Florida Growers Thread; Reloaded

I used to have an inline fan hooked up to the exhaust on a portable ac, and then have that ducted into a carbon filter. Worked really well.

So was the inline causing a draw on the AC unit? I figured if that happened, the AC unit would basically stop working since the air would be passing over it too quickly to be cooled. Maybe you could give me a little more info if not? Would love to add one, but need to have it not emit smell. It seems the best bet would be getting a split unit, one of the ones that you run the lines outside for the freon to a compressor or something, but not ducting.

I have never heard of indialanticmarty. The internet is full of liars though so most likely he is full of shit. Thats my best guess.

he's online name was real.tri.tip ... and indeed there's so much shit out there that the lil bit of truth , simply dont matter ,

he swears he found the tk and has been growing tk and pk seeds in costa.rica since he got out of trouble in Fl ..

i did tried his tk in Fl a while back.. so thats why i ask ... probably that cornbread guy knows

this where his posts when he camed online to " clear things up " lol

wow, all the funny stories, I like the one about triangle getting its name from the 3 cities in fl. LOL ,,, Id like to clear the air on this strain for anyone who really wants to know the truth, i wasnt even going to chime in but, since there are so many mixed made up stories about it, I had to put this out there. the florida triangle, was started by me and a couple of close friends back in the mid to late 90's, its mother originally came from a cutting from the emerald triangle valley in northern cali, hence the name triangle. the original was called Emerald Triangle , there was a big room in south fl that had a male of unknown origin in it along with a bunch of the emerald triangle's going , the male went too long before it was spotted and it seeded the whole room out, that bud was sold all over fl. but I actually saved a bunch of seeds from it knowing it was special. closer to the late 90,s i started a few of the seeds. only one was a real keeper, and I kept the name as Triangle for short. over the years it was passed on to a handfull of people,who also passed it along,, many of them have gotten in trouble along with my self at one point, fl is not the best place to be doing this for long. needless to say it still exist in select groups of people. but not many, it was never good as a breeding strain for some reason as I had tried several times to create seeds from it, as far as it being called a kush or an og, I dont know where that came from, people like to make up stories obviously, it wasnt from an ex military guy who brought it back from pakistan ect. the story is exactly how i told it. the seed company rare dankness claims to have a triangle kush in their genetics that looks similar, and who knows maybe someone brought it out there somehow, but I doubt it is the same line, keep in mind the original mother came from northern cali, near humbolt,trinity,or mendencino county somewhere. so chances are there are others that look similar, friends of mine who now live in cali swear they still have not yet seen anything out there quite as unique, even though i find that hard to believe. one thing is for sure, the Triangle that I started was one of the best strains Ive ever seen in 40+ years. and it was a one in a thousand seed that started it all. it is still found around central fl, orlando, new symrna areas. but its not as abundant as it once was as the main growers that where doing it have all been caught. still a few peeps though that have it. and they are lucky . as far as lineage. it grows more like a sativa dominant hybrid , lanky tall, thin branches unless trained but finishes up by 56 - 60 days, not sure if its a kush, even though people call it that since kush strains fetch more money and all the rappers made kush a hot topic. that is the round about story of the Triangle ( Emerald Triangle ) florida strain. im pretty sure if it was properly breed out in cali or colorado it would be one of the talked about varieties out there. hands down , one of the best. and Im glad I was part of it all

