any one try Planck or Santa Maria in the dam?

^ great post. really look forward to hearing back from you cannawolf.


"it's a line of understanding of the teaching of the beverage and it's guide spirits."


according to what I've read the sect in brazil (santo daime) grew their own weed. the authorities destroyed their garden. the santa maria they smoked was selected and grown by the santa daime sect. legend aka mythos has it that a spirit guide pointed the sect to this special strain of cannabis. this is why I got interested in planck.



"Idiit, what's your impression on the straight No Mercy SM? Effect and
flavor, etc. I have some in the stash. Thanks"

no mery's 8bx was wld dominate. it took me nearly a 20 pack to find a good nld female and male to make fresh beans. I grew out the nld phenos and culled the wld looking ones. berry tasting. up sativa high but under a 400 w hps grow they were not anything exceptional.

there have been other posters saying esko's planck cut is not the real deal.

I gots no idea.

I do know i'm interested in running some sm aka planck hybrids under my newly acquired 315 cmh. the old hps 400 didn't do a lot of strains justice.

Didn't read the whole thread but want to add this question.

In the late 80s in santa Cruz there was some weed going around called "The Frosty". We heard it was Santa Maria Gold. Very strong and tasty for the time. Super frosty hence the nickname. It was some of the best weed I have ever had. Very unique.

Anyone from SC during that era recall "The Frosty" and if so was it Santa Maria? If so I want it.

Thanks!!!

ppl get santa maria mixed up wid santa marta sometimes. santa marta gold (Colombo) was all over the usa for almost a decade and some was excellent. santa maria has been available in Europe as a cut and in a couple of hybrids but relatively obscure in the rest of the world from what I've read.

Yea that shit irks me when Santa Maria is confused with Santa Marta Gold.

Those nugs look very much like some Holy Princess I grew. It doesn't yield well, but the quality of the smoke is excellent. Although having said this, there isn't that much you can tell from dried nugs when it comes to positively IDing a plant. You really have to see a plant growing in late flower to have a good idea of what you are dealing with.

One thing does seem certain. The Planck clone was not some pure land race from Brazil. It is far more likely something like a skunk crossed with a local Brazilian land race. I've grown a lot of South American land race strains and NONE of them have bud structures remotely like anything I have seen attributed to the Planck clone.

Not all South American lines originate from the same part of the world and they're not all 100% pure NLD/sativas.
Some SA lines look like N Indian/Nepali related and these have some indica/BLD traits in them. But some SA lines that are related to Thai-lines are very much pure NLD/sativas.

Here's few photos of Eskobar's Planck cut:
