Thanks I decided early on I want to avoid Feminized and autos. Could you give some details on the DNA's you've run? The Dina beans I ran were free with my first order. I can't complain with those 4. I enjoyed original Amnesia the best of those 9-10 weeks flower above average on all counts I've actually kept this for myself. This grows differently then anything else I've run. It veg's a little slower with little stretch upward it's more side stretch. It's by far the shortest but still doesn't hang more than 6/8 over the sides of my 7 gallon pots but still yields close to my others. My friend loves the white Siberian. The critical Jack has a very nice taste and all 3 of them were easy to clean. The G-13 could have been a fluke but really small flower, very slow veg, and very poor yield. It was only one seed but I'd need to hear a lot of great thing about them to try them. I know it's a very small sample size but I kept 3/4 freebies from dinafem. On the other hand I was upset with myself in the end for runnning g-13 white widow. It was a waste of space and I had a winner black widow :dunce:!
I ran the G-13 White Widow as my first grow ever, sadly didn't make it past week 4 of Flower, but it was an amazing 4Ft tall, and one straight up cola, with very minimal side nodes. I was a noob back then and had a friend kill them somehow but they smelled great and were super frosty.

I grew the G-13 Pineapple express and it was pretty damn good. My pheno sadly was short and bushy so I didn't yield much maybe up to 3-4Oz leaning more towards 3. The smell was too much though, it was a good type of smell extra fruity like a girls candy perfume (Not sure if you smelled that before lol) The high was all mental for me, made me think about things I wouldn't normally think about.

My friend grew OG Blue from G-13, he said he had a hard time growing it but he doesn't use any essentials like PH meter, PPM checker, or good nutes (He buys the cheapest he can find) The smoke to me personally was mild, more of a "I want to get some stress off but still be able to work" type of high. It's bag appeal was nice though, very frosty.

For DNA I have only grown the Auto 60 day wonder. It was compact, short, branchy, and hella dense. The high isn't anywhere near any of the Photos I've grown but for 60 days 84 grams was ok. Granted I have only grown one from DNA, I have friends in CO, TX, GA, and CA (Canada) who have grown DNA for 5+ years and I hear nothing but good things about them. I just haven't been growing a lot for the past 2 years, I just grow for personal use and to give away to friends who don't like "Street" weed in NYC (its all starting to taste like shit and filled with random things we dont know)

I'll be growing Auto White Widow & Auto Critical Jack from Dinafem starting on Xmas day or New Years Eve when I purchase a new tent.

I use 5 gal smart pots all the way through never transplant for any plant unless it shows serious signs of rootbound and all my photos are usually vegged for 2 months 3 months if I'm only growing one plant or LOVE a strain.

Hope that helps.

Bump that does help... Pineapple express on paper has interested me. I've read it smells and tastes great but lacks power? Not sure if that is true but that is the impression I've gotten.

I grew 3 g13 pineapple express 1 outdoor and 2 indoor. All of them stunk, tasted, and gave good yield IMO but that was my first grow. Slightly under a month veg flowered about 60 days (one right after 60 other one before) yielded me 6 oz dried off the first and 2.3oz off the second (2.5 week veg though). I got an extremely hardy and quick growing pheno that bounced back after MANY mistakes even in flower. I've yet to deal with a plant that showed that same kind of vigor. The smoke is tasty but not the most concentrate. It'll delivers a good consistent head buzz that gets you up while making you space out and forgetful. I would grow it again, but not if my aim were potency. Hope that helps.!

Try and get Girl Scout Cookies but make sure your temps and everything is good because they ten to turn into hermies .
Thanks... I've got everything under control - temps, nutes, lights, vents, humidity ect. I started reading on here a few years before I started. That didn't stop me from encountering things I didn't expect or under estimated. BUT it sure helped me address them all as they occurred. My first run I lost about 1/2 a zip to rot. it wasn't for a lack of looking for it . . . rather it was inside the flower near the stem and couldn't be noticed until harvested because it happened that close to the end. Boy did that tick me off :twisted:. Other than that it's been relatively smooth sailing for me. My first job was in a greenhouse after school, weekends, and summers. It didn't pay much but it sure has paid dividends. However, I'm trying to avoid strains that have herm tendencies along with fems and auto but thanks for the input. Avoiding this trait was a primary reason for this thread. As I don't trust someone selling me something to point out the negatives. I've read that tendency occurs in some of dna/rp strains . . . and I'm interested in skywalker, kosher kush and a few others but at this point I'm concerned about the time and effort ect vs that tendency! To this point it hasn't been worth the risk I plan on running what I have in the stable and every run adding in a couple from something new. I'd blow a gasket if I noticed that to late. I keep the new comers near the door so it's the first thing I see and see the best. But this is also where my fresh air comes in and my fans blow the air directly over everything else towards the exhaust. So if I had a problem it will be worst case for me. A few beans down low doesn't bother me but I want my flowers focused on swelling.

I'll second the vote on critical sensi star...I've found it to be super easy to grow, super frosty, and finished in 57 days from flip. Stays about 4 feet tall total, with nice tight indica buds. A good strain...C99 is a nice one too and finishes quickly..I think kosher kush, or skywalker would be great bets too, but haven't run them yet.
