Sweet 16 S1 is the Sweet 16 cut selfed onto itself, so both halves of every seed come from that one plant. Sweet 16 is CSI's favourite selection out of a hundred and eighty Pinks N Purps plants, and a self is the only way a clone-only cut like it has ever reached a seed packet. It carries candied fruit, described by growers as muscadine grape rock candy. What you are buying is a look inside one plant rather than a blend of two.

The number in Sweet 16 is a specific plant, not a decoration. Humboldt CSI grow a population out, keep the individuals worth keeping and number them, so Sweet 16 is one identified selection rather than Sweet in general. A pack naming a different number is a different mother.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother and Father: Sweet 16, selfed. CSI's favourite selection out of a hundred and eighty Pinks N Purps plants. Built from from Pinks N Purps F1 - Mendo Purps x Killer Queen, taken into a Hawaiian line and later crossed to Afghani #1. Blackberry 69 was the close second in that same selection run.
• Why it exists as seed at all. Clone-only cuts travel as cuttings, which means they survive only as long as somebody keeps them alive. Reversing one onto itself is how a plant like this stops depending on a single grower's luck.
• Why self rather than cross. Cross a clone to anything and you get a hybrid of it, not the clone. Reversing it onto itself keeps the parentage on both sides, which is the honest way to put a clone-only cut into seed.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Candied fruit, described by growers as muscadine grape rock candy.
• The Taste. Grape candy holding right through.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. Mostly indica; flowers mostly green with a little pink coming through; indoors or outdoors.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.
• Flowering Time. Sweet 16 runs around sixty days. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Sweet 16 as settled and even; relaxed.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.
