She's 19 inches tall @ chop at 60 days, but full heavy buds top to bottom. Only gave it about 2 weeks of veg. I figure it would yield very well with normal 4 weeks; this one looks like it could be a zip and a half when dry, maybe a little more.
I use those sort of beans as backups in case the primary beans either don't pop, stall out, or don't give the amount of shirleys I need. It doesn't hurt much to toss them if not needed. It always adds a little fun and intrigue to the mix if one makes it to finish. This one looks just like an IHG cookies and creme I ran about a year ago. Now if only it smokes as good.....
Do you ever keep clones or you just pop'em and go?I use those sort of beans as backups in case the primary beans either don't pop, stall out, or don't give the amount of shirleys I need.

I start a group of seeds in late spring to make clones for the once a year back deck pollen chuck in the fall. Otherwise, as you say, pop'em, grow 'em, and move on. I grok the benefits of 'keepers', but I'm invested big in seeds and want to see what's in them. I get a few disappointments, several winners, and mostly in between on the high side. But I'm a variety guy. I like the cabinet to have many jars of many flavors.
I can dig it. I need to start popping more and cloning less. More variety is always nice.
Just now sampling. Dried, it retains the strong orange scent. A good flush equals a smooth burning, orange treat with a real nice jolt not even half way burned. Goes in the jars tonight.
hmmm nice, like how you covered your fingertips! safety first always!
Nice nugs and what a handsome family you have.
Firstly, I onIy got the one girl from 5 beans, never saw herms, and I watched her pretty closely because she was so pretty. The beans were found while I did final trim. I've smoked a couple of medium size buds, and found no seeds in those, so I'm assuming for the moment these few are a surprise bonus.Nice nugs and what a handsome family you have.
There's lots of Green line bashing going on, so I've got to ask, did any of them herm on you? I steered away from them, but if they're legit, I'll be trying them out, for sure.
I've got 8 left in the pack.
So, who's the one that "got away"? 1 or 3 that you still pine for?
I had a killer ripped bubba a few years ago that I ran a few times. She destroyed the SSDDs I ran at the same time, and finished 2 weeks sooner with good yield. I also took a long spin with Goji, and built up a stash of many jars. Loved that smoke, but frankly, I got bored with it with a few jars remaining. A mutant Chernobyl was the limest and frostiest freak I've ever seen. Friends still bring it up 5 years later.
I smoked both plants in record time and only have 3 beans left. More Cowbell is another. Cookies and Creme. 3D. But even while I'm enjoying the harvests, I'm looking at the stash box of beans and planning the next competitors list. I've got a return appearance from ripped bubba in the current seedling group, but otherwise 10 first timers. It's certainly a less reliable approach than keepers and clones, but for me, the surprise and intrigue is half the enjoyment of the grow.
