Dutch Flowers
BLOWFISH (G13 / Blue Dot / Oregon Funk) F1
Named after the deadly Japanese delicatessen, this breeding project begun when we set out to improve taste and yield —two weak traits of the G-13— by using Oregon Funk as a pollen donor. The results were quite pleasing but the smoke test revealed that G-13's power had been downgraded somewhat. Then it was the turn of a very impressive Blue Dot hybrid stud, which qualified the G-13 with great taste and no harm to its potency, although this time yield was less than desired. Finally, we applied heavy selection to each of these two G-based lines, and crossed them giving rise to Blowfish, a winning combination of G-13's deadly punch and the quality and taste of the Funk and Dot lines.
Blowfish exhibits great F1 vigor and disease resistance in a well-behaved plant that avoids the undesirable traits of "blue" genetics (difficult to grow, brittle, leafy, poor calyx to leaf ratio) while maintaining the flavor of the Funk and Dot ancestors and the brain-warping power of the G-13. A prolific flower producer even under poor conditions (it actually prefers low nutrient levels), this low-maintenance strain bears wonderfully dense buds, with a thick coating of milky crystals that will rival the best of the "white" strains in both crystal coverage and brain-thumping quality, with much better flavor and yield. We are proud to offer a hybrid carrying no White Widow, Northern Lights, Skunk or Blueberry in its composition.
Parental selection focused on potency and yield, as taste and resin genes were already well fixed on the Funk and Dot lines. Outstanding ancestors infuse the plant with a high quality feel, evident in the glossy leaves, harmonious phenotype and the particularly frosted, heavy and aromatic buds. Blowfish tends to branch out while adding girth to flowering clusters, forming sizeable snowy colas for excellent yield. Despite the remarkable density of its bud structure, mold and mites have not been a problem. This fish likes plenty of water as well as appropriate root and growing space, but prefers low levels of nutrients to fully express its potential. Very well-suited for bubbler systems and SCROG styles.
Blowfish retained the breathless intensity of G-13, with much better yield and a unique taste of berries and motor grease with fuel undertones that will appeal to pot-snobs. The experienced puffer will recognize a rotten animal scent lurking in the background of this Puffer, a sign of the abiding sativa influence that was a common denominator in parental stock selection. Its buds smoke very smooth and clean, with a great berry taste and a hashy feel that relates to its impressive crystal coverage.
Known as Fugu in Japan, Blowfish flowers live up to its namesake as a lethal delicacy with a body-paralyzing yet heady cerebral effect that defies traditional "Indica" and "Sativa" classification. The plant's elegance stands in sharp contrast with the muscle and intensity of its buds, which stun the body but thrust the mind into a euphoric trippy experience with excellent visuals and duration. It does not seem to build tolerance with experienced smokers, maintaining its knock-out quality over repeated use
Chocolate Trip
Chocolate Trip will please indoor growers looking for exotic sativa quality in a highly manageable hybrid exhibiting the curiously strong chocolaty sweetness and brain-wiring psychoactivity of fabled Chocolate Thai pure landrace. Chocolate Trip's stocky, tight-noded phenotype thrives under indoor lighting, and will reward with an abundant yield of dense buds of top notch headstash quality.
We obtained Chocolate Thai from growers in Hawaii (who also sourced our Lemon Thai, already offered here). The Chocolate Thai had a classically thunderous, soaring high that immediately won everyone's preference. Unfortunately, the superb quality came with a 14 week flowering period price tag. The buds were incredibly aromatic and resin coated, but very spindly, with strings venturing on their own out of the thin main floral cluster, giving it an overall skimpy braided look. Curious structure, definitely landrace looking, but hardly productive even outdoors. Our Chocolate Thai source had warned that to obtain a reasonable yield outdoors, his method was to crowd many plants in a limited space outdoors, in a style reminiscent of hemp grown for fiber.
While the Lemon Thai only needed heavy parent selection, the Chocolate Thai demanded a lot of work to make it worth growing for the indoor grower. We used an Indigo Diamond female crossed to a male Chocolate Thai and selected the best female out of over a hundred seedlings. This female was then pollinized with a pollen pool composed of the three best males of a twin cross where the roles were reversed, i.e. a Chocolate Thai mother crossed with an Indigo Diamond male.
The resulting Chocolate Trip passes with flying colours the flowering time and yield breeding goals: it takes around 50 days or less to flower, and is an extremely generous producer of hefty, thick buds that carry the trademark spicy sweetness of the Chocolate Thai. As a result of heavy selection, the Chocolate Trip exhibits an amazingly short and bushy phenotype: will finish under a meter (40 inches) tall if flowering is induced at 16 inches. This plant will yield an average of 4.5 ounces of exceptionally aromatic buds that retain the vanilla candy taste and trippy psychoactivity of the Chocolate Thai.
