Sensi Seed Bank is proud to announce the launch of our newest elite cannabis strain - Ed Rosenthal Super Bud - named in honour of the undisputed heavyweight champion of growing gurus Ed Rosenthal!
The layering of Indica and Sativa qualities in this hybrid is a rare accomplishment. A superb balance of the best traits from each end of the cannabis spectrum has been achieved through expert selection over countless generations. The blend of tropical genes in Ed Rosenthal Super Bud`s multi-faceted background is especially wide-ranging, representing Sativas from all around the equatorial zone - Africa, South East Asia, Central America and the Caribbean. Ed Rosenthal Super Bud`s amazingly succulent flower formation is the strain`s distinguishing feature. Different individuals show extra Sativa or Indica influence through subtle variations in the development and structure of their resin-soaked buds. Otherwise, phenotype variation is small, with a majority of plants flowering at the same speed and increasing their height by about 150%. A small proportion will show a jump at the onset of blooming, which first widens the gaps between internodes and later gives an even greater yield potential. All females exhibit a flower structure bursting with Indica density that is made even fatter with the running Sativa tendency, resulting in buds that swell upwards and outwards to crazy sizes. A strong and incredibly sweet aroma of pineapple-punch is the dominant flavour across the strain. The Sativa-leaning females make great multi-stem plants and produce huge oval calyxes which spiral into crooked bud-pyramids large enough to bend branches. The Indica phenotype`s flowers are distinct and impressive, building into voluptuous columns of snowy bud with main colas as thick as an arm. Their gorgeous snow-covered effect comes from a unique pistil formation - where the oversized antennae sprouting from each calyx are covered with a visible fuzz of tiny hairs - and (as always with a Sensi strain) from a stupendous covering of full-sized resin glands.
Flowering: 55-65 days
Yield: 135 gr
Breeding History of the Strain
It`s no exaggeration to say that Ed Rosenthal Super Bud has been decades in the making. Sharp-eyed cannabis historians and collectors of old seed catalogues might have seen the single printed reference to the breeding program that eventually led this strain - dating back to the 1989 Seed Bank catalogue:
Ed`s PEHT (Potent Evolved Hybrid Type 1)
"In 1981, Ed Rosenthal gave some seeds to a breeder-grower. They consisted of Afghani-Durbans, Afghanis, Kush, Mexicans, Thais and equatorial Africans. All of these seeds were from pure, potent strains. During the next five years more than 12 generations of seeds were grown. Crosses between the strains were made on the basis of potency and yield rather than configuration. According to Ed "there`s not a plant there that you wouldn`t want to smoke, and their heterogeneous background makes it possible to discover some real winners. Only 1500 seeds are available."
Those 1500 seeds sold out very quickly, and were not offered again. The big shift towards indoor cultivation around that time meant that fewer growers had the time or space for experimental crossings. Sensi Seed Bank releases in the following years were exclusively stabilised f1 hybrids for indoor growers who needed strains with predictable behaviour. Sensi`s breeders had plenty of fascinating new possibilities to explore in those years, due to the expansion of our breeding-stock into a truly comprehensive collection of traditional cultivars and legendary hybrids, and the PEHT program continued quietly in the background. With occasional infusions of promising new genetic material and dozens more generations of crossing and selection for yield and resin production, the program yielded several rarefied plants which proved to be valuable intermediate parents in complex hybrids.
A desirably heavy, sticky form dominated the later PEHT generations, and breeders began to focus on stabilising the finer points of the emerging strain. Certain unique flower structures and flavours discovered in the program were successfully reproduced as recurring traits, and the Ed Rosenthal Super Bud seed strain neared completion. However, by this time, near the end of the Nineties, Holland`s tolerance for cannabis was in sharp decline, and professional breeding became much more difficult as the large crops of test seedlings required for rigorous selection were no longer possible.
As a result, the small amount of refinement required before releasing Ed Rosenthal Super Bud in its final distinct form took many years longer than expected, making this hybrid the longest single project in the Sensi Seed Bank collection.
