Hey Tex!Those are some serious honkers!
Thank you!
As you can see the Oaxacan line is capable of very big spears especially if vegged for a bit longer and given lots of room to grow. And the size definitely comes through in the crosses.
This Highland Mexican line is absolutely unique to Green Mountain Seeds. Oaxacan Gold is the corner stone and backbone to most of Vermontman's breeding work.
Vermontman's strain of Oaxacan Gold came in on a shipment through Marthas Vineyard one Kilo made it into the hands of a good dealer friend of mine in 1979. This new Mexican Sinsemilla ran a hefty unheard of price of $200.00 an ounce. The bag of buds were amazing spears of barely seeded golden goodness, I was out of stash and I could not pass these up. Score!
Upon smoking my first joint I knew this was something amazingly special as it hit me right between the eyes and took me to another totally high, powerfully trippy place that led to incessant breathtaking laughter that went on for hours. We nick named her Skull F***.
I immediately called back my buddy, lets call him Dennis, and asked if he could pick out every seed he could find. He halfheartedly agreed, after all he was a stoner. This was in late winter, with spring right around the corner. These first Oaxaca Gold seeds were started under Florescent lights then moved out to make shift plastic tents to be hardened off. At this point in time the only cannabis available to me that would finish outdoors (20 miles north of Boston) was some no name Indica that was fairly early and not overly potent nor consistent, but made round leafy buds with some purple and would finish at about head height.
So last frost date finally arrived, I went fast to work amending my favorite spot between north and southbound lanes of I 95. With access off a clover leaf and through a culvert that ran a clear clean brook right under the north bound lane of the highway. Great under cover access and a steady supply of fresh water, though to make this passage I had to wade through shin deep, and sometimes cold water. I had to take off my shoes, just role up my pants and just get my feet wet. I switched to trash sneakers after banging my toes on rocks in frigid brook.
So in the middle of a giant patch of Chinese Knot weed, tucked atop a hill open to all day sunlight smack dab center of the interstate I tilled and spread 100 lb sacks of Manure compost and oat straw I hauled slung over my shoulder. In fact it laid me up with back pain for days.
My regular staple Indica got premier spot right up in the front of the newly tilled and amended patch. My new Mexican plants all female about eight Oaxacan which were already a bit taller, looking totally different in structure lined the back two rows of the garden staggered in a diamond pattern. With the light gold color of the oat straw mulch conserving moisture and reflecting up the precious early June sunshine to the newly planted Mexican ladies. Back at home the Oaxacan males took up residence in pots.
Owing most of what I knew about growing cannabis at this time to High Times Magazine on learning sexing and so on I powered on.
Summer went on and these thin leaved Oaxacan beauties towered bigger and bigger. With ample supply of water from the brook and heat from the steamy sunny summer days, and relative privacy from the north and south bound lanes of traffic. Tucked in through all the summers months.
As conditions started changing, with late summer light still beaming strong a baby food jar carrying half opened male flowers of the multiple potted boys from back home were brought in and methodically broken open one by one releasing pollen very carefully onto one each of the earlier tagged single long buds one each of the precious new ladies.
The days grew shorter, the air grew a little more brisk fall started setting in.The swollen calyx's steadily growing along with the density of the giant spears. By the end of Sept, the Indica ladies in the front of the garden were ready to come down.