The Chocolate Thai has passed all its extreme sweetness and spicy exotic taste on to our Chocolate Trip. The taste is exceedingly sweet, and flavor is highly appealing with a very strong vanilla note over a peanut butter background. It is this extreme vanilla sweetness over a peanutty base that brings the smell so close to chocolate, although we are sure that the uncanny chocolate smell in some imported Thai is the result of a peculiar curing procedure that may include substances unrelated to cannabis.
Chocolate Trip's Indica base hits very hard, but still gives an extremely energetic, lucid, visual high. It has both a lot of "bass" and "treble", yet the overall tune is definitely speedy, like a dance track. The Chocolate Trip prowess is to satisfy the Indica and Sativa lovers equally, even when it is clearly sativa dominant in both high and taste. This allows for a powerhouse high, but there is no "dumb" or "lock" effect: remarkably cerebral and active, with a knack for inducing visuals (as some smokers report colours).
Stocky, tight noded phenotype, great yield, quick flowerer, Chocolate Thai high and taste with a hard punching Indica base make the Chocolate Trip an excellent all-around strain for growers looking for landrace qualities in an easy to manage plant.
Mighty Haze Candy
Quite a few growers e-mailed us requesting we put "that Mighty Candy" strain back on the auction block, so here it is with updated name. Offer these buds, you'll be the Candy Man.
A persistent wish of sativa lovers has been to grow full-rush sativa buds on an Indica-like plant, taking advantage of its early flowering convenience and tight crystally buds characteristics. To this end, we have tried several Indica-dominant plants as mothers for the outstanding Ãœber Candy Haze, and have grown the resulting F1s to completion in order to find the best combination. The MCW x Ãœber Candy Haze was the clear winner: it allowed for a dramatic reduction of flowering time (down to just 40 - 44 days on some individuals) while at the same time keeping the wonderful sativa head rush of the Ãœber Candy Haze intact.
Our MCW's clone (Mighty Chemo Widow, an NCGA's vintage original) cross did an extremely good job, as it was able to fully convey its very quick flowering time and tight crystal structure. The average MCW x Ãœber Candy Haze female takes 48 days to finish, matching the quickness of the better Indica dominant plants, but it produces buds that are full-blown sativa in its effect, with almost no body or physical effects at all. The resulting flowers have taken after the Ãœber Candy Haze in their aroma and taste, a candy sweet, exotic "tutti frutti" scent with a contrasting sour & spicy background. Very smooth in the throat and lungs, even deceptively so, since the Ãœber Candy Haze high takes a few minutes to kick in full swing.
We heartily recommend this plant for commercial growers seeking to produce buds with that roller-coaster, trippy effect of the best sativas in a medium-short plant, with very early flowering traits (about 25% of the females will be an extreme early flowerer at 40 - 44 days). Lovely tight buds with orange hairs, totally covered in resin, borne generously (the plant is quite branchy and thus productive) on a well-behaved, nice-looking plant. Very low odour when growing, does not present security issues on that front.
Very early flowerer, takes from 48 to 52 days to finish for buds which pistils are 60% brown. About 1 in 4 females will be extremely fast, finishing after only 40 to 44 days in flower (these females tend to be the better yielders too). Obvious commercial potential -allows growers to churn out Hazy buds real fast.
Indica-like phenotype, very easy to work with, with a final height of around 3 feet when flowered at 12 inches or less, pretty stealthy plant in that it does not reek or stink. Willing cloner, roots readily, above-average feeder.
Very tight buds with a solid coating of white crystal are liberally borne on a plant that tends to branch naturally (we recommend pruning to 4 branches for heavy yield). Excellent visual appeal, buds sport an intense krypto-green colour and are nicely aromatic.
Excellent yielder of trippy, head rush buds, quite suitable for screen of green type of grows. Does extremely well in bubblers (recommended!). The better phenotype (tight-noded, shorter plants) tend to be the better yielders and also the most powerful (unlike many Hazy strains, where real potency is found in the stretchy, tall phenotypes).
Very smooth, non-coughing smoke, with an extremely tantalizing candy-sweet "tutti frutti" exotic taste, with a trace of a spicy-sour incense smell. Smokers liken the smell and taste to sweet tropical Kool-Aid, and some females are really close to Wrigley's Juicy Fruit bubblegum. Definitely recommended for those who appreciate good taste.
