Hello @sativanese yes, grandfunk, mindblower, df13haze, blue sting, big south pump. it depends on pheno. grandfunk and mindblower are much denser when grown from cut.

this is grandfunk from cut. you can see it can make solid colas, quite dense.

Damn the cuts really beef it out!
Is there any reasoning why cuts produce
This variation?

Eventually I'll get some Maha genetics, just gotta collect more sheckles!

it is sativa thing. DF13haze, Blue Sting or BSP are dense when flowering from seed. but the more sativa in it the more it acts like that.. and grandfunk contains a lot of sativa. you can achieve it from seed too, but you have to give it extensive veg, which means you will get monster trees.. with cut you reduce stretch(that reduction helps with denser flowers) and flowering time.

it is legit for average grower of sativas like me.

of course there are indoors sativas experts, I saw pure hazes in coco which were dready dense, surprisingly, but I didnt smoke it. it can look good in pic, another question is how it smokes when mineral ferts are used...

I think that these MAHAKALA Highbreds are very easy to grow indoors, compared to pure sativas.

growing those sour#12hazes, and because it is quite loud in veg, I can distinguish some phenos already.

there are "kushy" phenos which smells like peyote purple x posi haze. hashy incense. I can smell it. there are haze phenos, they smell very herbal and phenos between.. once they developed root ball, they started to grow really quick, I popped them at 25th of October and will flip it at 25th of November. so quick it is...

it is like skunkhaze or NLhaze, but very different, yes sour diesel contains some NL and skunk in it, so in this it is similar, but haze used is not that colombian dom, but heavy thai dom and that should make quite difference. dont have any illusion at "kushy" phenos, that it would be somewhat close to real haze. but those between and haze phenos can be interesting. I grow it mainly for hash though. because I loved sour#12 hash... so tasty! and keeps me high quite long time for sour diesel hybrid. because there is casey jones mixed in, it is more uplifting and less heavy/stony than real ECSD.
 
@MAHA KALA
So if I'm understanding correctly it's a good/long maturation in veg or clone it will express more dense larger flower?

I've only really done pure sativa so far E.g Thai's and Indian which really did pack on obviously after what feels like a half a year.

(Did to a NHxz99 from Wally which was awesome product, had 1 pheno that was on the difficult side on terms of controlling it, I swear it was easier to control a Thai).

Currently doing an NL5hz from Swami. It's too early to critique but i had some herm, and the females don't really display any resin and I'd have a guess they should be ready in a month? But yeah cant say I'm impressed!

all this haze stuff looks exciting but there's only so much time and space.
My next project should be MmBx3

BTW, your photography is very impressive to me. Is it by a proper camera or just a mobile phone?

yes, but I was talking about MAHAKALA hybrids @sativanese , mindblower is like 25% paki hashplant and grandfunk is like 80 - 85 % tropical sativa hybrid.

and I was talking about density.

pure sativa can yield pretty good. there is no reason, I mean environmental reason, for pure tropical cultivar to have really dense flowers, like my Blue Sting for example, Blue Sting can have problems with mold in tropics... sativas are not that dense.

if you grow pure sativa and you are satisfied with it. you should focus on MAHAKALA Acid Beauty or NC#4Haze(still in testing though). it can yield pretty good, when it is grown big enough.

mindblower, grandfunk etc. are part of project, where its principle is based in simple crossing of Thai blood haze male and special and preciously selected mothers of heirlooms which contains certain portion of thai, but also they contain indica, so it is more manageable indoors, and even have commercial qualities, like dense buds colas - only some phenos.

Blue Sting - is from side project, using vietnamese/colombian/some hashplant mix males. into same heirlooms cuts. it is more commercial than first project. due to NLhaze in it. it is also less energetic and clear. more relaxing. but surprisingly some reports trippy aspects. probably due to strong influence of black vietnamese in some phenos.

now Acid beauty is from project, where elite haze cuts, bandaid haze#7, vintage nevilles haze cut - both cuts I got from @Yo Sammy known haze lover and collector of cuts with remarkable qualities - RESPECT, Super Laos x Mango Haze cut and acid haze cut were hit with xoai mango green pheno of Black Vietnamese male.

