Sour Skunk ?

Our selected Tangie #9 mother which was especially characterized by her immense orange terpene profile was once again paired with a Skunk male. The original genetics of the Tangie from Crockett’s Family Farm is a cross between a California Orange and a Skunk #1, so we decided to pollinate our own selected Tangie again with a Skunk #1 “Pheno #9” male to not deviate far from the original genetics.

Tropical Skunk ?

Our selected Tangie #10 mother which was especially characterized by her immense mandarin/peach terpene profile was once again paired with a Skunk male. The original genetics of the Tangie from Crockett’s Family Farm is a cross between a California Orange and a Skunk #1, so we decided to pollinate our own selected Tangie again with a Skunk #1 “Pheno #9” male to not deviate far from the original genetics.

Mad Banana

Banana Joe #22 was one of our phenotypes from the Banana Joe, which was very noticeable for its sour rotten banana aroma. Her growth was a bit sativa heavy with a slight foxtail formation. Her resin content is as with any Banana Joe above average present. Indoors her yields are average but outdoors she can reach her limits even better.

To keep her terpene profile as close as possible to the mother genetics, we have selected a Critical Kush male which does not have a great effect on the taste profile (recessive), but increases the yield well, which could be an advantage for indoor growers.

It’s getting Rocky
Critical Cake #3 – F2 Generation

Brief introduction to Critical Cake: This is a cross between a Wedding Cake F4 and a Critical Kush male.

The Critical Cake #3 had the property to form a solid middle of both genetics. It grew straight up with tight side shoots that all had a solid bud structure. What made this phenotype different was that she did not roll her hairs inward at the end of flowering, but only turned them a light brown orange. Its smell and taste were reminiscent of a very gassy Skunk OG.

We could already test some of these seeds and the result was on average very close to the mother genetics (see attached picture). The result was an increase in yield and an immense hard flower structure that can easily lead to mold if you do not have your humidity under control. However, this possible cross shows a hermie here and there, which is why special attention should be paid at the beginning of flowering.

Critical Grandma

The ultimate blend from our “Critical” crosses.

Our female Critical Kush phenotype comes from the same batch as our selected male Critical Kush. Our female phenotype stood out for its particularly unique and sweet OG Kush flavors that bring a very light berry undertone. The whole thing now crossed with our already own cross called Critical Cake (Wedding Cake x Critical Kush), resulted in Critical Grandma.

The result of this cross produced two very different results. While some phenotypes are very similar to the phenotype of the mother, others are very similar to the phenotype of the father. You can recognize the phenotypes of the father by the fact that they show more purple at the end of flowering and keep more white hairs, instead of dark brown and bushy, as is the case with the phenotypes that come more after the mother.

Caribbean Cake ?

When you think of the Caribbean, you think of a vacation on the beach under the sun with tropical fruits and a refreshing drink that makes you melt.

Well, maybe it won’t make you melt but the Caribbean Cake will bake you well.

Our wish was to create a strain that takes the slightly tropical terpene profile of Caribbean Kush and harmonizes well with the slightly gassy berry note of Critical Cake.

Did we succeed? This is what we have to find out…

Grandma’s Orange Cake ?

Who doesn’t miss trying grandma’s new things? Who knows the grandmothers, who also knows that they love to experiment. We don’t know if our sour orange profile will get along with the slightly gassy berry profile, but that’s exactly why we didn’t mind taking this little dusting to possibly find something completely new.

Our Acid Orange had a very sativa profile with a slight fox tail formation just like her Tangie mother which was used for this cross.

We thought that our Critical Cake male might be able to curb the foxtail growth a bit.

You always wanted to be a pastry critic? Then now is the time!

T10 Cake aka Tropical Cake ?

T10 Cake is our backup in case the Tropical Mandarin/Peach doesn’t come through enough in the Caribbean Kush x Critical Cake cross.

Grandma’s Banana Cake ?

Not everyone likes oranges or tangerines. That’s why we took one of our absolute favorite phenotypes of Banana Joe to pollinate it with our selected Critical Cake male.

Banana Joe is always characterized by its sour rotten banana aroma. However, she has here and there a slightly subliminal haze bubblegum note which tends to dominate.

However the outcome will be, it will certainly be frosty.

Erdbeer Gelato ?

Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of tasting a real Gelato strain will probably never forget it.

Thanks to the universe, one of our friends from the Collective was blessed enough to get his hands on these genetics and give us a cut of them.

