I think he has a different cut than what most in my area & north of me have. It looks and sounds like it, except the 2.5 week veg part. I know only of 2 different MOB cuts, one veg's quick, and the other veg's slow. Most veg real slow, including mine, and that was why I made the S1's. To bring back some vigor to the line. I know there are some beauties in the S1's.
