Purple Breeding project using old TGA genetics.

[Shua1991]

I recently started some old TGA genetics (Querkle and Peacetrain) I'm currently about to flower some Querkle females outdoor to observe what they look like grown in NY. Hopefully they finish and get some purples by October.

I have a few males, with 1 male looking like a true specimen, smells, vigor, structure - all of it. If it produces colors it's not exactly the most important trait, I will be making f2 preservation using the best females.

I also have some haze dominant "Peacetrain"(mendo purple haze x Jack The Ripper) females, no males in the batch so I cannot make f2's of this discontinued variety. The best purple haze dominant chemotype among the Peacetrain will be pollenated with the best male Querkle. That is my goal for this project, I am cloning my Peacetrain now and in about 2 months I will have them entering flower for seed making depending in the performance of these potential mother plants.

Peacetrain is currently discontinued but I can still utilize the f1 generation for polyhybrids.

I expect testers to be ready by years end if everything goes well.

Its really cool to see someone working subcools old lines..
Man ive grown many of his gear back in the days when he had his weednerd videos..
Definitely a pioneer of the weed scene imo..
Best of luck with the project..

This is the smelliest of the querkle males, stinks like grape soda funk.

 

[Shua1991]

In my experience, the green phenotypes tend to be more vigorous and have better flavor, usually better effects. So far no purples on this male.

 

[Shua1991]

Purple is starting to develop very slowly on leafs and stems, pollen is starting to drop, and it's fairly dark in consistency, which is a good sign,

Hints of trichomes starting to form near the tops.

 

[Shua1991]

--------
Male #2 - Slower to flower male, shows more urkle influence, double serrations on leaves and the purpling, slower to produce stamen. Smells like grape jelly and pepper on stem rub, the smell is skunky from afar.

 

[Shua1991]

I lost 2 to intersex as they failed my stress test.
I have one male of my own hybrid with Mild purpling and a strong candy/violets smell that I want to pollenate the 2 last remaining Querkle females, I still have 4 PeaceTrain females I want to pollenate if they stay stable for another week or two, slower to flower when compared to querkle but not as slow as some of my hybrid plants to react to light changes.

All of these females will be put in my male flowering tent and re-veg'd along with my males, Any that show intersex will be culled and those that don't will have some hybrid seeds I would love to grow immediately even before the Querkle f2's.

 

[Shua1991]

I dropped some pollen on the grape soda Querkle, and another male's pollen on the "macaroon" smelling querkle.
The two males I have to use now are heavily sativa dominated, one is more thai dominant(Sour Apple, green tea, black cherries) and the other more malawi(Mango-Carrot) with plushberry's soda flavors mixed in.
A few hundred seeds is all I need
I want to see what these seeds produce, theynwill tell me more about these males and which i shouldnuse for f3 seed selections down the line.

some Sativa hybrid "grape soda" might be in the near future.

 

[Shua1991]

My guess is there's around 200-400 seeds from each plant, october 5th-10th will be my harvest date for these, with peacetrain being ready around mid october.

 

[Shua1991]

An update: seeds looking to be forming well, I believe within 6 weeks the seeds will be ready for testing.


Peacetrain

Querkles


.

I just ordered some seeds of Norstar Seeds "Chelumbian f2"(Cheese x S.M-Colombian Gold) that I've wanted to grow since 2021. I expect great things.

I got a bunch more querkle hybrid seeds in the promotion, and a 13 pack of the Panama Boqueté I am growing now!


Smells like raw fish and wasabi. I like it

 

[Shua1991]

Those freebies should provide me with some examples to make a Querkle BX or new hybrids, I heard the Qleaner (Jack's Cleaner x Querkle) was excellent, the Alchemy(Chem D x Querkle) also seems like a good fit.

Peacetrain seeds swelling up.


Querkle seed twins

 

[Shua1991]

The Querkle that smells of "coconut macaroons" is now starting to show it's purples, usually a tell that harvest is soon approaching. After tonight they get out on 20/4 schedule to reveg. In 2-3 weeks I will have new veg growth and the seeds will be matured for harvesting.
Then I start the Qleaner and the Alchemy seeds for some males to cross into these querkles.

The Qleaner is supposed to be better than the Querkle when it comes to potency and sativa dominated effects, so I may just redo these hybrids using the same males but using the best Qleaner phenos, then compare their offspring.

Weekly update. Panama Boqueté #1-

It turns out, my fully seeded 'Panama Boqueté' has some maroons and purples.

While no rich purples as of yet, this is the Male i used showing slight pinks nearing the end of flower, should produce colorful offspring.

 

[Shua1991]

Seeds will be finished starting next week.

QUERKLE produces some small seeds.

Roughly 1 month from testing.

 

[Shua1991]

"Peacetrain" Seeds and grape soda "Querkle" pheno seeds have been harvested. Much darker and smaller seeds.
More of them too.

 

[Shua1991]

Peace train x 3 candy berries phenotype. Very stable, perfect candidate for a mother plant.

I've got about 2 dozen seeds from open pollination with "Steph Nuggz" f2. I will be using this and the other purple phenotypes against the males of Qleaner in a few months.
