Re-read this thread and 13 weeks does not sound like VBlack to me at all. A friend used some Vblack beans sourced by his cousin who lives in Vietnam and ventured out into the jungle a few years back, and not from stuff the farmers grow, and his cross goes closer to 16 weeks. The same male in the VBlack cross has been proven in other crosses and not the culprit for the long flower time...it was the VBlack fem! I've seen that same male produce crosses that went like 8-9 weeks. That male was from an inbred line out of Hawaii.Nirrity said:Plus VB 13 weeks flowering looks incredibly friendly for indoor (compared to true 20-weeks Hazes or Colombians).
Whatever said:Whoa...what's the story on those Viet crosses more specifically the Nah Trang compared to the VBlack? Also what's the scoop on the Nepal Mist?
Kootenay said:Yes Dubi...I feel ya...with the fem seeds. It is very hard to sell male/female seeds in Spain. It is nearly impossible to do nowadays. I have not tried any of your seeds yet, i hope to in the future! I wish I lived in a climate that would allow me to grow them outside...maybe one day. Best of luck to you.
peace

el gordo said:saving some cents for the new releases... ;-) i have one question, some time ago heard something about you, releasing a batch of deep chunk to make it cheaply available to the masses with the permission of Mr Hill, how true was that info???
Ps: all this strains are ready available? or have to wait to the next year?

dubi said:Indeed We did 2 DC reproduction this year but not for commercial release.
Thanx for that info Dubi and figured you could shed some light on this. I can tell you my friend sourced his Vietnamese seed stock direct out of the jungle. He called it Vietnamese Black and one thing I know is it is not a hybrid and seems just like a name thing. Next time I see him will ask and also ask him about the Nat Trang and also about the general characteristics of the genetics he initially worked with before crossing.dubi said:Whatever, Vietnam Nah Trang is a pure vietnamese landrace and not a cross, seeds collected by grandad at Nah Trang. It's classic SE asian sativa phenotype, tall thin and lime plants with lemon spicy aromas, very similar to pure thais, but thais usually need 20 weeks to finish while Nat Trang vietnamese finishes after 16 week (one month less). High is very up, clear and motivating. High quality effect without anxiety, quite similar to thais, but thais are usually dreamier, not so clear.
Vietnam Black is suposedly a Vietnamese sativa x Vietnamese/Chinese ind/sat hybrid. We did extensive VB selections from F1 and F2 generation, seeds came from cbay at cannabisworld many years ago.
I'd recommend you to check vietnamese strains thread at strains and hybridation forums, there's lot of info and pics about different vietnamese strains and 2 main VB phenos. The long flowering VB pheno finishes after 16 weeks, but the faster denser pheno finishes after 14 weeks.
I assumed it was a Kali cross and wondered how it figured into the mix. The Kali Mist pheno I grew a few years back is still my favorite smoke of all time and nothing has come close...that's why the Nepal MIST caught my attention. For sure an ACE project I'm keenly interested in.dubi said:Nepal Mist is a strawberry incensey hybrid born of a nepalese kathmandu mother and a serious kali mist father. I'm still working between F2-F3 generation.

Sounds like a great match...and am drooling in anticipation.Nepalese kathmandu not only is incensey when burned, dried flowers have a lovely natural wild strawberry aroma which makes incense more pleasant and complex. One of my very first breeding dreams was to mix both sativas, the nepalese and kali, this kind of aromas are my sativa heaven ...
