So.....where to begin. I guess this all starts way back in 2014 when I got this crazy jones to grow and smoke, (mostly smoke ), some Dr Grinspoon/Quaze Haze but for whatever reasons, (probably financial), I never got around to getting some seeds or going to the 'Dam to just smoke some. Now from there we need to fast forward to about a year ago when that urge to grow again after a 6 year layoff was just too great to ignore, (probably in no part due to smoking waaay too much U.S. based hybrid strains), so I slapped a grow together and tried to get back to a farmer's life. I had some seeds leftover from back in the day but a lot of them never sprouted. So I said to my self, "Hey genius, why don't you get some fresh seeds and finally grow some Grinspoon? No excuses this time!". But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum, it seems Grinspoon/Quaze is just about impossible to find in the States atm. Barney's Farm doesn't have any, the usual seedbanks don't have it, (I did find it at 2 well known seedbanks, one said they had it but admitted not having any until after I paid and the other one I didn't pull the trigger on because I didn't trust them after reading some reviews and for the way they went about the sale). Even the US seedbanks I do know don't carry it or don't have any. I thought I was shit outta luck but if one searches the Intertoobs for Grinspoon/Quaze long enough you will eventually come across the Eye of Providence's website, (http://eyeofprovidenceseeds.com/), and on it the pretty wild Quaze crosses they've developed. So instantly I tried to buy some seeds from them but things aren't that simple for EoP at the moment. So to make a long story short, after some back and forth and some patience and persitence on my part, the good souls at EoP gifted some of their seeds to me including some femmed Quaze seeds which I will be eternally grateful for.
Now the one thing I did agree upon was that if I grow any of their strains I have to keep a record or journal of the grow and with the blessing of EoP I have decided to do it here for some people's interest and amusement. I've also decided to do it at ICMag because the owner/principal breeder is an active member here, (@Passenger101), and I urge anyone with questions about the genetics, origins and lineage of the strains used for this demo to contact him as I am in no way as knowledgable and invested in these strains as he is. And just to clarify that while I am friendly with Passenger101 I am not an employee, family member or whatever and any kind of compensation I receive is Passenger101's appreciation, (if I don't eff this grow up too bad I guess ), the seeds and hopefully some classic smoke. Basically I'm just a grower in a "right place at the right time" type situation.
This journal is also a record for EoP to see how their gear will perform in the hands of a typical home grower and will probably be filled with transcribed notes and photo dumps for the most part. This is the busy time of the year for me at work so I can't say I will be constantly posting or be online here all the time. In other words I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have just don't expect an immediate answer. Also I am not a "Sativa Whisperer" so please feel free to post any coments, opinions, critiques or info you may have that might be of interest to everyone following. Shit, when it comes to actual sativa growing experience I've only grown SSH, Super Lemon Haze and had a 12+ week haze heavy Tangerine Dream that produced late foxtails and copious amounts of weed so I could always use a little help. I mean I love smoking sativas but growing them can be challenging, (that's a nice way of saying PITA ).
So everything is in motion and I'll be back soon with some info about the strains that I'm going to try along with some nute, environmental and lighting info too so let's close it out with a cover of that Chamber's Brother classic. Time has come today indeed my friends!
