I agree. Wasn't too impressed with the just plain SS. I do plan on running again sometime just to make sure lol But I have noticed the crosses with it I have grown out seem to gain from its yield potential and slightly more airy bud composition. The crosses have packed far more punch them the SS did.
My genetic vault will be well stocked with peak gear for when I am ready to try some breeding. I fucking love his gear!!!

I would appreciate any info on what traits the SS tends to convey to the progeny on the crosses you've made, both as a mother and as male donor.

Not many growers pay attention to what traits each strain tends to pass on in crosses, and how the results vary depending on whether the strain was the mother or the pollen donor in a cross. In my observation, crosses generally turn out better with an indica-dominant mother and a sativa-dominant pollen donor (as opposed to having a sativa-dominant mother and indica-dominant pollen, which tend to muddle the mother's sativa high and shrink the yield by reducing flower size).

I have never bred cannabis. So I can't really comment on any of that. I plan on attempting someday. I was referring to MikeJ's crosses. With usually only 3 phenos it is easy to narrow down whats what just by observation and comparing to past peak strains grown.

Cheers

Both the IBLs and f1 hybreeds from Peak are so like each other within each strain and the only negative I have noticed is an occasional runt. Years of Peak and something Peak is always in the tent.

Gotta pick best 6/8 homemade Sleeskunk/Sweet Skunk x Kush/Northern Lights just up from dirt all germed. My homemade BBxKN at 23 days are small but flowering fast and all are already frosty!

Cant upload pics, hmmm been awhile now.

I had a really nice C99 run, found a couple males and hit random females, didnt really worry about attributes. I had few problems, no critters and finishing times starting around 45 days although I let them all go probably 50 give or take a day or three, just to make sure seed set was good. Which didnt really help that I probably waited too long to pollinate, as I got a good haul, but half? of the seeds were white chiclets.

I vape flower mostly with an Arizer and even the seeded females are potent! I often drift off if I session for a few minutes, trip weed! I havent even gotten to bubble hash that is waiting from breaking up the seeds.

Next up I am putting in for NL #5
I have a special skunk cut and a cut of jack h, always have been a huge admirer of c99 and skunks, so I am thinking my skunk cut called willies skunk x NL #5, could be a reinterpretation of Shiva skunk. I know I know, i could just buy from Peak.

Only for me and the circle anyways, so all in good fun, stay high!

I haven't been able to upload pics since the site went down a couple weeks ago. My computer is too old and I can't update my browser.

Try updating your browser and you should be good.

secret held belief by me is that the high from seeded plants is not weaker but is somehow different.

You wouldnt be alone in that belief and there is a seeded bud / Peak / blueberry abstract connection, in that Peak probably holds dj shorts work in some high regard and a few years ago I read a blurb from DJ expressing how he too even desired seeded bud for the complex high.

Personally y`all im just getting started but I dont know what I would do without Peak. The more I dig around and read about todays hybrids and their building blocks, well Peak lays em right there for you. Truly unique at this time and moment.

Android over here, not a fan. Miss a keyboard in general, lol. I think I figured it out, but need to edit my photos on said keyboarded computer that I need to borrow.

Got to try the looser bud KS pheno. It is the smoothest smoke ever. Cannot even feel that you are inhaling anything. Just as smooth on the exhale but with a kush taste. It also has a much more sativa effect, which in my mind verifies that it is indeed an SS leaner like I suspected. It is definitely a keeper for a few more runs.

My c99s are at about 2 weeks 12/12 and already forming buds and showing promising resin. All three have skinnier sativa style leaves similar to my berrywine cut (basically a blue dream copy from father's side, lol).

Right now the girls are like the 3 bowls of porridge from Goldilocks, #1 is standing out with super great node spacing and she is a little quicker flowering so far, #2 has bad node spacing/ a lot of stretch between nodes probably will not yield as well, #4 is in between the other two. If #1 has a pineapple-ish nice smell/flavor then she is the winner for sure.

