GG4s1 x BlueRipper
The mother is a selected phenotype using seed stock from Dankonomics. He was using a cut of the winner of the 2014 Michigan cannabis cup in some of his work. That clone was feminized using root manipulation, no colloidal silver or STS was used to create the seed. During my selection process, I used stock from other breeders and I found that all phenotypes using the root manipulation method ended up being considerably stable in comparison. The mother I used has been run multiple times and she consistently produces bulbous rock hard nugs that reek of citrus acid. She has nodal elongation once flowering is initiated, but isn't extreme like her brethren. She has great bag appeal, and a high that is heady and memorable.
The father seed stock comes from work done by a Canadian medical grower. @Groeer found himself a vigorous female of Jack the Ripper from TGA genetics that smelt like roadkill skunk. He used pollen from a male BlueBerry and created BlueRipper. He treated multiple patients as he worked the line for a few years before disappearing. With the seed stock, he provided I have grown out multiple females and males alike. Not one has disappointed. I was able to find a male that had a lot of traits that I desired. He grew so hardy and squat that I was certain he was a female. His nodal spacing was tight and consistent, his fragrance was the loudest out of the group. Come flower his stretching in minimal and he reaks like a stink bug, giving you a pungent scent that will flare up high in your nasal cavity, very eye-opening. All of his sisters developed sweet gas by the end of flower that has the same eye-opening effect. I was able to find a very sweet and sticky candy-like female from the same stock that has been a very nice producer that I have also used in some projects.
My goals with the Gorilla Blues project are to select down the line toward a hardy great structure plant layering in some of these sweet gassy flavors while maintaining the flower density, trichomes, and potency provided by the mother.
