Pandora or Think Different?

[DirtDude]

I'm researching my next grow (soil) which I've decided will be my first auto strain. I've narrowed it down to either feminized Paradise's Pandora Automatic or feminized Dutch Passion's Think Different Automatic.

If anyone has any experience in growing one or both of these strains in soil, I'm interested in finding out if one strain is easier (more forgiving) to grow than the other. I've read everything available on each strain from their producers. Now I want to know from the grower's point of view.

Thanks

Neither. However I dropped 6 Paradise "Vertigo" autos in rockwool and have never grow in rockwool or hydro. In 2 days 4 of the 6 were up and by the 3rd morning all 6 were up and strong looking. That's a pretty good rate I'd say. I will try more of their strains. I also dropped a single DinaFem White Widow auto and it was up 2 days in rockwool. Dropped it 2 September, it was up by 4 September and put in a 5-gallon DWC on 11 September. It has tripled in size.

LOL! I KNEW my post was going to invite opinions regarding other strains. Of course HH, I respect your input and appreciate your reply, however I'm determined to grow one of the aforementioned strains. I'm actually leaning towards the Think Different because I have so much luck with Dutch Passion and no experience with Paradise seeds.

LOL. Then why ask? Another kid looking for rep or friends. Grownups that learn from every encounter generally are glad to hear of any seedbanks success or lack thereof, even if (or especially to us grownups) it might only be useful in the future. Duh.

It's amazing how a simple and respectful reply can be perceived as being contentious. Please re-read my reply bro. There are words like "I respect" and even "appreciate". I posted this thread to see if anyone had any experience in growing the two strains I'm considering. Your reply is appreciated and certainly noted should the day ever come where I consider growing the two strains you mentioned. I've been lurking in this forum for quite a while. I've read many threads that you've offered good, sound advice on. I may be new to this forum, but I'm not new to it's subject.

Peace

Note the paucity of other contributors. Perhaps one could learn to graciously accept offerings without the childish "LOL". Most mature adults do. Peace and out.

I was largely unimpressed with my Think Different. I grew out 21 of them this summer outside. I had one plant I would consider very good, a few that were B grade at best and a couple that were truly terrible mutants that were bad enough if you were doing pick n mix you would have been very very very very pissed off and then more with awful bud structure and a very average high.

Sorry I didn't take pics as I only have a camera phone and I never took my phone to my site for a number of reasons.

Could take some pics of dried buds, but I assure you, there is I would say a 25% chance (there's a few bad recessives in there) you will get a plant you will be tempted to just pull. Less than 25% chance you will get a really impressive plant (the one plant I got that was good was very good and I would have been very happy if they were all like this) and a 50% chance you'll get a very average plant that will yield above average (well above really).

I had a bunch more of these beans that I gave away.

Oh, one seedling died due to lethal recessive genetics (had identical conditions to the rest of the thriving seedlings).

Thanks for posting. I like to keep failed or poor plants' breeders in the back of my mind. My Paradise Vertigo are going great guns in DWC. Pics posted in the Auto Flower forum.

What did you end up going with? I was thinking about giving Pandora a shot outside, but theres not a whole lot of grow reports out there. TD doesn't seem to be worth the effort unless you have good luck and a dialed-in DWC, but considering you can call Pandora 'award winning' with a straight face I'm really curious.

To be one of the only ones to answer your question, I'd grow the Dutch Passion's Think Different Automatic. You have to be careful about listening to others views when it comes to growing because many other factors could have influenced their shortcomings...

Anyway, I've been pfenning to grow Think Different. Not only is it one on Herbies Top 10 and Attitude's Hot Product list for best selling autos. but after seing this, I was sold. Youtube and the web are filled with people who had great success with the strain...

[edit] Well nevermind... I see this is an old ass thread.

My fault, sorry about that. I'm looking for people that have grown Pandora to see if it's worth a shot and can't find many, so I bumped this hoping for a response.

if you need a place to send some of those excess auto beans for disposal
just sayin
