Smoking my first sample of velvet pie, dry trimmed but not cured yet. No real discernable flavor or smell but to be fair my palate may be compromised from earlier smoke.

Definitely need to cure before I can give real feedback, but besides being pretty, I don't think it's anything to write home about. I'm going to run in soil as well to see if that makes a difference, but my first impression is not great.

glad you are giving us the quality report on this type, if they are not up to it i wont use them in the pollen chucking plan originally intended

I am contemplating trashing the rest of the cuts I took from this plant. As pretty as it is, I have standards for taste and effect. Unsure right now. Part of me wants to see if I can pollen chuck some potentcy and flavor into it.

Gonna smoke a sample with a clean palate later, then cure it before making any final decisions.

No matter how pretty she is,if she only checks one box she has to go.There's way too much amazing stuff that checks all the boxes to waste on anything subpar tbh.I personally have become relentless in the culling of females.If they don't have jaw dropping,full flavored smoke they get the axe.On to the next one bud!

It's tough to cull a plant after 1st run for me b/c I've had plants I thought weren't keeper's turn into keeper's on the 2nd run & on this 2nd run I neglected them haha!!

What I like to do is have an extra clone for that strain & send it through a few weeks after the 1st. That way you dont have to wait that long for the 2nd run of that plant. Of course I cant do that for every plant as it would be a space issue but it helps.

I actually I actually have one that is four weeks in but that one is also dwc. My real dilemma is whether or not to flip when I have in soil or to just call the strain entirely

Smoking on a clean palate, my initial observations may have been a bit harsh about Velvet Pie. Definitely going to cure before any final decisions. Still thin on taste but there is a hint of something that may be brought out in the cure. Could have daytime smoke potential

If you had multiple pheno's it would make it easier to cull IMO but with a single pheno I'd run it one more time maybe in a smaller pot than you normally use. Still taking up space in veg & flowering tents though, maybe flower one & try for a reveg if it's a keeper.

I need to cull some bitches myself, got waaay to much on deck to get sentimental :cry: over a few plants. I just dont like that unsure feeling while I'm culling. All these 1 run & done grows kinda hard to dial in but like I said I neglected them on 2nd run they came out better. I ran them longer than the 1st time though, lot more amber.

Yea I try to at least run in twice. But you are absolutely correct, I have way too much confirmed fire taking up space to be getting sentimental over a pretty plant. If I ran a plant in hydro, I like to try and take it through a run in soil lately. I had a Citron City pheno I didnt care for in dwc but then liked it after running it in soil. Chances are Velvet is a goner when it is all said and done.

They worth it got mine as freebies but they are "fem" (always think they are regular that will give you more female lol) and just one will make you happy since they look pretty similar to mine in different grow so you should find something worth keeping in a 10 pack i only popped 3 and got my keeper

popped 16 fems from IHG, got 16 females...

the fresher the oil the better. i dont see any need for curing when you're only interested in oil, but you can try to convince me, what do my oils gain from curing the flower?