Ãœber Candy Haze full racy head effect, near no body stone at all (some individuals hint a little body stone). Long lasting trippy UP high, fades away without crushing, simply lands the user in a clear, lucid state, no munchies or body aches.
Colombian Supremo
This F1 cross reigns Supremo in our Colombian landrace breeding program as it is vigorous, easy to grow, tight-noded for a sativa, quick flowering with a generous yield of dense, high calyx-to-leaf ratio flowers. Colombian Supremo boasts old school sweet-fruity flavor and classic sativa soaring, mind-warping high in donkey-dick colas covered in white crystals.
Colombian genetics have been at the center of DF breeding efforts for a long time, and many growers have contacted us regarding availability of Colombian-based developments, attesting to the enduring popularity this landrace earned back in the 1970s. We have worked intensively with over eight different landrace Colombian lines and crosses, to identify winning phenotypes bearing the classic Colombian mind-warping cerebral high. This was not an easy task, as the Colombian landrace strains we obtained and worked with showed a wide range of highs and phenotypical expressions, from soaring to stupefying, from acid to bodily narcotic, many lanky with unsuitably long flowering.
The Supremo is the first Colombian-based cross to meet our multiple goals, both from a gardener's and smoker's perspectives. It has been heavily selected for ease of growing indoors, with a very well-behaved phenotype that remains tight-noded and friendly low stretch, thriving even under low-light indoor conditions. It is very quick to show sex, and takes an average of 55-60 days to produce big, dense, frosty white buds with a very pleasant sweet, fruity-piney aroma that is very smooth and lung-expanding. Long, thick colas are of the classic "donkey dick" structure, very thick and dense, with remarkably high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Very little manicure is required.
Flowers are an appealing bright lime green, but appear white from a distance due to heavy resin production. Unlike regular Colombian fluffy buds, most individuals exhibit dense flowering structures with very little leaf. The smoke is very smooth, with a sweet, piney-fruity spicy smell that old-timers will recognize as classic Colombian taste, even if poorly cured. The high is of throwback quality, powerfully psychoactive and nearly all-cerebral, with few body signals. The very strong mind-lifting, get-up-and-dance high avoids paranoia and stays clear and focused. This is an old-school Colombian sativa however, so it can bring about heart-racing and even panic for users not used to strong sativas or if overdone, due to creeper effect.
Please note Colombian Supremo is not recommended for smokers identifying "potency" only in narcotic, lowdown, body-numbing, couch-locking stones, as the Supremo's sativa-engined clear cerebral high will bring opposite results.
On November 2000 we introduced our first Colombian landrace here on C-Bay. We are very pleased to be able to offer Colombian Supremo two years later, for this means C-Bay has lived up to its promise in the face of hostile laws, and we have retained our freedom to quietly breed and offer our work. Except for the memory of growers who have not been so fortunate, it feels like an Anniversary and we extend our safe wishes to bidders and fellow sellers alike as we approach the Holiday Season.
Sugar Klingon
Royal ancestors on this hybrid: Bubblegum clone, original Sagarmatha's Blueberry and Aloha 98 Widow background for the Klingonberry; Fig Skunk, Aloha 98 Widow and Cinderella 99 on the Fig Widow Queen side. We applied a sativa bias in our parent selection to breed out unwanted "blue" genetic traits, and the results were sugar-berry potently euphoric. The Klingonberry name? A Swedish tester thought of Lingonberry jam at first toke (fruity & buttery), and a Trekkie familiar with the Romulan strain came up with "Klingonberry."
Our aim was to breed out the undesirable traits of the "blue" genetics (difficult to grow, brittle, too many leaves, poor calyx to leaf ratio, tale-tell stink, boring low power stone) while maintaining the hashy berry flavor and clear high of the very best Blueberries and Bubblegums. The addition of the Fig Widow Queen has contributed extra power and superb bud structure, its crystal content reinforced by the cubed Aloha 98 Widow (pollen source for both NCGA's Blue Widow and Mota's Fig Widow).
The Sugar Klingon is the result of painstakingly heavy selection out of dozens of potential Klingon mothers. It's built for quality of high, ease of growth and yield. The reliable Midas touch of the Fig Widow Queen pollen source has made Klingon progeny an outstanding, all-around plant very well suited to commercial operations seeking to cater to the "connoisseur" market.
Phenotype: Its sheer vigor makes this plant extremely easy to grow, taking care of itself under a variety of conditions, reacting equally well to both high and low nutrient situations. Very well suited for screen of green setups. Small, medium width glossy green leaves are borne sparsely, concentrating all energy in producing thick colas that are silver with resin, allowing for an extremely high calyx to leaf ratio that makes manicure almost unnecessary. The Sugar Klingon is an elegant Christmas tree shaped plant complete with snow covering, a very grower friendly phenotype that markedly contrasts with the brittle, finicky traits of most "berry" strains. Low odour when growing, too.
