Just a heads up to anyone running the Apples & Cherries [Stagger Lee x (Cherry West Bc)]:
The Stagger Lee is Original Bubba x (Sour Apple IBL) from Alien Genetics. Quite a few of my Stagger Lee females took forever to veg and seemed to lean pretty hard to the Original Bubba side of things. I chose the female with the quickest growth during veg (which is still pretty slow haha). She leans pretty heavy to the Sour Apple IBL side of things. She has the most beautiful sour apple smell and taste that I have ever had the pleasure of encountering with cannabis. I just refer to her as my Sour Apple Bubba cut.
If you get phenotypes that lean more towards the Stagger Lee, it would definitely be advisable to clean up a lot of the lower growth. My cut gets incredibly bushy and the lower growth seems to make it almost impossible for light and air movement to penetrate. It isn’t too much of a concern in any of my rooms, but if you have high humidity, low light levels or lack of air movement during flower, it could be problematic. I tend to clean up most if not all lower growth in my production rooms anyway, but I usually leave the lower growth for the first couple runs to check for intersex issues. Positive vibes…
