I believe you are correct on the Aurora Bopper. I read that once, but alas, twas on CW:(.

Aurora should be, I believe, (the Dom x Northern Lights) with the mom first. :smile:

Bopper, thanks for catching that about Aurora. Makes perfect sense, and I think you're correct on the Frostbite as well.

Thanks to Bopper and TORC for their contributions thus far. This is a community effort, and with help like this, all of the blanks will be filled in no time.

We still need information on Malibu. I'm thinking that the AE77 Calio mom might be the female parent, but I need corroboration before I feel comfortable marking it down. I had the Dom as the father, but I'm changing that to ??? until I get more information on the subject.

Also, anything at all on Redeyed Bride, other than it was a wedding gift to the Cannabis Cowboy (hence the name).

I'm also curious about the Super Skunk Chimera used.

Thanks again, all.

In a thread on pg. 2 called Sassy Frass, Chimera stated that he used a clone he calls "superior Afghani Skunk", not Super Skunk along with DJ's BB. Edit: I really should read first. I see you already had that. Sorry.

Frostbite (Cotton Candy x Northern Lights)
Malibu (??? x ???)
Schnazzleberry (the Dom x Shishkeberry Red )
Aurora (the Dom x Northern Lights)
Calizahr (California Orange x Shishkeberry Red)
Grapefruit x Shishkeberry Red
Grapefruit x Northern Lights
Grapefruit x Super Skunk
Mental Floss (Cotton Candy x DJ Short True Blueberry)
C-Plus (California Orange x DJ Short True Blueberry)
Schnazzleberry#2 (the Dom x DJ Short True Blueberry)
Mountain Jam (Soulshine x DJ Short True Blueberry)
Sassyfrass (Superior Afghani Skunk x DJ Short True Blueberry)
Red-eyed Bride (??? x ???)
Fighting Buddah (Burmese Sativa x DJ Short True Blueberry)
Highland Mexican x DJ Short True Blueberry



Breeding Stock
Grapefruit - Grapefruit also known as Sweet Pink Grapefruit was introduced to the world by Breeder Steve when he started growing clones he found in Vancouver, BC. He got a tray of clones from an unknown breeder labeled “the only plant to grow” and used it in his breeding projects thereafter.
Blue Domino - "The Dom" consists of Blue Domino by Spice of Life Seeds, line bred by Chimera before breeding with it.
Shishkeberry Red - Is a line bred Afghani from Spice of Life Seeds, heavily selected that yielded two distinct varieties, the Red and the Yellow.
DJ Short True Blueberry - True Blueberry is derived from original Blueberry, updating the line.
Super Skunk -
Superior Afghani Skunk - A low odor commercial strain. "The Sassy Frass is a hybrid oF DJ Short's blueberry and a clone I selected many years ago from an experimental cross of two well loved lines. We called her SAS; Superior Afghani Skunk (not to be confused with super skunk). This plant produced ample frosty lime green nuggets; in fact she's the clone I would share with my commercially minded friends who were concernned about the intense smell of the other clones I typically grew for sinse; wimps! This one became their commercial staple, since they didn't have to double up on the charcoal filters." -Chimera
Highland Mexican -
Burmese Sativa - "The burmese is a really special sativa lady that was selected from true land of origin stock a friend of mine picked up in his travels to the region years back. I'm puffing a bongload right now, and it's great pot imho! She's very fast for a sat, and finishes in approximately 55 days in most gardens." -Chimera
Northern Lights - Chimera line bred Sensi Northern Lights to get his NL selection.
Soulshine - Cannabis Cowboy is the creator of this strain.
California Orange - This is the legendary Aeric77 Calio, supposedly maintained in clone form for 25+ years.
Cotton Candy - Federation Seeds. Reputedly composed of Afghani, Blueberry and possibly Haze genetics.

Any information that can fill any of the blanks on the list would be especially appreciated. If I've left out any of his works, let me know of those, as well.

Thanks!

thanks for the informative list. this really helps clear some things up...

Though I'm not positive, I think Malibu is Calio X Blue Domino. Wasn't it sometimes called Malibu Blue??

I've grown Calizahr, C-4, Frostbite and Schnazzleberry #1 myself. We have a Fighting Buddha waiting to do her thing.

The mother was also described as orange-tasting, but Chimera stated that it was not Calio. I remember the Malibu Blue name as well, so Firewalker likely has the father right as well, although I can't seem to recall it with certainty. :smile:

Best,

This is exactly the kind of feedback I need. Thanks Firewalker and Bopper.

I had a couple of problems with Malibu being AE77 Calio x the Dom, the main one being this...I'm almost sure that Calizahr was the first released cross using the heirloom Calio.

One other thing is that in all of his other strains, the Dom is the female parental, not the male, and this would make it the single exception. That being said, I'm putting the Dom BACK :smile: as the father for now.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Octavian,

I grew some Chimera Cali O X NL5 in the past. Didn't see that on the list.

Pix of this plant in my gallery, if you care to look.

I have Mountain Jam beans and it takes all my being to have to wait to be able to grow 'em!

I am a big fan of Chimera and am very interested in the CPlus, Calizhar and Mental Floss for future crops....

[TORC]

I believe that the Cali-o x NL5 was a very limited release, once again my memory fails me.
