Copa Genetics

Carbon Stinkers x Durban/Lambsbread tester, kinda beat up but still kicking… until I saw male flowers forming. Killed it after taking this photo. It was a tough life.

ETA: there were two seedlings that took longer to recover from the stresses I put them through that looked pretty similar to each other. Noticed that one was male earlier, so I removed that one as well. Still have three, and could always start more seeds.

First one it’s a little hard to say for sure, but I’m thinking I’m seeing female preflowers. Second does appear to be female. Both Carbon Stinkerz x Durban/Lambsbread.

Riddle me this shit batman :thinking:



If it’s anything, it’s an Appalachian… inline? Cross? Ssdd x appy f4 is most definitely NOT a ssdd bx1, that’s for damn sure. Does he mean he did ssdd f1 x appy f4 x ssdd f1? Because that’s not on there… I know I haven’t had all my coffee yet but…

It seems to me a lot of seedcos are using “Backcross” to refer to any line crossed back to one of its parents. I understand a lot of people feel like it should only be used when a plant is crossed back to one of its actual parents, but I’m not sure it’s actually wrong to use it in the way Copa is using it. A number of sources say backcrossing is mating a hybrid plant “with one of its parents or [a plant] genetically similar to one of its parents”?

I’m in no position to comment from knowledge, just saying what a quick search turned up.

I think maybe, and I’m not sure, that since the Appalachia is one of the SsDd parents, that crossing it back to parent type stock denotes a BX. But I haven’t talked to Copa yet and not to sure how to clarify it yet for folks. But I’m sure I’ll have a convo with him soon.

Yeah, that to me, would be an Appalachia BX but… since it’s Appy F4 and not the Appy F1 that was a parent to the SSDD… that doesn’t exactly fit the terminology either :thinking: Would’ve been better off coming up with a new name than to label it SSDD BX as that’s not at all what you’re gonna see in the offspring.

I’m guessing, now that I’ve had a bunch of coffee, that it actually is a backcross to his SSDD F1 cut, and the label just points out the outcross or male side being used to make it (SSDD F1 cut x Appy F4) :thinking:

Thats me in the above reply. Im also Jimihendrix, on RIU, and I responded there too. My buddy, was friends with Noodles. I never met him.
My buddy, is the one who said Noodles told him, the Skunk he gave my buddy, was Kerela/SATIVA, NOT INDICA, on one side, and an Unknown Indica, on the other side. Noodles also gave my buddy the first Indica we ever heard of, in 1972-1973. It dried to a deep red, and was super choke. Every hit was a choke, and head spin.

Meigs really had the shit, in the 70s-80s. Nearby Gallipolis, wasnt far behind.

It sounds like in another thread, that got canned. MedMan was confusing some things I said on RIU, and some things Noodles SON, who is a member on RIU said, but hasnt been there for a long time. Another guy on RIU, told me COPA, got some of the Meigs Gold from Noodles family, and was working with it. I think COPA, hunts with Noodles Nephew, or something.
I do find it curious, that when Noodles, went to prison, in the late 90s,for 7 years, that is when the skunk, really started drying up. Though I hadnt seen it in 13-14 years. My buddy lost contact with Noodles, in the 80s. My buddy passed, Oct 2022.

I never knew it as RKS. Simply as Skunk. Sk1-18 ect, was never RKS.

Also the Skunk, we had, was Narrow Leaf, and got big, if started early, and given a lot of light, and water/food. It wasnt done until late October. But, it or sure, was Not, a squat Afghan Dominant structure plant. Though some Afghan, can get 15 feet tall, and is a misnomer, to class all Afghan, as broad leaf, and Squat. Some Mazar gets 12-15 feet tall. Though they say the mid sized, are the best. 6-8 feet.
Our Skunk, was tall, and narrow leaf. Forearm+ sized around colas, 2 feet long. Dry.

Prediction: maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but at some point there’s going to be a lot of moaning and groaning about the Sunshine Daydream BX and the some of the freebies in a certain highly trafficked thread.

It is like if Burger King came out with their version of the Big Mac called the King Mac.

Traditional afghans were narrow leaf, it was outsiders and travelers that got the squat stuff that were wide leaf

From what Ive read, all drug cannabis, is classified as Indica, and are just narrow, or broad leaf. But both, are Cannabis Indica.

Not a great photo, but I snapped this while pulling leaves off another plant. Might’ve taken them outside but we had icy precip going at the time. Two plants with arrows pointing to 'em are Carbon Stinkerz x Durban/Lambsbread testers.

ETA: I forgot to mention that according to my notes they’ve been in the flowering tent for 5 weeks. They’ve gotten noticably bigger in the past week or so. Starting to show a little bud development. Gonna be a long ride.
