Based on my experience with these strains I'd say that Cream Mandarine is by far the best plant Sweet Seeds offers. The consistency, yield, perfect formation of the buds, excellent potency, great bag appeal, awesome flavor, equally awesome smell, and super easy to trim, make it amazing. Until I find a better option half my plants are gong to be Cream Mandarine from now on.
The Dark Devils were definitely next, all grew and yielded consistently, and were the fastest finishers of the group. Bag appeal is insane, smell and bud formation were also good. Really enjoy the flavor of the 2 plants that didn't go dark purple, not so much the one that almost went black. The lighter 2 are sweet and skunky, while the darker one is very earthy.
Next is the Killer Kush, which was a close call, but even the one KK that struggled with N-toxicity still produced rock hard buds. Arguably the strongest smell of the group with a classic kush stink. Taste is right there as well, and the color is almost neon green. First one didn't yield well (just over 2 oz), and the second is on the small side too, but the third is a beast so she should make up the difference.
Next is the Jack 47, though only 1 of my 3 actually performed well, it did so well that I'm putting it in the 4th spot. I don't have numbers on the 2 not so pretty J47s yet, but J47-2 is my biggest yielder from this crop so far at just over 7oz. All the buds are dense and pretty with a cheesey smell to them. Great bag appeal and high, but I need to be careful with these next grow through as they seem a bit finicky with the nutes.
Next is the Red Poison. Honestly if it wasn't for RP-1 I wouldn't even consider doing this strain. One of the girls had wrinkly leaves throughout and both that one and another stretched so much that the buds became whispy. The RP-1 however looked like a 2 liter bottle growing a stick, yielded over 5oz, and finished in 9 weeks. The bud, bag appeal, consistency, and flavor still isn't as good as Dark Devil so I doubt I'll be doing RP again.
Last is the Big Devil as all started good but then all 4 tanked down the stretch. I tried so hard to back off on the nutes, but all 4 got stressed and went hermy which has made all the buds look like garbage. They seem to be yielding well at over 4oz per plant, but the buds look so shitty I'm just gonna turn it all in hash oil and make some shatter wax. Very disappointing but I think operator error was to blame, so I'll give this strain another chance and just be more careful.
Ultimately these strains had to much variety in what they needed nutrient wise for me to give the majority the same feed. Even in making 3 different batch of nutes for each feed with one light, normal, and heavy on the base nutes my girls still suffered. Looking forward to trying out a cycle next with 6 plants added every 2 weeks, and all 6 being the same strain, or at most 2 strains with 3 of each.
This was a great use of August and September, these LED panels actually let me get a full grow in even with Temps consistently in the 80s-90s F.
