I know I said never again:),let this one do her thing, and,next run I keep a seed
Change of plans:biggrin:
Bubba Kush seems to be one of those strains that thrive in our climate.And I'm buzzing nicely since yesterday.....sudden change of strain, another high
And a very enjoyable smoke
Exchanging ,a bud, a smoke will take you a long way......as long as you sit back and listen and listen and listen

I think this time round he nailed it.Would be interested what you've heard/seen.The only info I have to share for now, a very productive plant, and an economical(electricity bill) sound choice? when under a bulb/led

I just know it's a good yielding, high resin producing, easy to grow plant that has a nice effect to it. What I've mostly read about it is over on another forum, I'm sure if you start looking around (google search) you'll find a lot of threads to do with Bubba Kush. A few people over on the other forum has grown it or is growing it now so plenty of information out there I dare say :)


Personally I have a Pre 98' Bubba Kush/PCK x Old Timers Haze (green light male) that I haven't grown out yet but I'm keen to grow it in the future :)

Show you, if you want, how to extract pure crystals to accompany the smoke
It takes 5 sec the process, and,crystals for every occasion
:)
I'm enjoying this BK to much

Hey red congratulations my man..:tiphat:
your thread on greek strains exposing is so intresting..
Old school local genetics are a treasure in many ways..
First of all using local varieties of plant species is what exactly fit to our health.
There is also a huge growing benefit of the acclimatized local varieties.
the adaptability of these genetics to the rapidly expanding climate changes is what we must look for as a priority imho.
in our days a huge number of plant and animal species threatened of totaly dissapearing and to be more specific, many present-day cannabis cultivars became susceptible to pathogens and pests.

The breeding goals of the last decades, the insane demands of the market and the adoption of asexual reproduction for commercial drug production are responsible for this tragedy.
So preservation of our varieties is not only about the superiority of these genetics but much more about the survival of the species and healthier foods and medicines,especially for the locals.

The great majority of drug Cannabis cultivars are now completely domesticated, and thus are entirely dependent on humans for their survival.
So you must give yourself a huge credit for the above mentioned..
as for your highland strain,i can see similarities between her and my kalamata red especially in the plant structure..
i'm also impatient to read a smoke report of this beautifull highland..:biggrin:
keep exposing them red..i'm really fascinated by this thread.:tiphat:

I am starting to believe that the epicentre of all pure greek landrace sativas ,was "Kalamata Red" region.Both historically, and,my travels around the region.Have too many good friends there for years, plus historical interests that never seem to fade away
All this surrounded by the most beautiful, and,diverse scenery

Yes,Highland Red feels like that strain evolved in much taller "surrounding" vegetation.And last year's bud where seeds came from, had similarities, when it came to the smoke report, as I remember when shared with you.
You don't know how much relieved I feel now.All your excellent work!
Thank you D.
Let me then try to get some seeds
:)

Because of historical events, must have had the Asian influence, which geographically must,is? somewhere in upper half of Greece's two dimensional map.As rare I'll have a look :)
Isn't nice we started with little stores at the feet of the Parthenon?

Greece is very history rich so all this information you share + others input is all like a big story book for me. The more I learn the more I can share :)


Those Spartans knew what they had available to them was special. From what you say and have said about the Kalamata Red country plus now what Delicorganic has added, it seems very much like historical evidence of cannabis points towards that place of origin. What is the name of the region again that the highland sativa came from?


@Delicorganic
Do you know where your Kalamata Red strain came from region wise? I've quickly skimmed over your Kalamata thread so I don't know If I missed it in there or not :)

I've read up a little bit and was the name of that region Peloponnesus or Peloponnese?



The Persians invaded from Turkey so I like said in an earlier comment there very might well be some cross over of indica hashish varieties in northen/north eastern Greece or what ever they could bring from the Persian Empire, which was very very large. Since the Persians were unable to conquer Greece they still may have left behind crops of what ever their army ate or used for medicine?


Food for thought :)

What if Alexander the Great took some kalamata red seeds with, crossed them with other pure landraces, from Afgan region,India, in a bar in Thailand,and those genetics came back to Greece? still point of origin to be called a greek landrace?
Mind opening that BK crystal

"Scientists at the University of Sydney believe they have found a fourth species of cannabis. The finding took place in 201 (sic), when a group of people were hiking in the Blue Mountains of Australia and discovered a single plant that resembled cannabis. The shrub was later donated to a research laboratory at the University of Sydney where a series of tests were conducted on the plant – proving that it was indeed cannabis. “When we first received the plant we were very skeptical about its relation to cannabis. It has somewhat similar growth structure, but the leaves look nothing like cannabis leaves,” according to the research

The test results show that the species is resistant to freezing temperatures and the plant grows more like a shrub, without the archetypal candelabra shape of most cannabis strains. Countless cannabis breeders the world over have offered to pay upwards of $2,000 per seed, but Pool stated “The only problem is that we don’t have any seeds, we only have one plant,” adding, “We’ve exhausted our funding trying to find another like it.”