But the slender leaved totally bushy now monster Oaxacan were thick with pistils in tight clusters that ran up the whole stem, at around 8 to 9 feet tall. Oct 7th came around, to an untrained eye the buds looked like they could be picked. But thank you again to High Times, I said not yet!
Heavy rains from a major tropical systems marching north slammed the patch with winds and heavy rain. The plants tied up with twine to the best of my ability to near by trees and tree branches cut and pushed into the earth like stakes, held them steady through their soaking. Though the massive arms of buds were left arching over under their own weight, and some of the main branches split and had to be mended with layers of twine wrapped around the main trunks to hold and mend themselves back together.
The soaking of the rains left them dripping and drooping, But no mold!
Then out came the sun again and the last of the promise of Fall warmth.
Over the next two weeks is where the magic really happened, the buds swelled like nothing I had ever seen before. Light to medium frosts hit, they seemed not at all negatively affected.
Now the third week in October the landscape all around turned autumn gold and red and the Chinese Knot weed now dropping the last of their yellowing leaves and the greener than green towering Oaxacans were losing their last bit of cover, time to act.
So under the cover of nights darkness and dimmed out glare of rush hour traffics lights end, I coined the phrase, Mid nite farmer. Bag after bag cut and stuffed, and that all to important one separate bag that held the one pollinated heavily seeded branch of each spectacular Oaxacan lady who saw her last moon lit night. While the air filled with the sweet knock out fragrance of fresh Balsam fir forest, fruit and of course victory, a successful harvest.
This is how this unique Oaxacan Gold line started with me on my life journey.
Mold Resistance: Very high {mind your nutes}
Fragrance: Definitely a low odor strain, but sticking your face into a sack full Oaxacan Gold makes you upon first whiff want to just climb into the bag and breath. Slight Balsam fir, hash, incense, slight fruit
Potency: Powerful! Very high. Hits fast! First right between the eyes but in the most pleasurable way. Very motivational but you might forget what you were doing.
terrific for Socializing
but you may forget what you are saying which can lead to gut busting group Laughter.
Cerebral, reflective, great for hikes or gardening or just being in nature, my artist friend says it lends him well to falling into his painting.
Taste: Fast cure buds:
Very smooth lung expansive, have a bit of a pine, floral, very slight fruit very easy on your throat. I liken it to a really fine dry wine, very subtle not like the loudness of most of today's strains in taste but certainly keeps up in potency while remaining impeccably and definitively unique.
Taste: long cure
Like a fine wine, not to sweet, but also not void of sweetness..
Hits the Palate with creamy goodness, extremely reminiscent of classic old school Thai stick, loose Thai or Gold Buddha stick.
Culture: needs a longer veg time to carry massive weighty buds. Sensitive to heavy feeds of organic or synthetic Through selective breeding time has been shortened to end of Sept to first week Oct outdoors.
In shorter more northern or in mountainous regions finishes wonderfully in same time frame but exemplary results are realized when brought in and finished under red heavy LED or HID lights, best under LED.
After many years of culture an anomaly occurred, purple pigments started to show on the advent of switching to LED grow lights.
These traits were selected by using males with red stems and females with purple calyx to bring out a totally purple line with a slightly more blue green foliage and very wonderful purple calyx and buds upon finish. This expression became especially more pronounced when being grown under red heavy Led grow lights and is not tempe

