Like A2, B4 is my better version of CripXmas B mother. She is nearly identical with slight variations. Island Crippy is the 808 Hawaiian version that has Ducksfoots. I'm almost certain the mother I have from the Corn is quite similar. I crossed this to vintage Maui Wowie 17' bag seed I found that was a massive sun plant. Probably biggest male plant I've grown.

The Island Crippy got inadvertently hit by dust collecting of BX2 A CripXmas, which is a double Xmas males. One female A pheno unfortunately hermied but there were a lot of Xmas terps mixed with stronger potency. Did a very wispy haze like bud. It gave me a glimpse into 2 more. Another B pheno turned more like Corn, growth was self splitting shoots and as a result the nugs were too small. One I kept to be used for reversal showed me a large center bud structure as it partially flowered in veg but did NOT hermie on me. She stayed amazingly healthy for months in a solo cup. I TEST my selections to conditions of stress before using anything. I did this for the Fig Widow with GFW. Plants that don't handle my conditions aren't used.
When I did the three, I ran a poll to ask, which I would use... can you guess which one I was already intend on using ? Most participants in the poll picked B. They picked it solely based on growth. They could not see what I did, only a few were able to choose plant C. I don't select on "growth" My criteria has more depth. I reversed a cut of this plant, however A2 and possibly IC BX2 are BULLETPROOF to CS/STS treatment. They eat silver like it was NOTHING to them or weird burnt leaves. Everything I read is 'burned' leaf to know it's working. I went up to 240ppm on silver hydrosol a known product that does reverse. Not the CripXmas. Only Hybri X was strong enough to actually work to reverse the plant to produce the pollen. During reversal, about 4 weeks into it, the most amazing crusted glands showed with colors from IC BX2 C. I knew I had made the right choice by reversing this cut and cross to the B4.

The B F4 grown outdoors last due to rainy conditions molded and rotted, so this year I've introduced 2 tropical lineages into the B4 to boost resistance to the mold/rot susceptibility of prevention of it flowering in damp conditions when heavy rains come through, especially hurricanes which this year may test the extremes. Her fast flowering is the advantage. We'll also see what defoliation or lack of results in. I want to see if that's key difference to prevention but also the idea is to combine the 3 into one Crippy 'super plant' IF I'm right the terps will be complex and strong, loads of terpinolene, limonene, caryophyllene, myrcrene, alpha and beta pinene

I've given
@cannabiscrusader a packet of B2 pollen that was smoke tested for terps/potency on stamens. I had another but I didn't detect much in it. This was B1. As said no regular seed male gets collected if I can 'detect' any/weak terps or potency. Everything I put forth has been put through the riggors to yeild the best results, so these F2 coming will be will be quite consistent
Well, I hope this explains what's taking place as the results unfold. We'll see if my theory holds water, but if it does then we will have a a combined Crippy plant that's impervious to longer term damp conditions
