If you could grow out all 100 seeds, you might find some magic. Then again you might find nothing worth mentioning. I've grown bag beans from Mexico and still had clear trichs at 16 weeks flower! If I had taken it 20 weeks, I might have had something stronger. But who wants 20 week strains in small quarters? Certainly not me.
Most of this brick weed grows giant, fluffy buds. If it isn't compressed, there's not a truck big enough to haul it, lol. But some of it has that racy, highland sativa stone that many of us favor vs indica or indica dominant hybrids.
15 days veg, lol. This is the large plastic coffee can, almost a gallon of soil. Really huge considering the age...
Here's some compressed big fluff, I had 3 expressions from 4 females. One was actually dense and smelled like garlic and onions. Not my favorite smell but it tasted dank.
Here's some Mexican that wasn't compressed. This is the stuff that went 16 weeks. 20 weeks might have been the dif between weed light and weed right
We didn't get Colombian weed in my parts until ~1974. Before that, most all commercial was Mexican. Average price per pound was $90, $12.50 per ounce. Many pounds came compressed in a ~5" cube.
Back then, the coolest dealers had moral objections to getting rich on pot sales. If you were greedy then, you sold cocaine. There just wasn't the room for weed markup unless you bought it by the ton.
Paraphernalia shops were a rarity, other than pipes and papers at the convenience store. Get a load of the typical water bong of the day...
I found a bamboo thicket and thought I'd show you what the parents might have smoked from.
If you've ever seen Genuine Plastic Wood at the hardware store, this is the stuff that artists used to glue the down stem and seal the water joint. They started with a giant blob of plastic wood, let it harden and carve what they wanted. I've seen hooded cobras with the fangs, giant breasts, almost anything imaginable could be carved and hand painted.
We went from these to acrylic (plastic) and eventually glass. I've spent some big bucks on glass. It's disappointing when they don't smoke as good as bamboo. The diameter of the bamboo down stem is key, right size = perfect draw.
