Perpetual SoG Keeper Strains

[RJE231]

So I've been growing micro style for about 2 years now and basically I've gone through a bunch of strains/money to find my "keeper" strain. I thought this could both help myself pick a better strain (cause I'm thinking of buying more seeds) and others who are starting out or in the same boat as myself.

Anyways I'll start, I'm basically looking for something that can be purchased online for a reasonable price so availability is important. My personal keeper is Joey Weed's C99:

-Easy to grow, clone, and predict growth
-Nice stretch ratio, after rooting 2-3 days veg then into 12/12 and you'll end up with a nice ~16" single cola plant packed with buds to the soil
-Fast flowering times, 50-55 days and this one is truly ready to cut
-Lowish odor, very sweet candy smell probably rates as medium-low odor - good for stealth
-High quality buds, the high can be adjusted quite easily by letting it go another 5-8 days for a more indica high

Prolly sounds like a shill for this strain or something but I've spent easily over $500 on strains and this one is my keeper, 80% of my cuts going into 12/12 are C99 and the rest is just trials to find more "keepers". I thought this idea could save people who are looking for a VERY specific plant type a lot of time/money.

I've seen several positive posts on Joey Weed's C99. I'm wishing I hadn't already ordered other seeds, but this will probably be in my next order if I remember.

I am going to have to look for that. Dutch passion strawberry cough grows like that for me. the flowering time is about 2 weeks longer.

bump. This is a good thread idea.

How about AK? Ive not grown it but maybe a good one.

I was thinking about buying BOG's Bogglegum. I've heard its real low odor and a lot of keeper pheno's in the pack.

I used to grow AK 48 under 150w Hps in perpetual SOG, the strain did very well. Right now I have 30 satoris from Mandala seeds under 4 x 55 Watts of pl-l in 1l milk/yoghurt/juice cartons, but I'm still dialing it in, here's a pic:

I am at about the same place except I am set up to keep 7 moms so haven't really had to ditch much yet. Well, a few but nothing that I regret yet!! For me, it is about variety and I also try to help with some starts for friends that do the outdoor thing.

Flavors and high are certainly preference, and is the biggest reason I like variety, but for growth it seems most of what I find will work in a micro sog. FME, there aren't a lot that don't but there are some. Anything that is branchy or that has MINIMAL stretch are tough for a sog. I have one that I love but it won't stretch for me and never produces, and I have another that stretches out too much and really struggles in small pots. Otherwise I have been pretty lucky I guess with only minor imperfections!

I have Apollo 11 from JW and I will say it is great. Production isn't off the charts but it is fast and that makes up for it some. Flowering smell is minimal but it still has a nice rich lemon flavor with a very clear up buzz and buds are always nice and tight too so it is a good cfl sog strain. Same could be said about my LA Woman except it is really potent and reeks of coffee/hash, so I only ever run one or two plantlets at a time. I have 2 SOL Blubonic phenos that I like. One is a great producer and like the A11 and LAW gives nice hard nugs all the way down the stalk. 10 weeks and it is a strong creeper body buzz with a nice bluberry flavor and smell. This one just reaches for the light the entire grow and packs on tons of trichromes so it looks great too.

If I had to go down to a minimum I could take the A11, LAW, and BluBonic and they would cover my variety needs for flavor and also for sat, indie and hybrid highs. They are also near perfect sog strains from a growth perspective. Satori and Aurora Indica are next in the cue so we will see if either of them earn a spot. Then it is on to a couple crosses I did and some bag seeds that I have found near keepers in, and some BB/skunk cross a friend gave me... fun fun fun!

Female Seeds Northern Lights is a good one
