Bangi Haze

Has anyone encountered a super squat Bangi Haze. It has the smallest node spacing I have seen on a plant. Completely packed full of auxiliary shoots. It was one of about 65 bangi seeds I ran. Thin leaves. I cannot accurately describe how many auxiliary shoots this plant puts out. In a 10" specimen there are likely 30+ that remain close to stem all the way up.

I have one that I am keeping as a cutting and the internodes are very small. When it gets a head of vegetative steam, it can get stretchy.

I'd love to see a picture of what you have.

Hope you understand and appreciate all the efforts and resources we have dedicated to bring back this great early flowering stabilized sativa back to its fullest potential, at least we did all what it was in our hand.

Kind regards :tiphat:

This is the reason why I purchase my seeds from reputable breeders.

The work involved is amazing, they deserve support from growers. Outstanding breeders like Ace are producing genetics that are worth every dollar you pay, so it's not as if you are doing anybody but yourself a favor.

As it happens, I'm very interested in the breeding side of things and I make beans with that in mind from time to time, but I haven't grown any out for years. Why search through 20 or more plants for the chance of finding a homemade keeper when you are certain to find a keeper in a 10 pack from Ace or from other top line breeders?

I do make F1's for a couple of friends who are old school outdoor growers, but only because they would grow from bag seed or their own mongrel strains otherwise. Sometimes these hybrids work really well, sometimes not so well. But I'm getting better at selecting parental plants the more I learn about the breeding side of things.

Peace

I've run through many Bangi seeds and I ended up keeping this single plant. It is an apple smell as best I can describe. It reminds me of Mandala #1 or Satori. I can't remember which. The high is strong. Clear and focused but with a good amount of body compared to other Bangi I went through. Not geek out but instead introspective, serious, and composed. The nodes stayed super tight and the plant overly squat during flowering. Not trip weed but considering I let go almost every seed I pop regardless, keeping this says something good. The other Bangi Haze examples looked drastically different while remaining similar to each other.

Glad you like the Bangi Haze. I have found some really strong ones, but the ones I liked were the really clear ones. I'd love to see a picture of the one you saved.

Here was a really strong one. It stunned me for how introspective and anxious it made me feel. I tested many others that did not have the kick I'm looking for, or the clean effect. I did not want to explore the genes in this one. It was too leafy, too stony, did not taste good:

Here is another with tight internodes that is more stimulating and clear:

Both of these had much tighter internodes, but also skinnier leaves. They both stood out from the others which looked much more indica-like.

I regret not keeping the first one I grew. It had fat indica looking buds, tasted good, and was nice and clear. I'm growing offspring of the one immediately above this summer. I'm pretty happy with this mother. If I had to get rid of all but 10 of my clones, this mother would be saved.

Hey dudes. A couple of photos of a little BH's bud from last season. 43ºN. Around 5 months in jars now.

Smells super good, like lemon skin or something, with undertones that I'm not sure how to describe, maybe classic and something like... gasoline?. More oily than sticky at the touch, not too dense but not too fluffy either. Maybe a little bit too wet in the inside for my taste, in the outside is perfect. Tastes pretty good too, but I will not comment because I like to add a little pinch of tobacco to my joints. The high is pretty much what I was looking for: clear with no body stone, puts you in a good mood and its good during all day and with friends. Nice for dance around or hit the punching bag too. Maaaaybe not perfect for computer games, but It doesn't get much in yor way. Sometimes I can feel her "above my eyes" (I think you know what I mean). It lasts for a good amount (the high I mean).

Really strong against cold and heat. Really strong against botrytis and mildiu. Bugs didn't even touched her. Pretty thin stems, she didn't like my LST. Harvested her around the first week of November with ~10-15% amber trychs, so a lot later than I expected.

This season I was thinking about going with her again, but... ACE don't have them in stock and I'm not sure about buying seeds in a grow shop :( Also November is way too much for me I think...

Peace friends.. Have a BH in now out in the yard.. Smallest, shortest plant I have ever seen.. Maybe 4" tall where others of same age are 12". Pinched top last week and nodes are branching. Very kool. Thanks to Ace for my fav plant this yr.

this has probably been said already given the size of this thread but I noticed Bangi Haze clones poorly, takes very long to grow roots and clones have quite a hard time outdoors if the weather turns dry before they can settle a good root system. If growing guerrilla better to use plants from seeds, my bad, I decided to finish flowering the sexed MP and put clones outdoor, should have done the opposite those ones are going to need some extra cares for sure.

This is one of my bangi haze. The other is smaller and very vine like but smells identical...very spicy but earthy smell at the moment. I have clones of each but I think this is the keeper for at least one more run if I like the smoke.

Blessed with a long, late summer here at 49N!
Bangi Hz will have a proper finish, thank heaven. Will check the trichs soon but I'll give this one another week at least. Smells... Purple? greasy citrus-y piney skunk. Better pics and reports down the road. Thanks for your efforts ACE.

Looks like i haven't updated this thread for months! Sorry for that.

Hi +Vibes,

Glad to know Bangi Haze finished at 49N without problems and in a proper finishing time. Wish you have enjoyed with the outcome ;)
Thanks to you for the feedback!

Still producing some new pistils, very nice bud structure, sharp garlic sugar smell. She's VERY crystally, I didn't expect this with Bangi:biggrin:. So far no amber. Probably 2 weeks or so unless she starts popping unstoppable nanners.

Hi deepwaterdude,

Thanks also for sharing your indoor Bangi Hazes :)
I'm glad to know that you were satisfied with her resin production, aromas and earliness in flowering. Wish the effects and bouquet were also of your taste!

