Right this grow is more about Cheestral by Underground Seed Collective, these are reg seeds I'm starting with x5 and see how lucky i get with fems.
All have germed and are now in root riot cubes, alongside x1 DNA Lemon Skunk Fem (This was from a pack I won from BOTM last year) Will be first time
growing lemon skunk so more of a test grow for me on this strain. Both Cheestral & Lemon Skunk are meant to go roughly 8 weeks in flower,
I've not figured out yet but depending on how many fem Cheestral I get I may end up doing a scrog.
I've also got x2 mystery seeds I germed about 3 weeks ago, I've got no idea what they are. I have one stronger one and one weaker one, not sure
if they will make it to my flower tent at the moment. Gonna wait till I can sex them and see what sort of state they are in then.
Touchwood this will be a bug free grow, after my kush grow nitemare.
Some blurb on cheestral:
The mother of this cross is the famous UK Cheese, a selection of Skunk#1 genetics done by British Exodus Collective around 1989. Its success had been immediate and international thanks to its powerful, complex aroma and its first class euphoric effect, that quickly won the hearts of the entire cannabis community.
Cheestral's father is a male plant of the Pakistan Chitral Kush strain , a resistant and compact Indica line with red-purple colors, given to USC by CBG, after being brought from Pakistani mountains and bred during several generations.
Cheestral presents a compact but vigorous growth, and doesn't need more than 7-8 weeks of flowering to get ripe - tanks to PCK's influence - which also gives these fall colors to a proportion of plants, specially at the end of flowering.
Cheestral offers a high quality harvest, its dense and resinous buds spread a strong fruity flavour, combining Cheese's intoxicating perfume with the red berries taste inherited from the Pakistani line.
Some blurb on lemon skunk:
This strain is a cross between two Skunks, the chosen phenotype selected for its lemon characteristics. The Lemon mother has been kept for over 20 years in Las Vegas and the father was chosen here in Holland. The male was donated by Eddie, formally the owner of one of the oldest and most prestigious seed banks in the Netherlands. This original prize male was selected and used in many breeding projects throughout the years. The Lemon Skunk will grow small with great smelling light green with thick orange hairs. She has a high calyx to leaf ratio. This strain is the tastiest and sweetest if she is cut down between 50 and 56 days. We would like to thank the Lemon Man and Eddie for making this possible!
