My Durban Thai x C99, Malawi and Malawi X Panama are about finished stretching. It seems to be about the same amount of stretch I would get under my old 1000 watt MH. The Guawi stretch is much less than I expected, same with the Panama.

Mr. B is the most honest, helpful and knowlegeable person i have had the pleasure of doing business with. I would trust him my kids for the weekend… HAHAHAHAHAHA!
But no for real, Baudelaire sent some seeds to a couple of customers three times, three times i said, because the seeds wouldn’t arrive. A friend in Cali and another one in Europe. He didn’t rest until the customers got their goods, and he took the loss like a real gent.
KUDOS Mr. B! @Baudelaire, i’m running Cindy 99 this next grow. Wish me luck bro!

New release: Sweet Tooth #4 bx
Fleur du Mal is releasing a backcross of the original Sweet Tooth #4 today. Complete strain and ordering information is available at FDMseeds.com, so I’ll be brief here.
This is the famed and now abandoned line of potent, fruity indicas that Spice of Life’s Breeder Steve worked for nearly a decade from the late 90’s to 2005. Known for massive fist-sized buds encrusted with trichomes, Sweet Tooth almost single-handedly jumpstarted the ice hash movement in the 1990s. It remains one of the best yielding strains ever for hash making.
Sweet Tooth is a cross of a Northern Lights #2 clone widely circulated around Vancouver, British Columbia and the U.S. Northwest in the 1990s called Sweet Pink Grapefruit, and an early release of DJ Short’s original Blueberry. The line was backcrossed three times by the time Spice of Life released #4, making this the F4 generation. As such, expect general consistency of expression around two basic phenotypes: a thick-stemmed, columnar style dominated by a single large primary cola, and another more bushier habit sporting six to 10 ice cream cone-shaped buds. Maturation time is around 60-65 days from 12/12, late September to early October outside in most temperate zones.
Single cola pheno:
Bushy pheno:
Both phenos have their attractions. The single column pheno is capable of producing truly massive main colas of the 2-liter bottle size, but bring with it the typical issues with pythium mold that comes with large bud structures. The bushy type is probably a better overall yielder of top-grade buds, and is much less prone to mold.
For those who’ve grown up in the Diesel/OG era, Sweet Tooth will be a very different indica experience. The taste is, as the name suggests, sweet and fruity, without a trace of fuel or sourness. The head, while definitely indica-based and full-body, is decidedly more cerebral than today’s typical couch-lock Afghani hybrids. There’s a symphony playing in the dream….
I consider this an interim release in a longer term project to create the next generation of Sweet Tooth, #5. On the advice of Breeder Steve (who’s now working with South American mountain sativas in Colombia), I am creating several sibling lines of Sweet Tooth and its parental stock to use in future generations to try to improve and preserve the strain. To that end I’ve collected versions of Sweet Pink Grapefruit in clone and seed form, and paired them with an original Blueberry female that is one generation removed from DJ’s original release in 1996.
Over the next year I’ll be growing out the lines and evaluating the best specimens for introduction into the Sweet Tooth #5 project. A limited group of testers will be helping with this evaluation process.
This bx release is a selective cross-pollination of the two best and most representative females with the most robust, best structured and most aromatic male out of two dozen seeds acquired in 2004, when Spice of Life was based in Switzerland. I made the decision to release this accession based on the number of requests by the community over the years for a re-release of the strain, and after confirming with Breeder Steve that he was no longer working with the line.
While this project falls within the heirloom category of FDM offerings, I look at the Sweet Tooth #5 project as an interpretative venture seeking to take the line to the next level, my offering of an improved version of Steve’s seminal work that preserves the essence and character of the strain. I hope everyone enjoys it.

nice! They do look just like the breeder pack of ST#3 I grew out back in the day. I remember my crop got hurt bad by the ozone generator I was using at the time which was a shame. Now I can try it again!
I remember the strain for heavy yield and very distinctive fruity smell and taste. Great idea to resurrect it.

Considering the popularity of this strain the first time around combined with your skill working with quality genetics. I’m surprised their is not more buzz about this release.

It will happen in a couple of months. I am sure. As for Mr. B, yes. Super talented, honest and hard working individual.
And, i already put in my order for two packs of the renowned/revamped SWT4. WOOHOO!

For those who know about this strain, its reputation speaks for itself. Filled orders from six countries and 3 continents this week.
Not my shot, but you get the picture…

Just wanted to drop an early report on Durban Thai X C99. I’m not sure what Baud’s goals were when creating this strain. I have grown SSSC’s Durban Thai Highflyer and the original Bros. Grimm C99.
Outside of shorter flowering times I’m not detecting a big influence from C99. It seems Baud shortened the flowering time while retaining the best qualities of the Durban Thai.
Early smoke tests of dried uncured buds is really impressive. A strong soaring stoney high, something I would not have expected before a proper cure. Nice… Two thumbs up, great value at $60.
Baud,
One of my ladies smells exactly like A77 Cali O, I’d recognize that terpene profile anywhere. The rest have a kind of juicy fruit gum spice smell.
I’ll give a more detailed report after a cure.

Glad you’re enjoying the DTC @ray. Your description of my goals is exactly that, to shorten the maturation period but retain the sativa high and terpene profile. Cindy males are great for breeding in that shortened bloom period without masking other traits of the mother stock.