This is the only cut or genetics that we did not select ourselves but was given to us as a gift.

Since at that time we were working on a line that focused on a good THC/CBD balance, we added the Gelato and pollinated it with two of our Erdpurt males.

The first Erdpurt male had a very unique look that reflected both of the main phenotypes of the females that were most common in our phenohunt of Erdpurt.

The second Erdpurt male had certain semi-autoflowering characteristics. It still went into pre-bloom despite high light hours but did not fully flower. It just shows how much it wants to bloom and that it can hardly wait to drop its pollen, no matter how many hours the sun is shining.

To increase the gene pool and the possibility of working on an autoflowering line we have both males pollinated at the same time to gain as much diversity in phenotypes as possible.

Grandpa’N’ma in Panama ?

Panama #1 was our absolute favorite pheno which we selected from an F11 Generations batch from ACE Seeds.

Panama #1 grew very fast and vital, stretched the most in flowering and had a very nice resin trim that felt very very oily between the fingers when touched.

Her terpene profile is very much in the lime Haze range which immediately took us back to old times when we first tasted Haze strains back in the day. Many would immediately think of a good Lemon Haze.

Her effect was invigorating and put a grin on everyone’s face, so she was the first choice to include in our THC/CBD line and continue to work on.

Panamapurt ?

Our selected Panama #2 phenotype was a perfect blend between the #1 and #3.

She grew very vigorously at a good pace, but kept a little smaller than the #1. Her yield was a little higher than the #1, but still less than the #3. The resin content was just as oily as all the other phenotypes. Her terpene profile, however, deviated a bit from the limonene and brought a very subtle earthy pinene note.

Grand Pandemic ?

Panama #3 was our pheno that grew the stoutest.

Despite its short stature, or perhaps because of it, Panama #3 produced the thickest buds at the end of its flowering period, which had a beautiful resin trim.

Her leaves showed a subtle purple at the end of the flowering phase as well as some pistils. Her flavor profile was mixed from a light sparkling lime note to an earthy pine forest finish.

Her effect went in a more relaxing direction that will get you through a pandemic without driving you crazy because you may have an energy surplus.

Grandma’s Orange Haze ?

As mentioned in some of our posts and stories, Tangie #9 is one of our absolute phenotypes for decades. Its particularly strong orange flavor that stands above everything else is simply legendary.

Her growth is vital and sativa dominant. She never liked to have many leaves taken away from her. Especially at the end of the flowering phase you had to be especially careful with her because she has otherwise also like to hang out the diva.

So if you are not into egg salad you should pay special attention to this lady when she needs it.

However, our Deep Neville #9 male grew very sativa-heavy with long internode spacing, large awning leaves that had thin, widely spaced leaf fingers.

This male reminded us a lot of one of our old Tangie males from back in the day that unfortunately got lost, so we thought it was right to bring the two together and see how they harmonize.

Our selected Deep Neville #6 male grew like a perfect hybrid. Beautiful leaves like from a picture book and a high potency in terms of yield. This pheno produced many pollen sacs with a subtle purple hue which may be due to the Deep Chunk parents from which the Deep Neville (Deep Chunk x Neville’s Haze) originated.

We expect this cross to be a solid Haze that reminds us of the old days, like lying on the beach in Panama with some Neville’s Haze.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of tasting a real gelato will probably never forget it. This very unique taste that settles on the tongue and reminds you of a good hazelnut ice cream is simply indescribable.

Thanks to a friend of the collective we received a cut selected by himself from a few bagseeds.

This is the only genetics that we have not selected ourselves, but have taken in confidence to us, because it simply has a beautiful unique growth and at the end of flowering brings out its most beautiful clothes and shows itself in full purple splendor.

The Deep Neville #9 male grew very sativa heavy with long internode spacing, large sun sail leaves that had thin widely spaced leaf fingers.

This cross is definitely a mix of new hype genetics and a really old line that has some legends in its reference.

Our Critical Cake, which is a cross between a Wedding Cake F4 and a Critical Kush male, stands out especially for its special berry Kush aroma.

It grows very fast and steeply upwards and has only a few branches which in turn all stretch quickly upwards. This phenotype grew very well indoors and outdoors and formed very beautiful flowers with proper care. It preferred a mild climate and not too high temperatures.

Since there were two interesting Deep Neville males available for a possible pollination, but they should not both pollinate at the same time, this was done in separate runs to see exactly which male is better suited for a possible Purple Haze variety.
