The Central American landrace and heirloom thread

Howdy @Elchischas,

I’ve seen this comment of yours in the past regarding your contributions to the Cannabiogen Destroyer work , specifically the Verde Limón. I was wondering if you or others reading who might also be familiar with the Verde Limón can help me better understand the scent profile associated with Verde Limón plants:

I ask because a buddy made a cross with a DJ Short Velvet Krush x mixed pollen where the pollen mix contained almost half Cannabiogen Destroyer pollen, so a lot of the resulting seeds should be Velvet Krush x Destroyer. The other pollen in the mix was from Blue V-2. The idea was to create a mix of seeds so that the outliers of each could be fairly easily observed in the progeny. For example, tall vigorous thin leaf types probably have some Destroyer influence whereas the short squat types are probably mostly Blueberry types. That’s the idea at least, definitely not ideal for tracking pedigree and provenance but buddy doesn’t seem to mind occasionally making hybrid seeds with more than one variety of pollen at a time.

That said, I’m hearing of a potential Destroyer type in the progeny. Buddy first said because of the thin leaflets and vigorous growth compared to other plants. So morphologically it was already thought of as being a potential Destroyer hybrid. Here’s where it gets interesting, buddy mentions it smells like Lemon Starburst candy. An intense juicy cerebrally pleasing lemon Starburst candy scent that lingers in the nose. So I’m trying to think where the heck could the lemon Starburst candy scents profile come from, wondering if there had possibly been pollen contamination from something else until I thought, could this be a Limón Verde attribute from the Destroyer expressing itself in the progeny?

What type of lemon is Limón Verde supposed to smell like?

Buddy says the smell is intense lemon like Super Lemon Haze can be, but it’s different. It’s not especially sharp or metallic, no distinct haze scent profile to it. Pure lemon Starburst candy. Strong and intense yet light and agreeable to ones olfactory system. No astringent or sharpness in the nose. Instead more like a rose where one whiffs deeply, slowly and intentionally. Pleasurably. Candy lemon! Is that at all close to the original Limón Verde? Pleasant lemon Starburst candy? I would enjoy learning more about the Limón Verde traits and attributes. Many blessings and much love
