I started with 11 of these Sensi Star x Afghanis (which I'll refer to as SS-Ghani) in 100% pro-mix, which was pre-soaked with a mild nute solution. Done this many times, but this run I had them under the HLG65, which in that very short tent overwhelmed these at first with light, hence they consumed their first two sets of real leaves to keep up. I up-potted them, gave them a normal feed and they've all turned around quickly.
I LOVE the Sensi Star used in this cross (not sure it's named, but I know it as the Bodhi/Strayfox cut of Sensi Star, since it's the one they both use in their crosses).
I grew Stray's Northern Sensi (Sensi Star x BCSB NL5) a while back (it's in this thread), and it was imo the best pack of seeds I ever grew. One standout plant was an absolute gem. The wife and I referred to her as "sex weed" because well... it was great for that! She was also an incredibly hashy plant, big yielder, would've been a washer's dream. Dumped rosin like no one's business. Knock you in the face menthol terps. Old-school magic kinda high.
Sadly, I lost her to mites, but I'm very excited and optimisitic about this cross. The afghan should be a great out-crosser, and I plan on making F2's, probably using a couple males, to open up and further explore these genetics.
Even though it's still pretty early, I'm seeing 3 general phenos.
Pheno A - 50% of the plants. Short, squat, nearly identical plants leaves and all. 5-6 of them fall into this category.
Pheno B - 25% These are noticeably taller with much wider internode spacing
Pheno C - 25% I'm calling this the "hybrid" pheno for now as they fall somewhere between the A and B phenos.
Again, early to tell much and they can certainly change a lot between now and the finish line, but so far a 50/25/25 split is about as perfect a F1 as you can ask for.
The real test will be the terps. Only plants carrying the menthol terp will be used in breeding. I've identified two Type A plants that have the menthol terp with the stem rub so far.
