We haven't been doing this very long, this October it's a year and a half. We fooled around with various strains until we got some Sonic kalisnapplegoo seeds a friend won at a cannabis event.
Both seeds sprouted. After a couple of weeks, one of them just kind of fell in half, so I treated the top bit like a clone. Both halves lived. Weird. So then we had three from two seeds.
Turned out we had two phenotypes, one sativa dominant and the other very indica. Been rockin' them ever since, but after long and serious consideration, I decided to dump the sativa dominant strain.
We are a very small grow with a very limited amount of space. The sats get over 4 feet tall, spindly stems, heavy buds that bend the stems down. You have to stuff them in tomato cages and raise the lights to accomodate.
I think they'd be swell outdoor plants, or a good strain for someone with more room. They're just not a good fit here in a small tent w/ single light. So...I removed all the satdom clones from veg and discarded them, put the mother into bloom. I'll let the satdoms already in bloom finish their cycle and that'll be the end of it.
The other phenotype is short, sturdy, and produces just as much as the sat. It was a hard decision, but I stand by it. You need good plants that are suitable for your facility; in our case a pandafilm tent thing. We are extremely ghetto!
If one satdom in a 3 gallon pot produces the same as an indi in a 2 gallon pot, 2 indis is mo' better than one satdom. So it is adios to the basketball player types, and hello to the dwarf tossing athletes. So to speak.