Never seen a Bangi like this before...shall I assume it's Kongo leaning?
She's been moulding here and there, no big deal though, trichs being cloudy and smelling peppery... today I gave her a thinning...as if she were that dense :biggrin:

:tiphat:Orfeas

Hi orfeas,

Yes, yours is a very congolese, late flowering Bangi Haze pheno, they are quite rare to find nowadays in the line, i found just a few when i reworked extensively the line in 2014, but i discarded them as i found them too late flowering, too tall and lanky and without the desirable flowering traits i wanted to keep the personality of the line.

We reproduced Bangi Haze in regular format again outdoors past season, only using this time Bangi Haze E25 and F29 females (our 2 best ones) and one selected male, this was made in order to produce a more stable, predictable, manageable and improved new Bangi Haze generation, as accurate as possible to the description of the strain.

Hi Orfeas,

Glad to see you think enough of Bangi to still be growing her. I just made more seeds. I have a special pheno, very sativa looking. It is also strange looking. Something is not quite right with it, but I like the high. I found another match for it. Next time I make seeds from the strange, (presumably Congo leaning) Bangi, it will be with Ciskei, pending smoke test of Ciskei:

Everything looks right, healthy; orderly; vigorous, with Ciskei. Bangi will make it earlier.

Hi ThaiBliss,

I know how much you liked the rarer taller slower flowering congolese Bangi Haze pheno you found ;) That's the most important thing: that you like her effects and that she works well in your outdoor location.

Good Bangi Haze parental plants are very desirable for breeding, and for many different breeding goals. When properly done it combines very well with many different kind of strains. And it's quite inbred and stabilized so reacts in a quite predicatable way when it is outcrossed, without producing many different phenos (although this also depends on the stability of the other genetics used to hybridize her). For example, the Panama Goddess x Bangi Haze F1 limited edition has been a complete success.

I like your thinking of crossing your Bangi Haze with other good africans, we are also testing new Bangi Haze x african hybrids like Malawi x Bangi Haze and Bangi Haze x Ethiopian.

Thanks Dubi!

I found a Queen Mother that is well liked. I have crossed Bangi Haze to my Wicked Weed line. I already picked an extremely pungent male to make the cross to Queen Mother. It must be hybrid vigor. I also have a very beautiful female in my garden for testing. I'm considering Queen Mother an African. If I remember correctly, Queen Mother has some Zamal in it. I'm considering La Reunion to be African, which might be a stretch.
:)

I wound up discarding the Ciskei because I preferred the Bangi Haze. You have done a nice job with Bangi Haze. It is much appreciated.

T.B.

Got some nice comments from friends regarding the Bangi, such a pleasant high.

Fun story:
I've found that the Bangi is really great to smoke when outdoors; it has an effect of aestheticizing the world around me in fun ways. I was at a park near a harbor a few weeks back and I felt like I was in a Bruegel painting, watching all the little dramas of the citizenry. Funny stuff!

Hi Der Raketmensch

Sounds quite like a psychedelic experience :)
Glad you enjoyed with your Bangi Haze!

I'd bet those deformities were just temporary then.
The more I read about Bangi Haze the more I think I will hit it with some Queen Mother/Reina Madre pollen.
They seem so similar wether it be lineage (congo and an old sativa from the Katmandu pilgrinage era, just some Zamal added in the original cross), harvest time, type of high or resistance to cold and wet weather (BH seems even better) and yet they are two old inbred lines. I don't have the space and time to grow enough individuals of each to keep both lines fresh now. I wouldn't expect some skyrocket heterosis though, just some fresh genes that could blend harmoniously.
Definitely on top of my pollen chucking list for next season.

That's a good plan baduy,

I think you can get excellent results by crossing Queen Mother with Bangi Haze, especially if you find the right parental plants of each strain and you test different combinations between them.
the hybrid should produce a congolese dominant sativa with pleny of vigor, great sativa qualities, high yields, good mold resistance and moderate flowering time.

Thats awesome...I found some phenos gave a very hightened awareness to everything around. Wonderful stuff. I found the Congo
phenos to be superior for the flowering speed, flower
density, and the strong odors. Longer flowering Neps had a kinder effect. Anyone grown out crosses of her? I have it crossed with diesel and chem cuts.

I'm at 44n, anyone growing her at similar latitude? Mine came in on the late side , towards the end of Oct, but I didn't seed them until June 1, and assumed that they weren't sexually mature, and thus didn't start flowering when they could have if seeded earlier. June 1 seeding= early Aug flowing onset.

They kicked ass in my greenhouse. The bangi had almost no mold, while a sour deisel melted just a few feet away. Imo, this trait is most valuable as ganja prices drops and Gh herb becomes a option that produces better quality than outdoor without the high costs of indoor growing . I had nighttime humidity at 85% regularly.

One more question; anyone have exp with BH and powdery mildew resistance? Thanks in advance, sorry for the book....cheers

Here my banghis from earlier in the thread, 2010. smaller was the
Congo pheno.

Thanks highsteppa for sharing your experience with Bangi Haze too! :)

The outdoor finishing times stated at our strain descriptions are for latitude 37ºN, where we do most of our breeding and outdoor testings. Bangi haze typically finishes in the first half of October at 37ºN, so she can easily delay her flowering 2 weeks more if you grow her in a more northern latitude like 44ºN, finishing in late October. Probably by planting earlier and growing from clones will speed up their flowering, anyway i'm glad you had a good experience with her and that she finished with almost no mold in your greenhouse :yes: Bangi Haze is also quite resistant against powder mildew.

Bodhi also did a Bangi Haze x Diesel cross many years ago, he sent me some of these seeds as well to test although i found that the Diesel was too dominant in the hybrid for my taste, most of the Bangi Haze personality was lost. Anyway it was funny to explore.
