The Cross
A flavor pack built on old school heavy hitters, and the mother has a better story than most plants in this catalog.
The Parents
Bio-Diesel is Sensi Star crossed to Sour Diesel. Sensi Star made its name in the nineties as a multiple cup winner. Bio-Diesel itself won the 2009 Harvest Cup in Colorado, and it was developed and held by Denver Relief, who were notoriously protective of it.
The way it escaped is the interesting part. One of their patients, a grower called Koots, went through Bio-Diesel by the ounce in 2009 and 2010, and in one of those batches he found about twenty mature seeds. He had been trying to get a cut for a long time and the ounce gave him one.
Stardawg is Chem 4 crossed to Tres Dawg, from Top Dawg Seeds.
What’s In The Pack
Ten regular photoperiod seeds, males included.
In The Garden
62-75 days. Photoperiod, regular.
Great strain, this pheno kicked ass. Kind of a throwback mix of raunchy skunk, rubber and overpowering fuel Terps. I liked the Diesel leaning cpl I had added structure, funk and tricks. Recommend for any one into diesel, hash funk…slight orange zest on exhale. All phenos were good, 2 standouts among 7 females.
Still playing around with the pheno’s, i ordered 2 packages and planted 3 seeds. This has a really cool self-canopy trait when you top it. I’m hoping to get some males to cross with some feminized sensi star seeds i have the next time i do a run of these. Great stuff Gu.
She’s just about done. Chopping her this weekend. Absolutely breathtaking buds. Fat, rock hard, frosty and plentiful! Great yielder, wonderful terpene profile. Highly recommended. Here’s a new pic of the glorious colas the snake oil produces.
Finished up, very strong and tasty even though not fully cured!
Popped 6 seeds, 5 turned males really nice looking studs but had to go. The one female was slow and kinda ugly sickly duckling . Then she being only female I kept and she blossomed and more the doubled in size. Had to bend since I didn’t build trellis. Overall she is worth growing and expecting decent yield. Still got 4 seed left hoping for another girl! Reminds me of old school diesel with hints of citrus.
Popped half the pack and got two girls. Haven’t done anything with the runty one yet but the other pheno is a beautiful example of all the best things about chem and diesel. She’s at about 5 weeks now and smells amazingly of janitor’s closet and citrus cleaner, and I’m starting to notice a bit more diesel smell develop later in flowering. Awesome yielder. Fat colas. Definitely got all the best of the chem and diesel line in this pheno. I already put a clone outside that looks really happy.
I have grown snake oil twice now. Popped 5 seeds in 2019, 3 out of 5 were female. Plants grew okay, only found one desirable phenotype out of the bunch. Put the pack away for later use. Decided to finish them out this year. The second grow went much better. 5 out of 6 plants were female and I yielded 23oz off those 5 plants in a 4×4 with ~500w of QB LED lighting. Three of the phenotypes were awesome and I’m getting ~25% return on pressing rosin. I didn’t keep any mothers or clones so hopefully we see these in stock again at GPS. I used to shop medical at Denver Relief and Bio-Diesel was one of my favorite strains back in the day so I knew I had to give this a shot. No pictures worth sharing unfortunately.
Popped 5/5… 3 males, 2 female. Growth was uniform and plants took topping well. Fairly indica dominate. Top colas were about large lemon size and dried to large egg size. Tricome production was normal with large stalks and heads. Plants are VERY aromatic during grow and cure. If you want to stay stealthy you’ll need an air filter. Did not weigh final product, but it did fill 3 quart jars. Vegged for 6 weeks/flowered for 8. Genetics appear well stablized with uniform plants and plentiful yeild. 2 bong hits raise a smile, 4 puts me on the couch.
excellent fat buds!! strong and smooth flavor!! laidback cool buzz!!
The bio-diesel really shines through the stardawg….very narcotic
