How's this one leaning cap'n? The other LVTK.

Hi Brother,
I haven't grown the LVTK or any of my Cannaventure gear yet, but I have been growing and breeding since '81.
All I know about the 2 lines that make up LVTK are what I've seen on.line, so i don't want to make BS assessments based on looking at a pic when you are there in person to smell the terps and smoke test your phenos.
Physically, the LV lemon skunk throws more solid cola, spear type structure, smaller calyx.
TK has large calyxes, pointed diamond shaped ping pong ball type structure.
The 2 are pretty distinctive.
Terps and effects of course would also be unique and those traits are not comparable in a pic. She may look like a hybrid, hit you like skunk and smell like TK.
Rusty's selected pheno is a nice balance of the 2 dominant traits, with the large calyxes of the TK and spears made up of nugs that retain the pointy appearance of the TK.
Because I consider the 2 parents to be fairly true breeding, I would expect the phenos in the original F1 to occur at a pretty predictable ratio of somewhere around 25/50/25% (mother dom/mixed traits/father dom) showing mostly dominant traits.
In the S1, the phenos will start to open up somewhat, including the appearance of what recessive traits might exist in the genes of each parent when they manage to pair up on both sides of a chromosome. Because the DNA is identical on both sides of the mating, the overall diversity is much less than normal male/female breeding.
S2s would give a breeder the opportunity to further refine the genetics through selection to narrow the phenos to an ideal expression.
The LVTK hybrid seems to be a pretty complementary match-up of amazing parents and the S1s carry that forward.
Whatever those phenos are, you seem to be doing a great job growing them.
