Really good mate the russian produces small sativia leafs that don't take up alot of space like alot of indicas, the trimming wasn't too bad at all considering the size of the buds mate

Personally the biggest things that effect bud growth imo, are proper feeding levels/ good environment, lots of light, and the genetics. Ofc everything ties in together , thos are the main things tho.

Gotta remember just cause someone gets good genetics out a pack dont mean you will , not so much variation on fem seeds however normal seeds , you might have to pop a shit load to find the crem dela crem genetics.

I bought a pack of acopolco gold ages ago , must have popper like 20 seeds only 1 was worth a toss , even then i eventually got rid of it as it wasnt up to my standard.

Agreed with everything you said mate, I suggested the serious seeds strain white russain because out of the fem pack of 6 I had one dodgy pheno and most would have been happy with that plant as it still produced and smokes the same it just wasn't as big of a yielder as the others were.
serious seeds chronic is the same all looking like they've come from clones with massive buds (a little on the airy side though) very impressive to look at in the grow room but the prob is it really is a cash cropper strain lacking in taste and potency.
the white russian is a very strong smoke with a decent sweet flavour but it does take a cure to get to that stage otherwise it's just very potent, well worth a grow from my experience if your looking for baseball bat buds with a heavy stone.

@ UNLUCKY if you want massive buds love you need to find a strain that is known for producing, nutes and medium aren't the biggest factors to getting massive colas, I've had monsters in soil feeding nothing but bio-bizz keeping them healthy up until the end, the only nutes I used was grow, bloom and topmax no boosters or magic potions and have had a few grows like this, I dabbled with coco but preferred the end product in soil and have stuck t it since it's just too easy not to. A strain you might want to look at is serious seeds white russian (they come in fems) so you don't have to sex and pheno hunt before you have an idea of what your growing. white russian will put out massive buds that put most on here to shame the problem is some get so big they mould if your humidity isn't low, even a good example will give you impressive looking colas you could probably compare to your forearm. Once your environment is decent and you get the hang of keeping them healthy the massive buds will come naturally providing the strain allows it.

i will look in to them thankyou, ive got down some thc bomb after getting some info from chubby lol, and i got to say...well for me there looking hot hot hot and im getting very excited. i have over fed the feckers again(like i always do) so im thinking of going on 1 more run with these but this time cutting back on the nutes and keeping it all spot on if i can. ive got some ionic nutes left over as im on canna now and was thinking of doing a test with 1 or 2 trays on different nuts see what results i get.

The yield is good mate very good I would call it a cash cropper strain all day long, anyone struggling to pull good numbers due to the strains there growing should give it a go, I know i will be again I'm giving up the smoking so I'll run the usual suspects under one light and the russian under the other just for the weight alone, like mentioned though mate if you want that sweet flavour you need to cure it for a week or 2.
reguarding yield I'd love to know of another strain able to produce the weight that the WR does and have the same quality, I can't imagine there's too many of them floating around that gives you multiple options out of a single pack.

this girl makes nice big buds is a free seed, NLXBB , very easy plant to grow, nice hashy/skunky taste
could be harvested at 6 weeks commercially and still give a great yield
9-10 weeks for full maturity though makes it a better smoke

If you can cure a gram you can cure a pound :P.

Takes alot more jars ofc ^^.

Yeah having loads of stuff lieing about aint the best tho in theory you should be safe , as i imagine if you didn't think you where cool , you wouldn't even have a grow going on.

With what your doing love I wouldn't be taking a gamble like that you could easily end up with over 1000 plants by the time you sex and then get your pheno hunt underway, I generally grow out twice aas many seeds as I need because I'm pretty ruthless with them, I cull off anything that isn't up to standard and I will cut them down in flower aswell if they aren't up to scratch so as that I can get rid of the clones from that plant, Honestly love the best bit of advice I can give you is to grow out the older proven strains that come with good odds, 4 packs from serious seeds and only 2 bad plants anything else I've grown from seed hasn't come close. I grew out a handfull of thseeds heavy duty fruity and only had one plant make it through to harvest the others were chopped as they just weren't up to standard. The keeper I found was awsome but it wasn't the easiest hunt with some serious stretchers and the males, other seeds I've grown even though they were nice smokes and good plants they didn't warrent a pheno hunt and the one thing I have learned is trying with anything less than great genetics is like pissing in the wind, chances are you'll walk away happy once in a while but the odds aren't in your favour.

Fuck hanging on to it, the moment it's dry it's money that can be taken a way. The day it's ready it's gone and someone else's to play with after spending months growing it out I want it gone and paid for the same day it's dried, curing is for my percy only if people want it cured for weeks then let them do it themselves.

just in case you want to look on attitude love.........https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/serious-seeds/cat_91.html

they have some newer strains they've taken over from magus genetics I believe but haven't tried any of them, In order I'd go- white russian, AK47, bubblegum and then prob chronic just because of the yields again but it really does yield like the white russian

well at the end of the day doing what im doing on the volume i do its easier and better results to run with clones, but i just got sick of doing the same shizz all the time and wanted to run with others and defo from seeds,way back in time i had to run clones but ive got to a point thats no longer and here i am, will defo take your advice on board and have a good read on the wr...one's again thankyou hun.. ;-) x

you cant really fail with the old NL or skunk1 crosses , so easy to grow and yield from .. seeds pretty cheap too
a lot of these new modern fancy strains are left for dust, by the vigor of these old established producers
critical mass can produce some nice smoking pheno's as well as great yield

a friend grew this critical mass below, excellent plant

peace :)