Buds: Bud formation is outstanding, picking up volume and speed in the last two weeks of flowering, with surprisingly thick resin-encrusted pistils that cure to a dark golden colour. Dense, near solid buds are completely covered in shiny resin. Even the fan leaves have big portions of its surface covered with crystals, excellent material for bubble hash. Top notch cosmetic appeal: very frosty, hard nuggets, with elegant thick golden pistils and berry aroma.
Yield: The Klingon mother was the result of very heavy selection, and yield was the deciding factor. Commercial growers can expect to yield an average of 2 oz per square foot (about 1 oz per gallon of soil). This high yielding ability is a direct result of its impressive calyx to leaf ratio, buds form solid colas of exceptional girth that are silver with resin (another difference with the average "blue" strain, that tends to be very leafy and brittle). An excellent choice for screen of green.
Taste & Smell: The Sugar Klingon is a favorite for taste, with a buttery, sweet hashy berry flavor that has nice expansion in the lungs. Undescribable berry-fruity taste, always smooth and creamy. A lip-smacking mellow smoke, a consistent crowd pleaser.
High: Very potent, extremely euphoric high, conducive to partying and socializing. A strong, clear up, always very active high that lasts for a good 4+ hours, with very nice visuals and serious zoning. Full motivation, never mentally debilitating. It is very cerebral, no paranoia or couch lock, exhilarating, funny giggling, perma-smile type of effect. Easy letdown, no hang over. Remarkably, very experienced smokers report their bodies build no tolerance for Klingon buds: it's not just very potent, but it's reliably potent over long term use. Will come out as the all-around winner, even against the most prominent "heavy hitters".
Green Nepalm
Nepalese Temple hash is widely recognized by discriminating smokers everywhere for its unique qualities, and we have always wanted to obtain seeds to the underlying strain for use in breeding. Luckily, Nepal is not an altogether unusual tourist destination, and one visitor mailed home two sets of Nepalese cannabis seeds corresponding to distinct geographical regions. The seeds corresponding to the high-altitude Nepalese Mountain regions produced plants that immediately stood out for its manageable phenotype, early flowering and response under artificial lights, ultimately proving to be most valuable for breeding given the exotic quality of its high and distinctive taste.
The best Nepalese Mountain sativas were combined with a Mighty Candy and then selectively inbred to improve stem strength, reduce internodal distance and sativa stretch, and contribute to flower density. Inbreeding Green Nepalm for several generations has proven successful to stabilize several desirable traits, most notably a short 8 weeks flowering period and top notch bud quality. Flowers are bright lime green with orange pistils and very few leaves, but it is their crystal coverage and intriguing aroma that sets them apart.
Trichome production is remarkable, flowers and part of leaves are uniformly covered with sparkling crystals. Pondering at this resinous blanket immediately reminds that Nepalese landraces have been selected for centuries to make legendary Temple Ball charas, a pot snob’s equivalent to the very best French champagne. Incidentally, the best champagne in world is thought to be Louis Roderer’s Crystal, a name that seems to validate our analogy. Flowers have high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which is unfortunate because Temple Ball hashmaking should be mandatory for all Green Nepalm growers.
Aroma is intriguing and complex, and testers refer to flowery, spice and fruit notes to describe it. Inbreeding has not affected the wide spectrum of aromas found in Nepalese seedlings, making it exciting to ascertain each individual’s unique makeup. Most seedlings fall into three basic terpene signatures, all carrying a fruit & spice combination: strawberries / sage, pineapple / rosemary, and peach / mint. All three are uniquely tasty and sweet, with a disturbing rotten meat smell lurking in the background, but this note is only perceived by the sharpest noses. GN makes a good stealth plant, as it has very low odour when growing.
High is perceived immediately, but will creep and get stronger during the next half hour, taking the smoker progressively higher up trough several stages to a very clear final destination. A drug testing program volunteer described this final state as one of “intense lucidity,” strong, cerebral and very creative. No trace of couch lock at any point of the experience, this is a flower for the thinking, active man. Very visual, clear and inspired, it makes a good choice for musicians and anybody looking to enhance leisure and social activities, although it is too deep for daytime. A strictly recreational strain of no medical value: no body-numbing or pain-relieving effects; not an appetite inducer.
