did you ever get any christmas tree? thats what im talking about..maybe the pinesol kushes might be what youre talking about..i dunno..maybe any thing like it displeases you.the piney kushes arent my bag either..but christmas tree..thats a different thing...and rare.

I grew some bag seed a few months ago...I think I germinated like 4 seeds and I want to say that 2 of them looked like x-mas trees....I thought it was weird....you are saying it's rare to get that ?

I know better than to judge a plant based upon looks, but it certainly doesn't have me excited about it at this point. The lack of trichomes is I guess what Im basing that on. About 7.5 weeks in to flower so things may pick up in the last few weeks.

I really wonder if Sannie lost one of the parents to this cross or something. He had a bitch of a time making seeds .... A couple failed attempts if Im not mistaken. It's just weird that people raved over grows from older seed stock, and now we have a bunch of people growing new seed stock all reporting so-so looking plants.

Who knows, maybe the smoke will blow me away. That's all that really matters

I'm doing all mine in identical setups, that way i'm not trying to add variables into it, It's been a while since I've started from seed, forgot how much of a pain it is...hopefully worth it though, IF the SP isn't all that great, we should warn people, considering the sheer SIZE of this thread dedicated to it.
Undercovergrow's report on the smoke was less than encouraging...

They are also the vessels that carry the compounds that we're after. More of them usually means more cannabinoids. They aren't there just for pretty pictures

christmas tree? please elaborate. i've smoked some that had an almost menthol flavor to it...still yucky.

You likely have a few more weeks yet. It's an unstable polyhybrid. Some will be better than others.

I see grow reports on Sannies site, they don't look much different from what I saw. They're new stock. There are probably duds in the line too.

we got christmas tree buds when i was younger..so lime green and sticky...now dont think pinesol or traditional pine scent/flavor..think cutting a tree down for christmas and you got sap on your hands kinda scent/flavor,like you tried to do a dab of tree sap..that pronounced..no lineage that i know of..its the bigfoot of my pot history..seen it briefly...

lots of older heads rememberit..its recounted by many in tales of stonerdom .

ah yes, good description. i've had that before back in the day...but it isn't something i'd choose first to smoke. the pine taste i dislike intensely is definitely something different.

im just saying,its nothing like youre thinking..this is pot circa 1989-95

oh no, we are on the same page. i am pretty sure i know what you're talking about. i used to live in northern michigan and swear i've had it up north before; but it is still something i wouldn't choose first

its not my fav,but i wish i could get my hands on it to reminisce.

i hear ya, but typically I look for trichs also, and perhaps i'm old school, but a strong smelling plant that is vegging, usually is a good sign of a good plant too.
Totally not scientific, but if I have a plant that is skunky smelly during vegetation, and developing trichomes before/early into flowering, well, that raises my eyebrows more than normal.
but you are right, I've smoked some Jamaican herb that had VERY little crystals on it, and it BLASTED me...

my plants tend to smell very little unless moved..flower is a diff story tho,they get moved with a few fans and give off some funk! with veggin plants,i look for that growth.my sleeskunk was a monster overnight,now the buds are huge,but not a shit ton of crystals say,compare to my blue dream..but i can tell by its growth and flowrr rate its gonna be the good good,even tjo it looks fairly average.

hmmm...not hearing the rave reviews so far that I thought I would with the SP.....

For my next run I have a Dinafem Critical Jack clone, and I can do one other plant with it...I was going to do a SP, but now I am leaning towards a DFCJ from seed to go with that clone....This way I'd have two plants that are probably the same height or near it hopefully, and plants that hopefully have the same nute requirements...Maybe I'll run those SP next run, or down the line....thoughts, anyone ?

update on my smoke report: okay, i am definitely running this again. a few days of smoking this and i really like it. the initial high, for lack of a better description, i'll describe it as that third-eye tingle you get on a good smoke, that lasts for around an hour--but i am getting a body stone from it that lasts me for a long time; so much so, that normally i would smoke again in the mid- to late-afternoon, but am waiting until the evening. i also harvested a bit early, and am not experiencing any couch-lock with her--i'm able to get up and get things done. a few tokes, and the high (third-eye thing going on) comes back quickly...and bumps up the body stone. did i mention i am running this again?
i'd also like to remind everyone that my SP was seeded up heavily. i really didn't think i had added that much pollen to her when i was chuckin' it at her. i don't know if that affects the potency.
spaaacecowboy, i'd run it if you haven't already.

Just double checking....it's basically a 2week veg with the SP ? My grow cab is about 5' high...minus maybe a foot or so for the light apparatus.
