I think it is worth growing what you are excited about and what will be fun. Herms are easy enough to spot and remove, albeit never what you want to find. I have yet to have a herm plant I couldn't clean up and take all the way through.

That’s reassuring. Many people say to trash any seeds that herm though, so I’m still not sure! It’s good to hear that catching a herm early and removing can work out.

If it’s known to herm, being you’re a new grower, I’d be looking at another strain bro. Go with Triangle Kush S1. Everyone raves about it
As someone who's still a relatively new grower as compared to some of the oldtimers here, I'd suggest starting small. A 2x4 tent is easier/cheaper to light than a 4x4. And even though you can legally have 5 plants, it may be beneficial to start out with one, especially if you don't garden or otherwise grow plants. Get your sea legs on a day trip before you ship out to sea for 4 months, so to speak. You can always expand into a perpetual grow. I mean, you can always shrink too--that's how some of us find relatively new gear for cheap on FB Marketplace.

Thanks
Thanks! I will take the chat’s advice and avoid the herm-prone lemon party for my first grow.
I’ll buy a pack and keep it for later.

Yeah, I agree. A smart first step is growing 1 plant from start to finish successfully. I shouldn’t run 2 seeds at once until I know I can do 1. Although, I can’t imagine me changing my mind about wanting to eventually run a separate veg tent and flower tent simultaneously. If I only buy one 2x4 tent to start with, I can already imagine future me scrambling to purchase that 2nd 2x4 tent setup as quick as possible, to not delay my next grow cycle…hahaahaAs someone who's still a relatively new grower as compared to some of the oldtimers here, I'd suggest starting small.

I disagree, I'd absolutely run a couple plants at once for your first time. Some plants are just duds. You don't want your only plant to be a dud or a hermie. You'll then get to see how all your plants requirements are slightly different from nutrients to watering frequency. Just don't make your growing area too big that you can't get to and see everything. Like don't do a 5x5 where you can't see if something is hermie in the back. So if your canopy is only 1 plant deep but 4 plants wide then you should be able to see everything and have some good plants and some not so good. If you grow like 4 or 5 then if you find a hermie or a bad plant it's no big deal to cull it and let the others consume it's space. Flip early and keep the plants smallish for your first time.

Growing more than one seed your first grow gives you insurance in case a plant doesn't do well. Some plants may do better in your setup than others or be more resilient than others, even if they are from the same cross. You will also learn more by observing different plants and will get a better idea of how different genetics perform. Growing is a journey built on experience. Popping more than one seed will give you more experience. Just my 2 cents, I know others disagree. Do whatever is the most fun and don't feel like you have to hold yourself back because you are new at this.

That makes sense. May as well run two seeds in a 2x4 instead of 1, since the space is available and it’s good to have a backup, as well as be able to learn and compare. I do agree with that. Thanks!

Pic1 is just a perfect example of why people grow outside! Unmatchable indoors, a perfect dense beast soaking up every last drop of sun. Great job

Thanks for the kind words! I have to agree it's hard to match the raw power of the sun. She really enjoyed her life that's for sure.
I got a pack of these as a freebie from him

Hey guys. I know what T1000 is but what is Z1000? Is it Zkittlez x Trump? (Trumps Candy)?
Reason I ask is I just ordered Z1000 x Wedding Cake

yeah Z-1000 is Trumps Candy.
There is a #7 and a #5 selection that has good reputation going around. In the Founding Fathers forum a fellah had said all 6 of his Z-1000 #7's x Obama Kush where keepers.
I think CSI rebranded trump1000 to T-1000 after too many people had superficial complaints in Cali/Oregon. Although he kept "trumps Candy" on his website for the 500$ pack so some of the older packs still have the old name. Speakeasyseedbank had packs from CSI last year listed as Z-1000 x Forbidden Fruit instead of Trumps candy as well but in parenthesis in strain information he called it trumps candy. I think it's just a marketing thing from the past and now hes using Z-1000 moving forward to avoid friction.
The same thing with his Pure OG Kush x Chem 91 freebies, the freebie packs are labeled just that on the packs but on his website it's listed as "Pure Bred." I think he just found a name for it after he already packaged up some of the freebies in the past.
Redbeard still keeps it named Trump, I'm surprised people took it politically when his seedbank is called "founding fathers genetics" and he has an Obama Kush. Actually wait no i'm not surprised... people will politicize anything

Wasn’t his Pure kush x 91 freebie actually made from a select chem 91 s1? If so it’s gonna be different than pure kush x chem 91.

You are correct! Thanks for catching my mistake. After planting the seed I never paid attention to the Freebie packaging again. I just wrote Pure OG X chem91 on the identifying tab and tossed the package back in. And then later when I was searching through CSI's seeds he had offered and I saw Pure Bred. Figured it was the same thing just named. There is a definite labeling distinction between Pure Bred and the freebie. I need to go back into some posts here and on IG to edit the name to Chem 91 S1.
Looking through my freebies it seems he hit quite a few things with that S1-91. I got a trainwreck/Irene/GSC freebie mixed with it as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has multiple S1's that are better than the original cuts.