yeah, I dont expect everyone to have to believe me and the story, but thats the truth about it, I know it was my first post, but when I was doing my thing, i woulnd never in a million years be posting things online while living in fl regarding growing. call it paranoid, or maybe just smart. my down fall in the long run was a jealous person who knew about me because of a talkative friend of mine. to be more specific about the cut from cali, it was actually closer to the early 90's when it was brought back from cali. it was called -THE EMERALD TRIANGLE , it was grown in south florida for a couple of years before the seeding happend, I was brought on a trip to amsterdam with some heavy guys who i worked for back then, it was a paid trip to mule back some seeds for them. we went to the cannabis cup , the year was 94 I beleive. we brought back (Nl5xhaze, super skunk,big bud, ak47, early pearl, hawaiian snow, and hash plant ) these where all the seeds that where started as test runs, and mixed into a room of Emerald Triangle. a 12 light room, the guys back then used a fromula that was brought back from the west coast. 12 lights , all 1000 watt verical with china hat cone shaped hoods. usually in a large 2 car garage, and once the plants started they would make a hand made trellis that would not allow them back in the room anymore, the lights where controlled by ropes and tied to marina kleets near the door way to control the height of them. they used drip lines and 1 gallon pots, drills holes in the floor for the water to drain out after watering. 300 plants per 12 lights. this set up believe it or not would produce on average 24-28 lbs per set up. I witnessed a few over 30 even, NL5xhaze did 32 once. which proves the hydro companies wrong about the vertical lighting with those older hoods being ineficient. anyway, that is the reason a male was hard to get to once it was going in one of those rooms. like i said in my previous post, im not sure what the male was. it was amongst a few new ones. from amsterdam. that batch of emerald triangle wasnt completely seeded but there was enough to add a few seeds to ever bud. the seed that I started in the late 90's ended up getting passed around amognst surfers first, then eventually I heard it was big in the wakeboarding scene , I didnt like the idea at first of it getting out to a whole lot of people, but eventually I realized it was ok to be able to keep it around should anything happen to me or my crew at the time. we never refered to it as anything other than - triangle or the tri , not sure if there is another one called triangle kush or not, since there was so many seeds there is a good chance that someone else got lucky like me, I just know that the triangle that went all around orlando and valusia county and brevard county was from the one i started. I served my time, and Ill never mess with growing in fl again untill the laws change, thats the only reason Im even on here, plus reading some of the crazy stories from people who claim they know all about the origins , just made me laugh to myself. what ever the original cut from cali was, it was very good, and may still be around, hawever it was not nearly as good as the triangle that i started from seed years ago. not trying to brag, i got lucky and was in the right spot at the right time. as far as the current west coast OG's and any relations, I have heard some of the Og's are very similar in ways to the triangle but not quite as dank, the one varieties I recently heard was the closest to it was the real Girl Scout cookies, one of my buddies who made the move to LA prior to me getting in trouble here, has mentioned that several times now, he claims Girl Scout Cookies is like a sister to the fl triangle. I cant vouch for it yet as I have not been out there recently. the fl triangle does take 56-60 days when done right, in a cooler room , I did mine on flood tables with 600 watt lights, I topped it a couple of times while vegging, I did 16 per light and i averaged 1.5 lbs per light every time. but it took years to get to that average. I also had East Coast Sour D and a hash plant and several others that did not even compare, as far as the white, I have a good idea of where that came from, but im not one to name drop. pretty sure it was a bag seed from someone here in fl, maybe a triangle seed, but not sure. I do know a couple of people moved to colorado who may have had both strains , and there is a good chance they brought it out there with them. hope that answers more of your questions. sorry i cant be exact about what the male was or the lineage of the Emerald Triangle, but I cant make stuff up like others do, this is how it all happend, back in the early 90's the crew was ll about making money and no concerned with knowing all baout the genetics, it was either good or bad, yeilding or not yeilding. I watched many great varienties get killed back then because the first run wasnt a big producer. was all about the cash to those cash croppers, needless to say they have all been busted at some point over the years

