Overview

Deep Chunk F3 is a third-generation inbred line (F3) derived from the legendary Deep Chunk strain originally developed by Tom Hill and later worked by Jaws Gear. This mostly indica strain represents a continuation of one of the most revered pure Afghan Hindu Kush genetics in North American cannabis history. The original Deep Chunk landrace was introduced to Northern California in the late 1970s and has been carefully preserved without outcrossing, maintaining its authentic Afghan characteristics through successive generations. Deep Chunk F3 showcases the classic traits that made the original strain famous: exceptional resin production, short stature, thick stems, and broad leaflets typical of pure broadleaf indica genetics.

The F3 generation represents further stabilization of desirable traits while maintaining the strain's true-breeding nature. Plants typically display the characteristic dense, chunky buds covered in abundant trichomes that give the strain its name. The genetic stability of this line makes it particularly valuable for breeding programs and collectors seeking authentic old-school Afghan genetics. Deep Chunk F3 maintains the original's reputation for producing copious resin even on fan leaves, with some phenotypes showing beautiful purple and red colorations, especially when grown at higher elevations or cooler temperatures.

Growing Information

Deep Chunk F3 is considered easy to moderate difficulty for cultivation, suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing. Flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (approximately 63 days), with some sources indicating as short as 55-60 days. Plants remain short and compact, typically reaching 60-100cm in height, making them ideal for limited space grows. The strain produces moderate yields of extremely dense, resinous buds. Indoor yields average around 400g per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 450g per plant. Plants prefer Mediterranean-like conditions with temperatures between 70-85°F and moderate humidity levels. The strain responds well to both LST and HST training methods. Notable growing characteristics include thick stems, short internodal spacing, and susceptibility to botrytis due to dense bud structure, making proper air circulation essential.
