Some may remember New York Candy Orange from Dr. P of Catnip seeds took 3rd place in the indica breeders category at the 2013 Icmag cup. He had a small underground drop thereafter. More info can be found here.
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=261683 A few years later I shot Loudog every generation of the Gorilla Bubble for a side by side. Following his selections he created the F1 NYCO x GB from his pure NYCO mom and a multiple selection of males from his Gorilla Bubble family run. You may remember we previously sampled a NYCO poly hybrid cross that Lou made x a Gorilla Bubble I selected and dropped as Ruby Red GB. The Ruby Reds were outstanding so it was decided to make a pure New York Candy Orange x Gorilla Bubble line. The F1 were grown out and independently tested by Chemdogmillionaire and myself. With that brief intro we are excited to bring you NYCO x Gorilla Bubble F2 (and friends!)
You will find two distinct growth phenos. The first is a heavy WLD indica leaner with tighter nodes that may finish as early as 8. The second pheno is a longer noded and more open glue leaning pheno that prefers to go a full 9 to 10 weeks. They are vigorous veggers and they branch spectacularly. They respond very quickly and voraciously to topping and show a similar increased growth response to pruning leaf or LST. Of course, as proven in every GB outcross resin production is great to amazing especially if you adequately meet her high calcium and micro demands before flower.
The most interesting and universally loved characteristic of the NYCO x GB is her terpene profile! Main characteristics of loud sharp orange/grapefruit were prominent in every plant! the bottom end can range from glue/skunk/bubblegum/fuel with a hint of sweet or sour to boot. The special male I chose smells exactly like the Orange Bubblicious bubble gum they used to have but with a sharp chemmy fuel base that is mouth watering.
For the NYCO x GB F2 regs I used a loud ruby red Grapefruit Gorilla glue mom and a sweet and sour orange juice indica leaning mom. I love the grapefruit glue mom so much I kept her! These packs have a 50/50 ratio from each mom.
The affects are a awesome experience. The various tastes are delicious and bright on your palate and linger on. Visual appeal is outstanding. Potency is outstanding with a great relaxing vibe that is good for socializing or relaxing at home and avoids a dull edge, instead she keeps you uplifted and feeling good with a sharp creative mind. She does wonders for my back pain and muscle spasms especially if eaten. This strain helps me move and feel good and I can get things done!
These have all been cured and dried over 6 weeks in flowers before sorting and have germ tested great. The Gorilla Bubble line work really shines in giving these the base structure, potency, resin production and growth the GB provides while the terp profile from the NYCO is fully integrated and something very special all on her own. This has become my favorite Gorilla Bubble outcross and I hope you enjoy them!
