Here are some selected photos of my favorites from the run:
BlackDak #1
BlackDak #5
These were all incredibly dense plants. But rot is a major concern, so I cut everything off of the stems and separated most of the larger buds before drying. Even though it’s a PITA to work with buds of this density sometimes, they’re also kind of fun. When I finish building my dream team Afghani, I want to use it with some of the more wispy, unusual sativas from the Himalayas and SE Asia. I think the extreme density and potency of these will lend pretty well to that purpose.
One interesting thing about these is that they mostly smell like their aunt (not the mother). Especially #1 had a berry smell to it, and the main cola has a very similar shape. Resin was definitely increased from the original domina plants, tending toward the Dakini side. Bud structure was more similar to black domina. Very little lateral branching – #1 had an extremely columnar shape, and was rather tall.
BlackDak #2,3,4 aren’t as compelling to me as 1 & 5. I think 1 is likely to be the one I take seeds from. Structurally, I think this line will be improved when I bring it back together with the LowDak line.
Next step is to bring the lines together, using the best selections of each 2nd outcross. That’ll probably look like:
LowDak x A
x
BlackDak x B
with the lowland side as the mother plant. For A,B the seeds I’ve made (and am currently drying) can be from PTK, Black Afghani or Cherry Queen. I’ll need some help from whoever wants to run testers to get a good indication of where this goes next. Those will be offered up in 1-2 weeks.
Finally, once the choices are made, I’ll make the cross and probably spend a few generations stabilizing it.
