A deeper look into
The Ancient Mother
Overview
The Ancient Mother (Peekaboo Point) merges Block Knocker #4 — a modern dessert hybrid built from Jet Fuel Gelato and Lucky Charms — with Deep Chunk F14, a 14-generation Afghani IBL. The result is an indica-dominant, resin-rich strain carrying both the creamy sweetness of Gelato and the earthy hash depth of old-world Afghani genetics.
Interesting Observations
Highlights of the genetic structure and how key pairings shape growth traits and expression:
| Observation | Impact on Lineage |
|---|---|
| Multiple OG/Diesel touchpoints (SFV/Tahoe/Underdog; Original/Sour Diesel; 707 Headband) | Reinforces gas-heavy terps and subtle lemon-pine sharpness throughout the maternal side. |
| Cookie/Gelato infusion (Sherbet → GSC → Pink Panties) | Introduces sweet cream and vanilla-dough tones with smoother euphoric effects. |
| Classic anchors — Skunk #1, Northern Lights, Durban | Adds hybrid stability, balanced growth, and recognizable aroma complexity. |
| Deep Chunk F14 as an IBL father | Ensures consistency and compact morphology; denser buds, hashy aroma, and shorter flowering (~56–63 days). |
| Lucky Charms lineage (Appalachia × The White) | Supplies vigorous branching and sweetness that soften Deep Chunk’s rigidity. |
Key Terpenes
A breakdown of dominant aromatic profiles and the genetic sources most responsible for them:
| Terpene / Aroma | Primary Lineage Source |
|---|---|
| Gas / Fuel | Diesel and OG Kush families |
| Sweet Cream / Vanilla | Gelato, Sherbet, GSC branches |
| Earthy Hash / Cocoa | Deep Chunk, Afghani genetics |
| Pine / Lemon | SFV and Tahoe OGs |
| Apricot / Citrus | Legend Orange Apricot cross |
| Musky Skunk | Skunk #1 lineage |
Expected Effects
This table outlines the primary effects inherited from The Ancient Mother’s genetic composition:
| Effect Domain | Primary Genetic Source | Typical Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Indica Body | Deep Chunk, Afghani, Northern Lights | Heavy relaxation, muscle ease, grounding calm; slow, immersive body presence ideal for rest or evening. |
| Sativa Mind | Sour Diesel, Durban Poison | Bright, creative energy and mental clarity; mild uplift without anxiety. |
| Hybrid Balance | OG Kush, Gelato, Skunk #1 | Centered, happy euphoria with smooth physical comfort and emotional steadiness. |
| Duration / Tone | Cross of long-running sativa lines with short indica bloomers | Medium-length high (2–3 hours); begins euphoric, fades into calm introspection. |
| Grower’s Cue | Based on lineage balance | Leans indica in morphology; effects slightly more hybrid — ideal for late-afternoon creative relaxation. |
