Deer Creek #1
Deer Creek #1
Overview
Deer Creek #1 is a distinctive cannabis strain developed by ITC Genetics, with a unique origin story rooted in cannabis culture history. This strain is believed to be derived from Mass Super Skunk or Northern Lights genetics, discovered as one of two bag seed males found from cannabis purchased at the 1992 Grateful Dead show at Deer Creek in Noblesville, Indiana. This connection to the legendary Grateful Dead scene adds significant cultural importance, as Grateful Dead shows at venues like Deer Creek were known as nexuses for cannabis trades and seed dissemination, with the venue playing a role in cannabis history including the discovery of strains like Chemdog.
Deer Creek #1 is classified as an indica/sativa hybrid that can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouses, with a flowering time of approximately 65 days. Originally, this strain was only available as a clone-only variety through feminized seeds from ITC Genetics. The strain has proven to be highly valuable for breeding purposes, serving as the parent to 15 direct descendants in breeding programs, including notable crosses like ChemTrails (Chemdog 91 x Deer Creek #1), Katsu Creek, Mint Condition, and Creekside Wedding.
