BLOCKHEAD from SOL & DJ Short influence?

[Guest]

I beg to differ thorax. I am possitive that your father is incorrect. I don't like the spread of false information so I need to make this clear.

First, the daddy is not "SWT3 BX P1", that doesn't even make sense. The swt bx2 was steves prized male. SWT3 is the third backcross to the SPG. The original SWT cross was SPG x blueberry. The SWT3 and blockhead share the father along w/ LUI, Bsat#2 and SWT4. He used it until he had to lose it do to shit going down in switzerland.

Second, read the damn seed discriptions!

Blockhead - This is a new addition to Spice of Life Seeds. The mother was selected from seed developed by one crazy yanqui. The exact origins are somewhat of a mystery. It is strong pot. The feminized mothers were fairly homogenous, although from several of the line, and another more extreme sativa. This mother had indica-like buds on a sativa sized plant. Crossed with the same SwT father as Sweet Tooth #3, I am sure you find it distinctly different from anything on the market. It should probably not even be on the market as it encourages psychosis. Not good for unstable folks! It has been known to magnify neurotic behaviour.

Sweet Tooth #3* -This Sweet Tooth is the result of one backcross line wherein the goal in searching the father was an emphasis on the taxonomy and aroma of the original SPG mother. The Grapefruit is a true favorite among growers and consumers. It is possibly the most cultivated strain among commercial producers in Vancouver. The preceding BX2 seed that the father was selected from produced quite homogenous grapefruit-like plants, this generation should be suitable for crossing. The plant is high yielding for a Sweet Tooth yet retains the exceptional candied sweetness this strain is famous for. A beautiful plant with a beautiful taste and a positive vibration. A smiling high is guaranteed from these heady flowers. The plants are quite hardy and easy to grow, and prefer a drier finishing time, as the buds become fat enough for mold to be of concern. These chunky monkeys often require staking but in a windy location they should be stout enough to hold their own (significant) weight. Does well as a small bush but will become a large bush given adequate growth parameters. Whether this is an exceptional commercial strain or head stash is for you to decide. I truly hope you enjoy these plants as much as I do.

Indoors Flowering: 8wks
Outdoors: mid.Oct.
Indoors Yield: Way Above Average (easily 500gms per metre)
Outdoors: Above Average

Yukon,

Thanks for the information. I'm glad to see we haven't lost all the knowledge from OG and CW.

My two blockhead female freebies are seven weeks into flower. All these posts got me going. I just had to try em for the first time.

So, I picked a couple of early buds. Trichomes are all clear, no amber yet. It is cold in my grow and that may be retarding development a little.

Great sweet-piney taste even with a quick two day dry. Solid well developed indica buds.

After a couple of bongs, my heart feels like it wants to flip-flop around. Like I've just been startled or something. . . Very strong pot.

At this stage the high is all speed and not narcotic at all. I may go ahead and cut them. At my age I sleep enough. I have a need for speed . .

Thorax, where is breeder Steve's website? I did a Yahoo search after reading your post and can't find it.

Schmokin.....

Instead of reading a seed description....ask Steve.

I did, obviously you did not.

 

[Guest]

Thanks for all the knowledge guys...

"kmarpa" ..good to see ya...I'm stoked that someone does remember my TFB thread.

I have learned alot more of the specifics in my short time on IC than I ever did on OG.

"Thorax"...thanks for clearing up the fog in my head as to where I got the DJ Short BB influence...that really helps. And I now know that "1Krazyyanqui" is not just a (random, wild, american)....my original thought.

"the dank" I have given away some beans, but have not really thought of selling any...just not sure how safe, or how much of a pain in the ass it might be. However...as BH beans seem to be harder and harder to come by it might be a good idea (I'll have to give it some thought). I have only done 1 grow w/ the BH backrosses, and I cant tell any difference in those than I did from the first round.

The TFB's finish a bit faster, and pack damn near the exact same "punch"...I have noticed that the MTF influece seems to cut down on the "tolerence" factor. Thats a magical trait of MTF if any of you have grown/smoked much of it you sure do know. Every time ya smoke it, it's damn near like the first time ya got high on good weed.

"harpo" glad I could help out a bit bro. I think your gonna be in for quite a nice surprise, once you get into some that has been properly finished, dried, and cured.
I'm not sure if I already mentioned it in a post, but BH is VERY good for med. patients that use weed for pain. It has a VERY STRONG muscle relaxant quality. You'll see what I mean.

This is a nice way to meet some of youe peeps...I'm glad there is a place on the net still where I can talk to people that have something in common. I dont have very much in common w/ most people, and If Im around here long enough you'll understand...Not in a bad way at all, just a bit different. (peeps from OG probably already know a bit how I am)

good lookin out u guys!

Steve has never contradicted what is in the seed discriptions. I have read pretty much all his posts on CW and cannabids.