This Oaxacan gold strain now runs in two parallel lines one green one purple just only slightly different from each other but both as wonderfully consistent as clones but certainly each with their own merits.

Thanks V for the history on your Oax. Gold line. Your cloverleaf grow is a hoot. The memories of my own crazy grows back in the 70's brings a smile to my face.
The Mountain Gold male I used to dust 2 Panama dominate strains produced plenty seed. High germination rates and are exhibiting much vigor. Nothing sexed yet but like what I see.
Keep the stories coming. So much fun.

Awesome story Vermont man.
I would have been 14 yrs old in 79 but, I didn't start growing until i was in my very late 20's. I love the fact that you could get away with growing right in the city back in the late 70's. I have to bike, kayak and hike into the bush for miles here in midwest US and that still doesn't guarantee that someone wont find your grow.
Simpler times and wonderful to hear about. I have to believe the fact your were in a large metropolitan area helped getting different strains to smoke and grow back then. Trying out your PS this year outdoors. Thanks again for being here at IC mag.

My Purple Satellite, Zacatecas Tribute, Mountain Gold and 2 Pineapple Banana Bud plants. They were kept inside a little too long and stretched a little, but I got them hardened off on the patio and planted in their final pots last Saturday.

Hello lotto
Its my pleasure sort of my walk back down memory lane to a time I feel held so much more promise in all aspects of the word.
I love to here other people spin off breeding from my genetics.
And I am always keen to see what hey produce. So please keep us posted. So please put up pics.
Cheers!
Hello Hamstring!
First let me say your welcome and
Thank You!
As I just stated it was a much simpler back then and bit more dangerous, but exciting and filled with much more promise.
But yes! stealth was key back then. Hell I planted right in other peoples yards, any place I could tuck in a plant or more.
I think the most ironically cool places I planted a great big patch was right across the street on a ramp onto interstate 93 N right across from the IRS building and just on top of my seven foot burgeoning Oaxacan gold tops was the clear view of the top of the building that handled all Americas income taxes. HAHA!!!
I just wish I had pictures it was quite a site! This was back in 1983. And that year we experienced on of the hottest driest summers so I lugged gallons of water into that sight almost daily. The greatest part of that heatwave was that it ran well into Oct,
where it was in the 80'sF almost to the end of the month, Which was atotal anomily that helped produce some of the reddest/gold sticky potent Oaxacan, in so many years.
But yes this was just 20 minute ride north of Boston.
So yes quite metropolitan.
I used to hit the night club scene in Boston back in the day after mv Fall harvest garnishing a winter jacket, of coarse with many extra large pockets packed with ounces of my home grown Oaxacan Gold stash,
In one instance I was in the alley behind a night club I just supplied a few gents with stash and was in process of smoking just another joint with my buds and a stranger came out back where we were all toking up and he said my bartender friend sent him out back to where we were imbibing and proclaimed I was told I could score herb if I went out back through the back door into the ally way.
I will never forget when that stranger exclaimed. I heard I could score herb if I came out here, he then asked, is it any good!?
We, every one of use just about fell to our knees hanging on to each other, as if that would help! HAHA From this wonderfully potent Mexican, in total incapacitating laughter.
He gladly grabbed a bag and quickly joined in.
So hell yes much more different of world now.
After such a long story!
To answer your query, I was very fortunate to grow up So close to Boston where back in the day multi ton shipments of world famous
cannabis origins from world wide, came in on cargo ships straight into Boston Harbor and Marthas Vineyard.
And when things got to hot in there terms of busts, the crafty smugglers began running shipments into the many islands and ports around Maine.
But yes I was privy to some of the most amazing strains on the planet. Back in the late sixties a friend of mine's older brother came back from service in Vietnam and he had speakers shipped back compliments of the US government, And the only working parts in the speakers was that they were jam packed with Vietnamese gold, My buddy pilfered from his older brother handfuls for all his friends including myself to enjoy.
But hell yes I had available to me some of the best cannabis!
from around the world
Acapulco,Gold, Thai and Buddha sticks a slew of Jamaican Lambsbread or Breath. Columbian Gold and red, Panama red! Man I loved that one it was like reddish little twisted bee hives in a bag. And of course African Black as it as called.
One land mark strain was a Columbian called rainbow, it had gold red and green buds all in one bag, Man that bud would knock you down for hours. I also once scored Columbian red that had fire engine red stems with orange red flowers.
Man I miss those days!
So I just try to grow what reminds me of that time in our history capture it in the quality of my strains and offer it to others to grow and enjoy.
P.S I just had a buddy of mine say, man your Grape is almost to potent and needs to be taken in small doses! HAHA
He has only been smoking for 45 years!

Hello Cactus!
You look like you are off to the races! terrific early start and all the ladies look like they are in the peak of health! Hardened off just about as happy as can be!
It should be one great summer grow with such an early start.
Thank you for sharing and please keep us all posted!
Oh I just wanted to add pics of my two favorite Green Mountain Grape clones #8 and #3 Pictures in 7 month cured Grape buds previously these are being kept veged with led bulb on at night, the other thing I do is keep nitrogen high to help thwart flowering, as clones tend to flower faster that seed plants outdoors, so ready for another season!
Happy gardening!

I’m just hoping that they don’t try to flower too hard at 13:23 hours of sun currently.
Can you just hang a low energy Ledbulb over her to bring it up to 15 hours?

I’m going to try and set something up tomorrow. Usually I have a shade house structure around them but I’m building a nice one this year and won’t have the frame in until this weekend.
