First Class Funk 2
GMO × Jet Fuel Gelato
First Class Funk #2 is a distinct phenotype of the First Class Funk line, recognized for its potent effects and pronounced aromatic profile. This expression typically exhibits dense structures and a strong fuel-forward scent. It is often favored for evening use due to its relaxing qualities.
Appearance and Structure
First Class Funk #2 plants are generally medium in height and exhibit vigorous lateral branching, especially when cultivated with early training. The internodal spacing is moderate, leading to dense, compact buds that mature into substantial colas. These buds are covered in a heavy layer of trichomes, giving them a greasy, silvered appearance. Pistils often turn a burnt orange or rust color, contrasting with deep purple hues that can develop in the sugar leaves under cooler temperatures.
The cured flowers maintain their structure well, resisting compression and offering a premium feel. The dense morphology requires careful drying and airflow management to ensure moisture does not remain trapped within the core of larger buds.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of First Class Funk #2 is characterized by an initial burst of jet fuel and garlic, followed by notes of black pepper and a subtle sweet cream undertone. When ground, the scent profile expands to include hints of onion skin and diesel exhaust, with an earthy spice. Warming the flower can reveal sweeter, vanilla-cream nuances beneath the dominant pungent notes.
Consumers often perceive the aroma in stages: a prominent fuel opening, a savory garlic middle, and a lingering sweet and peppery finish. The strain is noted for its strong scent at room temperature.
Effects
First Class Funk #2 is often sought for its relaxing and sedative properties, making it a popular choice for evening consumption. While some batches may provide a more balanced onset, including a euphoric phase, the predominant effects tend to be body-focused and calming. The strain's potency and terpene density contribute to its reputation for strong, noticeable effects.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
First Class Funk #2 typically tests high in THC, with observed ranges frequently falling between 22-30%. Total terpene content commonly measures between 2.0-3.5% by weight. The terpene profile is understood to contribute to the strain's layered aromatic complexity and its perceived effects.
Origins and Lineage
First Class Funk #2 is a selected phenotype from the broader First Class Funk line, which itself is a cross of GMO (Garlic Cookies) and Jet Fuel Gelato. GMO, a lineage tracing to Chem D and Girl Scout Cookies, provides the characteristic garlic and chem notes, along with heavy resin production. Jet Fuel Gelato, often a cross of Jet Fuel and a Gelato selection, contributes high-octane fuel aromas and creamier sweetness.
The #2 designation signifies a specific keeper phenotype identified during a pheno-hunt, chosen for its distinct aromatic qualities, resin production, and structural characteristics. This particular cut is recognized for amplifying the gassy elements of Jet Fuel Gelato and the sulfurous undertones of GMO.
Cultivation Notes
This phenotype typically exhibits a manageable stretch of approximately 1.6–2.2x in the early flowering weeks. It develops strong lateral branches, making it suitable for training techniques like SCROG. The internodes are moderately spaced, facilitating dense cola formation. Growers report that the thick, resinous trichomes are resilient during trimming and maintain their stickiness post-cure.
The dense bud structure necessitates careful drying and airflow management to prevent internal moisture buildup. The plant's genetic makeup suggests dominant contributions from beta-caryophyllene and limonene, with myrcene and humulene also playing significant roles in its aromatic profile.
