Ven Diesel & City Lights

A friend of mine had to tear down recently, and I inherited all genetics which we'd been working on to go it alone. It was sad to lose a partner, but I am glad I was able to "keep the torch lit".

So much of what we'd been working on had not been seen in flowering or at maturity. I wonder now if my partner would have walked away had he realized what he was letting go of.

Anyway, 'nuff of the boring details. I'm sure none of that was very interesting. Please allow me to make up for it by sharing a couple pictures with ya'll!

First up is Ven Diesel. It took over 2 years to come up with this one, and the project isn't over yet!

NYCD x Lavendar F1 - A stunning Indica dom male was used. It displayed internodal spacing so thick and tight that almost everyone was positive the sex was female. After getting over the disappointment that it wasn't, the light bulb popped on - this is royal breeding material! The VD F1 is spectacular in aroma and flavor. Very difficult to describe. The words settled on are candy, insense, and perfume. The most exotic strain I've ever smoked.

City Lights

The same NYCD male powerhouse was used for this one. Originally, the VD was not even part of the plan. City Lights was the first and only project intended with the NYCD male.

The mother is a mystery plant - not because I don't want to tell. Even I don't know what it is. What IS known is that the clone came as a gift from an old timer. According to him, it's been around since the 80's. It produces flowers that look unlike any other strain I've seen. They're so dense it's insane. Originally, we'd hoped that crossing it with something else would make a strain that was easier to clone, had less mold issues, and better flavor. We accomplished that and more. City Lights outdoes it's mother in every way. Of course that doesn't mean we'll be letting the mother die. Mommy is some very fine breeding stock (as you can see in the offspring!).



More pics of this one later....

2 seeds were found in 1 oz of flowers that didn't even look real. It was extremely dark green with amazing purple hues. The smell and flavor were that of many moons ago. One seed was cracked and looked like it was probably already dead. As it turns out, the healthy looking seed was a dud, and then we gave the crackhead a go. Imagine our surprise when it popped less than a day later!?!?

Since the seeds were the result of selfing, I imagine I don't need to tell you whether the bean produced a boy or a girl. I'm assuming that it's a dead ringer for the mom - with the most interesting coloration I've seen in veg growth. And no, there are no nute problems going on here. Other plants in exact same dirt/environment are as green as can be, and temps never fall below 75F. The coloration has got to be genetic.

Welcome to IC mag DankBank.

Before this thread goes any further I would like to direct your attention to rule #7 of the posting guidelines:

7.Threads or posts pertaining to buying/selling/trading/swapping/testing/giving/of seeds,clones,pollen,Cannabis,hash,or any other substance is not permitted in open forums by members and deleted.Threads or posts soliciting any of the aformentioned shall be deleted.

If you have no intention of selling or trading seeds or clones then you can disregard this but if you do want to sell them I suggest you contact Dutchgrown for more info.

For those who wish to grow test seeds I also suggest you contact DG.If you PM new members and give them your personal info then you do so at your own peril.

On the upside,the strains look good.Soma's genetics have been proven time and time again.

Good luck.

Man, you've got some serious skills. And a helluva breeding stock to boot. Those pics are amazing, too.

Welcome aboard. :wave:

Howdy everyone. First of all, let me make it clear that NOTHING is being offered here. All I'm doing is sharing pics and information. Don't bother PMing me to ask for seeds or any kind of trade, because I will not participate in anything like that. I don't mean to sound stingy - just following the guidelines, that's all.

OK... that being said - the NL thing is a part of CL, but then again not really. The mother has always been referred to by the old timer who gifted it as "NL", but we're positive that it is NOT NL. If it is, it's an NL unlike anything currently available. I've seen all the NL's that are currently available. They're completely different. So... we did throw the "lights" into the name since it was part of the mothers name, but it's not REALLY a NYCD x NL hybrid. Hope that clarifies a bit... and thanks for the compliments!

Wow those are some truely beautiful pics man. Nice hybrids...I can def. see the NYCD influence.

Thanks, Shaolin.
Yes the NYCD is evident, that's for sure. Some say Soma's isn't so great... I don't know why. Must admit I've never had the true ECSD ala Rez's, so maybe I don't know what I'm missing out on... and I've never actually seen Soma's NYCD either! But one thing's for sure - Soma's NYCD is good for breeding. If I am not mistaken, Bog's LSD has NYCD in it also, and look at the crystal on those! I would really love to see Soma's Free Tibet. I get the feeling it's another "exotic" strain. It has always looked great to me... on my wish list.

The thing I like about Soma's genetics is that there is incredible diversity. You can try 2 or three of his strains and get something really different in each one. Lots of breeders have lots of choices, but Soma's really stand out to me because they seem so unique. Free Tibet doesn't look like a really large producer, but maybe it's another great candidate for breeding. Maybe pair it with something that produces really large... possibly Critical Mass? You'd have to do a lot of BXing to get back to the Free Tibet thing, but I'm sure it could be done. Another great pairing possibility would be Nebula.

So many choices, so little time...

I wish I could tell you yes, but right now there are no such plans. The VD F2's were given away. I have no idea what the new owner will do. I've told the person there is interest, but he himself does not sound interested in messing with auctions. Not sure why.
Sorry.

Hey DB, cool handle. I like the latest treasures from your garden. Good to see ya and your beautiful work again. Ven Diesel and City Lights are looking great. I wish things were going better in my life so I could start some of those wonderful genetics. How's the SQ? Chat with ya later :joint:

More City Lights!

More City Lights!

Good to see you Nugs! PM was sent.

Here are a couple more shots of the City Lights. There are two phenos. One flowers in 40-44 days (not pictured) and the other goes 55-65 days (pics here!)

I love finding fellow NYCD lovers Dank, a lot of people bash on it but I think its great. Pure daytime function weed with a gready heady high. The taste of the pheno I have is straight oranges and more enjoyable than a ice cold Red Stripe on a Jamaican beach :D






Some NYCD of mine...pardon the crappy camera, I've got a new run with her starting 12/12 yesterday and a new camera on the way thanks to a good buddy of mine so I'll have some beautiful pics for ya in the near future :D

Shaolin -

Thank you!!! I don't say thanks because of a compliment - I mean thanks because you're standing up to say (and prove, BTW - SWEET pics!) that NYCD is supa-fine genetics.
I've never smoked ECSD - but I have smoked ECSD hybrids. While NYCD may not be like ECSD, it is a world class pack of genes. I can't say enough about the contribution NYCD made to the breeding work I was going for. In one of my NYCD hybrids, the flowers came out looking EXACTLY like those bomb nuggets that we've all seen from Soma on what looked like his back porch or balcony.... NYCD has within it everything that Soma promises and more.... it's world class, even if it ISN'T the true ECSD everyone loves so much.
My opinion is this - if you really want to experience ECSD, get some ECSD.
On the other hand, Soma's NYCD is something that is right up there with the best of the best, and any enthusiast needs to have/smoke THIS strain as well! Forget comparisons between the two - suffice it to say they are completely different and both are must have strains, ok? The worldwide dispute has hearby been put to rest - officially. Get your hands on some ECSD - a - n - d - some NYCD !!
and one more time, my friend - SUPER pics up there above this reply. I'm droolin' .

PS Veg those plants in the lava balls (know, it's not called lava balls... whatever!) L O N G E R this time!