Ghaze
This hybrid is 75% G13 clone. The first such offering ever yet retains its Ghaze denomination because pollen was sourced from two special recombinant Ghaze inbred lines, rather than using a plain F1 male. This detour from standard backcrossing techniques allowed for more precise trait selection to be conveyed back to the G13 clone, thus raising the ante in power, resin, yield and taste.
In blind tests with experienced smokers, Ghaze Bx1 was chosen over plain G13 for raw power, high complexity, duration and intriguing acrid, greasy lemony taste. Ghaze Bx1 buds are abundant and quite dense considering the sativa leanings of the G13 phenotype, with a uniform cover of milky trichomes and brick red pistils. Its characteristic smell is pungently acrid like industrial oil or paint, although gently squeezing the bud will reveal lemony and rotten grape notes. Smooth smoke, with a hashy taste one tester described as "citrus-flavored motor grease wrapped in cellophane".
The mother of this cross has less Indica traits than other alleged G-13 clones (slender leaves in a taller plant, less odoriferous and longer flowering), and judging from the instability revealed when inbreeding its offspring, the clone is itself a hybrid. G-13 myth and speculation aside, it is extremely potent and hard-hitting, surprisingly so for an otherwise low-profile plant.
The high is overpowering and its effect sudden: it paralyzes the mind sending it out on an amnesic, trippy whirlwind that lasts for 4+ hours. Some very experienced indica-lovers have refused to smoke G-13 a second time, after being unable to recall behaviour or words uttered while under its effects.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Ãœber Candy Haze was selected as a pollen source to contribute its acid-like quality and create a powerhouse. Our G13 clone met the best male out of many Candy Haze seedlings, selection criteria being short internodal length and early, profuse flowering traits to contribute its acid-like power for an explosive hybrid.
With over 75% G-13 genetics, Ghaze Bx1 brings together in a seedline two of the most powerful strains we have grown, a genetic goldmine representing opposite ends of the cannabis spectrum. We encourage experienced growers to look into this Ghaze, a clash of the titans resulting in a most powerful and complex high.

Fig Widow Queen Champagne
Champagne is a clone from the British Columbia area, famous for its exceptional quality that after being grown for over 15 years has achieved legend status. We love hunting down clones, and a number of coincidences (as well as the customary cash compensation) brought it to our grow rooms. Royally bred from exceptional parents, this Champagne x Fig Widow Queen is an excellent yielder of fruity, energetic very potent buds of top cosmetic appeal and exotic fruity aroma.
Champagne is very easy to grow even under low light intensity, has low odour when growing, is very productive with chunky dense resinous buds, and it smokes creamy smooth. It is a reigning member of a "Clone Ivy League" of sorts in the BC area, along with Romulan, Grapefruit and Pineapple. Better phenotype than fellow clone Romulan, more euphoric and powerful than the Grapefruit.
In order to develop a seedline, we decided on a Fig Widow Queen male which has a track record as a resin, yield and potency enhancer. The FWQ has vastly improved the bud structure of the Champagne to a multitude of great looking bud sites donned with thick, dense and long flowering clusters for excellent yields. FWQ has also made Champagne not just mold resistant, but mold immune.
Our Champagne x FWQ has huge yields of extremely dense and heavy buds, with an excellent crystal covering and a sparkling fruity lovely smell that will please your taste buds. Pistils cure to a nice champagne color, and the high is really powerful, taking after the trademark complexity and intensity of the Fig Widow father. The smoke itself is mellow, sweet-hashy tasting with a marked tropical fruit overtone.
• Awesome branching "candelabra" phenotype when topped, our Champagne guarantees top yields of heavy, huge, frosty dense buds. Has tested free of mold and bud rot, which can be a problem with pure Champagne clone. Low odour when growing, very faint odour even when smelled up close.
• Excellent choice for growers looking for great yield with a very high calyx-to-leaf ratio, unusually long and thick flowering clusters are a joy to witness. Buds inherited the excellent cosmetic appeal of the Fig Widow Queen, chunky floral clusters with champagne colored pistils covered in what appears to be confectioner's sugar and very appealing fruity sweet aroma.
• Very powerful, intense and energetic high, that never enters paranoia land but stays very positive and pleasurable. Curiously long lasting high, it ends without body aches or munchies, no undesirable after effects. Taking after FWQ, it does not build tolerance.
• A quick, productive plant that is ready in scant 50 days, in which resin is produced abundantly on compact, near no-leaf buds. The energetic, powerfully cerebral high is reliably strong: jaded smokers will not develop tolerance (unlike the Champagne clone by itself).
• Classic Champagne mold problem has been fixed via heavy selection, and with the help of the FWQ breeder. Now you can enjoy all the properties that made Champagne famous, without worrying about mold, and with sharply improved potency and bud structure.
