Alrighty - Going through the weed fridge and consolidating and sorting al the recent piles... Other than the fact that I love growing and smoking, I do this as a public service to give any insight I can to a strain I have tried or a breeder I had good or poor results from.
I have a few tins that have 5 compartments and probably holds about 2zips packed full, but I keep the last of the fire strains in one, and the last of the other stuff in another. Basically bowl weed and joint weed. The rest of the fridge is full of 800ml and 1200ml tins and some of those have dividers and have Member Berry on one side and Grandpa's Stash on the other (for example) if they have similar profiles, same breeder, same grow, whatever.
The Two DeChempose are still on the scales... weighing the buzz against the Chemdog. Unfortunately all chems will be judged that way. Other strains I love have a different buzz and might get kept even if they aren't as potent as long as it's a desired effect. If I grow a chem I don't want to smoke a disappointing chem. I can grow better ones.
The 2 later Momma Moonshine were both keepers but I decarbed the early one. One has a little more of a cheese/fermented smell than the other but both have a half-a-joint buzz that lasts. The one I identified at about week 4 of flower turned out to be the one I like best and is what I remembered so that is satisfying.
Three of the clones in flower are all justified following the cured-smoke check. The Sky Cuddler I haven't tried yet, but the Sangria Cookies is a definite top-shelf - it just isn't a big yielder. I'm hoping that one of the SkunkXXX from TH Seeds stands out from the other since the plants are so different now that they are mature, but the moms got dumped together - and are both keepers. It has a skunk smell! It's just not that loud. It has that high though which is all that matters. Perma-grin and let's do something! Both were far superior to the Bluperskunk from Riot.
All the one-off's like the Lemon Tree, the MAC cross and such take up almost no room. The mini fridge full of stuff I can't cull plus the fact that I had to flip the most recent batch without topping and getting that clone - Karma. I am done cloning for the near future. Nothing I dropped is the last of anything, and most are the first.
I always have the option to snag a flower clone if I find a unicorn, but my unicorns have been far less rare. Either my standards are too low or I have an amazing selection of beans to grow - neither is changing any time soon
My solution is the 1/2" bucket grid. I bust up all the multi-nug flowers - tops especially - and get rid of all the stem. I break everything down to it's lowest common denominator and then roll it across a grid. Any larf, lowers or shake get sifted out. Depending on volume and how much I love it I might toss all that in a coffee grinder for a pulse or two (it has no stems) and do some pre-rolls or just send it to the freezer for hash.
