Breeding for the best stimulating effect

[Carraxe]

I dont think all plants of New Caledonia have 20% thc. most plants I got were mild in potency. there are some exceptions though. a lot of them shorter flowering ones remind me mexicans. dubi was talking about mexican hashplant.. like this one:

smelled great! fruity lemony.

crossed with mextiza, it can be good weed, better than most "mexicans" available today. and very uppity stimulating. I recommend it for your stimulating effect breeding.

Nice to know about these Caledonians. I always make selections to get the preferred specimens, let's see what I get. I've seen your pictures and they look very good.

Mextiza is one of the most appreciated cuts I use for crosses, and I usually cross her with all the sativas I grow. I know this strain very well and I know the downsides of doing that systematically, specially while planning on long term breeding, but what I get out of this cut is magic. I've never seen anything so extreme, and its magic effect when crossed with long flowering sativas, but selection and continuous outcrossing are mandatory.

Let me know if you grow this cross before I make it, it looks very well, but it will take me some months to do. Now I'm busy with the Taskentis.

I've used this sunny day to make some macro pics with an old compact camera. These are Jack Herer, TAM and Thai Angola buds.

This one is the Jack. Big flowers, big trichomes all around. Bud looks obviously like the hybrid it comes from, but this strain has been developed using mostly sativa genetics. Effect is very strong but mixed, after a head high there is a comedown. Still one of my favorite strains: fast, strong, productive (for a sativa leaning hybrid), tasty and vital. I've just made S1 from this one.

This other one under this text is the Thai Angola. She is completely different. Flowers are minuscule, trichomes are very very little and they are all over the flowers, but not in the leaves, just some in the tiniest ones. It is, no doubt, the purest Sativa I keep always in my garden. I even think it could be the real deal, made just with F1-ing unmixed genetics. Its characteristics are the ones I'd expect over a cross made with pure sativa plants grown and selected for generations without mixing with any hashplant or any other indica.

The second pic is a zoom over the first.

And this one is my favourite. TAM. This one is a selected specimen I've kept for years. The cross of the Thai Angola with the Mextiza has brought a plant that carries the amount of resin of the Oaxaca '79 and at the same time an effect that is much better than Mextiza's but also much stronger than the delicate special Thai Angola effect.

Trichomes are mixed in size, somewhere between JH and Thai Angola. But the amount of resin all around the leaves is spectacular. The second pic is a zoom over the first.

So, that's it. The goal of all this work is to get plants with the biggest amount of resin, easy to grow, tasty, but also that have an effect with no comedown. And the trick for that, as always, is to cross and select.
