I have noticed how frosty the DC is and it tends to pass that trait down the mitochondrial DNA. The Meao Thai male has a propensity to make anything it is crossed onto very frosty as well. I believe that these two strains have the potential to make an amazing cross. I think that the smell and flavor would be complementary and the flowering time would be very reasonable. Have these two ever been crossed yet?

I'm surprised this was overlooked.

Sounds like a very resinous idea

We havent tried it yet, honestly, im a not a big fan of straight DC F1 hybrids... crossing a good pure sativa with DC afghan is a good way to get high flower density, high resin production, reduce sativaflowering time ... but DC crosses are very sensible to mold and outdoor pests.

Meao Thai is a very resinous sativa, especially in crosses (not so much in pure form). Malawi and angolese are probably the most resinous pure sativas we have had the pleasure to breed with.

Yea I agree deep chunk isn't suited for the outdoors. I grew out cannacopias Lemongrass Thai/DC but I don't think the mother was a pure thai because most took less than 11 weeks to finish. Anyway the DC pheno had a serious mold issue n had to be culled. I haven't grown your malawi/Thai or the angola/thai but I'd assume they were they produced the more resin than straight malawi or angolese?

Awesome idea. I love DC and combining it with some of ACE sativas will be be great. Dubi maybe you can make a cross with less DC influence.
Lets say a (Sativa X DC) X Sativa.

Why not make a join project with CBG and their Panama X Deep Chunk. Other idea may be crosses with Tom Hills Haze x Deep Chunk.
Something like
Panama X Deep Chunk x Meao Thai
Panama X Deep Chunk X Malawi
Panama X Deep Chunk X Congo
Panama X Deep Chunk X Golden Tiger
Panama X Deep Chunk X Viet Black
Panama X Deep Chunk X Old T haze

etctcttct there are thousands of great combinations

Hello Gerardbutler79,

I think angolese x thai was more resinous than straight angolese but malawi mum is still more resinous than most Golden Tigers (malawi thai) but i prefer Golden Tiger effect more than pure malawi.

Hello g0vnaa,

I think the best way to avoid DC mold sensibility in crosses is to cross DC to a very tropical sativa like pure haze, thai, congolese .... and as Tom explained then produce F2 generations and explore the recombination variations. Sativa should add the vigour, branching, resistance against mold and rainy conditions, more voluminous flowers .... doing the right cross, F2 generation and growing enough F2 plants then you should be able to find balanced sativa/indica expressions with big but dense flower, relative early flowering, very high resin production, mix of indica and sativa aromas, strong hybrid effect etc ... and hopefully avoid the mold sensibility.

I have a very nice (cannacopia BC roadkill skunk x DC) x local northern australian sativa which I will post some shots of tmoz, if the camera will allow it - this one plant has the best of all - local vigour, resin stems on alllllllll of the growth above the preflower stage, very minimal leaf formation, and long, slim, horrible smelling flowers. DC is certainly one nice addition to ones collection.

Shit Dubi, you got in before me. Couldn't have said it better....
