What did you not like about it?[/QUOTE]
I didn't like how similar both plants where. they just didn't wow me. besides that they were essentially fine, but I had no wish to run them again...maybe it's because I expected more..

[/QUOTE]Good luck with the Barney's Farm.
When I bought it a year ago it was half that. I guess my grow and review has jacked up demand?

They are pheno hunting for a "keeper" plant, aka, a mother plant, to be kept and used as a source of clones indefinitely, or perhaps for breeding purposes.

How do know if your choice is going to have the qualities you want if the plant is still in veg?

You don't, you gotta flower it.

It comes with experience and time. Do what everyone does and pop seeds, grow them out and keep clones of your favorites.

Ok. But what characteristics would you look for? And can you clone a plant that's in flower?

OK, my 2nd post here but old time grower.
an extremely short answer:
1 a keeper might be a plant that grows fast and healthy
2 fits your style of growing (how tall do they get? inside outside? etc. ask questions!)
3 when flipped to bloom doesnt show hermafrodite tendencies
4 smells and smokes to your liking when harvested.
as far as cloning goes:
-better veg your plants, take clones from all phenos before flipping to flower. cloning a flowering plant is problematic, to say the least. You could try revegging a plant that has flowered, but I personally don't reccommend it for inexperienced growers. But hey, experience comes from trying and failing!
-you cant really clone autos.
-keep your clones and make mothers out of them untill you know you like the original seedlings produce and grow behaviour
feel free to ask me more, just started my own litthe pheno hunt here again after 20 years away from the game...

Thanks for the info. You've answered all the questions I had. I cant really pheno hunt because I live in a small apartment but it's good to have the information for when I do have the room to start. Thanks again.OK, my 2nd post here but old time grower.

Don't need a ton of room. Take a tent and pack it full of smaller plants, pick your favorite and re-veg her. I have sifted through a bunch real quick this way using 32oz hempys. Bodhi said he has seen people do similar in their shower.
