—- Breeding Project—-
We recently had a run of Sour Diesel and I decided to take the only male from that batch and cross it to some clones, one being the Cerezaz strain.
The goal of this cross is to find faster flowering (45-55 days) plants and also increase yield as the Cerezaz is a timid producer and Sour Diesel is generally a medium to high yielded.
Other characteristics we are looking for are: sour, berries, cherries, diesel, gas on the nose ( although unique combinations are welcome), decrease light sensitivity( Sour diesel was sensitive to light intensity) as well as breed in some resistance to heat from the Cerezaz as she did outstanding in 90+ heat indoors.
Currently this batch of Polyhybrid F1s are exhibiting mostly the sour diesel traits:
generally more tall and lanky, leaves closer to the main stem and drooping( as seen in some landrace sativas) and the stem rub is chemical, soap astringent with a slight savory berry backend with large fat fingered leaves.
The other pheno is squat with very good lateral side branching and grows slower height wise medium sized leaves and the fingers are neither skinny nor fat but generally on the thicker side. Similar nose on these but more Cerezaz leaning so the berry, cherry sweet is more noticeable.
With all that being said these ladies are top dressed and just got flipped into flower! So come along for the ride! 💪🏾
