The Cross
Two geographically distinct elite lineages collided on purpose. Breeder Steve‘s Vancouver work on one side, JJ NYC’s New York Chemdog dynasty on the other.
The composition traces to four sources: 50% Northern Lights #1 through the mother, 25% Chemdog 4 and 12.5% Chem D through the father, and 12.5% Afghan #1 anchoring the base.
The Parents
The Sweet Pink Grapefruit clone has moved through Vancouver for over thirty five years and it is synonymous with the BC Bud that defined that market. The best genealogical evidence points to it being a unique phenotype of Northern Lights #1, but where standard NL of that era was earthy, SPG was an anomaly, and that expression is what caught Breeder Steve’s attention. He founded Spice of Life Seeds in 1995 and built his program on her, including the 1996 cross to DJ Short‘s Blueberry male that produced the Sweet Tooth line and its cup wins.
Her defining trait as a breeding plant is dominance. Steve grew out 500 F1 seeds from SPG crossed to a Northern Lights and Haze male. 498 came back resembling the mother. Two expressed recessive Haze traits. That kind of consistency is close to unheard of in a polyhybrid, and it is exactly why she was chosen here: she acts as a reliable template with the Star Dawg layered on top.
Star Dawg is Chem 4 crossed to Tres Dawg, from JJ NYC at Top Dawg Seeds. The Kate Upton cut contributes the stocky frame.
What’s In The Pack
Ten regular photoperiod seeds, males included. Given the mother’s dominance, this is an unusually low risk pack to hunt. The question is which plant you keep, not whether you get one.
In The Garden
62-75 days. Moderate difficulty, medium to high yield, on the Kate Upton frame.
Photo and grow: RichTerps on Discord
Great growth and frost levels on this. Decently fat trich heads and good terps across, though I washed most of this and wasn’t as much yield as I hoped (probably user error, new to washing). I get that hint of grapefruit. Ended up growing 5 of these and 2 would be keeper worthy imo which is a good rate.
An incredible plant all around, checks every box, structure, aroma, effects, flavor… are all top notch. More on the greasy side. Definitely one of my favorite cultivars to date.
I absolutely did not play $46, I got an auto reverse auction and got it for pennies on the dollar. This is the best site to buy seeds from. And despite the cost, it always grows really amazing flower
I enjoyed this smoke 60 flower time
These Seeds are Amazing!!!! They take whatever I throw at them and still look gorgeous!!! <3<3
