Superskunk crosses... - Test Grows ~ New Varieties - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

African herbman · 03-18-2009, 09:40 PM

Here are some crosses I made using a smelly superskunk male on two landrace Sativa females.

The superskunk male was from seeds from top notch SS from a mate through his supplier. He was very fast to mature with good vigour and potent cheesy smell. I liked the bud a lot but I wanted to cross it to a very active pure sativa to get a better sativa high with the SS potency, resin and chunkyness.

Here he is

I pollinated this interesting Unknown Chinese Sativa female as I thought she was a good candidate.

Very dense nuggs for a pure sativa. Very trippy high and potent. She was not very resinous though... I hoped the very crystaline SS would help there.

I grew a few f1's and used the best male on the two best females. These are the F2's testers here.

Very Indica expression. Stretchy and stinky like chees, like a twin of the SS father.

More Sativa looking ones, More what I'm aiming for...

Triploid

New arrivals. Looks to be an Indi dom, the bottom one.

I also pollinated a Rooibaard female I found growing outside from builders seeds thrown down. Growing in bad soil but she was good looking. Full red stems and petioles. Nice swollen calyxes with good resin and bright red hairs.

I just made the cross as an experiment. I friend has some huge ones outside. It's seems the red stems and petioles from the Rooibaard are quite dominant. His one's looked very good so I was inspired to test my own. 5 down, one male so far and one very nice looking pheno in f1.

These are f1 testers.

This is the best pheno so far. Looks like a good mix of both parents. Good solid stems and new growth. More sativa looking than the SS and the colouration of the Rooibaard in the stem and petioles.

Very stretchy pheno

Showing only a little red

Smaller but nice looking pheno. I like the look of the leaves...

The runt. Weak from the start.

That's it for now. Hope you enjoy it.
I'll keep it updated as much as I can for those who are interested.

Regards, Ah.

Very nicely done!!! I want to cross my MSS clone from a club with some African Sativas I just got from AfroPips. Their Nigerian and Malawi. Great inspiration and motivation Herbman!!

great work, that looks and sounds fantastic

African herbman · 03-25-2009, 06:53 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys!
I didn't get the camera back so pics will have to wait till Sunday.

BENJI and Rainman, What are your views on the Superskunk in general?

Nice plans with the MSS Rainman, hope they turn out well. I'm sure you can expect heavy yields crossed to a big African Sativa.

Cheers, Ah.

Man that should be stellar gear m8! Nice job

Herbman - This will be my first round with any Skunks as the main plant. I purchased Nigerian, Malawi, Khmer Gold(Cambodian), Mexican and Congolese sativas to throw them all together for a few open pollination rounds. Then I was gonna cross the best Sativa genes with the best Skunk I find from 4 packs of seeds I just got. Skunk#1, Superskunk, Skunk Special, and Shit. The MSS is from a club in the area and I have no experience with her yet.
