Cultivators Report

This cross is a true goober and tends to completely lock up your trimming shears like its grandparent, the famed GG4. This is a great combination of several short and tall indica style plants that lean on the fuel, kerosene, gas, funky, candy side of the afghani spectrum. The goal was to get some gassy, high performing, easy to manage plants with that unique truffle candy background aroma. The Death Truffle #14 carries a unique aroma and prefers less fertilizer, is bud rot resistant, and not as stretchy & unruly as the robust Chemstar parent.

Pheno Characteristics

This cross pushes two main phenotypes from testing that have different profiles and morphology. Professor’s favorite one is #147 which is on the shorter spectrum and packs on thick, dense round buds shaped like the Deathstar. This phenotype was an absolute winner indoors and outdoors for Professor. During the very wet and unpredictable season, she did perfectly in the vegetable garden next to some cherry tomatoes, thanks to the inherited Chemstar’s immune response. This cross has thick, strong branches and did not require trellising, even in the high winds as it was only 3 feet tall. After a week of rain before harvest in the first week of October, she didn’t have a lick of bud rot or powdery mildew on her. Some growers noted she looked so frosty it would’ve been hard to tell she wasn’t indoor grown. She has lots of sugar leaves covered in trichomes, so this cross may push out some good washers too from the GG4-like trichomes. Not much needs to come off when trimming her. The flavor profile was the gassy, sweet, with the truffle background.

The other phenotype she tends to push is a taller Deathstar type plant. She will stretch twice as much as her other pheno with large, beautiful fan leaves that stay shiny & dark green throughout the grow cycle. She doesn’t need any trellising with some stiff, thick stems all the way up, but she can be a bully in a soil bed with dainty plants. This one will yield huge, high-density buds and have a profile similar to the Chemstar on the acrid, pungent, kerosene, gassy side. The bone crushing potency from both parents shines through in all the phenotypes. There could even be more absolute solid phenos hidden in here worth exploring!

Death Truffle #14

The female thrown in the mix is one of a kind gem, the Death Truffle #14. She came from the owner of Fresh Coast Seeds as a gift to Professor. To his knowledge, they were only given out to a select few experiences growers to see what she had to offer. Although the DT seeds were unreleased to the public by Fresh Coast. A tentative test run was performed by Professor in early 2021, which revealed a dominance of the GG4 metabolism and constitution in most of the phenotypes. The problem was that most of them tended to herm out in given even a slight sentiment of stress. This was from the GG4 line and has always been an issue with certain crosses of her. Usually, they would only produce male flowers at the bottom of each node on the main stems, such as on #16. It was possible to pick off the male flowers starting week 2 of flower at every position, every week until harvest with minimal pollen drift. Although there was an outlier, #14, which was a shorter, spicier plant than the rest which showed better hermaphroditic stability with a few caveats.

The aroma is reminiscent of Deathstar’s spice mixed with the distinct pungent truffle candy smell on the front end. The DT14 is a medium tall plant with large, waxy, darker green leaves that to truly shine need to be indoors in it’s own pot or bed with a lot of trellising to truly shine. Note she and her progeny tend to dislike strong feedings with a strength around 75% or 60% of what a heavy feeder would like. The introduction of an abundance of nitrogen in early flower feedings will turn her very dark green with weak petioles and branches with a noticeably diminished truffle aroma. When done just right with balanced, she will push some of the loudest and chunky flowers in the room.

About the Male

The male group used on this project consisted of 3 banging “resin males.” A resin male has a particular expression that produces trichomes across the male flowers. This is a sign of a high trichome density plant and I’ve almost always seen this trait translate to the female progeny as well. Back to the reason I used these males, the female Chemstar BX3 #393 is an absolute winner and has many of the growmies raving recently. This cross from the experienced breeder, Buckwheat, brings together two classic giants on the pungent acrid spectrum. She develops a big frame with the vigor of the Deathstar and the metabolic/nutrient tendencies of the Chem 91.

The aroma is a melding of the Deathstar with strong chemical influences from the Chem 91. Typically, she and her progeny will not like feeding too heavy in veg/early flower, easily burn leaves from light intensity, and will be finicky when too cold. She doesn’t like to have high temps of the day less than high 60’s or she will develop dark green leaf color with interveinal yellow/white spots that look like variegation (but are not). Although this behavior is classic of most plants with Chem type constitution & metabolism, it makes up for it in absolute top tier trichome coverage and bone crushing potency with a huge yield to boot if you adjust conditions just right. Rarely does she get bud rot or mold as well, which can be a sign of overfeeding or too much light at the end of her 9 week cycle. She also can sport sparkly, sandy, plump trichomes with giant wiffle ball bat sized tops. I have pulled 3.5-4lbs off an HLG Scorpion fixture and she has a potential to have medium-high (~3-5%) returns from wash tests.

Her offspring come out with a broad range of aromas from strong chemical/fuel smells to more of a funky, spice, earthy, wood aromascape similar to the Deathstar, as in the Goobstar. There is also some berry, sweet, pungent examples from the Professor’s Star. Although the Banana Pepper is an outlier and holds some highly rare aroma profiles of sweet citrus with spicy pepper tastes. Professor has pulled multiple keepers from the Chemstar crosses lines for top notch breeding stock.
