Sweet Seeds "Green Poison"......

SSHZ said:

Found some notes.....it was Mosca's C99, which was a hybrid of Bros. Grimm 99 X Reeferman C99. Very heavy yield, just missed the mark on potency- maybe a 7/10 or 7.5/10. Not sure if he's still doing it or not. What stood out was the early harvested plants as testers were nicely potent, but the longer other plants flowered, they lost a lot. So, the 7 and 7.5 week plants were a lot better than the 8-9 weeks plants. Don't know why, just was.

C99 has always been at it's best at 7 weeks. Peak potency tends to be when things are mostly cloudy with little amber. Stuff can lose a lot of it's luster if you let it go too long IMO/E.

Your Green Poison looking stunning mate. Keep up the nice work. Looking forward to a report. Gonna put some S.A.D. Fast version outside this year and see what happens. Was going to do a black out but decided not to do it and instead will be running my really fast Sugar Punch and this S.A.D. straight up to see how quick they really are.

Mo- Yup, you got it. I call that "supreme health"- the plants are actually cutting the "light angle" (as opposed to laying flat). I think it's the plants way to control the temps at the leaf level. But it is an indication of good health.

The picture does not show about 8 more plants on the right side but there are 24 plants well backed in there. Next picture in a week I'll try to take one from above, rather than the side.

I was a tester for Sweet Seeds on their "fast" version Green Poison and wasn't that impressed by the overall quality. It finished about a week earlier than the feminized version, but the potency took a big hit. I think my grow report and review is on RIU somewhere if you search for it. I understand why people would like plants to be finished earlier, but not when quality suffers. I can guarantee, the potency of the "fast" version plants will be less than the original strain.

You can also find multiple reports of my previous Green Poison grows here, along with numerous other places...........I've done a bunch of them.

If it's no good it's gonna wind up as shatter. No harm or foul really. Not putting all of them out there just a few plants the rest are going to be my Sugar Punch which if it finishes where I live will be a major league victory.

That's a really good description of how they should be mate, you have them in optimum health!!
Nice work mate, 24 plants is a pretty big comittment!!

I'm not saying they won't be good......only the "fast" versions are diluted in potency. I've had long discussions about the fast versions with Tommy from Sweet Seeds. They were trying to produce "autos", that's how this all came about. But in testing, they realized they ended up with just quicker versions, not actual auto's. It was caused by the hybridized parent to cause the auto. They were completely surprised by it all.

LOL..... I used to do 48 plants, 24 in another room too. Now that's a commitment. Electric bill was so out of wack, I became paranoid and shut the 2nd room down. With the right strain, 24 plants works well enough.

Bloody hell man, I struggle with 10 plants and thats only under 400w ha ha. I couldn't imagine doing 24 or 48, that's just nuts. I'd have the po po on my door step quicker than I could blink lol

Rereading this.....Mo, you should be at least at a 600 watts. Early on in my career, when I changed from 400 watters to 600 watters, my finished weight doubled.

I'd love to go back to the 600w mate but my grow box is only 3ft x 1.5ft x 4 ft high. A 400w does the space nicely. Cant go any bigger or the mrs goes skitz on me ha ha.

Gotcha.........Didn't realize the space was so small.

Yeah, it didn't used to be, had to downgrade due to being in a unit complex...too many people in close vicinity ha ha.

Wow............you need to move into the outbacks dude.LOL I purposely live in a rural area. Plus I like less traffic, some trees and animals running around, and my taxes are alot lower.

I totally agree mate, we're working on it LOL. We're hoping to buy a house/property in the next few years. I'm like you, I prefer being rural too, I grew up a dairy farmer so much prefer to be where there is less traffic!

LOL.........I used to work for the countries largest Organic milk producer, running an 865 acre organic farm with many Holstein running around. We have much in common my friend!!!

Wow, we do have a lot in common, mate!! That's a big operation too, we only ran 800 odd fresions but milked twice a day, that was enough lol. Geez it's good to meet like minded people

I worked for the largest organic milk producer in the U.S., who owned 4 or 5 large farms but contracted with hundreds of smaller farms across the country. Although my farm had a lot of calf's, we actually produced a lot of the feed for neighboring farms. Only did it a few years, left to manage a group of garden stores closer to home. Glad I'm out of it, hard work! My background is actually in accounting/finance but they needed someone strong in that background........

Wow man, that is a massive operation! Makes mine sound miniscule ha ha. It is a bloody hard job for little reward too, when our milk prices got deregulated, we went from 48c a litre to 23c a litre and the shops were charging $2 a litre. Made no sense at all.
Sounds like you have a sweet job now though, a garden centre would be right up my ally too! I'm a marine scientist now, the ag background helped a lot though!!

No, been retired for 11 years now to do this thing we both love to do. Wife is younger and works, I just manage the homestead and pets now....and sleep late into the morning. LOL

My brother was a Marine Scientist in Florida for a while, but is long retired now...........he has a degree in it but don't remember what area.

Ahh rightio, sounds like a good life you lead mate, hopefully one day soon I can do the same!

That's cool about your brother too, the more we speak, the more we are alike LOL
