Show Stopper

‘Father’/female pollen donor: White IX, the pollen-donor parent of this cross, was bred by Cannarado many years ago.

We found this phenotype from seed 4 or 5 years ago ourselves and she’s been a garden stand-out ever since.

The fact that we chose her for our very first feminized seed release says a lot! During our very first run though we weren’t quite sure about her because she seemed to grow kind of slow during the vegetative cycle and in flower too, but during weeks 6 through 9 she really put on quite the performance, more than compensating for the shortcomings we thought she might’ve had! Our bad.

We were quick to judge and she showed us just how quick she can stack fat buds on those stocky branches of hers.

The flowers continued to swell until they toppled over, paying no mind to the support stakes that were tied to them. The leaves generally remain dark green and canoe-upwards because of the resin-rails that encrust the edges of the leaves.

Show Stopper the flowers are dense, heavy, and smothered in trichomes. And what about the aroma? She has a loud, deep, dank, pine-skunk, acetone nose… the one that so many folks are fond of. these days.

The thing that is so special about her though is that unlike many OGs or Cookie varietals that grow tall and lanky, this lady keeps to herself, staying on the shorter, more compact side throughout her life, which we love. Her many highly desirable traits really shine through in this feminized cross, and others.

Cookies & Cream, Dosidos, and White IX are world renowned strains that hail from some of the best of the best in the world.

But we didn’t use them because of the sequence of letters that make up the words of their names… we used them because they have proven to be superior garden performers, and  make terrific medicine. And while most performances in this industry are in fact, worthwhile, these Showstoppers… these are deserving of a prolonged applause, and one that will continue for many years to come.
