Alpha Father... KFAD... Ken's Father x Alpha Diesel...

this is where I will be outlining my KFAD grow, any of you out there also growing this strain... feel free to share your pics and experiences here if you'd like.




all 10 were soaked on Nov. 3... 9/10 popped


by Nov. 8 they had began breaking soil...


Nov. 14 I have a total of 6/10 with one being a runt...


they are all healthy, vigorous (with exception of the runt of course), uniform and have a nice pink/purple tint to the stem.

I am very happy and excited to have these in my garden!


Peace,
Infi

hell yes... first official Stank Bros. grow thread!

I probably could have waited a good month or so to show these off... but what the hell... lets give this strain the attention it deserves, I am sure there are a bunch of peeps who want to but don't have the chance to run these... they can live vicariously through me here

I figured this belongs here, to help any who may have not heard much of this cross...

The Ken Father clone, is an extremely beautiful plant. It originated from an old head in Mendocino region and found it's way to me by accident. It was supposed to be the Fire OG cut, but upon seeing it growing I knew it was something else. I contacted the source, who listened and, said, "Oh no - I wasn't to send that out, but don't worry, what you ended up with is better." I was told Ken Father was the name...and left it at that for a bit before I decided I wanted to know more. The plant was certainly special. After another pressed inquiry, I was simply told it was the "original GDP".

I was familiar with Ken's GDP and the Royal cut - this was far better than either. I also never bought into the origin stories given by Ken - as I remembered the mid-90's and what I remembered was this:

A very kush strain that purpled to a degree, but more of a hue than full purpling. It was all the rage and went by the name "Gross Domestic Product". It was called this in a pun because "currency shuld be backed/based on it". It was always limited availability and only around every few months. It had a very defined taste and smell - like kushy grape baby asprin - that people simply said tasted "purple".

Suddenly, on the scene there was a new bud floating around being called "GDP". At first, the thought was it was the same plant being run by a commercial house to vamp production, as the buds were eerily similar, possessed the same distinct smell, but were thinner, not as kush, not as frosty or potent. Because GDP was the initials of "g"ross "d"omestic "p"roduct, it was fair assumption. This continued for a bit until a REAL batch of Gross hit market again, and people realized it couldn't possibly be the same. Then the pushers of "GDP" having never CLAIMED it to be the same, merely accepting the sales perks, now lost to a real batch appearing, didtunguished it as "grand daddy purps" - a new plant entirely - which was then sold cheaper, in mass. People willing to pay for an inferior version, with a stolen moniker, ie "GDP" was too much...an insult if you will. This outraged the creator of Gross and it was pulled from circulation and the people were left with what they accepted in place of....

Ken Father, was called such, as a pun to explain where "grand daddy purps" came from. A female acting as a father, ie an S1. Ken...well, you can figure that out...

Ken Father = original GDP = Gross Domestic Product. I promised I'd never S1 the plant and was given an "okay". Her offspring are very limited - but extremely dank. Ken Father is one of the best plants I've ever had the pleasure of growing. Period. It was an honor.

Right on right on!

Glad these went to someone who is going to grow them and not sit on them until they're dust.
Really interested to see these shine. Nice pick up(amongst others).
