You should be in for a treat Bigbudanti. Space Queen was one of my first TGA experiences. I had a larger cherry pheno that had this cherry like funky fruit smell that everyone really liked. I've grown that strain a few times and even introduced it to my father. He used to grow outdoor when he was a kid back in the late 60's but had never tried doing anything indoor. Space Queen became an instant classic around friends and family.
I know what you are saying though inregards to seeing some of Sub's photos, the magazine shoots or online postings.. in all honesty between the photos and the strain descriptions I had never became so interested in a particular breeder's line or strain until I saw listings for Space Queen, Jillybean, Agent Orange and the like. Before I knew any better I was very skeptical as to whether or not I could re-create those results described as I was afraid it was all marketing propaganda. But no. I found most of Subcool's work to be very stable. You could pick up one pack, pop a few and find a keeper without having to do too much work. Really that's what we all want isn't it?
Before aquiring TGA genetics I only really had the opportunity to grow strains that I knew of, like Greenhouse's White Widow. Perfect example of an over rated strain that according to numerous internet sites is the "most potent" of the available circulating strains.
Compared to what I've pulled out of the dirt with the TGA gear, the greenhouse legendary "white widow" lacked potency, had much smaller yield, poor germ rates, and lacked the smell and taste one would expect from anything claiming to be legendary. Space Queen was superior in all aspects. So right from that point on I began my growing other TGA strains as well as other past affiliated strains from other Breeders that Subcool has worked with or somehow been affiliated with.
Not to ramble on too much, but.. I think you'll be most pleased with your choice. Hope you document and share your experience online with the community for us all to see.
Currently I'm growing Subcool's Jacks Cleaner II, Jack The Ripper, and some "Mystery" TGA Plants that came as a gift from Sub, the man himself called "The Honeymoon Mix." I also have Apollo13BX, Chernobyl, and Orange Velvet as what I would call my Keepers! Photos of that Chernobyl cut are right above the conversation here at the top of the page.
The man doesn't use the word Dank lightly. Hope to hear back.