Mighty Candy - NCGA's MCW clone x Ãœber Candy Haze Dutch Flower's
A persistent dream of sativa lovers has been to grow full-rush sativa buds on an Indica-like plant, taking advantage of its early flowering convenience and tight crystally buds characteristics. To this end, we have tried several Indica-dominant plants as mothers for the outstanding Ãœber Candy Haze, and have grown the resulting F1s to completion in order to find the best combination. The MCW x Ãœber Candy Haze was the clear winner: it allowed us to bring down the flowering time of the Ãœber Candy Haze, while at the same time keep the wonderful sativa head rush intact.
Our MCW's clone (an NCGA's vintage original) cross did an extremely good job, as it was able to fully convey its very quick flowering time and tight crystal structure. The MCW x Ãœber Candy Haze takes between a mere 48 to 52 days to finish, matching the quickness of the better Indica dominant plants, but it produces buds that are full-blown sativa in its effect, with almost no body or physical effects at all. The resulting flowers have taken after the Ãœber Candy Haze in their aroma and taste, a candy sweet, exotic "tutti frutti" scent with a contrasting sour & spicy background. Very smooth in the throat and lungs, even deceptively so, since the Ãœber Candy Haze high takes a few minutes to kick in full swing.
We heartily recommend this plant for commercial growers seeking to produce buds with that roller-coaster, trippy effect of the best sativas in a medium-short plant, with very early flowering traits. Lovely tight buds with orange hairs, totally covered in resin, borne generously (the plant is quite branchy and thus productive) on a well-behaved, nice-looking plant. Very low odour when growing, does not present security issues on that front.
Features:
• Very early flowerer, takes from 48 to 52 days to finish depending on the preference of the grower, for buds which pistils are 60% turned. Obvious commercial potential. About 1 in 4 females will be an extremely early flowerer, only 40 - 44 days.
• Indica-like phenotype, very easy to work with, with a final height of around 3 feet when flowered at 12 inches, pretty stealthy plant in that it does not reek or stink —very low odour. Willing cloner, roots readily.
• Very tight buds with a solid coating of white crystal are liberally borne on a plant that tends to branch naturally. Excellent visual appeal, aromatic buds give off an enchanting fruity smell that's a real crowd pleaser.
• Excellent yielder of trippy, head rush buds, quite suitable for screen of green type of grows. Does extremely well in bubblers (recommended!).
• Very smooth, non-coughing smoke, with an extremely agreeable candy-sweet "tutti frutti" exotic taste, with a trace of a spicy-sour incense smell.
• Über Candy Haze full racy head effect, near no body stone at all. Long lasting trippy high, fades away without crushing, simply lands the user in a clear, lucid state, no munchies or body aches.
The Candy Uber Haze was born to the obssession of one of our team member breeders, our resident Haze connoisseur. The Candy Haze mother met the best male out of many Candy Haze x Neville's Haze seedlings, with selection criteria being short internodal length and early & profuse flowering traits. The Candy Haze is an outstanding producer, with lower light requirements than the typical extreme sativa, including Neville's Haze. Neville's Haze is pretty well documented by now, allegedly composed of the original Haze brought from the US to the Netherlands, then crossed with Northern Lights to produce a seedline and allow for a more manageable phenotype.
The Candy Haze is a typically sativa-intense high, and the 25% Neville's Haze in the cross has maintained the flowering period around 11-12 weeks (some lucky individuals could be shorter, with the NL influence via Neville's). A long wait for growers accustomed to indicas, but really top yields of extremely potent sativa buds, near acid-like in its trippiness; our Haze breeder actually deemed the result better than plain Candy Haze, hence the "über" or "superior" in its name. Beans produce unusually high percentage of females, so there is an excellent chance of finding two or three top-notch clone mothers. If you want to experience the Haze without being annoyed by an impossible phenotype, look no further.
Note: Given the profusion of clones in the Netherlands (which are actually more common than seeds with growers there) and the enduring popularity of the Haze, one might expect plenty of Haze clones freely circulating in both the Netherlands and Switzerland. As it turns out, the opposite is true: seldom one hears of a Haze clone. The reasons are that Dutch smokers are more fond of the narcotic than the trippy effect, and of course Indicas are much better commercial bets because of the much faster crop turnaround. Our resident Haze breeder tracked down a commercial Haze grower in Venlo, and befriended him to eventually obtain a cutting, promising he will never base a commercial coffeshop operation on that clone. He later got another reputed Candy Haze clone from a stash grower in Breda, but the Venlo proved better, and chosen for this hybrid. That's how we got our Candy Haze, which is a superb example of why Haze deserves its reputation. Not recommended to Indica fanciers or growers, the high will wire them out (or even freak them out if they are high-strung type of people) and Indica growers will become grumpy with long flowering times and fluffy-looking flowers (they become heavy in the end, not to worry).
