I have a grow on at the mo mate (clone onlys) but have some seedlings on the go aswell sensi super skunk and positronics AK47 x critical mass. Will prob be about 2months til I order in the WR, could be a lot sooner it depends on how these get on if their not up to scratch I'll bin them and make another seed order. 5 outta 5 of the ak47 x germed but only 3 of the super skunk germed so with only 8 plants their chances aren't good, serious seeds is the only seeds I've had where nearly all have made it til the end, the other seed strains I've grown out have been butchered and I've only been left with one or 2 at the end.
i got the white widow knowing they would be a low producer but its my favorite strain that ive tried to date and it said they where easy to grow. i had the bubblegum from serious seeds. i wasnt too impressed with them. 9 out of 11 gremed but i did have 5 females out of them. i never cure anything cos ive always smoked it too quick lol
when ever i come to order seeds white russian fems have always been out of stock :-(

It's all down to preference mate and if your the one smoking it you gotta go with what you like, I haven't run any of the strains you mentioned above I've smoked a bit of ss bubblegum but you have to go on a pheno hunt for a keeper and as much as I've a had nice sweet tasting bb it's lacked potency and the other example of it I had, had the strength but not the flavour and fuck curing for weeks on end. I was having to keep an eye out for the WR for weeks before it came back into stock and I'll be doing the same again I'll oreder them when there back in stock so as that they're waiting for when I want to germ them, I've noticed they're out of stock all the time but surely that's a good sign as others are recognising the quality, also serious seeds built there reputation on 5 strains which they have been working with for years!!!!!! It's only recently they took over magus genetics and added a load of other strains to there inventory. I won't be trying any of them out as like to stick to what I know and the time proven strains offer the best odds for me mate, I gambled this time with the AK47 x critical mass and the sensi seeds super skunk as a one off I picked one strain and sambo chose the other as I would have taken an eternity to choose also WR was out of stock then too and I was getting imaptient and like to have a fall back plan just incase something were to wrong like this time for instance. I done my back in really bad and lost my clone only's so even though they're late in flower I'm gonna take a few snips and if they don't work out i'll chop the lot and lose a crop and put them in to reveg as I'd rather lose a crop than my strains and the seed strains will get a run then to fill the gap and help keep the times down between choping.

cheers mate but to be honest I can't see me growing out many more seed strains, I have the exo, pysco, and livers and now i'm just looking for something easy to grow that doesn't need tying or propping up as I'm not in a tent anymore and can't have lines for support everywhere, I'm thinking a sog with the clone onlys and small heavy producers next to them just for the ease of it and the WR seems like it will fit bill perfectly with them no stretching too much, I use air cooled hoods (power plant) and like to keep the light foot print just above the plants so an even canopy is a must for me now, If I didn't love the taste and saleabilty of the clone onlys they would already be gone by now but what can ya do? I'm in love with the livers and the exo n physco are just the cherry on top. If I had a bigger setup and it was strictly about the money they'd probably already be gone with the exception of the livers that yields very well just needs a lot of support especially at the end of flower.
Dint need any support the g13 mate only thing i did was put a couple of tie raps around 2 of the side colas and tied um to the main stem just to bring them a little closer in good strong branchin on it, i see where your comin from mate with the WR like you said for the ease an why bother with owt else when you got the 3 C's lol...... im a livers lover to lol been tokin the stuff years now was the 1st propa weed i smoked at like 15 was all soap bar before that so over 10 years easy always called it blues tho mate. i love that psycho now aswell thanks to ol sambo its a lot better for bed time knocks you out kinda buzz the blues is abit racey what do you think? exo is lovely but prefer the other 2.

good stuff mate it's good to hear it didn't need any help being supported, could be in a line up in the future but won't be for awhile yet.
I'm the same mate love the blue's (my fav strain) and highly rate the psycho aswell for a bed time smoke. I agree with the exo it's a very strong strain but doesn't have the flavours of the others. I find the blues a great smoke for all occasions and helps you keep that little bit of get up and go that the others demolish lol racey is one way to describe it I suppose I've been reffering to it as my happy weed as it always seems to put a smile on my face and brightens my day up, your a lucky fucker having that on regular from 15, we were getting all sorts down here some great stuff and then some absolute shite. the solid got phased out early on and we had a little while of getting good hashes but that didn't last before the shitty soap with the same names moved in to take it's place. It's pretty sad down here most here afghan etc and think it's pollem when really it's just soap bar lol Iwas lucky enough to be able to get good high grade whilst most were still smoking soap bar and thinking it was great. Back to the original statement couldn't agree more I much prefer the other 2 and idolise the blues lol

got three diff seeds on the go seeds off a fairy off here lol
Might want to get a back up plan just in case mate 3seeds isn't the best of odds, not saying you won't find anything but I wouldn't even attempt to find a keeper out of 3 seeds unless they were running alongside some others just for safety's sake. eitherway though mate best of luck with it, are they femmed? If not your chances just got chopped in half.

That bollox soap bar still go's round here the stuffs shite mate. yeh 15 an a few of my older mates had been smokin it a few years its all you could get in sheffield for a while or all you wanted peeps would turn there nose up at owt else so yeh weve been spoilt in sheff been smokin blues for years and tbh took it for granted cos it was on tap an thought all weed was same used to always wonder why peeps would come from all over for it an pay way more then our cheap prices you can still get a decent oz of blues for 160.
Doesnt give me the racey high no more kinda used to it but your 1st time i could see you desribin it like that, more like you said mate wakes you up wanna do somethin kinda weed i did think it was a low yielder till the last 1 i did an got 5oz did abit of LST on it and it worked wonders was 2oz a plant before that.
