Breakwater's Baked Alaska Pheno Hunt

Jul 30

What is a Pheno Hunt?

Short for “Phenotype Hunt,” this is the search for the best possible version of a strain. When we acquire seeds of a compelling strain, we grow multiple plants to maturity. Each plant is a unique physical expression or phenotype of its genetic makeup (just like children from the same parents can be quite different). We evaluate each phenotype for traits such as flower size, plant structure, aromas, effects, and potency. In a successful Pheno Hunt, the most promising candidate will become a mother plant for a new strain of Breakwater Premium Flower.

BAKED ALASKA

Introducing Baked Alaska, another exceptional strain from Michigan’s own TerpWizard. For our second patient-facing Pheno Hunt, we’re offering two phenotype selections of Baked Alaska, #1 and #3, and inviting our patients to participate in our evaluation of these plants! Baked Alaska is a cross of a Northern Lights female and the Grape Cream Cake F2 male used in all of TerpWizard’s 2020 projects. Both phenotypes offer vibrant, cerebral, and clear highs that make them compatible with anytime use. However, unique aroma and flavor profiles set each plant apart…

Like #1, Baked Alaska #3 exhibits a rapid growth rate and robust structure, but it also boasts significantly larger flowers. Substantial conical buds display lush, contrasting greens and purples that are muted by a dusting of trichomes and orange stigmas. With sweet berries at the aromatic forefront, followed by pungent fermented grapes reminiscent of a red wine, and finished with a light floral bouquet, #3 is surely a delightful and sophisticated experience for the senses.

Baked Alaska #1 grows vigorously, its expansive canopy producing unique flowers with a tight, narrow structure. Mostly green with purple edges, the buds are adorned with a frosting of lustrous trichomes and mature, orange-red stigmas. This decadent pheno emanates irresistible fragrances of cake, sweet cream, and berry gummies that invite you to indulge in a luxurious experience true to its name.
