not a surprise you've never heard of them, they're my own crosses
not really strains yet, just early stages and need more stabilizing, but I've given some specific generations, crosses or plants names to make it easier to remember what's what.
I started off with ducksfoot from USC.
then crossed in a mix of early danish strains(can't find which exactly right now, but I do have it written down somewhere. some I remember are tanska's nepal, thaipassion and I think the rest were all hybrids from hell-strains). this cross, taken to f2 to get the webbed leaves back, I cal dfx in my head and notes.
then I crossed a male dfx to kumaoni(real seed company), and from this cross I grew the f2 last year, and I named each individual plant with A+a number.
A4 was the overall best, earliest harvest and very nice smell, also good leaf/calyx ratio(although buds from this cross are all somewhat open/airy and thin).
A6 was another that stood out, late harvest(november) but without any budrot despite rainy weather for weeks, and much denser/fatter buds as her sisters(but quiet leafy). also best vigour. but not so much/good smell.
A3 is another I may continuee with later, but lower priority right now(it was late and had stemrotissues, but the smell of the kumaoni came trough most in A3, and the high is good).
so the A4 S1 are selfed seeds from the A4 plant I grew last year.
the others in the contest are new crosses at the generation where the webbed leaf comes back(WS07 is wild super 07 from hybrids from hell, crossed in to get an earlier harvest date but hopefully keep some of the positive A6 traits like rotresistance and vigour)(and the a4 in a4x(ws07xa6) is actually an a4 s1 too, not the original a4-plant, one I grew from the selfed seeds during the winter to make seeds. the ws07xa6 in that cross is the f1, while the WS07xA6 I'm also currently growing is the s1 of the same plant that pollinated that A4 s1, so both those seedbatches were at the generation that shows 25% webbed leaves).
the non-contest pics I posted are some more other lines, the bigleaved one has kumaoni in it(A4 crossed with earliest dfx that already flowered in july at guerilla), and the kumaoni causes the bigger leaves.
the others are from unknown(unlabeled) mother, probably something from hfh but could be thaipassion or tanska's nepal too. so those are likely a little earlier as dfx again.
then I have another new cross for more earliness with dfx crossed with royal dane, which seeds just ripened and the first seedlings are poking their heads above the soil.
unfortunatly I can't do big numbers for better selections, and I keep being tempted into new crosses/starting new lines, which I all want to try out, but my plan for now is to basically gather al my desired traits first, and have something that passes my highest priority traits(early flowering, mold resistance and the worst leafy buds selected out), then I can begin stabilizing more and stop crossing in new stuff.
in general, the kumaoni-influence is interesting. it adds more moldresistance, interesting unique smell, vigour and ability to do well on lower nutrients(but lower tolerance to high jutrients as well), but it has also added some negative traits(late flowering, low yield, open/foxtaily thin buds, leafiness in the buds, more stretching/greater internodal distances).
