CripXmas is a premium breeder’s plant born from a meticulous project initiated in 2021 to satisfy the demand for loud pine terps. Combining the finest traits from Tampa Crippy XI, Xmas Bud ’79, PTK, and NL2 strains, this sativa-dominant popcorn phenotype is a game-changer for breeders and growers alike.
Breeding Journey:
• Initial Crosses: The project started with Tampa Crippy XI and Xmas Bud ’79. The TK ‘popcorn’ phenotype in TC was identified, requiring further refinement for better yield and terpene depth.
• Challenges and Discoveries: Initial low pollination and unstable offspring presented challenges. A breakthrough occurred with PTK ‘resin male’ pollen, leading to the creation of CripXmas phenotype A. This strain features dense, bushy growth with thick gland crusting and faster flowering times (49-54 days).
• Unique Traits: The phenotype combines classic sativa pepper odor with pine and mint, producing super sticky buds that evoke the 90s’ nostalgia.
Testing and Performance:
• Stability and Consistency: Extensive testing with multiple growers has confirmed the plant’s sexual stability and breeding viability, surpassing its predecessors.
• Feedback: Testers reported exceptional creeper While not recommended for high humidity environments due to bud rot susceptibility, it thrives in dry climates like the NV desert.
Lineage and Improvements:
• Genetic Lineage: The offered seeds result from a double backcross involving TC, Xmas Bud, PTK, and NL2, creating a dwarf, faster-flowering version with enhanced terpene profiles.
• Special Considerations: Some phenotypes may exhibit male flowers on the lowers, making them ideal for lollipop or SOG styles. Regular defoliation is recommended due to dense growth characteristics.
Growing Information:
• Clones: Root in 1 week.
• Feeding: Up to 700 ppm.
• Growth: 2-4 feet with minimal stretch.
• Harvest: Starts at 42 days, peaking at 45 days with 10-15% amber.
• Yield: Approximately 1.5 oz per gallon.
Additional Information:
• Handpicked Seeds: Each order includes handpicked seeds, rigorously tested to ensure a 60-80% minimum germination rate. Defective seeds will be replaced.
• Support and Packaging: Premium packaging and Q&A support are available with every order.
Conclusion:
CripXmas is the breeder’s dream plant, combining nostalgic creeper with a unique pine terpene profile. Perfect for those seeking a fast-flowering, high-yield strain with exceptional stability and performance. Secure your CripXmas seeds today and elevate your breeding projects to new heights.