Oxygen 19
Both components of this inbred line have proven their outstanding quality in previous projects: Haze #19 gave our A13 Trip its notable hazey edge, and Indigo Blue provided its Midas touch to our Chocolate Trip, making it possible for a Thai-dominant high to live in an indoor-friendly plant.
Oxygen’s development was prompted by the desire to enjoy the uplifting, positive mood-inducing qualities and electric ride of the Haze, without having to worry about paranoia or high anxiety episodes. Even hard-core Haze aficionados admit that our Haze #19 has on occasion caught them off balance and threw them into a cold-sweating experience they rather not repeat. Several different crosses and breeding strategies were needed to identify Indigo Blue as the winning pollen donor that turned Haze #19 into an enjoyable, strongly euphoric high in a solid yielding, blue-tinged plant with a unique spicy berry flavor.
The influence of our sweet berry Indigo Blue breeder has removed the nasty paranoid bite, allowing for a comfortable, anxiety-free high while allowing full expression of Haze’s valued stimulating properties. Oxygen Haze is wonderfully mood-adjusting, providing bursts of irrepressible energy that demand expression, from cleaning the house to having sex, go dancing or running. The mind enjoys a lucid, highly creative state, while an exhilarating feeling stirs to action, without any anxiety or paranoia. Taste has also been improved, with unique raspberry and plum notes taking over the spicy, “metallic” notes typical of the Haze #19 mother.
Indigo Blue has also imbued outstanding vigour, making Oxygen easy to grow and clone, a welcome upgrade over the light and nutrient sensibilities of the Haze mother. Oxygen nearly grows itself even under lower light conditions, and its genetic stamina translates into exceptional yields. The abundant but fluffy sativa bud structure of the mother has been radically improved by the Indigo father resulting in added girth, resin and density. Big donkey-dick colas make Oxygen our best Haze-based indoor yielder yet, 150+ grams of aromatic, potent cerebral smoke in a reasonable 10 week flowering period.
Metal Haze
Experienced smokers know nothing comes close to the potency of a true Haze. Growers also know this, but long flowering periods, unruly phenotypes, and the infamous 1-in-5-crapshoot chance of finding a special female have held many back. Breeding an indoor-friendly Haze strain that consistently delivers superior potency has been the very focus of DF breeding efforts since its inception. To that end, the team has collected and grown enough clones and crosses to setup a small Haze museum. Synthesizing our best Haze genetics into one line posed a considerable challenge. In early trials, proven clones passed down their potency genes on to the next generations using an unacceptable, unpredictable domino pattern. To develop a superior seed line, males were tested the hard way, growing out their offspring to recognize the best possible pollen source. Winning donors pollinated our choicest females, and their offspring was then heavily selected at the second generation. Recombinant individuals displaying the desired potency, phenotype, flowering and yield traits were identified and inbred into separate lines. Three years after the project begun, the resulting lines were finally blended, giving rise to our Metal Haze, a hybrid that received high praise from skeptic industry testers. Named after the metal-lit room that keeps our Haze clone collection alive, Metal Haze displays the brain-warping quality that fueled the legend. It is a modern, trippy cerebral sativa, with classic psychoactive soar and scant body cues. Connoisseurs report a deadly, creeper with no ceiling, combination of effects. The phenotype is fully suitable for indoor growing, with a branching habit resulting in an abundance of dense, oily, attractive buds. Aromas range from animal sour spice to sweet piney mint, often accompanied by rotten meat undertones. Overindulging the Metal Haze is not recommended for the sativa sensitive or the inexperienced. It is a deceptively smooth smoke that starts out uplifting and super-active -ideal for musicians and creative types- and climbs ever higher in a succession of intense waves, taking perception to uncharted lands. We trust the virtues bred into Metal Haze to earn its place in discriminating gardens, and satisfy demanding sativa aficionados.

Venomberry
Venomberry is an original IBL incorporating dissimilar landraces for powerful, full body and brain effect, with marked berry flavor and solid yield. All proceeds from this auction will be equally distributed among OBSS, Duff and Tommy, the three current charity auction beneficiaries.
Years back, we tested a batch of seeds collected by a team member traveling in Uzbekistan, and an outstanding individual was kept of this Indica landrace, which is used primarily for hash making in its homeland. It was a very stocky, red-stemmed plant that put out chunky, powerfully narcotic buds covered in gooey resin in about 56 days.
