Bangi Haze

[ThaiBliss]

Greetings,

Bangi Haze doesn't get the credit it deserves. I just skimmed back through the thread. It has gotten the attention of the likes of Mostly Me, Mad Mac, Maha Kala, Funkyhorse... Sativa connoisseurs for sure.

I was reminded of all the outcrosses I tested it to. I tested the crap out of this variety. In the end, it followed VISC Burmese into my long time pollen chucking, breeding project. Now that I've moved to the tropics, I call it Wicked Weed of the North. It has 50% Bangi Haze. I haven't found anything in 10 years that has compelled me to outcross again. And I have been looking, believe me. I'm at the F4 generation of line breeding, and I haven't been able to screw it up yet.

I'm throwing down the gauntlet Dubi. I now live at 10° from the equator. I feel you should make some Zamal x Thai seeds that might improve what I have in this line to grow in this new climate. You know Bangi Haze deserves it.

Speaking of throwing down the gauntlet, I didn't think anyone was going to match my giant examples of these genetics. I was wrong. Holy Moly Glorn2!

Bangi Haze

Indoors I turn off the fan, wait an hour of two, spray the plants down, and then turn the fan back on again. Can't really do that outdoors but maybe doing it on a day with little wind and doing the spraydown could still work. I use a small paintbrush mainly, also used Q-tips sometimes. Same...

This year's example of the Bangi Haze genes that I posted above does not do justice to what I have. It was weather beaten, lightning struck, and attacted by all sorts of tropical indignities that it is not used to. If you all will indulge me, below are pictures of what Bangi Haze has been bringing to me over the generations of selections I've made. This is my tribute:

This below is the selection I used. I regretted not saving the first heavy producer I found with the great high, but this also had a great quality high. I don't regret using this plant at all, despite the lack of vigor. It proved itself through the generations. There is no better test.

This was my next choice for breeding. If I remember correctly, this was the F1. Beastly hybrid vigor.

The vigor continued in subsequent generations, so did the great high. This was an F2 that was rejected despite the very impressive and produtive buds. It's the very best high that counts!

The next generations became pretty darn consistent very quickly. I had been using polyhybrids as outcrosses a lot in the past. The previous two outcrossings in a row of VISC Burmese and Bangi Haze were both stablized heirloom strains. It was shocking to me how easy it was to line breed when I stopped using polyhybrids. These well bred varieties are not common. THANK YOU DUBI!!

I don't remember which of these plants below were F3, F4. The information got lost in my head. I once had this 45 year project documented. I reconstructed it on paper. It took me about a year to remember it all. I don't know where those sheets of paper are. LOL. I documented it in my ICMAG photo album, but when ICMAG moved to a new server, the number of characters permitted in the description of the album got truncated.
I lost it.

Here are just pictures of various plants. All good, and pretty consistent. There are occasional plants that need to be culled, but most pass muster.

The buds are skinnier than most of the Bangi Haze relatives. I did choose a skinny ancestor, but it was the exception and the Burmese was very chunky. Previous generations of my line had skinny buds I guess, including the Trainwreck I used before the Burmese. It doesn't bother me at all. The high is still great. Never had such success before.

I had a couple of generations of much more potent plants with awesome highs before the Trainwreck. But I had to wait weeks after smoking to get that powerful punch. It's like I developed an imunity to it. That problem is long gone now. I'm rambling.

Thanks again Dubi!


Cheers!
