grace, and recovered from it well and quickly. She has BIG, DENSE, BEAUTIFUL buds that frosted up nice in the final week (without any added UVB or any other tricks than low humidity). Even the lowest buds on her are big.. like really impressing me big, with a beautiful shape to them as well. The buds have a foxtail look to them that I think is genetic and I like it! Oh and she finished flowering in under 8.5 weeks!! Looking at the trichomes I probably should have harvested her a few days earlier than I did.
She was by far the easiest of the plants to clone. She has by far the most intense smell of any SSH plant (other than MAYBE the male, “Plant 1” and they smelt nearly identical). I will break down the smells once she’s in jars and also ask a few friends to help that are better at this than me.
It’s crystal clear that the pollination I gave her took really well. The branch I pollinated is LOADED with seeds. One seed fell off while I was harvesting her and it appears to be fully mature and beautiful, with awesome tiger stripes. The seed is hard when pinched and I’d be surprised if it had any trouble germinating.
Both Plant 10’s leaves and bud have a gorgeous purple hue to them. Had I the temps in the tent drop further at night, I can only imagine how purple she’s be!
So with all that said. If she smokes half as good as I think she will, I’m going to take some more clones off the “Plant 10 Clones” in the 2x4 that I just sent into flower a couple days ago. Yes, I have her genetics somewhat preserved, having mixed her with her male twin, “Plant 1”. BUT.. I can’t see myself letting the 2x4 harvest being the end of her.. at least not yet!!
