Aussie bred candy

Just an image dump of some pics of a lovely example of a now old and well worked aussie line, zoidfuel f4 ( bred by a crew working over here quietly since the late 80s using genetics found in aust and se asia). Unique aussie lines bred and homogenised for the indoor enviroment, bringing the best of the bush indoors
Much respect

Hi and welcome Moonunit,
interesting looking plants
looks like a good hybrid mix well done im constantly cracking old bean i collected through the 90s as a teen. Such varied strains on our island. A couple of plants ive been playing with for a few years now comming from reliable source. Mothered Since 2003 and 20+ strains 100s of phenos through my room and here we are still growing the old faithfull. Bigbud+White rhino

Cheers satanik, although believe it or not most aussie growers are blinded by imported lines, if it doesnt have a hyped name and come from overseas, most want nothing to do with it. Back in the cw days the few beans that made it to canada, usa and europe where rated extremely highly, yet in oz couldnt be given away as most growers where and are to busy growing their imported indicas to give some local breeding a go( unless it was a simple cross of 2 imported lines). The work continues though and the genetics are spread amongst a few select sativa heads.

Hi manchild, one and the same bro, we have been still working but quiet since the cw/og/rc fiasco. Those lines documented at the ole cw were the first lines we made using progeny testing for the most crucial and contriversial part of canabis breeding, male selection.
We selected 5 males from a range of 50 by eye from our pure fuel line( aussie, no relation to anything diesel). Those 5 were then progeny tested by individualy using them to polinate several examples of our other lines, to acurately isolate and document each of the males contributions to its female offspring. Each male polinated females of:
B.I( blue indica) mother line
B.I f1 hybrid, select phenotype
The zoidberry clone
zoidberry f1 hybrid, select phenotype
the cherry line
the sweet line

The best male by far , after extensive testing of the female progeny of each outcross, was the 3rd male we called the fof3 male ( father of fuel3). It passed on the best quality and most potent high of the 5 males, also the best chances of a great tric field and amazing flavor combinations.

We have yet to find a male to rival this one used and for security reasons had to slow our progress. The origional test crosses we found , whilst having a large and varied hybrid ranges, contained absolute gold in our opinions, based on our tastes. Since then our resources have been spent stabalising the gold within these new lines and bringing flower times down whilst retaining the super strong quality sativa high. Most females within these lines now still contain traits traced all the way back to the fof3 male, the most prevelent being the intence sativa high that hits in wave after wave after wave. We have found the two of the new lines to have the most potent form of this high, that being the zoidfuel line ( the zoidberry clone x fof3 male) ( now at f4 but the yield is starting to suffer for the stability) and the white fuel line ( bi mother line x fof3), at f3 and still yielding well, but we still cant get it not to stretch without outcrossing a new trait into the genepool. Having said that the primary priority for selection is potency, type of high and quality of high equaly, all other traits are ranked below in selection.
The harvest window is also quite large and versitile on all these lines. Anyways i could rave on all night ( sativas lol, gotta love em), but i will save more info for later, along with further pics and documantation

thc43, hi m8, nice looking trees bro, u gotta love breeding and growing ( smoking isnt addictive but growing is lol).
Whilst they are hybrids, they lean way to the sat side and nothing we have now carries indica stone, except a couple of indica lines we still hold for breeding. Most of our genetics come from aussie outdoor hotspots up and down the east coast of aust, papua new ginuea and se asia mostly, sourced from the growers personal stocks for the purpose of preservation and further breeding.
Great to see other aussies cracking the old tresures, even bagseed from the 60s -90s was good sats amongst rope expressions. The only prob is the hermi issues in some lines and bagseed finds, due to 40+ years of outdoor growers hermi breeding practices, but having said that even the most stubborn can be worked if it is worth it. We have worked it mostly out of our lines over a long period, but still have some lines show late nanna's that are controlable.


The law here has gotten alot harsher for growers here in the past few years, and we are at the moment going through another reefer madness phase. Loads of beaster houses (20+) have been busted in sydney of late and have given the law and naysayers another chance to str8 bs and demonize our herb.
Whilst normaly i have empathy for growers busted, in these cases i have to say its a form o karma, as they single handedly turned the comercial supply in most of australia to the crap called beasters in the u.s. and canada. Same viet gangs even. The problem is though now its so flooded the market, if u are poorly connected or dont grow its all u can buy in cities now and honestly i wouldnt even call it herb. Wet , imature hay smelling grass clipping tasting no high having pretindica poo poo. The ran all the good commercial growers out of biz and now they are the only constant commercial supply of indoor on a large scale. Punters used to whine about bush herb here but now beg for it over the aussie beasters.

Anyways i think i have raved on enough for now, gotta love sat based highs
Much respect

Hi Moonunit !

Nice picts ! This girl looks pretty nice That's great there are crews like yours to keep the old school genetics alive !
You've got an awesome breeding plan ! That's great to have access to such selection when you make seeds !
Do you have any clue on the origins of the aussie outdoors weed you've been using ? It seems that flowering time is not too long, how about it ?
And could you tell us more about the smoke, taste and high ????

Keep the good job, all the best for the crew !

I'll be studying in sydney in a month, so i hope i'll manage to get some good aussie smoke, and send some seeds back for further investigations !

Its a shame so many of the old Australian genetics seemed to disappear with the popularity of Dutch seed banks and the switch to indoor growing. There was some really interesting smoke in Oz years ago. Nearly all of it sativas. I still fondly remember imported Thai sticks too.

Good luck with your efforts, especially in the current anti drug hysteria climate we are now in. Would love to grow some of that.
