Does anyone have any info on BCGA mix or Bros Grimm Sugar Blossoms

[devout]

Any info would be greatly appreciated as I've got a pack of each and I'm wondering what to start next.


Many thanks...
dev:D

I don't think you could go wrong either way. Sugar blossoms is grimm's white widow x genius. The bcga mix could be almost anything that Vic was working on at the time ...from what i remember there could be anything from killer queen, space queen, orange crush (blueberry x ae77calio), sweet pink grapefruit, romberry, and others.

there was no killer queen in the bcga mix, Vic said he had not started working with the G13clone when he put those out

I know someone that is very familiar with BG's genetics... especially the SBs. I've requested that they come join us over here. I will point your thread out to them.

Sugar Blossoms has pretty much vanished so make sure you enjoy your pack of growing delights. Definitely connoisseur oriented weed and for reasons unknown always a more popular strain with the women folk than the men. The high is quite long lasting and cerebral and the taste is very old school, (i.e. Spicy sweet with chocolate undertones) something of a throw back to yesteryear when homegrown cannabis came from the USA and not the Netherlands. Yields are fairly modest and overall the variety has very little commercial appeal. Some of the phenos are slow maturing as well which further limits interest for people used to 6 week flowering Indicas.

Hi devout,

From the OG SG....not much info other than it's White Widow Hybrid. I think Joey Weed worked with this strain quite abit...if ya can track him down he may have some better info? ;)

"Breeder's Description - 'Sugar Blossoms'
Smokers of White Widow almost universally comment that they wish it tasted better. The Bros Grimm set out to solve this problem by creating Sugar Blossoms, a skunky, lemon-flavoured White Widow hybrid. Expect hardy, vigorous plants with an Indica-dominant growth profile. Short & branchy, Sugar Blossoms is a high yielding, fast flowering, resinous plant that produces dense, sugar-coated buds that has a great taste and a light lemon smell. This plant, like most Brothers Grimm offerings, is easy to work with, trims up very easily, and has a beautifully balanced high."

Good to see you Dave. Dave was a great contributer at the old CW, under a different name, and has had experience with the SBs.

Both Joey Weed and Capricorn Seed Company did some work making crosses available for sale on Cbay and Hempqc in the post Bros. Grimm period. Most of the works were either F2's or crosses with other well known lines from the Grimm collection and others. Crossing seed lines is not the same as breeding a line or spending years unraveling a poly hybrid isolating useful phenotypes.
Good as it is, Sugar Blossoms is a poly hybrid as in tetra hybrid or penta hybrid, so at F2 one would probably see anywhere from 32 to 64 gross phenotypes. That requires a fairly big closet or years of patience to evaluate. It also depends on how many parents were selected to make the F2's as well and the actual "Ne" or effective breeding population.
Most of the Grimm's work was mercilessly hacked and pandered after their departure from breeding, to the point where most of their strains do not exist anymore.

Sly made several 'one-offs' from his WW backcrosses. some went out on the budm/bman(I forget) auction.
See cp's:
'Thank you Brothers Grimm' thread for more details.
i think they were numbered 28 (big ass bitch), 33(not worth smoking), and 34( culled for a darkness of buzz and less dense buds).

well i have 7 or 8 BCGA mix that are mostly girls. i'm waiting on one to pre-flower, i started with 11 and culled 3 or 4 males. i can tell you that the mix pack that i have seems real heavy on the C99 crosses, i did notice one that looked a bit like the AE77 but that was male.

waves to cb :smile2:

Watch for autoflowering males in the BCGA stuff.
AFOAF who knew somebody, just pulled 3 male 'Beauty and the Beast' from under 24/0 and a couple of girls are showing preflowers.
Screams 'hard to clone'...
Hopefully, the C99 crosses will make up for it. He had several males, as i recall, to hit up those 'elite' moms.
Heard the bb/c99 were right on the button-but with those poly-hybrids, who knows...

Hugs, right back at ya, Kephra, in a masculine, manly kind of way:-)

I have limited experience with growing indoors, 98% of my experience is outdoor. I have grown out a few packs of the BCGA mix indoors and was very impressed.

As a personal grower, variety is more important to me than anything else. The BCGA mix gave me that. From the plant that was perfect for smoking while playing guitar to the one that left me face down in my oatmeal when I tried it as a wake n' bake, I loved all of them.

I would suggest a blend of the 2 selections you mentioned. Perhaps half n half. You would then get to try the SB and still have a selection of other stones.

Good luck
