UK Cheese Breeding Project

[Rockster]

Hi all,

I've been working with the Cheese(1989 Sk#1 F1) for the last few months and have crossed her with a Sensi Seeds Skunk#1 2008 ibl of which I have 9 now growing out for evaluation purposes and a few F2 seeds for storage.

As space is at a premium they are on 12/12 from seed and are 9 weeks in and share the grow with:

5 Cheese clones (for first backcross with 2 different males)
1 Cheese clone (STS reversed and selfed for S1)
3 Shebergan Indica landrace (for first cross with the Cheese)
2 ACE Seeds pure Haze (for first cross with the Cheese)

Of the 9 Cheese x Sk#1,2 are indica in appearance,the other seven are typical sativa and look very like the Cheese although the Cheese trait being recessive is not exhibited in this first cross.

Of those 7,pheno #9 has been named 'Sick Girl' because she is producing resin in an almost perverted manner,oh yes,she really shouldn't be allowed ho ho!

Oh look at me yammering on,must be the BlueCheese oil.....

nice 1 bro, gonna tag along for this 1, i've also made a cross with the Exodus Uk Cheese clone, i crossed it to a NL#5xHaze male from Sensi Seeds to make Northern Cheese Haze,

so have you already reversed the Uk Cheese?, i've heard the real Uk Cheese is impossible to reverse with it being a true breeding variety, got any pics of the Uk Cheese during that process ?

peace

Hi Hazeseeker,

I think you meant the Cheese isnt a truebreeding variety?

Yes mate you are right as selfed Cheese would express as an F2 population wouldnt it?

But if you find a Cheese pheno within that,that can be subsequently worked on for the S2 generation methinks?

I've already reversed it(in my last grow) and am applying pollen today and have another STS reversed clone just starting to show male bits.

How do you upload so pics are visible?

i assume selfing the uk cheese to itself, will give varied plants, and wont be the same as the original skunk #1 pheno, prahaps just aload of old school genetic skunk phenos.

Ill be around, love what your doing there.

Nice work Rockster, should be a good smoke. Cheese or skunk aren't f1s btw, skunk is an IBL truebreeding for desired traits but feck knows what cheese is technically. Not true breeding mostly, seems hit and miss wether that smell is passed on, how is the smell of you Cheese/skunk? Has it passed the stink on?
Have you grown out any of the s1s yet? Many have said cheese s1s aren't much cop, probably because skunks's already pretty inbred and sts-ing is the most intensive form of inbreeding possible leading to spindly mutants.

For big pics you need to uplaoid to yor gallery then copy and paste the image code into your post, takes two tabs.

Hi guys,thanks for popping in.

@Superconductor.Well as far as I am aware my friend,the Cheese is Sensi Seeds Skunk #1 circa 1989 which was an F1 at the time and I've crossed her with a 2008 Sk#1 Ibl daddy.

The Cheese chemotype is recessive,so as expected,has not exhibited true 'cheeseyness' but I'm expecting something in the first backcross and will go on to cube it although don't expect a finished job from that!

After backcrossing will also inbreed for an F2 population and see what pop ups there but temper that with the fact I'm working with limited plant numbers so I'll need a bit of good fortune but he who dares eh?

Selfing the Cheese gives F2's as it's heterozygous but if you look within that population and find a true example of the Cheese,upon selfing that you should get a population that has a significant percentage of true Cheese within them.At least that's my understanding of things as I'm learning in realtime.

But temper that with the fact you are inbreeding,going down an alleyway,if ya like,so who knows whats on the road ahead but hey,that's the fun of it.

This first cross,7 of 9 girls look like the Cheese very closely,if I took a cut and put them side by side it would be hard to tell.I've snipped and dried a bud for evaluation and it's quite a sweet smoke but you can't really tell much from that but will be interested to see what the final bud turns out like compared to the Skunk#1.

@Cork.Yes,you are perfectly correctamundo mate.

@maryjane.Glad you like ma'am.:smile:

We are about 9 1/2 weeks 12/12 from seed.

Average plant height about 85cm which is nice and manageable for the 8 pot Wilma system they are in.

 

[Rockster]

Ah,that's better.

plants look great and that tiger in your jungle is bad ass

Glad you like Phillthy.
A cheese clone pollinated today with male 'A' for the first backcross.

Nice cat mate!

 

[Schizophrenic]

Just curious, what kinda of camera? Great photos!

 

[Rockster]

A few pics,I think they have about 3 weeks to go.:smile:

Hi Stevius and Schizophrenic,thanks for dropping by.The camera is a Nikon D60 with a Sigma 70mm macro and Sigma ringflash.

A few pics from the garden.Sick Girl is looking especially pretty today methinks?

The girls are now @12 weeks 12/12 from seed.
