Bunkerlinge – TouchMa UEL

Breeding Concept – Enhancement Through Backcross

This breeding design pursues clear goals:

• Enhancement of Early Flowering: Ultra Early Love brings light-controlled, reliable early flower initiation
• Preservation of Climate Adaptation: Bred and selected specifically for German climate
• Hybrid Vigor: Baglung Love Rush F1 brings vitality, growth strength, and naturally thicker flowers
• Stabilization of Outdoor Performance: Backcross to proven keeper female solidifies reliability

The Parent Lines in Detail

Baglung Nepal Line B – 5 Generations of Climate Adaptation

The 2024 Keeper Female represents the current peak of five years of selection work. Starting from the original Baglung Nepalese landrace genetics (Line A, 2016 – this was the 1st reproduction in Germany, originating from seeds of the 1st reproduction by Baldmonkey from original BlueHemp packages), selection focused consistently on the following characteristics:

• Early Maturity: Reliable finish mid-September to early October
• Cold Resistance: Tolerates cool autumn nights and temperature fluctuations
• Mold Resistance: Robust flower structure for humid German autumn conditions
• Characteristic Himalayan Traits: Pink-purple color development during cooler night temperatures
• Aroma Profile: Fruity-berry notes with bubblegum character and earthy, hashy undertones

This line originally comes from the Baglung region in the Nepalese Himalayas and has been preserved by Blue Hemp since the 1980s, adapted to Central European conditions. The 5-year further selection at Bunkerlinge refined these traits specifically for German outdoor climate beyond the 50th parallel.

Ultra Early Love F6 – Reliable Early Flowering Genetics

Ultra Early Love by Reeferman is a line selected for years for sativa characteristics and outdoor suitability. Originally created from G-13 (Indica Clone) × Santa Marta Colombian Gold (Sativa Landrace), it shows distinctly sativa-dominant traits through years of selection.

What Ultra Early Love brings to this cross:

• Light-Controlled Early Flowering: Reliable flower initiation independent of extreme weather conditions
• Compact Outdoor Performance: Controllable growth height despite sativa dominance
• Stability: Proven genetics for European outdoor conditions
• Sativa Character: Clarity and vibrancy despite indica portion in pedigree

The Exact Pedigree of TouchMa UEL

Why This Backcross? The Breeding Logic

The name TouchMa UEL playfully alludes to the genetic composition: “Touch my Ultra Early Love” – because that’s exactly what this backcross does through crossing with Baglung Love Rush F1.

This strategy brings several advantages:

• 75% Baglung Nepal Line B: Climate-adapted traits remain dominant
• 25% Ultra Early Love: Enough genetic influence for reliable early flowering
• Hybrid Vigor of Baglung Love Rush F1: Vitality and growth strength are preserved
• Reduced Phenotype Variation: More homogeneous offspring than Baglung Love Rush F2, as it’s a backcross to the mother of this hybrid
• Enhancement of Desired Traits: Early maturity + climate resistance are brought together

Growth & Structure

• Growth Height: 3-4 meters outdoor
• Structure: Sativa-dominant with good lateral branching
• Flower Structure: Medium compact sativa flowers with good resin production
• Color Development: Characteristic pink-purple tones during cooler night temperatures (Baglung trait)
• Foliage: Narrow sativa leaves with robust texture

Aroma Profile & Character

The aroma profile of TouchMa UEL is a fascinating fusion of both parent lines:

• Primary: Fruity-berry notes with bubblegum character (Baglung Nepal dominant)
• Secondary: Earthy, hashy undertones (Himalayan origin)
• Tertiary: Subtle woody and pinene notes (UEL influence)

The character is clearly sativa-dominant – typical for classic Himalayan landraces with their vibrant, clear nature.

Cultivation & Growing

Flowering Time & Harvest

• Flowering Time: 60-70 days (slightly faster than pure Baglung thanks to UEL)
• Outdoor Harvest: Early to mid-September
• Flower Initiation: Reliable and early (UEL trait enhanced through backcross)

Climate Suitability

TouchMa UEL was specifically developed for German and Central European outdoor climate:

• Cold Tolerant: Handles cool September nights without problems
• Mold Resistant: Robust flower structure for humid conditions
• Weather Independent: Reliable flower initiation even with suboptimal light conditions
• Finish Guaranteed: Safe harvest before October frosts

Growing Tips

• Light Requirements: Full sun, at least 6 hours direct sunlight
• Soil: Well-draining, nutrient-rich – Himalayan genetics appreciate organic fertilization
• Water: Regular but not excessive – good drought tolerance
• Training: Responds well to topping and LST for better light distribution
• Nutrients: Medium to high requirements during flowering
• Indoor vs. Outdoor: This strain was bred and selected exclusively for outdoor cultivation. Indoor growing is possible but not recommended!

Genetic Properties & Stability

As a backcross to a proven keeper female, TouchMa UEL shows good homogeneity with some interesting variations:

• Stability: Higher than F2, as it’s backcrossed to proven phenotype
• Phenotype Range: 2-3 main phenotypes expected
• Common Traits: Early maturity, climate resistance, sativa dominance are consistent
• Variations: Slight differences in growth height, color intensity, aroma expression

Expected Phenotypes

• Phenotype 1 (60%): Strongly Baglung-dominant – compact structure, intense colors, pronounced berry notes
• Phenotype 2 (30%): Balanced – slightly taller growth, balanced aroma profile, faster maturity
• Phenotype 3 (10%): UEL-influenced – more compact, even earlier flowering, subtler colors

Botanical Properties Overview

• Genetics: Baglung Nepal Line B Keeper ’24 × Baglung Love Rush F1
• Type: Regular cannabis seeds
• Genetic Proportion: ~75% Baglung Nepal Line B, ~25% Ultra Early Love F6
• Character: Mostly Sativa (Himalayan landrace × selected early flowering line)
• Sex: Regular (male & female)
• Outdoor Growth Height: 3-4 meters
• Flowering Time: 60-70 days
• Outdoor Harvest: Early to mid-September
• Climate Suitability: Specifically for Germany & Central Europe (beyond 50th parallel)
• Special Features: Early flowering backcross, 5 gen. climate adaptation, pink-purple colors

Who Is TouchMa UEL Suitable For?

• German & Central European Outdoor Growers: Specifically developed for our climate
• Sativa Lovers: Classic sativa effect with climate resistance
• Early Harvest Enthusiasts: September harvest before mold risk
• Reliability Seekers: Proven keeper female as genetic foundation
• Landrace Fans: Authentic Himalayan genetics with European adaptation
• Breeders: Stable crossing partner for own outdoor projects – brings reliable early flowering, climate resistance, and pink-purple color genetics to other lines

Conclusion: TouchMa UEL – Himalayas Meet Early Flowering

TouchMa UEL is a well-thought-out backcross that combines the best of both worlds: The robust, colorful, and aromatic Baglung Nepal Line B with 5 generations of German outdoor adaptation meets Baglung Love Rush F1 – an F1 hybrid combining the same keeper female with the reliable early flowering genetics of Ultra Early Love F6.

The result is an outdoor-optimized sativa specifically developed for German climate beyond the 50th parallel. With its early harvest time in early to mid-September, high mold and cold resistance, and characteristic Himalayan traits, it’s the perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable outdoor cannabis with authentic sativa character.

The genetic composition (~75% Baglung Nepal / ~25% Ultra Early Love) ensures good stability while preserving the most valuable traits of both parent lines. TouchMa UEL is not just a strain to grow – it’s a breeding statement for climate-adapted sativa outdoor genetics in Germany.
