lol funny guy, where do you get your info? so your saying every breeder out there lies about their afghani strains? nearly all is a pretty big statement, i know there is a couple but then they are stated that way, alot of afghanis are landrace.

im sorry, you just came out of nowhere and downed a very talented and respected company. esp with that whacky lineage...whats skunk 18.5?

and you simply generalized all afghanis as skunk hybrids, which to my knowledge, the only one is sensi's afghani#1

anyways, indicalover, where can i find info on reefs kandahar???

Reign of Terrror,

highland afghani (RM's) is a cross with highland kandahar ibl x ??? i don't think theres any kandahar beans left at RM seeds, i placed an order for some about a month ago and got the highland afghani instead. Does anyone else have pure kandahar landrace seeds for sale?

Hey ROT, what's up? I just recieved my order from RM and there should have been 12 seeds of the highland Kandahar IBL. The name on the pack only said highland afghani though. So I sent Schipp a pm to see if what I recieved is the IBL. Apparently the Kandahar IBL is one of the parents of the highland afghani F1. I will let you know when I hear back from Schipp.

Go to this thread to see what RM says about this strain.

the same happened to me i recieved my order just over a week ago it had highland afghani written on the pack, highland afi was my second choice, highland kandahar ibl my first. So I sent schipp a pm yesterday and he said they still have some highland kandahar ibl in stock, im hoping the dude who writes on the seed package was just slightly confused with the names. Schipp also said that he thinks they are almost identical anyways......

I am sure both are good, but I like the IBL's for some reason :) Hopefully I got the IBL.

This is a quote from the Seedsman page - seems to be exactly what's required, IMHO. And it seems to settle the Sensi issue too, no? :)

"Afghani No 1 is a traditional landrace strain collected in the mountains of Afghanistan by Sacred Seeds in the 1970s. It was one of the first pure indica true-breeding strains used in worldwide cannabis breeding programmes. It is well known for its dense buds, copious resin production and its excellent properties for hashish production. This strain has been acclimatised to western growing conditions by selectively crossbreeding various Afghani No 1 parents and selecting offspring plants with favourable traits. The popularity of Afghani No 1 can be seen through its use as a genetic building block in many predominately indica strains created or preserved within the Sensi Seed bank gene pool and other seed companies."

Hey Elevator man, I believe that seedsman is incorrect. They do not produce there own seeds, there afghani #1 stock comes from Sensi. Afghani #1 is a hybrid of two very similar afghani cultivars. It is stable, but not landrace. The one thing that is true is that it has no skunk #1 in its make up.

Hey Harold, this is what Schipp hit me back with.


it is the IBL, we don't have the F1 right now, I'll have a word with the packing department...

let me know how those turn out, I haven't grown them myself yet.

ciao



Later guys

Don't Shake hands with them, They use the back of there hand to wipe there ass....Then rinse it off with a bucket of water.... :yoinks:

you are showing your ignorance here JB...they dont use the back of their hand, they use the tips of their fingers on their left hand to wash while pouring water from a small bucket or tin held with the right hand.

the right hand is used to shake hands or eat food with

...never vica-versa

do you wash clean and are fresh all day ...or.... do you wipe, smear and are filthy dirty until the next time you shower?

just about every person east of France and west of Guam or north of Australia and south of Artic circle does it the same way....most of Africa, the Middle East, all of India, Pakistan and many in China etc etc.....I'd guess roughly 80% of the World does it this way, then washes their hands afterwards if given the chocie ..why?... because it is far cleaner and more efficient.

Westerners use paper which only cleans most of the crap off at best and the remainder gets smeared on their skin and then they walk around all day with "it" smeared on their ass and have skid marks on their underpants...so who's cleaner?..smearers or those who wash clean?

the best way is use a hose to wash it clean after (or use a bidet) and then pat dry with paper....or use paper if no water is available then have a quick shower.

"it" is water soluble.

isn't it ironic....we armed and helped the Afghanis in the 80's...Rambo 111 and all that..they were regarded as the underdogs, the proud strong Freedom Fighters....now they are terrorists and we bomb them.

as late as one hundred years ago Muslims invaded the areas where the remainder of Alexander's soldiers settled long ago and they were forced under sword to convert from being animists to Islam or die

one thing is for sure they have been phucked over and around for hundreds of years by invaders ....and it is still happening today...

an excellent book to rtead about Afghanistan is called " an Unexpected Light : travels in Afghanistan" by Jason Elliot.....it's a wonderful book...and should be a must read for Americans, Brits and Aussies who have it drummed into them that Afghanis are filthy dirty scumbags ..when in fact, the average Afghan has far more honor, respect, spirituality and hospitality than most Westerners ..read the book for an understanding all about Afghanistan today

check out the reviews for the books on Amazon.com

chamba run that by me again how do ones fingers leave ones a-hole cleaner then paper ? seems like if anything it would add dirt germs to a allready dirty a-hole, isnt that why doctors wash their hands befor they cut u open because the hands them selfs harbor all kinds of bactira , just my 2 cents ill stick with the paper thing , and i find it hard to understand that china would use this method as they put people on tv . if they forget to flush , or wash their hands after going to bathroom . not racist as i hate all equal cept fellow stoners. peace

use a combination of 90% running or pouring water and 10% finger tips (of your left hand) will leave your rear end ten times cleaner than smearing with paper and then of course wash your hands with running water and soap

I don't, I usually use paper then have a shower.

there are lots of habits, customs or beliefs that seems weird at first.....but when in Rome, do as the Romans do....and this may seem crazy but there are millions out there who worship a naked guy nailed to a cross and there's a whole country that eats fries covered in gallons of mayo...now that's a bit out there isn't it!..but hey, each to his own

My sensi afh #1, from 2002, was probably not a landrace. It was super uniform, so it went through a gene bottle neck, it was super vigour, like a F1, it was a medium smoke at best, and it was very very hermie. I crossed it, seems vigour and mediocre taste were dominant. I nixed the line. Perhaps for a real breeder (im not) or for a better grower.
I dont like dissing Sensi's, but I call em as my growroom sees em.