I believe one of you cats stated the skinny leave is more likely to be pineapple phenos? Because right now they all smell like green peppers and I'm hoping they do not stay that way,

I have had a few super fruity strains smell this same way until flowers really started plumping up, top 44, critical jack herer and blueberry '02, but I've also had a white widow, or at least that is what we were told it was, that tasted like green peppers. It looked good as fuck and people bought it but they complained the whole time.

I can't post pictures here till I get a new computer, pretty soon here I hope. Just I'm trying to swing a golf membership and get a new computer and get some c.o.b.s so I can make a dedicated chucking cabinet but I don't sling anymore so it's harder to find disposable income, lol. It was nice to be able to flip an O for $250 anytime I needed some extra scratch.

So far the c99 is a little scrawny because I flowered them 30 days-ish from seed so they were not fully mature but they look promising with resin productions showing at 2 weeks on the seed run. Impressive for sure, I've pay much more for seeds that did not perform as well.

I said the leaves seemed a bit skinnier on the Pineapple. The Pineapple pheno I picked out as my favorite started off as a rotten meat/cheese like smell, it switched over to the pineapple towards then end of flowering and had a crazy pineapple funk after some time in the jars. Other then that they all seemed to have their obvious smell around week 4.
I feel your pain on the comp issues. I am in the same boat with mine. I can post pictures but I cant even load most websites atm and if I try to few a page on here with too many pictures posted it freezes and I have to reboot lol
With long extensive vegging plus training I could see c99 yielding quite well. She also does quite well outdoors.
Couple picks of the c99s I flowered as seedlings . They are getting close to done.


Cheers

Peak seeds have been around for long time now.
I remember them around when heaven stairway used to be around.
Have never heard a bad word on those guys.

Did you also say that the grapefruit pheno tends to stretch a little more? I have one that is a little taller than the other 2 since stretch. Just curious and trying to figure out familiar traits for future pheno hunting through the rest of the beans. Thanks GH

In my experience it's the pineapple pheno that stretches more, has wispier buds and is done in 49-55 days; the grapefruit pheno is a bit stockier and takes about a week longer to mature.

I would say the Pineapple is taller then the grapefruit.

Well shit, then it looks like I might have 2 GF and 1 pineapple, possibly 2 pineapples because 2 have skinnier stems and more node stretching. The best looking girl is shorter stockier and has great node spacing.

I was trying to eliminate clones from the less desirable looking phenos but honestly the tall stretchy one does have resin glands running up the top of main stems today when I just checked them.

Hell if the grapefruit pheno tastes anything like my grapegods did then I can live with that, lol. Thanks for the replies.

4-5 Weeks NorthernSkunk, it's an Old Mom, last of her kind, meaning no beans left. I did take clones just before her flip for future smoke, and one clone is loaded in the Breed Tent, under a QB board, with a RedEyed Locktite Male. Seeds in the Forecast. When started properly yields nice, smoke is a little skewed to the Sativa high, but kinda chill. It grows lanky, I imagine a killer scrog plant. Excited for the pending cross.

Very nice. My homecrossed Northern Skunk are more compact, more body and 2/3 turn black-purple. A fave here.

I started the rest of of my northern Skunk for this years outdoor crop. Gotta love how stable peaks lines are. His plants are leaps and bounds ahead of everything I started including bogglegum.

7 Haze x Blueberry have hit the towel. Mike dropped this project when Haze mother hermied. Never marketed. First time around I had nanners late but no seeds anywhere on all the different plants in there.

Sleeskunk/SS x KN in veg with 4 very nice and a couple smaller. Homemade cross that is a bit loud and powerful.

6 week my 3 BB x KN are small plants with semi foxtail buds in mostly single cola. This home cross also has a much rangier pheno which is more productive but no stronger. Bulking up right now.

Also, how is Peak stealth with new modern packaging?
