Ok, my turn. (I know.. low posts, I'm a nobody.. but here goes)
My experience with Critical HOG. Grows like tobacco / Corn as it's a straight up shooter with all its arms. Bought a pack of 5 last year, ran 3 in hydro (DWC/Drip/Under Current) with Jungle Juice nutes, and 2 in coco in 3 gal pots with Dutch Masters Gold nutes. Ran them for 8 weeks in one tent and 9 weeks in the other. 1 round of topping and LST with super cropping heading into flower. My results? Good yields, and smelled nice for the "scratch n sniff" on the sugar leaf. That's it...... The trimming was an absolute biznitch (aka pain), and the taste and structure of the bud was some of the worst I had ever had. Both tents came out the exact same, as far as taste and potency. Not very potent at all.
So I'm not going to be running the Critical HOG...I'm going to leave a comment during purchase to just keep the bean for themselves. I do not even want it. I was running Cotton Candy and Sage N Sour along side these strains, and had taken clones of all strains. I hated the dried Crit Hog so much, I destroyed 6 very healthy clones, and just over trained for 11 weeks of veg the SNS and Cotton Candy clones. By the way, both those two strains are absolutely fantastic! Some of the best smelling, tasting and potent stuff I've ever had. Got massive yields (7+ Oz's from single, on each of them).
Sorry going off track. Now, the Cindy 99 has an incredibly famous reputation for being very good. At least that's what my collaborative countless hours of scrounging the web, and speaking with people suggests. Plus, everything I've ever run from G13 has been top notch, so looking forward to Cindy
Next, the Green Crack has a great rep and I was able to try it once. Not toooo long lasting, as has been mentioned, but sure did work / taste / look / smell good. Surely heard loads of horrible things about Cali Connect (Swerve), and after watching him on a youtube video getting confronted at his booth at a big meeting / event about his GSC not being real, and his reactions... annnnd him stealing Vader's (OG Seeds) picture, and putting it online on all the seed banks claiming it as his own image (Blue Dream, I believe is the strain he faked the pic of)... yeah not looking forward to that one. I have a Sugar Black Rose going currently, received as a freebie last purchase, and from reading reviews it's nothing but awesome. Same with the Flower Bomb Kush, for reviews... nothing but good things I'm reading / seeing. I've done no research on the Critical OG, and I WOULD say Critical
anything scares the crap out of me, but I have a huge feeling that it was the Tennessee HOG side of the strain passed on that I didn't like, as I've also heard rather good things about Critical Mass anyways. The Tangilope just sounds epic and amazing, can't wait to try that one. Lastly.. Cheese. OH boy, I love me some Cheese! hah
So far, in my short experience, the best stalk I've run and come into contact with, is from Vadar over at OG Seeds. You can snag his stuff on Rhino Seeds. I've run Wizards Potion (Widow G13 x SFV OG) and it was hands down the best thing I've ever run, smoked, tasted, smelled, felt, seen. I know that's intense of me to say, and you may think he'd have influence on me, but truth be told I've only run his stuff one time ever... because I personally don't want to run Regs ever in my setup. Many reasons.
So yeah, I'm certainly purchasing. Matter of fact, I was going to purchase yesterday anyways, then I saw this deal. So I'm delaying my purchase, but hoping they have good UFO's up, since I'm buying $200 worth. Current freebies rock!
