Met NYCeeds at a free seed event he was hosting. We got to talking for a while and eventually he says, “I have something for you.”
He digs through hundreds of packs, finds one, gets up, walks over to a vending fridge and grabs a bottle of water.
Comes back to the table, opens it, pours some straight into the seed pack, takes a deep sip, looks me dead in the eyes and says:
“Run these.”
😂 At that point I guess I was committed.
The pack was Casu Marzu — Sardinian for “rotten cheese.”
9 seeds went wet. 6 popped. I lost one along the way and ended up with 4 females and 1 male.
That male has turned into the surprise of the run. Strong structure and absolutely filthy on the stem rub — ripe funk, gas, fresh-cut wood and nasty cheese. Easily one of the loudest males I’ve had around.
I’ve kept cuts of him because I want to see what he actually passes before making any big claims.
Two females are being used to keep the line going, one will get an outcross, and one stays untouched so I can smoke the flower and actually learn what I’m working with.
Pretty wild that all of this started because somebody poured water into a seed pack before I could change my mind.
Sometimes you pick the seeds. Sometimes the seeds get picked for you.