these are a couple of photos that I found when I googled florida triangle , these represent what I had completly by looks at least, most likely they are it. like i said, im not sure where the kush name got attached to it but people like to add stuff at times, as there is many myths and legends around certain strains in history, the first kush i ever saw was the Hindu Kush brought back from Amsterdam in the early 90,s from the original seed bank, the original seed bank was owned I beleive by a guy named neville who was busted and went on the run before the seed company got sold and changed into the Sensi seed bank . there where not many strains that used the word kush in them back then. I actually started a seed that I called the Cosmic Kush around 96-97 , it stuck around till about 03-04 ish , but it was just a good bag seed and i thru the name on it just to appeal to people , never had any history attached to it. I also had a few hash plants back then that where to this day some of the best id ever seen, when I first got started the word Krippy or krypto was the main word that surfers in south and central fl refered to for just about any good strain, nobody was really concerend about the origin, there was mids and the krip. or swag dirt weed. as years went on people started to get more interested in the origins, at least among the surfer community , one of the dankest varieties back then was know as the real Krip , but was really G13xafgani , there was many stories of the boys from central fl back then who started that one. and thats when the prices really climbed up too. ,,, as far as the real origins about the original Emerald Triangle. Im really cant say what it came from or I would be lieing. it resembled what is now considerd the OG kush, even though I know people have gotten carried away with throwing the OG title on many strains now, who really knows the real story behind that one, Ive heard it was - Original Gansta and also Ocean Grown from LA area, Im sure thats another debate all together.. the story about the chemdog line sounds about right, back then the greatfull dead concerts where notorious for people passing great weed and hash among other things around from town to town , I went to check out the scene myself a couple of times , even though i didnt care for the music. the East Coast sour d I had was really nice, and it was a true cutting of it. but still paled in comparison to the triangle. certain people only wanted the triangle and would pass most other varieties down all together. ironically what got me busted was when a certain scum bag who heard I had the triangle wanted some cuttings, I did not even know this guy , but he asked a so called friend of mine for some cuttings, and I was pissed that this guy even assumed I could get him some much less that i had it. after denying the guy anything, thru my so called friend , the guy went to cali and sent himself a couple cutting back in the mail , not sure of what, but he got caught and used my name and life story to get himself out of prison time. ( he just passed away from an overdose , karmas a bitch ) . my lesson from all that was never trust more people than needed. ever. if they are your best friend or what ever. if they are not part of your deal, they dont need to know. lesson learned. I just look fowards to the day that people of fl wake up and allow medical at least to be allowed. too bad the pill compaines and prisons, fed forfetures trumps the law for now. one day soon. I hope

dank frank,, I doubt the male was the Nl5xhaze , as that ended up being a female that stuck around fro a while, it was in itself a real good but super tall long flowering variety, and a super heavy one, biggest yields ive ever witnessed. 6-7 foot plants off the ground touching the lights , i wish i could be more accurate for you as to what it all came from. but I have no reason to stretch the truth or make up things about it to make sound better. those photos i posted are for sure a true look of how the TRIANGLE grows, lots of tight nugs with big pistols, mostly red and ripe by day 56-60, could it go longer, maybe, in wamrer rooms. but it liked temps around 72-75, with cool nights, it would turn many colors in the end , purple leaves with deep red hues in them. hope that helps clarify it more.

you guys can call BS all you want, I never said the OG came from Fl or from my triangle , the truth of the matter is, the lineage of the fl triangle came from a northern cali strain called the Emerald Triangle, so chances are there was others out there that made its way to southern cali. not sure what the true origins where back then. only telling how the triangle got passed around and started in central fl. I doubt it had anything to do with the OG lines in cali now, but could have a distant relation to it from the emerald triangle valley of some sort. I have nothing ot gain by telling my story, as im not saying my true name or others involved. I just wanted to shed light on what truely happend. , not refering to any other strain but the true - fl triangle. not the white or the pk or the tk, not sure where those names stemmed from. I do know over the years there where a few new strains introduced in rooms with the triangle that turned hermi. but none of the seeds that came from those mistakes ever amounted to much, the triangle always made big round seeds in those intances but the offsping never matched the original. maybe there is another triangle type strain in fl. related. but the name was started because of the original origin from northern cali .

yes I have smoked it (OG) but never grew it, I did see it was similar, but not quite as hard hitting, there is a good chance it came from northern cali back then Im sure as so many other great varieties where pioneered up there , I cant vouch for its history ive only heard stories, and people I used to sell to in fl now live in cali and love the OG but still claim they liked the fl Triangle more, when I look at seed companies world wide, it seems there are over 100 + strains now that carry the OG name on them. so Im sure there are many stories attached to that. I never laid claims to know exactly how the og or anything else was created or where from either. I only chimed into this post to tell the story about the Fl Triangle. it got into alot of peoles hands over the years, I cant say it didnt make it elswhere as Im sure it did, and Im not sure about the history of the white either, I just know the Fl triangle that I started was created around 97-98 and no sooner than that. anything that was around before that wearing the triangle name was not the same. the Emerald Triangle was the first strain in fl among the surf community to use the name triangle that was in the early 90's no sooner, the seed I started from that ,was like i said in 97-98, which went on to become the popular Triangle that im sure this post is refering to.

