AlienOG S1
View attachment 133294
Foliage was looking rough so I hit her with a rough trim before harvest... Gonna take her on the upcoming full moon here in a couple days.
Smell is on par with the clone only, damn near/if not identical ? Frost is at least on par, but arguably better?But, the nug meats, this is where it really stands out? Stacked so much tighter/harder!
I ran 3 cuts of the original clone only alongside this (the foliage looks way more shitty on those, I'll try to clean them up for the camera before chop) and man, the difference is massive!
Now, I'm not too sure if it's because this plant was from seed and those plants were from cuttings (having taproot vs not having taproot). Or if the S1 just has more vigor and/or the clone only may be a bit worn out. Maybe a combination of some or all of these? I'm not too sure on the exact specifics as to the why's and the how's...
What I am sure on tho is that, and for whatever the reason(s), the S1 took the same abuse and lockout (me overcompensating/overfeeding... some missed waterings, etc) as the clone only plants did but grew faster, better, easier, and much much chunkier! And all while in roughly about half the size of pot/amount of soil.
I have x1 mother plant of the clone only in veg still. I think I'll flower that out one more time and chuck some pollen at it for shits n giggles to see if it takes...if it does, sweet! If not, ah well?... Either way, I think I'll retire the original after that and hunt through some S1s for a better cut... Shit, sans the smoke test, I've already found one, this one's better!
Still gonna search through more seeds... But, on that note, for the time being I think I'm just gonna harvest the top half of this plant and leave the bottom to reveg to keep it til I find a better replacement down the road!?