Hi Yukon (et all):

I've heard nothing but good things from this strain for a while now. I'm looking for a good yielding heavy indica to round out my little collection of strains.

I'm still a little confused, even after reading about its lineage.

I was under the assumption that it is an indica dominant plant witha a great body stone. You and another poster above do, however, mention the parnoia/psychosis factor...which doesn't seem to jive with indica qualities...can you explain the head to body buzz/high in more detail. Sorry to make you do this but without a strain guide...

Basically, at 50/50 trichs, what are we smokin' here?

I remember reading about Blockhead on OG, and the review sounded great..But those ''Yukon'' budshots are to die for!! Alaskan crossed w/BH what a mouth watering combo!! Absolutely beautiful...

I planted 1 Block head seed, and i saw this morning that it came up.
Now I just need it to be a female.
)))

 

[raz1012]

Blockhead has a nice female ratio.... overall in my experience 7/10 went female. Real tasty stoney smoke.

 

[Guest]

BUMP

i thought id throw this one back up since it has good lineage info for those interested in blockhead

 

[sttb]

yep blockhead one of my favorites too harty plant potent as well gypsy gave me some 4 years ago on overgrow when i was in chatroom with him bullshittin that gypsy such a good dude

Blockhead has been one of my faves from the 1st time I smoked it, and has continued to be one.

Now, my BHs were freebies, and I've heard people mention that they may be 2nd rate? I'd have to disagree on that one..

I germed all 5, and despite some nute deficiency problems I still ended up with 4 females and 1 male.

I still have all females over 6 month later, I may cull one soon, but I'm still not 100% sure.

I hear people talking about different BH phenos, like BB and grape, but I'm not sure which category I'd class each pheno in. Any comments would be appreciated from the people who have identified certain phenos.

Most of the phenos have the similar fuely-grapefruit smell to them, altho 1 pheno has a more hashy smell, and another has much more GF smell. One has a sweeter smell, and has much more stretch than the other phenos. The I have one pheno with the typical fuel/gf smell but with longer petoiles, and good structure.

The 5 seeds were Big, Black, healthy, and all germed in 24 hrs. The plants were/are all pretty amazing IMHO, certainly not 2nd quality by any means or definition.

I'd love to hear other BH grower's takes on these phenos.. The 1st 2 plants are my 2 fave phenos, then the next is my next fave, and so on.

this is the hashier pheno, but still lots of gf/fuel in there.







This one has lots of gf smell, very tasty.









Then we have my next fave, kinda in between the top 2 phenos in smell.









Then we have the BBish one, but again, still has the GF and fuel int he background. This one has the lowest trichome production, but it's still a very respectable smoke.






Here is the male, the only male I got, which was the most amazing resin producign male I have seen, which a great smell on the GF side, and insanely dense male flowers.







I'd love any and all comments from other BH growers on phenotype.

I dont know about the SwT#3 but blueberry has a different bud structure in my opinion.

The buds are swollen and fat, like bracts stacked ontop of eachother. I saw a pic of Blockhead with this look. The grower says its the BB pheno. His pic of the swt pheno has an average structure


just found the pics

heres my two BH phenos ffrom seed bean counter...both had hearty earthy tones just like the adventure mix females wich showed no color, looked simular and tasted the same....just had diferent nugg structure and color....hope this helps you

 

[nycdfan042]

i must also add that i didnt add dolomite lime or bone meal or blood meal to that mix... it was early on in my growing experience and im sure if i did that grow again it would come out meaner and greener. that block head wasnt much on smell n taste but it was impressive to everyone who saw her and visually its a stunning plant...but how was every one elses experiences with the smell or taste factor? i already know how beautiful this plant is..steve and dj short are on the same pedestal as soma really awesome on point stuff... my favorite all time images from OG still to this dayJLP's Blue Sattellite #2 Images on OG :drool:

 

[beancounter]

thanks for all the pics nycdfan042! good stuff.

Your plants definately look like Sweet Tooth or SPG phenos, very pretty indeed.

The taste is great IMO, but taste is a very personal thing. My phenos just have a great fuely, citrius/GF, danky, lightly skunky flavor and smell, and an excellent after taste. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back for it, and I know it'll work on me every single time. Very little tolerance build up, and obviously it has superb bag appeal.

For example, I found some excellent C99 phenos, and when I smoked the 1st joint I thought for a 2nd, wow, I found something as good or better than Blockhead. After smoking C99 for a couple days it had lost most of it's edge and kick, and it quickly losts points on the keeper scale, altho C99 is excellent weed, I find it better as a once ever couple day weed, or for the weekends. And I have never felt a real drop in potency for the Blockhead. And I found BH gave you that feel in the back of your throat on the very 1st toke that you knew it was gonna be killer.

But I have lots in the garden on this run that have a serious chance of knocking the good old BH outa the top spot.
