What type of expectations should I have in terms of AAs and aroma properties from first year plants?
I know that measuring AAs is tough but it's of little concern to me. More so than anything I guess I'm just wondering how much of an educated guess can I make with each first year strain based on past experiences with commercial versions? Will there be changes in terms of AAs and aroma potency between first year and second or beyond? Does having jumbo rhizomes impact anything other than just vegatative growth (They ARE more prolific in every sense)?
They are just going nuts lately in terms of cone production and vegetative growth but I seem to recall reading that the first year isn't as viable in terms of gauging the true quality of bittering or aroma. Does this ring true based on experience or things folks have read?
