Mikado or Romulan from Federation

Natural

Active member
I can't decide!
I've never smoked mikado, but I love love love love love romulan with a passion, but I've heard the yeilds are lacking compared to the mikado. Yeilds are very important to me because I have to spend the time vegging clones and flowering, all in one cab under a 150 watter.

Things I'm looking for:
a.) Smell, needs to be as low odor as possible
b.) Yeild
c.) Height (Not too big of an issue with either I don't think, I just can't be growing any hazes or anything of the like! Shorter the better, since I'm in a small 150 watt cab)

Things I don't care about:
a.) Flowering time (My other strain takes 60-70 days, so... I'm sure the mikado and romulan won't go longer than that
b.) Taste / flavor (I like to water cure, so taste is lost anyways)
c.) Appearance, this is smoke for me and my buddies, not to sell, so bag appeal means nothing to me :joint:

Do you genetic gurus know which I should choose? :yummy:

Also, how is Hempdepot when being shipped to the US?
Stealthy? Fast?

Thanks alot, you guys are lifesavers! (Maybe not life, but time.) :woohoo:

Mikado is supposed to finish quick, yield good, not that tall, and a nice taste. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Mikado myself.

i wasnt aware federation seeds were still in production.
PM me the URL where you saw them, and ill get back to u with the 411 :chin:

ordering seed from any seed broker is shady buisness (as far as personal security is concerned)
so excercize some common sense and classic caution--
use a safe add when dealing with illegal items through the mail.

Hemp Depot is the one to deal with. Many transactions never a funny story, extended waiting, interception, or problems. They don't do breeders packs but they haven't been in business this long ripping folks off.

I gotta get some of the Mikado too as I have never heard a bad thing about it.
 
My circle of friends have been running the Big Mac off-and-on for like 6 years now....

It's the Mikadox[BC?]BigBud cross.... It kicks ASS.... There is about 2/3's of a table of it in my room getting ready to flower right now actually....!

I, also, would love to get my hands on the pure Mikado!

Mikado is bomb.....period!!! IMO tis much better than Romulan. It fits ALL of your criteria and then some. Although I must say, if you Do in fact choose Mikado....forget about water curing with this one. The smell, and taste of the Mikado is what transitions this strain from excellent to legendary in my circle.
Flowering time never takes over 50 days. 42-45 ALWAYS with the both phenos I had. One pheno -slightly- more sativa than the other -indica dom-to the FULLEST. Trichome production from both are truly jaw dropping. No crap my man, when manicuring the beautiful Mikado....she will for sure give you a headache if you expose yourself to her terpenes for too long. During flowering she doesn't stretch much....so height should never be an issue. During flowering if your odor control isn't upto par... this brawd will out "funk" every other strain you got going. If light penetration is good...she can easily yield between 1-1/2 oz in a 2 gallon pot. After re-reading your criteria...please don't do this sexy lady injustice by water curing.....it would be a sin. Dried and Cured nuggets are as dense as any cannabis snob could ever want. Her hairs turn pink at maturity (visibly pink) not..."Are those pink hairs?"
Finally...the high is a very special treat. Smooth as can be man. Not a one hit wonder by any means if your seasoned. BUT, if you have buddies that are not...be prepared to do alot of reassuring of their manliness. Mikado can for sure put a wanna-be toker in his/her place. Although she is indica, the high is gentle yet stoney. Couchlock if you want to be. But very conversational, functional, blissful, and tranquil if you know when to say when. But you can bet...you WILL be hung over in the morning from the sexy Mikado. I give Mikado a 10/10 as far as indicas go. In EVERY category. I give Federation Co. SERIOUS props for breeding for the PEOPLE!! That CANNOT be said for 90% of breeders today bro. Give her a try, and thank me when you've given yourself and your circle of friends a smoke they will ALWAYS ask for and day dream about when there is no more left.
Stay safe and peaceful.

I did Romulan x Mikado from 1999 seed stock and from 2003? seed stock. The stuff from 2003 sucked pretty bad....and the stuff from the 1999 stock was and is still one of the best strains I have ever smoked. One particular pheno I would do about anything to get my hands back on. She was out of this world in terms of flavor/smell, and potency. SOLID 9 or higher :joint:

Damn Dank,
I hope they didn't throw a bunch of "shit" together to make a buck off their previous work...One company that comes to mind is the present Greenhouse seeds...I would wish that shit on anyone...

Makes you wonder what on earth he grew out for parent plants...Scallywag...............He could have done better just straight up F2ing Shantis work..... :yoinks: :fsu:

They (fed) obviously used different parents for your secong batch of seeds there Dank...Don'tcha think??Do you know why they took the hiatus?I had heard they were out of the seed biz and then poof they are back....???I sure hope that was a good $210.00 I spent.....

Hey Capt. Crip-Just a heads up.

"The ISS is the same as Breeder Steves Sweet Skunk!!In fact exactly the same."

They are NOT the same. The ISS version is a mix of BS's original SS and an unknown male. IMHO-the are very different plants.

I think Federation Seeds did stop for a while but theyre now back. Im not sure about the details but thats what I heard. Im pretty sure Dutchgrown said more Mikado and Romulan would be up at Seedbay in the near future.
