Breeder Report
Thanks a million fellas! I found this posted by flowerman, still trying to dig up some pix..:D
Edit: Found some pix, and I must say they look amazing, I cant wait to run this hybrid. Unfortunately I was unable to copy image codes to display here. But there is a bit of info out there thanks to Flowerman.
Here's the breeder's report.
Nebu White Ruskaya
Parentage:
The White Ruskaya is a "White Russian" cross of AK47 & White Widow. Similar cross (same lines) as Serious Seeds-> "The big winner of the cup of all cups, the Cannabis Cup in the 1996 High Times Magazine Cannabis Cup competition. These seeds produce plants that are fantastic in both appearance, and effect. This is no surprise once you know that White Russian is a combination of the famous AK-47 and the equally well-known "White Widow" & the Brother's Grimm -> "...re-created this respected hybrid of AK-47 and White Widow. A Serious Seed Co. AK-47 female with outstanding resin production and short stature was pollinated by the father of Ice Princess. Expect dense, heavily frosted buds that cure to a pale green with orange pistils and smoke with a spicy flavour. The clear, up high of AK-47 with a relaxing body effect from the White Widow. " offerings (listed @ $60 & $125 per 10, respectively @ hempqc.com) The Mum (see pic #3 below) is my favourite White Widow; a '98 Aloha White Widow selection/cutting referred to as "Sweet Thing" (ala '180'). I realy like this particular White Widow as it yields quite well, has a very sweet bubblegum-like flavour, and is very potent.
The father is also one I've been working with from the 'Cherry' pheno AK47 - mum's of which produce colas such as the last pic attached.
Performance:
With the White Ruskaya - my goal was consistant performance with an incremental gain on the yield, bud structure/density & disease resistence from the phenomenal AK47 pheno. Also, to pass along the AK47's early preflower trait (for sex id of seedlings) while retaining the sweet flavour of both/either parent, as well as their other common strong traits (trichome production, potency, vigour, cloning, etc. ,etc.,).
Tests have shown a consistent, solid improvement on the yield of the '98 Aloha White Widow. Taste is identical to the White Widow, almost no AK47 influence can be observed. Potency is extreme - very potent! This pheno is somewhat susceptable to Powdery Mildew, like the White Widow mum, in exposed circumstances. If you have PM isues in your region this hybrid will not show great resistance, but does respond to Neem & AQ10 treatments, etc., favourably.
