Luck of the draw? I recently found some of my f2 beans made using my keeper female, the beans I've run from those have been dominated by the blackberry syrup taste and with good potency. I'm surprised to see issues with the potency, as I found a real heavy hitter, as did
@calicat I believe. Not saying you guys aren't on point, just that I had a better experience with these genetics. There was definitely some barnyard funk on some of the f1 gals, but my mom for the f2 generation was chem with a twist of blackberry, and the father is mostly snow lotus with purple coloration from the purple unicorn. I liked the smells in my f2s better than the f1. Both f1 and the best f2 have been among my most requested bodhi strains. I can definitely see the stankier f1s being not everyone's cup of tea.
Starting a 4x4 no till tent this week, with a full run of the Apollo 11 genius f4s to kick it off.
