Whats the purpose of the pheno hunt? Are you looking for the best yield or something else. I always grow small plants for hunting and production.I ordered a pack of Seed Junky Cake Crasher seeds (non feminized) yesterday and I'm planning on doing a pheno hunt but was wondering what the overall differences between a pheno hunt grow vs a production grow are. I have read on the internet that the general differences would be
There are still a few points that are unclear to me and was hoping you guys might help me answer the following
- Use smaller pots, such as 1 gallon or 1/2 gallon pots (I plan on using smart 1 gallon fabric pots)
- Veg for a shorter amount of time, say 4 weeks
- Right before flipping into flower, cut clones
- Make sure clones root first then start the flowering process on the mothers
- After flowering the mothers, choose keeper phenos
- Is it recommended or even worth it to train these plants in veg (mainlining, scrog)?
- Will 10 plants fit comfortably in a 5x5 grow tent for pheno hunting
- Is there any other helpful information/tips/tricks that I'm missing when it comes to pheno hunting?
Thanks for the read hope you guys can offer some input. This is only my third grow and this gear is fairly expensive so I just want to make sure I'm equipped with the right information

For me yes.I'm aiming for best yield, terpene profile, bag appeal, and overall hardiness. What's the reasoning behind growing small plants for hunting? Is it so we can maximize the number of plants whose phenotypes we can observe?
I grow in a small space. If I grew big plants it would be one at a time. I find my small plants have the exact same flavor and potency as their older clones. I can grow 6 little plants and pick the best clone, and know in 3 months which one is best. If I did big plants it would only be a couple plants each year to choose from.I'm aiming for best yield, terpene profile, bag appeal, and overall hardiness.

Exact same in my experience. Some good growers disagree and others agree. Do it yourself and see what you think. These were flipped 14 days from sprout.@growsince79 Sounds like I might have to adopt your strategy as I definitely want to get as many plants as I can to see as many phenos as I can. Do you notice the nugs from the small plants have the same size/structure/look as the ones from the older/bigger ones?
This is 80 days from sprout. Day 57 flower.Exact same in my experience. Some good growers disagree and others agree. Do it yourself and see what you think. These were flipped 14 days from sprout.
A friend is revegging his best plant from last October. Its a tree now and just flipped. I can't do that in my tiny space.I feel different about this. I think plants need to veg til maturity and then grow into the best flowers they can be. Little plants never reach the potential of mature ones imo.
So I just reveg a cutting off my favorite plants in flower when I know what I have. I have rooted cuts up to week 11 now. I showed pics of little budded clones reveging in my thread and in threads.
Do you train your plants during pheno hunts?A friend is revegging his best plant from last October. Its a tree now and just flipped. I can't do that in my tiny space.
Hey Derek , I also have some input , first of all good for you , pheno hunting to me is one of the most rewarding practices in growing .....I ordered a pack of Seed Junky Cake Crasher seeds (non feminized) yesterday and I'm planning on doing a pheno hunt but was wondering what the overall differences between a pheno hunt grow vs a production grow are.