We feel it was well worth the wait! |
| Comment Posted by: SFUCBarnes4:20 on 01-03-2015 at 16:01 | | | Disappointed in these expensive beans! Only 1 of 10 sprouted and had strength to survive and turned out to be a tall female. Unimpressed with 15+ years experience growing indoors! I've had much better! $300 worth of seeds down the drain from this! | | Comment Posted by: Defunk on 03-29-2010 at 21:20 | | i got sa plant that has 2 litter sized buds and snow white with chrystals it will blow your mind | | Comment Posted by: matthewriot on 02-24-2010 at 18:23 | | | I grow it and continue to grow it and will use this pheno for future breeding projects. I feel bad for y'all who got stuck with bad phenos, I have yet to come across one. This thing is a monster yielder with Purple/Grey hues throughout the buds. Flowering time is a little long, but well worth the wait. Sativa lovers DREAM. This cut will ALWAYS be in my stash right next tot he Clockwork Orange. | | Comment Posted by: Kakkakikkeli on 02-14-2010 at 12:06 | | Cloning with this should be easy. At least i succeeded easily. My first cloning. 6/6 rooted without problems to rock wool.
| | Comment Posted by: ruben andre on 12-28-2009 at 23:03 | | keep up the god work:) | | Comment Posted by: SB7 on 10-11-2009 at 02:58 | | | ( 10 pack straight from Sensi) I was quite disappointed with it. out of the 10 pack, only 6 sprouted ( I have a near 100% success rate with just about everything else I've tried).
Of the 6 ,3 were deformed from the get go and never really grew properly.
All 6 had an average yield, nothing to write home about and the buzz was mediocre at best. Yes, there was quite a variation between them as far as phenotype goes , but the buzz was surprisingly similar I would not buy again, there's many others to spend your hard earned cash on.
JMHO | | Comment Posted by: goutcho on 10-01-2009 at 02:48 | | | not the bubba's seeds lol the buddha ones .
maybe it's because i've got the bubba kush lol | | Comment Posted by: goutcho on 10-01-2009 at 02:46 | | | how can you say this strain is bad ?
i grew a lot of f2 and this strain is very nice
i prefer sativas phenos ,less productives but incomparable quality.
best phenos are around 10 weeks .
gene weaver it's stupid to compare cheese with ersb ,terpenes are very different
i've got the original cheese cut ,not the bubbas seeds ,i can promise ersb is much stronger.ersb high is perfect balance between marley's collie and a good kali mist ,imo | | Comment Posted by: stasis on 09-27-2009 at 19:45 | | | There is NO pineapple taste, smell,or anything in the pheno I have. (had). Not a keeper. | | Comment Posted by: stasis on 09-20-2009 at 06:37 | | | Just pulled a few after 58 days.. Could have gone til 62+. but that's OK..
VERY BEEFY buds... Gotta say. | | Comment Posted by: Gene-weaver on 09-17-2009 at 18:58 | | | For the price i'd much rather buy cheese its cheap and atleast you know its potent i think it would of had its day back in the 90's maybe its just to late for e.r.s.b | | Comment Posted by: stasis on 09-16-2009 at 18:50 | | | Grew out these seeds..... 2006 "Debut Edition," purchased from Seedbay. Only one female Mom to show for it... Germination problems....
The Mom yields clones that have medium stretch - good to very good yield...
A garlicky flavour, with a touch of dankness... Dense buds, take about 60 days to really finish. Slightly harsh to smoke...
Good to moderately heavy buzz... Like a hybrid high mostly sativa in nature...
Has potential. Visually striking looking buds... But, most likely not a keeper in my stable. | | Comment Posted by: matthewriot on 09-16-2009 at 05:07 | | | I have grown it, absolutely wonderful strain with some amazing phenos to choose and pick from. I have just successfully clones my first set of clones from 3 different phenos and all 3 rooted within 7 days. I paid the price, and I'm totally stoked with it. It is a high price, but these buds can sell for a pretty penny when grown correctly. | | Comment Posted by: Owl Mirror on 09-15-2009 at 20:57 | | | [COLOR="SeaGreen"][B]How well does it clone ?[/B][/COLOR]
I have seen seeds offered from Ed Rosenthal and, while they are some of the highest priced seeds around I also understand you get what you pay for. Especially given his name and reputation is attached to the product.
That being said, I would encourage any Caregiver cooperatives to pool the necessary funds and begin growing this plant. Your club should be able to keep yourselves supplied with seeds and clones which would pay for the initial investment.
Personally, I could never afford to make a purchase of these seeds. It's just not in my reach. I would however love to buy a clone, take it home and give it lots of love ;>} | | Comment Posted by: Solar Puffer on 09-15-2009 at 20:16 | | | Has ANYONE actually grown this stuff? The seeds are way overpriced, by the way, but a superb harvest might be wort it. |
