Why This Cross Exists
Madd Farmer Genetics made a deliberate choice here. Take the sativa lean and strawberry terp profile of Kyle Kushmans Strawberry Cough cut, SCDC for short. Pair it with Tripoli Wicked, a line built on an extremely afghani-dominant Deep Chunk male from Tom Hill's early breeding work. The goal was straightforward: deep purple to near-black coloration and potency. Not a marketing exercise. Not a one-off. A structured cross with a specific visual and chemical target.
Did they get there. The phenotypes that made it into the vault suggest yes. This is why these seeds exist in my personal collection and why they matter now.
What Each Parent Brings
The Strawberry Cough cut side contributes sativa structure and terp profile. You get branching that leans toward stretch, node spacing that rewards vertical gardens, and the strawberry-forward aroma that made SCDC a benchmark strain. This is the upside genetics.
Tripoli Wicked brings the afghani weight. Deep Chunk heritage means dense flower structure, resin production that shows early, and the color expression that Madd Farmer selected for. The Deep Chunk male from Tom Hill's work is not a novelty. It is proven afghani genetics with a track record. That male is the anchor. It pulls the hybrid toward indica dominance and locks in the purple phenotypes.
The Phenotypes
Variation exists. That is normal with a cross this genetically diverse. You will see plants that lean sativa in structure but still express the purple coloration. You will see compact plants with heavy resin that finish faster. The key is that the purple trait is stable across the range. The potency is consistent. The afghani influence is present in every phenotype, even if the expression varies.
Run a pack if you can. Cull hard. The keepers will be obvious. They will show color early, resin production by week three of flower, and the structural traits that tell you which parent is dominant in that individual plant.
Finding the Keeper
Vegetative stage: Look for plants that show purple in the stems or leaf undersides early. This is a genetic marker. It means the Deep Chunk male is expressing. These plants will color up in flower.
Early flower: Resin production should be visible by week two to three. If a plant is still clean at week four, it is not a keeper. The afghani side moves fast on resin. The sativa side will catch up, but the afghani influence should be obvious early.
Mid to late flower: The purple deepens. By week five or six, the best phenotypes will show deep purple to near-black coloration on the bracts and sugar leaves. The aroma will shift from strawberry-forward to something more complex, with berry depth and spice undertones from the afghani side.
Structure and resin: Compact plants with tight node spacing and heavy trichome coverage are the targets. These will finish in 60 days and deliver the potency and visual appeal that Madd Farmer selected for.
In The Garden
Sixty-day flower time is realistic for the indica-dominant phenotypes. Sativa-leaning plants may run 62 to 65 days. The afghani influence keeps the stretch manageable. Expect solid resin production and color expression if you dial in the environment. Temperature drop in the last two weeks of flower will deepen the purple. This is not a strain that requires special treatment. It responds to standard indica-hybrid protocols.
The Experience
The Strawberry Cough cut brings terp profile and a cerebral entry. The Deep Chunk afghani brings body weight and duration. The result is a hybrid effect that does not lean too hard in either direction. Potency is present. The experience is balanced. This is a strain that works in the evening or during the day, depending on the phenotype and your tolerance.
About This Release
These seeds came from my personal vault. Acquired between 2012 and 2020. Set aside as breeding stock and genetic preservation, not retail inventory. Never shelved or sold publicly. Stored correctly. Viability is solid.
Upcoming legislation changes what can be legally sold and shipped. This release is happening now because the window is closing. Once these seeds are gone, they are gone. No restock. No new run. Madd Farmer Genetics is not running this cross again. If you want Wicked Deep Strawberries, this is the only opportunity.
This is not a sale announcement. This is a fact. Treat it accordingly.