What I was curious about was that he calls it the Triangle Tip, but O/G calls it Triangle TRIP (adding the R in Trip). I was wondering if they were the same or not.

they totally unrelated... but closer than they think.. much like 6 degrees of separation ..

the triangle tip ment that the guy was at the top of the triangle (as stupid as that sounds)

while triangle trip ,,is grownouts cross of tk and dmt

lol well i got TT1 cut. thats out of Grow Outs gear.

Don't know what is worse.....this "busting a sag" shit kills me. See young men walking around (not limited to the project side of town mind you) and struggling to talk on the cell phone and smoke a cigarette while constantly having to pull up the pants with one hand. Yah, that makes a lot of sense and really looks cool

Buckets.....hope them babies pull thru for you. One of the most frustrating things I have encountered whilst growing. Everything jam up w/ cloning one minute...then it went to shit. Back on track for myself right now I hope. One issue I beleive I had was my mom's were not in the best of health b4 taking cuttings.

coba,we are buds....BUT if i see those skinny jeans ill be ready to kick some ass, those are the absolute gayest thing going right now...I CANT FUCKIN STAND kids people wearing those...and all the gays,and.happy.people take it ez, yes some.still use gay,for other terms also still...shoot me..

Well shit remind me not to wear my paint on jeans or leotards if we ever have a meetup.

 

[gh0st9]

Do any of your Fla growers know what the Haze that goes to NYC is? I know in NYC that got that fire haze a few different phenos of it, but more or less you can tell its all the same, on more then one occasion I have asked about it in NYC and the responses I get from the guys is, Oh thats that Florida Haze, it comes from Florida and is grown in the swamp, I for sure think the first part is ture, I do think it comes from Fla, but is it really swamp weed? but more impotently what strain is it? anyone know?

I have herd a few things, some people say it is Colombian, some say it is a NL5x with something else, what ever it is, the stuff is really good.

Miami blacks or black haze. Grown by Hispanics mostly Cubans in the so flo area. Nah highly doubt that they were growing that in the swamps, good candidate, but the Hispanic commercial dudes were always indoor typa cats-bust out whole houses and ship it north. High yielding bud forsure, never ran it. What was probably the blacks cut I got from my rican buddy down south I trashed... It's a long ass flowering strain and very low feeder. I would wager it's not Colombian landrace, more than likely it's an old Dutch cross nlxhaze or something of the like. Few members on ic claim to hold her and their claims look pretty damn valid

 

[P-NUT]

Coba I haven't laughed so hard in a while. You took me back to 6th grade I remember calling my now gay cousin a fag for tight rolling his jeans lol.
Hey sonofsour bodhi has the black haze cut not sure what all he crosses it to but i got a couple packs of it crossed with big sur holy weed in my fridge.

Bugs lookin good I'd smoke all of that. Looks very similar to my own latest harvest, I tried a different dry method. Not as happy with the results, as the hygrometer is reading 57% in the jar, too low for my liking. We'll see how it burns and what the humidity gets up to, hopefully 62%.

 

[Hugh Midity]

True story aspenou. Im really bad about stuff getting old to me, even ole bubba. The tt1 is the 1st thing ive found that i never built a tolerance to, has a heavyweight punch to it, smells like skunks having angry make up sex in ur pocket, tastes absolutely spectacular to the last hit and solid bag appeal. And again if u can figure her out ive gotten her to yield over twice what i average on her. Just not positive how yet lol. But yes maam i meant what i said. Grownout created something special there

Ghost if ur rocking all that i so will not be dissapointed. Ur fashion sense seems incredible lol
