Is that cherry white from cabin fever? How is it, i have a pack i havent popped as well as few others from them. Ive only grown blue geez from them & it was ok but nothing worth keeping.

Yes it is. The mom is about two weeks from done [ I hope ], and the clone is 19 days in flower, so I have no clue about the smoke. I popped 3 and got the one girl. What I can say about the one, is that it's vigorous, with very thick branches, which is good because it stretches like mad. Supercropping is a delicate procedure, but height control is a must - it stretches by far than the everything else in the tents. Mom is frosty, with nice size nugs, and very frosty, a nice sweet smell coming off them. The only negative I can say, is that it's a +10 week finisher, which is something I effort to avoid. Should produce very well, though, if that's a concern. In the group shot below, the cherry white clone is the tall one [ of four ] back left.

Too many good synthetic growers to say organics is the only way to grow. But for me it's the easiest. That's why I do it. Plain water feeding all the way threw, no trying to guess how much nutrients each strain needs to stay happy.

It cut the complexity of my grows down greatly.

I'll never argue one method is better than another, to each their own if they like what they grow. But one comment to add about complexity and guess work and efforts and such.

I'm DWC, and used to spend a good amount of time mixing this that and the other [mostly Dyna Gro], taking ph readings, and then dealing with about as many happy plants as not, then fretting and buying this nute or root treatment, or.....

About 18 months ago, I tossed everything, and started over with GH Maxi 3 pt with a dash of ph up, and everything clicked. I don't bother with nute or ph readings, just drain and refill once a week, following the included schedule start to finish. Since then, I'd say 90% of everything since has been happy and problem free. The rare plant that has a problem most always corrects itself after the next drain and fill of new solution, so now I treat them all the same start to finish, only adjusting for finish times. I get great flavors and a clean burn for half the work and none of the angst of before. Easy, clean, and uncomplicated.

I hear you on the less work part but for whatever reason I won't let myself guess. I've tried and I physically can't do it. I break out the combo meter and check. Kind of a fault of mine regarding trying to make things "perfect". It probably doesn't even matter much but it gives me insane anxiety not knowing the exact readings. :(
