Yep exactly my thought, i was thinking more orange sherbet or orange candy type smell.

With the fords im pretty sure you would have to buy more than 10 to find a good one
to me stabilising a strain doesn't mean narrowing it down to one pheno, its weeding out the bad phenos and hermy prone phenos
pretty hard to do when talking feminised strains, always going to be that chance
Id love to have a play around with a few landrace strains at some point, got so many others to get through first, maybe one day down the track hehe
that's not asking much mate, im looking for that one in a million in a pack of ten
The more opinions and insight I have the more i learn, that's all. I'm going off the feminised wagon, cause I'm now convinced nothing good can come of it. But for breeding Ian this point in time I believe you (I) need 2 stable strains. Or it's just bedlam. Then a good F1 with vigour and then clone as long as I can. My mates been cloning a awesome widow for 20y but it's turned to shit. So I must have a biological clock just like the rest of living organisms. (He's going to try my candy clone for now). I also r clone you could cross a stable strain with a F1 if you would be happy to have the full traits of either of the f1s parents. It's all rather subjective i know. And there is no definative answer. But there can be some logic to it. I'm not trying to razz anyone's feathers, just interested.
Hope your stuffs going good anyway. Looking forward to seeing the flower room kicking again.

I wanted to create a strain that would allow me to share Princess with others, but I wanted this incredible “Holy Grail” of indoor clones available to the world in SEED form.- I decided to use a technique called “cubing” to create the seeds.- Here’s how cubing works:
- Pollinate a flowering clone of the chosen female with the pollen of a related male, preferably her father or a brother – to preserve any female traits that are linked to the male side of the family. An unrelated male won’t have the Y-chromosome of the chosen female’s family & therefore any Y-linked traits of the family will always be missing in the seed line. The resulting seeds contain 1/2 the original female’s genes and 1/2 those of the male.
Grow the above seeds & flower them.
- Pollinate a flowering clone of the chosen female with pollen from a male selected from the above group. These seeds contain 1/2 the chosen female’s genes plus 1/4 more from the male being 1/2 her genetics too. I call this first back-cross generation .75 to capture the idea that it’s 3/4 of the original female’s genetics.
Grow the above seeds & flower them.
- Pollinate a flowering clone of the chosen female, using a selected male from the above generation. These seeds contain 7/8 the original genes (1/2+3/8), so this second back-cross is the .88 generation.
Grow the above seeds & flower them.
- Pollinate a flowering clone of the original female with pollen from a selected male off the above generation. These seeds contain 15/16 the original genes (1/2+7/16), in other words, so we’ll call this third back-cross the “.94” generation.
Theoretically, this will be a stable, true-breeding seed line from which all females are replicas of the original. Cinderella 99 seeds are created from a male P94 crossed to Princess, which is technically P97.
In the process of “cubing” Princess I wanted to add a little strength to her branches because the buds were always so heavy at harvest that the branches flopped over. To do that, I crossed a male from a heavy-yielding, dense, resinous strain, Sensi’s Shiva Skunk. Crossing that male to Princess created the “P.50” generation (using the shorthand notation I developed to indicate the fraction of Princess genes in the cross).
Each generation is the result of crossing a male from the previous generation to Princess herself.
Here’s a blow-by-blow description of the generations as they tested in my garden:
P.50 = Heavy, single-cola type plants with mellow high (too much influence from the Shiva Skunk) Sweet fruity scent/flavor. Unstable in most traits – for example, 10 days’ difference in fastest/slowest maturation period in a group of 20 seedlings.
P.75 = Princess floral cluster and bud structure, scent/flavor turned more “tropical” like pineapple. The stability was becoming better – two major phenotypes; short & dense (potent too) or tall/HUGE (less potent).
P.88 = Renamed Cinderella 88 when first released on the market. It grows fast and produces excellent yields of FROSTY buds in 7 weeks! Generally uniform seedlings with minor differences in floral formation and some height variance, but the smoke is quite consistent from all plants – Dense, heavy nuggets of fruity scented & flavored (like wild berries) and covered in resin glands, the dried buds have distinctly ORANGE pistils.
And finally, the male P.94 cross to the Princess clone creates Cinderella 99. The name “Cinderella” was chosen because of the parallels between this story and the well-known fairy tale in which Cinderella becomes a Princess despite her humble beginning.
Each generation exhibited a MAJOR jump in potency: P.50 was rather mellow, P.75 has a well-balanced body/mind high with a citrus flavor, Cinderella 88 is cerebral and paralyzing with a tropical fruit flavor, and Cinderella 99 is of course renowned for the fruity flavor and speedy, scary high inherited from Princess.
