These seeds were from a purchase at the Real Seed CCompany. @Skunky Dunk Farms also has a thread, and will be running this cultivar in the future. This will be a great chance to compare.

Keif Lint has also accepted the challenge, and will be running this as a preservation for our members in his area. The perseverance paid off!


Genetics: ‘Deep Chunk’ (Californian – Afghan Hindu Kush)
Type: Pure Indica-type
Indoors: c. 56 days
Outdoors: September
Classification: C. sativa subsp. indica var.
afghanica

This is a Spanish continuation of the original Tom Hill Deep Chunk, a renowned true-breeding Indica-type strain with roots in the Afghan Hindu Kush. Work has been done to remove weak plants and ‘mutants’. The original landrace from which Deep Chunk was inbred is said to have been introduced to Northern California in the late 1970s. Crucially, it’s believed to have never been outcrossed.

Deep Chunk is known for its fast flowering time, thick stems, short internodes, and excellent resin production. It’s a classic Indica that produces copious leaves and broad leaflets. Buds are dense and yield earthy, herbal aromas, including hashy pine, citrus, coffee, and chocolate. A weakness is its susceptibility to botrytis. A strength is its knock-down potency.

True-breeding for many traits, this is an archetypal Indica that’s earned a reputation as an excellent breeding plant. In an era when Cannabis genepools are becoming ever-increasingly homogenized through hybridization, pristine inbred lines such as this should be in the collection of every serious grower and breeder.

Keeping heirlooms in their pure form over the coming decades is a wise choice that is sure to benefit both people and plant.

NOTE: Initial testing of this batch of seeds has shown +90% viability. Incidentally, plants from which this batch was produced showed strong uniformity across the population.

Oh yeah!

Sorry it's been a while but life is hectic and other things need my attention at present(n)
I had 3 of the seedlings die due to my choice of potting mix :brainfart: and only rescued 2 by transplant into used soil from a previous grow
:superhappydance: 1 female 1 male
the male flowered early and the female is only just getting going but i'll collect pollen and i've taken small clones.

At least you can breed them.
I too will be wanting a few of the offspring.

What is with Deep Chunk!

Honestly, I don't want to talk sacrilege but is it too inbred?

All my plants are tiny, the branches want to grow almost vertical and there is not enough room for the leaves, oh except for those giant ones that poke out the sides.

I've taken some cuts and I want to run it in soil next time, I really don't think it does well in coco and would prefer to have drier feet.

Thanks for the beans mate, it's been really interesting to take a look, I'll be sure to do an increase with them to preserve this heirloom.

Yup yup! It's also a battle to find one with a decent leaf:bud ratio. The original Pipatxu that I grew were all over the place.

Would planting it at an angle help? I played with that this passed year and had interesting results. When it's small and flexible you put it in sideways and use sticks to hold it to the shape.


Either way, I'm happy to see some Afghanistan ?

I now am very happy to say I've got some Tashkurgan!!! Heirloom!!!!!
