If you get mutated runts from OD fems, and you will, don't discard them! Just a little patience and they will grow into normal plants when the vigor kicks in.

The biggest plant on pic is SugarLoaf, second is Alice, runt is Upstream, and the smallest latest popped ACE Panama






Upstream runt has now even more branches and maybe will have bigger mass than Alice, or at least the same... Had Lilly runt also, and it seems that these runts are branching monsters.

Hi 48N!It is quite early but it seems good!The taste is lemony/hashy ,very close to the first lady .They don't take much after Queen mother on this department which is a shame because I like the queen's aroma better.The first tests of the purple one give an uplifting and energetic all in the head high .A very early test I had from the other one (which I am actually trimming right now) 3 weeks ago was a little different,more dreamy and feelgood.But it is very early for both of them,in about a month things should be more in shape :)

I find my Her Majesty to also be lemony and hashy but she's mostly musk with a bit of fuel.
So far the effect is mostly clear and happy, the strength is increasing and the overall smoking pleasure is also on the way up.
A good variety in my opinion but needs a bit of care when stretching and swelling the buds, found just two specs of botrytis in the fattest buds. So I have mixed feelings about how she would do outdoors. Must try it ;)

Cheers

Thanks for flattering :D
I don't know, but street weed 18 years back had grail qualities comparing to these modern strains I've grown, and almost all of it was good, and real grails were not so hard to find, even green and not dried enough could launch you into another dimension, and I didn't get that even near from those breeder ones 3+ months aged, even cobbing didn't help...Tolerance is not the issue ...

It is likely you are simply suffering from a combination of nostalgia and the brain damage one accumulates from taking any psychoactive substance over extended periods of time. Nostalgia is a well enough known phenomena so I won't patronize you with an explanation of why everything seemed better in the good ol' days, but one thing I see in a lot of old drug users is their failure to gauge just how much of a physical impact taking a drug for several decades has had on their bodies and brains.

There is a reason old coke heads can never recapture that first high and the same is true of user of all psychoactive substances. Our brains rewire themselves constantly based on both internal and external stimuli and using a psycho active drug is one of the heaviest stimuli you can expose your brain to so it is only natural that the brain you have to today is radically different from the one you had before 20 years of cannabis use. Even just the aging process itself radically changes one's brain and body, so it is only natural that a substance you have used decades ago isn't going to do the same thing for you that it once did.

If you had a time machine and could go back and smoke some of that grail smoke that blew your mind 20 years ago I think you would find yourself woefully dissapointed with it.

I too am an old timer who went on a quest to find the grail smoke of yesteryear and after half a decade of searching and actually finally finding one of my original "grail" clones from back then, the one thing I can tell you is that it's not the bud that has changed so much as it is you and I that have.

I'm not saying that the cannabis scene and the popular strains haven't changed at all over the years, because they obviously have, but that's likely not the problem you are having here. If you look hard enough you can still find most of the old legendary seed lines and even clones from up to about 15 or 20 years ago. You usually won't find them being sold online, but go ask around among the old timers who still grow for personal use in your area. People like that tend to find a strain or two they fall in love with which they keep by their side like an old friend. Just don't be sad if you finally find that old grail clone and it doesn't spin your head like it used to.

Just out of curiosity what are some of the old grail strains you are looking for?

Yes, but no.
And there were no strains, it was mostly domestic ganja and some albanian imported...

Those one Queen Mother and one Lilly I had were mediocre in effect, now the Upstream I have and tried unripe is better stuff, Alice plant also better than first two, but not as good as Upstream.

6 regular EDY and 3 fem first lady went into water about an hour ago.
I hope to get a similar female from EDY to the cutting I had a few years back that I've mentioned before in this thread.I believe that female was found among very few regular seeds so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I don't smoke herb,so I am really only interested in the quality of the resin and the ease of harvest/release of the trichomes.I'll update here and add flower pics when the time comes.

I have 2 distinctly different phenos from QM. One is as expected, a tall green branchy fir tree sativa w/ medium internodes. The other is very different- quite short & branchy in a different sort of way. Short internodes. Dark green w/ red petioles, the leaves appearing almost black in maturity. Not purple. They're holding onto their fan leaves even as new pistils seem to have quit forming. The pics don't show it well but the buds are all bursting with large trichomes. The fan leaves on both phenos aren't large and are held very high on the petioles. Very unique, different than anything else I've grown. Smells like coffee.

The colorful specimen right rear is Rishi Kush.

Top bud of skinniest tall green pheno.

https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=52773&pictureid=1815279

Top bud short dark pheno.

They're at 9-1/2 weeks. Onset of maturation has been rapid, almost abrupt.The short phenos really seem done even though they're holding tight to their fan leaves. I'll wait a few more days, anyway. I think the green phenos want a little longer as does the Rishi Kush.

Hi Alatrist!I see'em ,very nice!But the pic needs resizing,maybe that's why mobi couldn't see it right?

Mobi,if I may ask,which parental strain of the Queen mother gives the purple colours?Congo,Reunion or Spanish Sativa?
