RKS Breeder Documentation

The Crouching Tiger Hidden Alien stabilization program at RKS focuses on three traits: resin density, structural compactness, and cold tolerance. The reference phenotype documents the upper-percentile expression of these traits in the stabilized line. This is a reference benchmark for what growers can reasonably expect from these seeds, not a guarantee, and not an independent per-lot COA. The line traces to a Granddaddy Purple × Blueberry cross, with each generation selected to fix the traits that define Crouching Tiger Hidden Alien.

Breeding Objective · CTH-Pheno #2
  • Fix the phenotype expression that defines this strain
  • Improve resistance to common pathogens under indoor SOP
  • Maintain commercial yield bands across cycles
  • Reduce flower-window variance ≤ 5 days within cohort

Phenotype Consistency & Stabilization Line

RKS internal selection criteria · not tested by lab

Phenotype Consistency

The values reported on this Certificate reflect the top-performing phenotype(CTH-Pheno #2) selected from a 12-plant cohort of the RKS Crouching Tiger Hidden Alien S1 line. Across three production cycles, individual plants from this seed line have fallen within a 10–15% variation envelope on total cannabinoids and total terpene yield when grown under comparable indoor conditions.

Cohort variation (n=12)Reference pheno = THC 22.0%
19.5% (low)24.0% (high)

Note: phenotype expression is subject to environmental conditions (light, nutrients, VPD, training). These figures are not a guarantee of grow outcome.

Stabilization Status

S1 FEMINIZED

This line has been stabilized through successive inbred generations with phenotype-driven selection. Trait-locking criteria for the CTH-Pheno #2 selection:

  • Earth-forward terpene expression
  • Trichome coverage ≥ 30%
  • Stable purple/dark coloration where genotype carries it
  • Mid-canopy bud uniformity
  • Mold resistance under high RH
  • Cohort variance ≤ 7 days

♛ RKS Genetics Authority Statement

The genetic line described in this reference benchmark was bred, selected, and stabilized by the Royal King Seeds Breeding Team. The cannabinoid and terpene ranges shown are aggregated from breeder documentation and publicly-reported lab data for this strain family, not from an independent ISO 17025 certificate of analysis. The data is published as a reference benchmark for the RKS Crouching Tiger Hidden Alienstabilized line, a documented standard against which every seed in this lot has been bred to perform.

Disclaimer of variation · Results published in this Certificate represent a selected phenotype of the RKS Crouching Tiger Hidden Alien S1 stabilized line under controlled indoor conditions. Individual seedlings may produce plants that vary by approximately 10–15% on total cannabinoids and terpene output, and may express alternate phenotypes within the line. Final cannabinoid and terpene expression is subject to cultivator inputs, lighting, substrate, nutrient regime, environment, and training technique. This document is intended as a reference benchmark of the genetic potential of the RKS Crouching Tiger Hidden Alienline, not as a guarantee of any individual plant’s outcome.

Note for seed buyers · This Certificate analyzes mature, cured flower from a selected reference plant cultivated by the RKS breeding team under controlled conditions. Seed-grown plants may vary slightly from the tested phenotype depending on environment, nutrient regime, and grower input. For best expression of the CTH-Pheno #2profile, follow the cultivation reference outlined in the “Expected Grow Outcomes” section above.
NOTICE: This reference benchmark applies to the RKS stabilized line described in this document. It is published by Royal King Seeds as breeder documentation and is NOT an independent ISO 17025 certificate of analysis. Results aggregate breeder documentation and publicly-reported lab data for this strain family. Genetic material was bred and stabilized by Royal King Seeds; commodity QA was performed by the Royal King Genetics in-house team.
