Selecting a Mother

Couple of nites ago we tasted the "B" and "E" plants. E was ok tasting and fairly potent. The "B" plant had outstanding taste, very citrus, herbal flavor and seemed to be the most potent tasted to date. We decided not to try to taste 4 in one nite like last time, it just gets too confusing, or we get too screwed up.:thumbsup:

Last nite we tried 2 more. This time my partner took samples and would not tell me which plants, till after. The first tasted like most others, good and pretty good head was plant "H". The second, I immediately said this is just as citrusy as the B plant from the other day and maybe just as strong. Turned out to be "B" plant from the other day. He just wanted to see if it was that much better then the others so far, and it is (or trying to see if my old taste buds really do still work). Still have a few more to go. Only 2 of the 6 tasted so far have that flavor and clearly 1 is the most potent so far. But hey the search continues.

Did a small taste of three plants (A, D, G) and all three tasted like most of the others, good taste and potency. The "D" had a nicer smell then some and had a citrus taste that only a few plants have shown, but it has a strike against it earlier due to slow rooting.

We then tried one from the first nite go round, "I". Very nice citrus/grapefruit taste and then we realized why everything went down hill the first nite. This plant really has much more potency then the rest, and might be the "strongest" of the bunch. Damn it was good.

Tommrow nite we will continue; going back for a 2nd (or third) taste of some of the favorites. We really can't wait for these plants to dry out and cure some.....so that we can get to roll a few up and taste them that way. :jointsmile:

Both I and B are sounding like your stand outs... hope they continue to improve with curing.

Not long here until the spring planting begins, can't hardly wait to get my skunk#1 fems started.

What we have found is the "I" plant is alot stronger then any of the others. It is definately the diamond we were mining for. Plus "B, F & D" are all a close second, so we are going to keep for the time being all of those for now. The F has the best plant structure overall slightly larger bud sites then the rest. After we run another batch of clones from those 4 we will see how to determine the mom. (may have to breed the best two together, if that's what it takes).

Skunk#1 outdoors is going to be very nice for you, I'm sure. My partner is very partial to skunks and used to grow them as field crop, he still kicks himself for letting the genetics get away from him years ago...probably why we started with the shiva skunks this time here.

Good luck with it, I envy you growing outside.:thumbsup: (tho I don't miss nasty storms a week or so from harvest time, lol)

It's offical, after much tasteing including dried product, the "I" plant is the strongest of all 10 original plants. It also passed the rooting test for cuttings and had pretty decent structure. :thumbsup: This one is a winner and worth the effort of growing out and hunting for the best.
