I’d eliminate your desire for traditional bag appeal. I find hazey sativa fluffy foxtaily buds to be desirable in the bag appeal departments but if you’re looking for rock hard nugs I think that’s unlikely unless you settle on hybrids.
Yeah I definitely am not looking for dense, hybrid nugs! Just something that doesn’t look too schwaggy.
Personally, I’m all about the effects, but for the average joe maybe having at least something unique or interesting to the nug structure would go a long way.
As an aside I crossed it to a 7-8 week indica and it was still electric but much more manageable according to those who have grown it.
But yeah ACE i’m a big fan even though there’s some shade there but it’ll give you some ideas. You never knew you needed a Siberian ruderalis and a 22 week Indian until you see them
I just crossed Malawi Gold to Deep Chunk and I’m hoping to get a soaring Sativa high but with a more manageable plant structure for smaller spaces and reduced flowering time. It should increase bud density for modern ‘bag appeal’ too.
Gonna pop the F1s soon, excited to see what pops out!
Check out Queen Mother Sativa by Delicatessen; also worked by Colorado Sativa’s which is where I sourced my set of beans via an OG hookup as he only ships within .
It’s brain food. The mrs and I smoke a bowl and then 3 hours go by like a flash and all our chores are somehow done.
Here’s the 2025 plant around 8+ feet in a 30gal fabric pot sitting at magic hour in my yard as of a few days ago:
See, brain food? That sounds amazing. The only hang-up here for me is 8+ feet though. If we can shrink that tree down to a manageable bush for indoors, then I’m game!
