Good thing that Capulator didn't do that with his slow to veg MAC1 cut before he flowered it out, as his cut is currently one of the most coveted out there in 2021, and as mentioned notoriously slow in veg.
Those are stories recounting flukes. Like some random guy out of the blue giving Kushman a Strawberry Cough, GG4 & 5 rescued from a compost pile, and a few more. Hopping for a winner in a bag is wishful thinking.
MAC1 isn't the only well known cut which is slow in veg but makes up for it in flower. As previously mentioned Franco's breeder cut of Super Lemon Haze, which I have grown, is also slow in veg. Same with PCG's Kush Mintz. Trying to judge how your flowers will be based on how it vegges is not a winning path to follow, in my opinion. Don't forget that all the famous Chemdog cuts were also bag seed. I bet Chemdog is still kicking himself today for culling the males from his first run of that bag seed.
so I need a male. And I'll be lucky if seeds ripen because it finishes in 12 weeks from seed.
You could always reverse one of the females.I have another that will grow 12' in a 2 gallon pot that was a result of accidental extreme stressing, and I kept it instead of killing it. The one on the far left is over 6' tall. 1 in 50 is a 10 inch dwarf. I've been trying to capture it for years, but the dwarfs have all been females to far and will not clone
Update: took your advice and after a couple days of recovery from transplant.. She's starting to thrive, branching out and I was already able to top her.
That's difficult for a couple reasons. It finished so fast, I don't know if the seeds would have time to ripen. Another things is when you reverse a female, you tend to get phenos from the lineage. For example, if you reverse a GG4, chances are pretty good you'd get some Chem and Chocolope phenos. That said, I've done it a few times
