I grew out a weird pheno of Jilly Bean.. It grew great smelled like a MJ plant in veg and then in flower the buds produced no smell, I'm talking zero smell. The buds smell like a plastic sandwich bag no scent what so ever they look nice though like the photos of jilly bean buds they just dont have any scenet weirdest thing I have ever had happen in my garden.

go fuck yourself. you have nothing to show about your accussations of me being a noob..
Its two clicks to see your started threads, I am not going to go through them and copy and paste to this thread. If anyone is curious about your posts all they have to do is look, just like I did and see you don't know how to dry or cure your buds, when to harvest, couldn't figure out what happened to your plants, ALL IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.. It's all there. For real, I'm done conversing with you, peace.

I think at the end of the day, it just depends on the individual grower and their expectations from the seeds they buy. Personally, I'd never pay $10 per seed for wildly variable and unstable genetics, those types of beans can be created at home for free. Others might not mind the 'pheno hunt' and the constant threat of male flowers which is common when dealing with the genetics of pollen-chuckers who refuse to put the work in.

Yes, it really boils down to expectations and the individual grower. I'm a caregiver, I have room and time for the hunt so I took on a winter project.

I just ran 3 TGA strains over the winter. Now going into it I knew I was gonna have to pheno hunt . I expected variation w/ Querkle and Plushbery and expected more stability from Apollo because it's a backcross. It's exactly what I got. I got a keeper from each one and a very nice Querkle male that's Urkle dominant.

Most TGA strains are polyhybrids, expecting stability and uniformity from them is misguided. Why expect an apple to be an orange?

this thread is not going well for sub...sucks for me b/c pretty much everyone is on the tga train where I live and that's about all you can get unless you order seeds in the mail. I know of 2 other growers in town that have had hermie issues with ace of spades,plush berry and kaboom with killer rooms and almost a perfect enviorment.. and then most of you guys on here confirm they are unstable. I dont think the point of this is "all his shit is shit" I believe you can go through the hassel and find a good pheno but what a headache. Why such the hype with his strains or should I say stolen strains haha? And all of you crying a river saying his shit is awesome..I think the thread speaks for itself..after growing out so many plants your bound to stumble upon a keeper but that's not the point..what a headache

Still cant figure out why my Jilly Bean looks amazing but has zero smell.

and to address the point of "majority of hermies are caused by stress" Yea...you can probably hermie any strain if the enviorment isn't ideal but to be in flower and everything is in check and then all of a sudden around week 5 you start throwing naners..that's bullshit..I dont care how you look at it or jot it down on paper..that is crap and is not worth the trouble for any grower

everybody is reporting the nanners to be sterile though, so even if that happened its not going to pollinate your whole room. Once again some people arnt up to the challenge. also from what i hear not all of his strains throw nanners, its just a few of them... I hear vortex is very stable....
