I hear your point for sure but there is definitely more to it than meets the eye here. First of all I chose the Dank Zappa line because I was hoping to find some crazy Afghani, chemmy, burning plastic/rubber terps from that line. From my research I would have thought I could have gotten that from the mom in the cross. To my absolute surprise the females were the exact opposite with really loud laundry detergent smells. I was hoping to get some terps from the '86 UW Black Hashplant side of things but the amalgamation of the '86 UWBHP x '88 G13HP came out way different than I anticipated. Regardless, I chose to keep and work with the female that was the skunkiest funkiest end of the laundry detergent spectrum and that's who I still have. The male DZ I kept however was a really good yielder and smelled just like roofing tar on the stem rub.
I wanted to continue along the weird, acrid, chemmy, burning plastic side of things so I knew I needed some kind of male to work with and I wanted to choose from the Chem line of things. I got a hookup on some Top Dawg gear and ended up settling on the Star Dawg IX. I'm pretty intrigued with the females I got from that line but don't have much to say about them or the male at this point as they just came down. One female SDIX kind of lost her loud smell after chop but that could still come back after the trim and jar cure. The other one however retained her very loud and strong fuel smell that I find pretty addictive. So needless to say I'm very much looking forward to trimming her up and jar curing to see how those terps and flavors pan out after 2 weeks in the jars.
Lastly, I DID still want to make a cross for the Zappa Dawg name as it will be in honor of a dog that is in the family of friends so to speak. I already have plans on working the Zappa Dawg line if anything interesting comes up in the initial testing of F1s.
So there you have it. A little long winded but I hope that I demonstrated that there was a little more going on than just simply making a cross for the name. FWIW I can't stand the vast majority of Frank Zappa's music either.
*Edit* I realize now that I did say that was the only reason I did that. Sorry for the confusion but I did that to keep things short and sweet and avoid having to type up a post like the one I just did.
LOL see was that so hard? Sorry man I like detail and I tend to be very long winded in explanations so no worries. It's amazing playing god ain't it? I did a double purp doja x blue satelite 2.2 expecting purple and blueberries to dominate so far the best thing I've found is a total sweet tooth #3 pheno (makes up 25% of the blue satelite) it's straight up Grapefruit but with yield i.e ST#3
I am not the consumer that seed companies like... I buy so few seeds, it's gotta be something on my radar or like my last purchase something I was gong to make anyways (DPD x BCS) and just saved me a step.
I actually prefer working my own stuff anyways, much more fun and with all the genetics people want to cross in my stable the big companies really got nothing on me, if it's something I want.
