yes, HSO is a Spanish company, Dinafem help them to pruduce their seeds I think.
Just checked out the HSO GC offering... hummm
One of California's most famous cash crops has now become a global icon.
HSO is proud to introduce this elite selection, branded with the classic Skunk#1 x a pure isolated Afghani.
About 20 years ago, that was the definition of "Super Skunk" - Skunk #1 x Afghani, as sold by Sensi Seed Bank.
Cali Connection GC was GREAT. I guess the seed companies don't have any obligation to coordinate their strain names. Can't help but be curious if CC GC has a connection to HSO GC.
my HSO GC plants have crazy wide leafs! similar looking plants like Sensi's Super Skunk back in 2007! very promising btw
I successfully harvested one HSO green crack. It produces very well. Very solid buds that ended up with a bit of tiny bit of mould.
Not sure why it's called green crack? For me it is relaxing and mostly indica type high. Not really couchlock though, you can function and get things done if you need to. I'd call it a balanced high.
I took samples at 6,7,8,9,10 and even 11 weeks and the best were at 9-10 weeks from seed. The earlier harvested samples weren't any more of a racy high.
I grew this with HSO's OG Kush, which to me had a better high but only produced about 1/3 rd as much as the green crack.
I have no access to elite cuttings so I have no idea whether these are a good representation or not. Both the HSO varieties were quite good pot, not sure yet if they're keeper quality but will keep them a while at least.
Its still hard for me to grasp the concept that this strain is motivational, having skunk #1 lineage with a afghani, Alot of peeps say its a clear headed motivational high, but you get the odd person saying it put them their ass
I find it depends a lot on what your job focus is.
I would love to see a poll at some tech conference, what helps you get work done, what helps you relax when you have over-caffeinated.
One person's over-caffeination-recovery Cannabis might be another person's get motivated to do circuit board layout but don't tell my boss Cannabis.
Also I think Cannabis hits men and women differently.
It also hits different ages differently.
from the reports i have seen so far.. tho i need to get some of the HSO beans myself and test them.. HSO GC isnt a lot like the REAL GC. You said you took her out to day 77? GC would be very purple by that flowering time have you seen any purple colors?? here are some pics of GC clone taking that for out and no she wasnt subjected to cold temps or stress causing her to go purple. GC always goes purple under the leaves on the tops starting around day 45-50 then drives deeper into the buds. Also the tips of each calyx starts to purple up on the tops. Yes cooler temps increase the speed at which this happens. But no matter what is always has some color.. well for me that is.
If you are missing the racy type of high then it might be a trait that is being lost when they are making the seeds.. I have no clue how they are breeding them. Or you just dont experience that effect from it.. every one is different... That Racy UP high is the greatest thing about GC and is always best by Day 52-55 anything longer then that it begins to drop down and be more heavy indica feeling but still not anything couchlock.
UGH! im just gonna have to get some and test them for myself
GC dark purple dry Day 78 harvest

Will update this thread when i get my HSO beans for the test.

Completely agree.
For me pure indica in small doses gets me motivated LOLS and pure sativa makes me completely paranoid.
I guess it all comes down to how your body is wired (physiology) certain strains will have different affects on people, also depends on what people ingest from food, to alcohol and various other medicinal herbal supplements all play a role.
Small doses of Hash bomb (from bomb seeds) which is a pain killing strain gets me going all day, i get lost in work and dont want to stop until the pain in my right side comes back on.
Peace, happy growing.
Indicas turns CoCoSativas to CoCoZombie... totally sleepy off the narco high i get... yessir... and i dont laugh much kinda lame for me but going to give them another shot in the form of hybrids leaning their way
