Thanks! for the confirmation not many people have it I am so glad to know I have the real deal and able to have this in my grows. There girls do have great structure everything that I like in an plant, the thick stalks, fast growth, no too much stretching, easy to grow, I cant find nothing wrong about it. Just cant wit to provide you guys with a smoke report. How many pheno expressions where found in yours? Where they mostly keepers? To me one is leaning toward the TAK and the other smaller on is leaning more toward the cereal cut.
Well, because they were priced so highly and I'm still in university mode and doing a lot of moving around year to year--I only popped 3 beans.
I got a daddy who's being held at a friends permanent residence (I have no need for it currently) who smells like fucking cereal. He's been producing pollen from this guy for awhile now so I can get at that anytime I need.
I got two keeper phenos out of the other two beans. Mothers of these are also being held for me in the same location (not currently growing myself).
One was definitely a GDP leaner and had a really mellow stone to it. Wasn't the dankest shit on the planet, but it was a keeper for me because at the time I really needed some mellowing. Probably wouldn't have been a keeper in most gardens, but it's a favorite of mine.
The other was the full blown milky fruity pebbles pheno that everyone drools over. Crazy trichs, an almost inordinate amount of bright orange pistils, obnoxiously short internode spacing and some of the densest shit you'll get your hands on (a characterstic found in most of Alien's keepers).
The stone was great on this girl and my 2nd grow I mistreated the shit out of her (out of necessity) and she still put on trichs like no one's business.
The taste lingered for a good two minutes after a hit and similar taste lasted well into a bowl (much further than most shit I've smoked). It's literally like drinking the milk at the end of a bowl of fruity pebbles. The name is spot on for the strain.
The remaining beans will stay safely in their pack until I put roots down somewhere. These are my prized possession.
When my stock got robbed I lost almost everything I had in seed form. Well over 100 Alien beans and quite a few other rarities to speak of. I managed to hang on to the sour pebbles and the FPOG and a a few packs of my favorite Divine strains (Wolverine/Eskimo Kush). All of the freebies I've gotten over the years were stashed away in the same place so I've got a bunch of other random shit as well. I did also have my Stardawgs and the Galactic Tahoe stashed--so overall my stock is still pretty solid.
I'm heartbroken over losing my Alien stock (there was just so much of it and I'm sure I missed out on some badass phenos) I would've foud but luckily I've made some buddies since that time who have cuts of most of the strains I lost that I can get at in the future--so I'm not too bummed about it anymore. Hell, I guess whoever robbed me saved me the pheno hunt in the end--I just hope they knew what they were taking and that the 6-7K worth of stock they took didn't go to waste. I hope at least someone is enjoying those strains somewhere.
