So most people that are saying to do 2 runs are making some selection before the second run right?
So how often do these selections match your pre smoke favourites?
Almost never.

I do it like this.
1. plant seeds
2. veg them,than take cuttings at least 2-3 of one mother.
3. put at least 2 clones in flower of one mother.
4.harvest,dry and cure them.
5. smoke them,review them
6. repot in bigger pots mothers i want to stay ,kill the rest and thats it.
Were the 2 you gave a second chance to your favourites even before you smoked their buds?
everything improves the second round
You really can't pick until you smoke. Your frostiest plants are not always the best. It's the Cannabinoid profile of ea plant you need to smoke on to tell who's the winner. The hard part is when plants as so close to ea other picking 1 isn't easy.
I like to harvest, smoke then revegg..I guess I'm crazy but keeping cuts from everything sounds complicated. I just always raise the hours of light towards the end and feed them rain. If I want to I can revegg it!You really can't pick until you smoke. Your frostiest plants are not always the best.

There is some differences between the seed run and the clone run, most of the time the buds from the clone have a better structure and slightly different shape. I see it with every strains I have done from seeds and after from clones. That's why it's important to make at least two runs before selecting a keeper.I don't recall the second run ever really making a difference. Once the original seed plant finishes the clone is ready to go. So I run it. If it did something unexpected that would be the reveg attempt scenario for me. The little reveg experience I have came early when I didn't understand as much about cloning and grafting.

A very varied response! Aroma in flower is very important to me personally - I love sitting among my flowering plants, inspecting them... inhaling their scent.
So a real keeper will have to impress me in flower as well as with her dried/cured buds - so perhaps I should be eliminating plants with no interesting aromas in flower as they will never be real long term keepers for me even if they smoke well.
Then if the plants that smell good in flower don't smoke well then I have no keepers from that grow and I move on...
Sounds logical if scent is such a big factor for you personally ..what good a sour diesel seed that has no sour ,what good a blueberry that have no sweetness/berry ,what good a cheese that isn't cheesy..but i will say,..often a plant can surprise you when you come to smoke it with it's amazing high .or when its dry and cured ...sometimes the plants that reek in flower are less pronounced when dry and cured .and plants less smelly in flower..... really reek when you crack a dry cured bud open,so imo don't be too hasty use all your god given senses to select
Yes I agree - and I'm interested in knowing if plants can go from being aroma free on the first run to being aroma rich on the second.
