Breeder seed: Tampa Crippy Phenotype B
Overview:
Tampa Crippy Phenotype B is a distinctive strain with a gas funk pine mix and vibrant coloration, different from Tampa Crippy A used for CripXmas. This phenotype is taller, more reminiscent of the Central/North Florida version that has a lingering funk in its afterthought, and showcases unique traits that make it an exceptional addition to any breeding program.
Key Characteristics:
• Aroma and Flavor: A mix of gas funk and pine with a lingering effect in the throat and sinuses, unique to the Tampa Crippy lineage.
• Growth and Structure: Taller and more elongated than Tampa Crippy A, with densely packed trichomes and a higher calyx-to-leaf ratio. Initially, it had a longer flowering time of 9 weeks, which was shortened to 6-7 weeks after BX2 crossing with Tampa Crippy A.
• Improved Traits: BX2 crossing reduced stretch by half, decreased high magnesium requirements, and imparted pre-flowering traits at 6 weeks. The plant exhibits a tight candelabra shape with densely covered “white” popcorn nuggets and golfball clusters along the branches.
• Yield: Approximately 2 oz dry from a 24” SOG/supercrop style plant in under 45 days. Longer flowering times can yield more amber, but the flowering days are compressed to accelerate growth.
Known for its expansiveand intense qualities, Tampa Crippy B delivers power lasting awhile. It can be overwhelming
Breeding and Seed Information:
• Challenges: Seed production is limited due to selective calyx pollination within the bud. Not every seed develops fully, with many coming out white, hollow, or smashed. It often takes a full branch to produce approximately two packs of seeds.
• Availability: Due to the limited number of viable seeds, Tampa Crippy B is higher priced and available in select quantities. Improved seed health, shape, and reception are notable in the BX2 offspring, though the issue of low seed viability persists.
• Germination: High germination rates have been achieved, with a 100% test success within 48 hours.
Future Developments:
This summer, testing will begin for the ultimate Crippy strain, combining CripXmas, Tampa Crippy A, and 808 Hawaiian. The goal is to create a super plant with enhanced speed, terpenes, and maximum mold and rot resistance.
Conclusion:
Tampa Crippy Phenotype B is an exceptional breeder’s strain, offering unique traits, intense effects, and significant improvements over its predecessors. Secure this limited-availability strain and elevate your breeding projects to new heights.
