Puck Bc3 by Crickets And Cicada Seeds
Puck (Skelly Hashplant)
Puck BC3, developed by Crickets and Cicada Seeds, is a predominantly indica cultivar designed to stabilize the traits of the original Puck, also known as Skelly Hashplant. This third-generation backcross results in plants with compact structures and resin-rich flowers, offering a deeply calming experience.
Appearance
Puck BC3 plants are characterized by a short, stocky stature with stout stems and prolific lateral branching. The leaves are broad and dark green. During flowering, they develop dense, spherical clusters that form spear-shaped colas. The flowers are compact, weighty, and heavily coated in resin, with a forest green to olive coloration that can be muted by the abundant white trichomes. Occasional purple streaking may appear under cooler temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Puck BC3 is described as reminiscent of old-school hashplants, featuring heavy earthy notes, dark spice, and a distinct skunky scent, sometimes with a subtle rubberized undertone or a faint chem-onion twist. The flavor profile mirrors this, with dominant earthy, skunky, and spicy notes, complemented by hints of sweetness and lemon. The smoke is thick and lingering, leaving a resinous mouthfeel.
Effects
Consumers report a swift onset of significant relaxation and a reduction in mental chatter, leading to a state of deep calm. Its sedative, body-forward experience makes it suitable for evening use, though smaller doses may be manageable during the afternoon. The effects are generally described as calming.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Terpene analysis often shows Myrcene and Caryophyllene as dominant, typically ranging from 1.5% to 3.5% total terpenes when optimally cultivated. The cultivar contains reported THC levels commonly in the low 20% range, with other minor cannabinoids present in meaningful, though lower, concentrations.
Growing
Puck BC3 is considered straightforward to cultivate, exhibiting a compact, stocky architecture ideal for Sea of Green (SOG) or Screen of Green (ScrOG) setups. It typically flowers within 8-9 weeks, making it suitable for perpetual harvests. The plants are known for their fast finishing times and consistent structure, producing dense flowers with exceptional trichome quality.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Crickets and Cicada Seeds, Puck BC3 is a third-generation backcross (BC3) of the legendary Puck clone, also known as Skelly Hashplant. This breeding strategy aims to stabilize and preserve the original clone's signature traits, including its heavy resin production and distinct aroma, while improving seed uniformity. The lineage is rooted in classic Afghan-derived hashplant genetics.
