awesome! What can you say so far about phenos, veg growth, smell, stretch, estimated yield/flowering days?
still early in flower but they had good vigor in veg
one has regular hybrid sized leaves and the other has thin sativa leaves
i started them about a week after everything else so they really only got 3 weeks of veg but were still the same size or bigger than all the others
theyve had decent stretch in flower.I would say they've doubled in size so far
The one with the regular sized leaves stretched a little more and buds are chunkier and developing faster than the thin leaf pheno
haven't done any stem rubs or noticed the smell of either
I like for the smell to just hit me naturally when i open the tent and the only 2 that does that so far is the Strawberry Lemonade and Lavender Jack(Bodhi)

I agree that EG is kind of a gamble when it comes to herm tendencies but the truth is there are INSANE phenos in all the packs I've ever popped from them.
Cookies+Cream- I found an incredible cut that smells like vanilla ice cream with frost and density second to none.
Moose Tracks- I found 4 keepers all very different but super OG funk with some nice purple tones
Mooseknuckle Jockey- Im currently running this right now and have 3 keepers 2 are Tina leaners with the gas and 1 is the cookie leaner with rock hard buds.
Rainbow Chip- Im currently running this now and all 5 of my females are incredible so far. 2 smell like mango sherb and the other 3 are straight GAS, Purple is starting to come through with probably 10 days till chop.
I also popped 2 packs of Wowzers about a month ago as well as the Chemberrly. Exotic Genetic is by far my favorite breeder but expect some herms......chop them down and move on

It’s not that exotic genetix is a gamble. It’s that anything with cookies is a gamble no matter who the breeder is. If your buying cookie hybrids then expect some male parts but be pleasantly surprised if they don’t show up.

I agree. This pheno of Vanilla Gorilla is throwing some pretty gnarly chunks. I guess without being a master grower or strain selector this information could help someone that may be working with small space, or a beginner like myself.

actually lots of EG strains without cookie lineage herm as well. Look back on this thread and see for yourself. Everyone blames the cookies but there's more hermies now than ever because of the breeding practices that have been taking place. People pollen chuck clone only strains and then sell the packs for $200 without even growing the cross themselves. Then people grow those strains and do their own pollen chuck and so on....

i actually don't mind it because it makes pheno hunting much more fun. If everyone had stable genetics then the phenos wouldn't show nearly as much variation. I buy a pack from EG wanting only one keeper per strain and I've always gotten it.

I just finished two pink 2.0 females from seed and they didn’t give me any trouble. Smoke test will determine if they stick around but nice plants otherwise. Yeah I agree with the 200$ a pack that’s too much for something that wasn’t tested.

I grew vanilla gorilla and ran all strawberries and cream outdoors this year no herms and it was a rough year weather wise they did fantastic the vanilla gorilla is super stable must be something your doing. Spray optic foliar mist to revert herms it works and its natural. You do it early in flower when you have herm prone genetics. It drys the pollen sacks right out. Herms are no big deal if you know how to fix the situation then if its not environment stressors causing it you can breed that trait out if its worth it. I had a whole 12x24 start to herm boss og and sprayed optic foliar switch very lightly twice it cured the problem and I still got 17.5 units of the 12x24 which is basically a zip per square foot

The vanilla gorilla didn't herm but I did say mine tossed a couple nanners. It is actually the best flower to come out of my garden and I only popped 3 beans. I'm just currently in my feelings about the colonel crunch as I'm not having any luck. Maybe my environment caused the self topping mutant phenos in veg. Thanks for the info about the "reversal spray" as well, that could come handy some day.
I just looked and it appears the Colonel Crunch didn't make the "revised drop". I guess it makes me mad to see it flexed so hard, I bought it for the " gnarly blacked out baseball buds"...lol.

So I can't help feel like I paid 150 a pack to test Colonel Crunch and Shaved Monkey. I at least got one big dank plant out of the Shaved Monkey. I also had no idea that all cookies plants are prone to issue? You live and you learn, but that exotic mike guy out fishing with my money and I'm tryin to get out the hood. It kinda sucks.

Yep anything with cookies has a chance to throw intersex parts. There’s also very dank plants to be found but you gotta remember cookies originated from a herm accident. That being said a buddy and I found a very nice keeper plant out of cookies n cream. She will throw a few lower ball sacks if you have any light leak or other stressful environment conditions. Her smoke is well worth plucking a few sacks.

Halfway through she's like burnt rubber, then changes to a very fruity Dosi-esque smell. After the cure is more like a berry smoothie, my cousin said it smells like "Clean Fruit" wtf ever that means. LOL