MAHAKALA can breed different types for different purposes, different grow styles and different environments.

here is thread about blue sting.

people reacts different. one mindblower grower told me it is too clear for him. too clear high. yeah it can be digitally clear despite the content of indica. another one, member @g0dzilla told me, it is one of the best haze ride he had.. it depends on pheno and person.

one grandfunk grower told me it was mystical journey for him, I think I quoted him in this thread, another one member @numide told me it is too narcotic for him. it depends pheno and person. I can only guess if it was too narcotic because of too trainwreck dominantion? dont know. most reports it as electric ride though.

thank you. it is camera which is worse than cameras in modern phones LOL you would laugh at it. I dont change it though to keep same style. it is about light anyway. you feel light aesthetically, you can expose object pretty good with any device..

when I think about it, it is from 2007 or so and stupid cheap camera hehehehe. it is pretty expired I think. LOL
 
@MAHA KALA Thank you for a detailed reply.
Obviously now looking back through the threads I'd say Acid beauty,
is obviously called beauty due to the structure in early flower my eyes.
So eventually I'll have to sort that one out.

@g0dzilla Looks insane at the later ends of production.
Great to hear about this!

I still love Mindblower. She's still one of my favorite smokes. She's also a dream to grow, super resilient and takes whatever you throw at her.

Extremely grateful to hold that plant
hey bro! how long do you keep her, 3 years already?

btw. I am slowly planning some mindblower outcrosses, I just need time to select fuel pheno male...

thinking about glue/diesel chocolate pheno as mother. sour haze could be good adept for mother too. DF13 cut too. let see what future brings.

Awesome idea. It looks like I popped the seed in jan 2022, so almost 3 years! You know how much I love her hybrids myself , I think I'm going to throw down another reversal of her in a few weeks 📈📈📈. Probably knock up key lime pie, og mango and peach panther at the very least. On the sour haze combination, I got great feedback on the Bloomington headband clone x Mindblower. A couple of people grew it and loved it.

Glitterbomb x Mindblower I'm getting ready to trim.

wow man, you are rocking it. with your mindblower cut. great to hear other people out there can get half of mindblower in their lives at least hehehehe.

I remember there were only 2 headbands, chem91 x NLskunk from east coast and west coast headband, something like og kush x diesel. then Loompa´s Headband appeared which is some sort of ogk probably. all these headbands are more indica than ECSD or Casey Jones. you know casey jones, no? casey jones cut was selected by PERIPHERY.

Bloomington one will be also kind of kush/diesel thing, I guess.

one guy in Canada made mindblower x og diablo. and member @Lester Beans created mindblower x sour bubble, he said it is great..

when you guys are using mindblower this way, I know it is special, ought to say that mindblower was surprise, I didnt expect that. especially hazy phenos with metallic fuel cocoa terps...

///

funny thing is that when I look at some plants of sour#12haze, I see something like headband. almost LOL heehhehee. in fact they don't look or smell like haze at all for now. when I open it I smell sour kushy smell for sure. when I touch leaf the smell stays at fingers for a while...

I do remember that . This Bloomington hb is supposed to be pretty old but I just got it recently so I can't confirm any of that. Nonetheless it does remind me of a sour /og hybrid where as loompas is very OG kush like. I have them both and enjoy them .

I never had a chance to sample that cut of Casey Jones only the one from Joe shmoe and it was pretty racy and panic inducing at times lol.

Mindblower adds crazy vigor to most things I combine it with. Her side branching is impeccable and it's certainly a haze hybrid that crushes indoors (and outside so I'm told). It may slightly increase flower times but in general plants are still finishing really fast ~under 11 weeks. She's my favorite pollen donor and I think this is probably the 6th or 7th time I've used her in that manner. I wish I can give credit to this grower but it was a friend of friend so I don't know who they are. Pic is Bloomington headband x mindblower some where in the pnw .
