Sweet Chunk Cannabis Seeds

Backcross Breeding and Phenotype Diversity

The first backcross of SweetChunk F1 with the Sweet Pink Grapefruit mother resulted in phenotypes predominantly resembling the SPG clone, despite previous crosses showing significant diversity. The selected male for this cross showcased more Sativa and SPG traits. The subsequent backcross yielded plants that, compared to SweetChunk F1, have finer, more delicate leaves and a growth pattern more aligned with SPG, marking a departure from the F1 hybrid's growth and form.

The backcross led to three distinct phenotypes: a Deep Chunk variant mirroring the original SweetChunk F1 in resin production, bud compactness, and a more Indica appearance with a hashy, slightly fruity aroma; a phenotype identical to the Sweet Pink Grapefruit Clone, exhibiting sativa-dominant growth and an intense smell; and a third phenotype closely resembling the second, but with a slightly more Sativa-dominant growth and a berry nuance to its flavor. Overall, the breeding process not only preserved the SPG clone's desirable traits but also introduced variations that enhanced the plant's aroma, flavor, and possibly its yield.
