5150 TK x Giesel puts Triangle Kush over Giesel. One is the Florida cut that sits at the root of the OG family and has fathered more of the modern index than almost anything else; the other is the Massachusetts heirloom CSI describe as often imitated and never duplicated. Two very different plants, and the point of the cross is what sits between them. CSI breed off held clones rather than off seed stock, which is why the parents named on the pack are the actual plants and not their descendants.

Triangle Kush sits on the seed side here, Giesel on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Triangle Kush. The Florida cut behind a great deal of the OG family. Lighter on the pine and cleaner-fluid terpenes than its reputation suggests, which is why breeders pair it with louder cuts; Humboldt CSI's 5150 is their pick out of a large Triangle Kush S1 population.
• Father: Giesel. The Massachusetts heirloom CSI describe as often imitated and never duplicated. It traces back to Chem D over a Massachusetts Super Skunk line.
• What to expect across a pack. Two distinct parents means real variation in frame, finish and nose. Select early and take cuttings off anything you would want again.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Neither parent is subtle, and the cross has nowhere quiet to go.

• The Aroma. Quiet OG earth and pine from the Triangle Kush side, against sharp chemical fuel over black pepper and skunky earth with a bright lemon-lime edge, and a buttery skunk note that is savoury rather than roadkill from the Giesel side.
• The Taste. Earthy pine with weight, finishing clean up front, turning to clean chem-fuel bite then peppered citrus and sweet earth, mouth-coating through the exhale.

What each side brings

• What to budget. The documented side, Triangle Kush, runs eight to nine weeks, reported sixty-three to seventy-seven days with most growers near seventy. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• Two noses, one pack. Triangle Kush contributes classic OG earth and pine, noticeably restrained rather than loud. Giesel contributes sharp chemical fuel over black pepper and skunky earth with a bright lemon-lime edge, and a buttery skunk note that is savoury rather than roadkill. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Structure varies hard here. Stocky and bushy at moderate indoor height, up to two metres outdoors; vegs vigorously and throws heavy foliage; takes trimming, defoliation and lollipopping well; dense bright green flower under heavy resin from one parent; can run very lanky but also throws short, squat offspring depending on expression; stretch 1.5 to 2 times over the first three weeks; semi-upright with big swollen bracts on spear-shaped colas; responds well to topping and wants airflow from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• They pull differently. Growers put Triangle Kush at the potent, focused end of the OG family and Giesel at balanced. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Triangle Kush is a busy, leafy plant that vegs hard and wants working on - defoliate it, lollipop it, and it rewards the effort with dense resinous flower. Giesel is can run very lanky but also throws short, squat offspring depending on expression; stretch 1.5 to 2 times over the first three weeks; semi-upright with big swollen bracts on spear-shaped colas; responds well to topping and wants airflow.
• Veg and stretch. Set the frame while it is cheap to do. Anything you fix after the flip costs you flower sites.
• Flowering Time. Triangle Kush runs eight to nine weeks, reported sixty-three to seventy-seven days with most growers near seventy. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Triangle Kush as the potent, focused end of the OG family.
• The Body. Giesel is reported as balanced, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Their library is clones first and crosses second, which is why the names on their packs read like a list of plants rather than a list of products. Original Humboldt CSI stock.
