Baguio Bud

Hey what's up everyone. Just got hold of some awesome buds from Baguio. Me and my friend went there last week, did a sidetrip to Sagada as well where the awesome hash is. Forgot to take some home with me tho :wallbash: Anyway, i brought down some Baguio nugs or what we call here as Baguio Gold since its probably the most high class smoke you can get here in the Philippines. Anyway, time for the smoke report!:woohoo:

Smell: Not much to say here but definitely smells something in the lemon/citrus-y department. Abit of skunk since i kept it in mason jars and everytime id open it, poof. smellss like pussy or somethin'. haha.

Taste: Getting by any "different" flavored bud here in the Philippines is such a struggle since most of the weed sold in the Metro comes in brick form which needless to say is SHIT. anyway, this baguio bud i got really stood out from all the smoke here. Has the classic weed taste but with hints of lemon/citrusy flavor. Can't point out really but something in that area.

Bag Appeal: Not much trichomes or frosty as the nugs you guys have there but under close scrutiny with a handy magnifying glass, the trichomes are still pretty much present. :joint:

High: OH shit. The smoke was probably the best thing about this. I rolled myself a steady joint with black rizlas. Not as much as lung expansion but man, 2nd or 3rd hit and you can feel your eyes drooping back, vision blurry and the electrifying feel running through your body. Lasts a good 3-4 hours, depending on how much you smoke. Can be VERY VERY trippy if smoked alone. I accidentally did that the other night, smoked a whole joint myself and ended up talking and shit. Creepy. :yoinks:

anyway, here are some pics


Peaceout! :joint:

I really enjoyed the baguio bud I smoked in the early 80s. My guess is that it must be some of the last unspoiled land race on the planet. If you can preserve it now you should.

Hey Bagseed77 :wave: yeah for sure try those seeds out man. Although i think that the baguio bud available today is already hybrid since its not a straight up sativa like the 80's. Still good tho. I do hope you get to grow those seeds!! :woohoo:


Good to hear your story randude. It would be a great honor to be able to preserve such landrace. However, as the situation is in my country, i cannot grow cannabis for any purpose at all. :fsu: Bummer. I have some seeds from the best bud i came across here in the Philippines and if any of you guys feel like testing these out, id be happy to send you some. IF only there was a way. Peaceout.

Baguio gold now is adulterated with other strains,I was in Pinas earlier this year,to find landrace you have to go further south,Mindanao way,though there has been two bombings down there in the last week,Cotabato and Jolo.

Yeah, that would make one's dedication to preserving the land race a fairly risky proposition.

I was in Cotabato earlier this year Rand,you have to get up into the mountains and ask around for seeds I guess,nut as a caucasian most people are suspicious.
 
Yeah im pretty sure Baguio bud is now hybridized. I haven't smoked a pure sativa but sometimes, bud comes around that is dominantly sativa nature. Pure head high, no body stone, all thoughts racing and shit. Nice.

buddymate, wow you were in Cotabato this year? That's a brave one mate. Wouldn't even go there myself being a Filipino and all. But yes, they do have some decent landraces down South. some of my cousins live there and they said the weed there was tight. And yes, up in the mountains, guarded by the military of course. Or the NPA's. Whichever, growspots in the Phil are pretty much guarded well. And when i mean well, i meant GUNS. :)

I was in Gensan earlier this year,and Zambo visiting friends,I am normally there once or twice a year,never fly into Manila nowadays though,prefer to enter via Cebu or Davao,even came in "Back-door" once or twice through Sabah and over to Sitangkai by boat with the Badjao.Yeah,most of the big plantations wont get busted as they are heavily guarded,now and again a small scale farmer is offered up for sacrifice :noway: Great country.

:biglaugh:

I love the Philippines. I've been to a few places but never Baguio, although I almost did, so close. I met some NPA. I'm glad to make it out alive but I always miss PI and want to return. It's a place of extremes for sure.

Nice buds you got there.
Can't wait to go back to the PI next year, I will be in search for some quality weed/seeds.
A cousin from Baguio had some nice chocolatey tasting weed that I need to smoke again.

my penpal is from mindanao. don't think i'll go visit her anytime soon if ever there. better to hook up in the main island somewhere. i've been to baguio several times and really like that place. don't fancy the bus ride though!

If you are a non-local muslem walking around the mountain areas of southern mindanao you may not be welcome and it is serious business. Do your research before you embark on that journey. There is some wild stuff growing but the planted areas are not accessable and they dont like strangers asking questions.

Go to Baguio if you want to score there is plenty there to be had.

piranha i bow to your better judgement. I will give it a try myself when im there in september. My point was going to a so. mindanao for a white american guy is probably not a smart decision.
