Yep. Not all but most. The sad thing is, as breeders they probably can't keep up if they don't put out 1k crosses a year lol. I'm working on one and it's taken me forever. I don't understand how anyone puts out 100 + strains in a couple years and even try to test them lol.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure there are pics on exotic's instagram of hundreds of little labeled containers with familiar strain names from before they were released. Actually if you look close you'll see names you don't recognize, b/c they probably didn't make it. This goes back 3 yrs plus. Shit there's even a short video on leafly where you can see his op and his test area.

Me too, but the first run is usually just an idea of what they can do. The clone run always tells the truth. They are slow(as they should be), but very stout and bushy for their size. No stretch in flower......i mean 20% would be pushing it. Very different from anything else i am growing.
I bet she'll pop out more trich production in clone run. How many beans did ya pop by the way?

5, three females, 2 males. both males showed sex early, and were popping out full blown sacs. I got nervous and killed both, but now wish I kept them just to play with. I wrote them off as auto's. 2 females short bushy, and compact, look very similar, smell the same, and both growing at the same slow pace. 3rd female was stretchy and lanky, and got killed off due to bugs. I've got some kind of root aphid i think, probably from helping out buddies and starting their outdoor plants in my room. Should have never brought that fox farm soil in my room...... I swear they only like the fruity plants. They don't seem to mess with anything chem, sour, or even cookie....but anything that's fruity they love.

Anyone ever have problems with germination rates from Exotic?? I have a pack of Chocolate Oranges that only 1 popped so far, germ'd it at the same time as 4 other packs and no problems with those packs...
I soak my seeds in 50% Peroxide 50% RO water over night.... they usually have tails in the am then into rooting plugs inside a dome with a heat mat under that... 100% germination rate... then I get involved most make it to the flower room or compost pile (males).

Running Citrus Berry right now...@ 60+ days about to harvest with next run is Labyrinth just starting to flower still in stretch.

I've found that to help Exotic gear stretch better and I've ran strains related to the Cube, is lighting makes a difference. Under blurple.. no stretch, under COBs (3K VERO 29) 2X or more stretch.

Exotic Citrus Berry - organic soil & water. 60ish days - 4 different plants here :

Foxtailing a bit?
A hair..... :weed:

They are all doing it a little bit... harvested 2 of them the other day... To be fair I did change lighting right @ 55 days. I was moving some large Chemdawg VEG plants into the flower room .... they were/are too tall for my setup so I had to move lights and plants already in flower around. Got a few fox tails after..and they started throwing out so new pistols and fattening up so I let them go.... just about ready to harvest.

Them fox tails make for good joints...no need to break them up at all...

This my keeper starfighter male...atleast i think it is a male... i was sure it was; but still too hard to tell honestly. definitely a later flowering one if so. hope it is though; really want to breed with it. the purple started as some pretty dominant purple stripes on main stem; but has evolved to just taking over the entire plant.

If you're growing outdoors which it looks like from the pic - take a cutting and put it under 12/12 or 11/13 watch what happens.. it may be quite while before you see sex outside this time of year.

If indoors the Starfighter line sometimes takes FOREVER to show... I can tell the males by their smell now... they have more of a fresh grassy smell when the females smell a little more skunky before they show.

I'm finishing up Citrus Berry (just waiting for a less humid day to chop) and starting out with a new round of Labyrinth .... the Labyrinth has The Cube for the father... I couldn't tell which VEG plants were female or male... I chose un-wisely... 4 times in a row until I finally got some females. Didn't use my own advice on the smell but verified on the way to the compost bin. The next group got the ultimatum.... Female or burn in fire.

They chose wisely... looking at a 10 days in flower before any flowers. I'm right there now - stretch then flowers ..

that purpling of the stem is nutrient deficiency, you are torturing that poor plant.

Not... I run a lot of Exotic seeds.. purple stems is a genetic trait.

I'm open to your suggestion about nutrient deficiency cause I have purple stems and purple buds and sometimes even purple leaves. ...... please enlighten me Obi-Wan.... I believe you, but I just don't believe you.

Example of Citrus Berry @ 60ish days..... purple stems purple flowers AND purple petioles, for sure 100% no nutrient issues... plant grown in organic soil tested at our State Ag university thru the extension program. Soil dialed in perfect.

Truth! I've run Kimbo a couple time now and they always take frustratingly long to sex.

I think the other poster is correct in that its genetic. I've had multiple Kimbos with the purple striping so I wonder if it is the starfighter male.

It's genetic for the vast majority of genes out there however phos deficiency can cause this in strains where this isn't a genetic issue. If it is phos deficiency this issue will show as well as all the other phos deficiency signs. This is common well shared knowledge for many generations now.

When your plants are deficient in phosphorus, this can overall reduce the size of your plants. Not enough causes slow growth and causes the plant to become weak, to little amount of Phosphorus causes slow growths in leaves that may or may not drop off. The edges all around the leaves or half of the leaves can be brownish and work its way inwards a bit causing the part of the leaves to curl up in the air a bit. Fan leaves will show dark greenish/purplish and yellowish tones along with a dullish blue color to them. Sometimes the stems can be red, along with red petioles that can happen when having a Phosphorus deficiency. This isn’t a sure sure sign of you having one though, but can be a sign. Some strains just show the red petioles and stems from its genes.
So pretty much the overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint to the fan leaves is a good sign of a Phosphorus deficiency. Having Cold weather (below 50F/10C) can make phosphorous absorption very troublesome for plants.
Many people get a Phosphorus deficiency confused with a fungus problem because the ends of the leaves look like a fungus problem, But the damage occurs at the end of the leaves. side of the leaves and has a glass like feeling to it as if it had a ph problem. Parts affected by a phosphorus deficiency are: Older Leaves, Whole plant, Petioles.

Too much Phosphorus levels affect plant growth by suppressing the uptake of: Iron, potassium and Zinc, potentially causing deficiency symptoms of these nutrients to occur def in plants. A Zinc deficiency is most common under excessive phosphorus conditions,
As well as causing other nutrients to have absorption troubles like zinc and copper. Phosphorus fluctuates when concentrated and combined with calcium
