This is our first installment of a series in which we’ll talk a bit about our breeding work at Prima. We’ll keep it short and easy to read, while giving the info we feel is relevant.

Lineage: Tickle Burger (mother) x i95 Aviator (father)

Tickle Burger: (SeedFinder Reference Link)

(GMO x Grape Pie) x Double Burger by Skunkhouse

This was a hard one for us to find, but we loved Grape Pie and GMO. We searched and ended up finding some old beans secondhand. Very few popped, and there was only one remaining female after all was said and done. This female had an incredible structure and stem rub. When she was in flower, she produce small buds that were iridescent purple, with an incredible Grape Koolaid nose and flavor. Not a huge producer, but the nose!

I95 F2 Aviator: a working of the famous I95 line by Chemmalab.

Most people know the i95, originally bred by JJ at TopDawg. It’s a legend in it’s own right. 

We chose this line for the male because we wanted to reintroduce some of the older gassier flower. We, like many of you, got tired of fruity and candy cultivars (yes, we still love them – but we also want some variety). If you’ve smoked i95, you remember it. That nostalgia is something missing from a lot of modern production cannabis. So, well, we brought it back.

This particular male was structurally sound, with strong lateral branching. We watched it and stressed it, but no signs of premature flowering or other sexual instability. So we tested it for Hops and Fusarium – and then used it to pollenate many of our favorite cultivars.

This i95 Aviator breeding project was one we undertook explicitly to bring gas into commercial production. And we absolutely succeeded. In this and all of the other crosses we have tested thus far, there are phenos which have a discernible gassy profile.

In this cross there are two notable phenos. One that is purple which is slightly more stretchy, golf ball nugs, and has a delicious grape gasoline profile. The other is green, slightly shorter, and has a more compact bud structure with a more pungent gasoline nose. Both test reasonably high (above 20% THC, some up to 28%) and are capable of our minimum in house production of 2 pounds / light. We haven’t found washers in this line. It’s just a very high quality flower.

We have personally ran this cultivar, as have some of our genetic partners. Each one of us found a keeper in each pack. If you want to find a heavier yielding plant, we recommend a large population hunt, as this girl can do it – but she shines in quality over quantity.