A heavy-select Durban Fig Widow male was used as pollen donor to pump up yield and vigor —two areas in which the Uzbek landrace was found lacking— and add the sativa dimension in the process. The DFW has been an example of how, in plant breeding, the final product can be much more than just the sum of its parts: its unusual terpene signature and delta-9 dominant sativa high clearly surpass either parent with excellent yield to boot.
The resulting UDFW turned out to be a solid all-around performer, with a gifted phenotype, glossy dark green leaves and a knock-out deep, Indica high. One mother in particular stood out on its rhubarb colors, couch-lock potency and a marvelous berry-cherry taste that impressed the jaded, “taste first” connoisseurs, but put the party-oriented, sativa aficionados to sleep.
A selected Chocolate Thai landrace male had its way with our UDFW clone, and its offspring grown. Then a winning, killer potent Indica phenotype mother was selected, which we felt best represented the “venom” that was added to the berry. This especial “venomberry” specimen was backcrossed using pollen from one of her children, and then the best .75 was inbred several generations to achieve IBL status.
Venomberry IBL grows with a manageable, predominantly Indica phenotype, and shows strong reaction to increased lumens like a Sativa does. The rhubarb-colored stems are visible even in early seedlings grown indoors, and the entire plant turns into a joy of purple and red outdoors under cool weather, courtesy of the Uzbek genes. Its leaves are dark blue-green, with a plastic-like shiny texture and blades that turn inward in claw-like fashion, a trait passed on by the Thai ancestor. Over 4 ounces of krypto-green, top-shelf bud can be expected from a selected mother flowered at around 12 inches, in resinous long colas. Buds look great and smell heavenly, rounding up great bag appeal.
The smoke has great lung expansion, and is quite tasty, with pronounced sweet cherry-berry notes. Indica and Sativa backgrounds compete against each other within Venomberry fueling a really strong, abidingly intense high that grounds the body but remains up and clear in the head, with great mental energy. Venomberry is unique in that it has medicinal (lower back pain) qualities, without hangover (heavy eye lids, headache) or crashing in the end.
Indigo Blue
Indigo Blue is our most reliable breeding “miracle worker,” passing on its excellent traits consistently to its progeny, both as clone mother and pollen donor. Even when IB was developed primarily for its use in breeding, it has of course proven an absolute pleasure to grow on its own as well, unconnected to any breeding programme. Since overall quality and vigour in crosses (F1) depends heavily on the intrinsic consistency and unrelatedness of the parental strains (P1), we worked to stabilize our star GCA strain growing out successive generations under intense selective inbreeding, and are now releasing the resulting IBL/IB as an auction-only item. Only 3 lots will be auctioned, so that winning bidders are afforded ample opportunity to recoup expenses by offering IB pure and crosses in subsequent C-Bay auctions. This way, DF preferred role as breeder and primary introductor is fulfilled, leaving dissemination and seedmaking to be carried out by growers self-appointed to the task.
Our Bubblegum clone and Oregon Funk are two key components in IB, and we are pleased to have left ubiquitous Northern Lights, Skunk and Blueberry lines completely out of its composition to produce a quintessential sweet Indica heavyweight. Indigo is indeed a violet-blue postergirl Indica type, full of power and resin, with a built-in sativa component in the high to keep its high world-class potent but not just beefheadedly stupefying. The taste of Indigo Blue is very intense, sweet berries with hashy undertones contributed by its resin coverage. The aroma is very influenced by the Bubblegum clone parent, intense “Bubblicious” chewing gum berry taste. Very dense buds, milky crystal coverage and intense sweet chewing gum smell round-up the reasons for IB's excellent bag appeal.
A very early strain, IB needs to be flowered for about 44 days (as usual, grower preference, environment and individual selected all play a role), and is a prodigious resin producer. Solid buds are borne on long yet stocky colas showing great girth and excellent calyx to leaf ratio, which from a distance look as if they were dipped in a milky-oily white substance, with violet-blue (indigo) tinges. Despite bud density and crystal production, IB has shown herself to be mold resistant. Crystal coverage is surprisingly heavy at mid-flowering (around 25 days) expressing not only on buds but on fan leaves as well, making IB a prime bubblehash producer. IB has been selected for outstanding yield, 125gr and upwards of dried bud can be expected from each plant. Bud weight makes necessary to stake IB early on to help the branches support the weight. The sticky, gooey buds pack as much punch as resin, and even when the Indica stone hits like a hammer to the head, there is a recognizable sativa streak to it, that makes it unusually clear and euphoric with remarkable floaty-visual elements
