How much better is a discovered pheno keeper is versus the general population? More frost, thc, etc. Also, are most comercial weed grown from these holy grail genetics? Can a tiny grower grow weed like this without obtaining a pheno? Seems like if I only crack seeds the result is less than stellar if I compare it to some pheno that is 1/1000.Guys - pheno hunting seeds is not as easy as the above posts are making it seem.
You need a lot of space and time and equipment. You also need to be anal-retentive in your organization, cleaning, and labeling.
You cannot be guaranteed a keeper out of even 100 seeds. If a particular cross has a genotype variation of 64 possible phenotypes (I believe that’s the true #), you would have to pop at least one factor of 64 (128 seeds) to hopefully get a female example of as many phenotypes as possible. Some are dominant, it’s the rare ones that we are putting in the effort for. One pheno hunt took 2 of my rooms five months to complete (seeds - clones - flower cycle - cull males - harvest - clone the favorite mother - 24 plant SOG)
Now just make 2 more cuts and sell them for $50 each and you got it free.Well guys I said fuck it and bought a cut on Black Friday. It is a tissue culture grape gas “CLTVTD cut”. I paid a Hundo for it when they were asking 250$. I figured I would pay that much for a nice pack of seeds so I decided to go for it and see how it goes. If I give it everything it needs it will be pushing 30% as you can see from the lab results below. I’ll report back to give my honest opinion on how the terps, growth characteristics, and THC content turn out and if it really is the bees knees.

Nice. I'd spend my money on something like this. Not $250.. but to me it's like getting a pack of seeds and the phenohunting has been done for you. And you know the genetic you get should be accurately described and resemble its sales photo.Well guys I said fuck it and bought a cut on Black Friday. It is a tissue culture grape gas “CLTVTD cut”.

The only way I might: it would have to be better than anything I have in my gene pool, and I would have to see it flowering and smoke it.Nice. I'd spend my money on something like this.

I'd at least want a sample of the finished product for sure.The only way I might: it would have to be better than anything I have in my gene pool, and I would have to see it flowering and smoke it.
Ya man that’s why I went for it I see the value in that. When I made this post it seems the community is split on this topic. If someone can phenohunt a large population to find that amazing pheno I’ll pay for that work. 100$ seemed alright for a cut like that. I’ll be documenting the grow for sure so stay tuned guys.Nice.

It will be interesting to see how it compares to your seeds.Ya man that’s why I went for it I see the value in that. When I made this post it seems the community is split on this topic.

Ya that was my issue but since I was able to scoop it for a 100$ instead of the full asking price I decided to take a chance and see if it lives up to the hype. I researched the genetics (compound genetics collab with cannarado), the nursery that hunted it and everything from the price of the seeds and of course her characteristics. Gonna chuck some pollen at her too after I phenohunt this 5 pack of slurricane #7.I'd at least want a sample of the finished product for sure.
Ya man Ill be around with the grow journal of it so we will see.It will be interesting to see how it compares to your seeds.
Ive met so many awesome ppl on here already so I can see where it’s heading. I’m gonna keep posting my work and do some pollen chucking and try to build up a nice collection of verified cuts. As for the price that’s how I looked at it too bc I’ll be running this cut in a 5x5 so I’ll get my money back for sure. Do you have some you keep around too?Some of the dessert clones that go around are a pretty nice toke. Some not any better then you can find in a seed pack.
as far as cost, yeah some are crazy expensive, some not so much. Chemdog D for 350.00, you can’t go wrong. even if ya put out 1k for a cut, ran a 4 x 8 tray of um, one time you get your money back. Also now have a decent cut that you can trade with to build your cut base.
if ya run with a good crew of growers, there’s access to cuts, traded, and free. Spend your time posting up your work, be a decent dude, and in time growers will hook up with ya. It’s not all that hard.
wish ya all the best in your hunt.
If its really outstanding like you're hoping, you can use it to pollinate you other girls.Ive met so many awesome ppl on here already so I can see where it’s heading.

Yes sir, I keep some cuts, from days gone by……Ive met so many awesome ppl on here already so I can see where it’s heading.

The original sour D cut? Man I would love to get the original purple kush outta Oakland. Ya I feel this is going to be part of the hobby as well. Collecting rare cuts and seeds. Is the apple fritter the Lumpys cut? Idk I just been seeing that one around online.Yes sir, I keep some cuts, from days gone by……
SourD
Chemdog D
Chemdog 91
Triangle Kush
couple of the newer….
Gelato33
Apple Fritter
GMO x Rootbeer
small spot, so don’t keep many, been through many different cuts over the years.
Seeds are so much easier though. You can shut down and go on vacation. If I knew someone I could trust to babysit. Someone needs to start a clone sitter service...The original sour D cut?

I’ll hook up a drip system to a timer. Plus I have close friends/fam. I’m going to Florida for a week in January so I’m already planning ahead. Ya they are easier but having a rare cut that was hunted from a large population has a unique value and i posted the lab results above. I know exactly what I’m getting and when I learn how she grows I’ll dial it in even more!! Still always gonna pop seeds and do small 5-10 pack phenohunts but I’ll get into collecting the rare cuts as well.Seeds are so much easier though. You can shut down and go on vacation.

Yes sir, Original SourD, and lumps Fritter. The Sour I basically use for outcrosses.The original sour D cut? Man I would love to get the original purple kush outta Oakland.
