Bag appealHi All, So I’m taking on a new challenge and decided to find the holly grail of mother plants. I understand this can be a life long mission but I’m determined (with luck on my side) to find the holy grail. So, I would like to get the opinions of the expert growers as to the traits that are sot after when looking for the best plant.
Thanks again everyone for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Thanks, Linde. I’m currently pheno hunting grand daddy purple after having a let down with my green crack hunt. My process was to sprout 5 seeds then grow them out enough to take a clone, then after they grew out a bit I flowered them. The fastest growing plant had skinny long buds while the second shortest plant had dense wide buds with frosty leaves. So I’m at a quandary with which one is the keeper.
+1 for this solid advice by DW .Bag appeal

Depends on a lot of other things , but I would not search out a holy grail to please others , find a girl you fall in love with and keep her ....
Too many variables and choices .... Get the plant you best interact with ....that's the goal
But you have to have some idea what you want
The whole catch is that you won't know until it is dried and smoked which one is the best so either you will need to make clones of the phenos or simply reveg them after harvest. i reveg them under 24 hr florescent light. pick the best one and scrap the rest. After all the hard work you still may not find one that you're happy with and will have to repeat the process again with a different batch of seeds. unfortunately with all of the crazy crossbreeding today there is a lot of bad genetics floating around. I consider myself lucky to get one good keeper out of a 10 pack. good luck!Thanks, Linde. I’m currently pheno hunting grand daddy purple after having a let down with my green crack hunt.

If I have only one keeper out of ten I consider that seed company garbage.The whole catch is that you won't know until it is dried and smoked which one is the best so either you will need to make clones of the phenos or simply reveg them after harvest. i reveg them under 24 hr florescent light. pick the best one and scrap the rest.

I agree.If I have only one keeper out of ten I consider that seed company garbage.
But then again I'm pretty picky. I'll probably pass on a plant that most people would be happy with.If I have only one keeper out of ten I consider that seed company garbage.
Why is it your favorite keeper is always the hardest to clone?But then again I'm pretty picky. I'll probably pass on a plant that most people would be happy with.
Thats a good order there. but I'll take the hermies for outdoor gardens...the kind of hermie that only produces a couple seeds per plant.Potency
