Preserving the Oldtimes

[Hombre del mont]

I had old times going for many years and she was ready in 7 weeks!. It was an incredible Sativa smoke...you'd never had known it was only 7 weeks! Friends back in the UK still talk about the days when I was growing her and lament her passing.

I'd love to grow her again, but outside in the Spanish sun.

I had old times gong for many years and she was ready in 7 weeks!. It was an incredible Sativa smoke

I can't wait to smoke them I am in need of a uppy sativa.

I can remember Oldtimer1 saying with Oldtimes it was important to take her on the earlier side to retain the sativa high.

I just popped in to look on them and they look ready so tomorrow it is

The Smile x Diesel needs another week really but she'll be joining the Oldtimes too for the chop.

Really i'd like to reveg them, there's plenty of larf to allow for it despite flowering and setting some seed. I got a feeling they will be nicely different, they smell like it. We'll see

The Oldtimes really handles the heat well, nice tight nugs for a sativa, blueberry bud look to them but with no blueberry smells to them at all.

I'd love to grow her again, but outside in the Spanish sun.

They would do really well in Spain

The fresh nutty anise smelling one and the one that smells of banana with rank banana peel fading into rubber has me the most excited

I'm halfway through chopping the 4 plants and will resume again this morning.

I thought i'd get all 4 trimmed well within 6 hours but what with the spliff breaks and having to erect the drying tent first and clean up the area it has taken longer than anticipated.

Trimming has been pretty easy plantwise i'm not sure why its taking so long

There are some meaty smells, silly putty smells anise, banana peel, rubber and damp gym towel smells

Scissor hash is jet black in colour and smells hashy, gym towel with a bitter edge to it.
Already i've seen quite a few seeds on the pollinated branches

I had a sneaky one skin with the scissor hash from the goaty smelling one and was pleasantly surprised with the next level high, similar to Posi haze it gives you the sense of being able to shimmy within time.

It is very up but seems more centred and focused than some Hazes. Great temporary back pain relief and increase in mental capacity feeling. From the small amount i sampled it is quite trippy too but the best thing is it has this overall sense of real quality to it, like a fine wine, like i suppose i imagine the old apollo genius line.

Permagrin and rushes... Wooooooosh

It's gonna be strooooong.

 

[exoticrobotic]

I better reveg these bad gals.

There is an overwhelming sense of refinement and quality in the Oldtimer1's lines i've tried, Smile and Oldtimes that is very similar even though the lines are quite different.

It's very hard to explain.

I do hope others are preserving these gems and not letting them sit in the fridge.

There's real gold in them.

The cloudy weather during the last week has been perfect to get a slow dry on the Oldtimes buds.

i've been scissoring up a few buds and drying them on the heat mat for quick testers, i'm bored of my current smoke, and so far have tried some quick dried larf of one of the Oldtimes.

It already gives a soaring high with permagrin and warming rushes, colour enhancement and a few smiling woah moments . It's the first smoke i've had in ages that i've found myself stopping halfway through a single skin spliff. It builds very nicely and i find i'm smoking about half as much compared to usual.

On the not so plus side It tastes like Peanut skins and has a similar bitter drying action while smoking.

The buzz is superb though. Very nice indeed.

Nice @exoticrobotic

Thanks for sharing and congrats and that sticky harvest

Signs of reveg on one of the Oldtimes.

It's such a nice timewarping trippy smoke.

Thank you Oldtimer1

Let's see what pops up in the f2s and beyond.

 

[zaprjaques]

Amazing !

 

[exoticrobotic]

Seems a 6 month cure on the oldtimes brings out something rather remarkable.

The high changes from an instant grinning trippy high to a much more delayed but profound trippy up high, still with the grins but with a sense of overwhelming euphoria, hands in the air, oh yesssssss kind of smoke.

Gets real trippy and silly

One of the more standout smokes i've had in many years.

Props to OT1.
YES Thank you

 

[exoticrobotic]

I'm very much looking forward to the Oldtimes. I have his Oldtimes bx release too.

oooh i didnt realise that. that's cool

13 seeds from the nicest Oldtimes female are currently soaking.

All four females were nice but one of the females stoodout and had a smiley feel good rocket ship to the moon and beyond effect. Unfortunately i don't know which one it was and nor do i have any of the mothers revegged anymore, but i do have quite a few seeds

i end up chain smoking all varieties regardless so after a few months of smoking i can get a good idea of the different qualities they have as i assess where i've ended up.

When i first smoked the scissor hash i knew it was something different and above most of what i've tried over the last 30 years but it goes up another level after it's been curing for 6 months.

A really nice smiley trippy high that is quite centred and clear in thought but keeps building over 30 or 40 minutes to an amped up but centred altruistic high that imparts a golden glow to everything.

It is quite easy on the mind. You feel gooood and connected more to nature and the universe. Some wtf moments have been experienced and it gets visually and mentally trippy in larger doses.

I really hope i can find the same buzz in these 13 seeds. The F1s were all quite quick so it will be interesting to see what comes out most in these F2s.

Nigerian, old skunk1 or blueberry genes

The grove bag the smoke came from had everything mixed up from lower trimmings so i dont know the plant it came from but the seeds i noted were nearly half the size of the other ones so i have a start to get back that buzz from these tiny greyish seeds.

Let's hope we find again these ultimate feelings of truth, love, spirituality, bliss and 3blottersworth

 

[exoticrobotic]

I wonder if extreme trippiness comes on in some varieties much more after a long cure and maybe that is one reason people don't report such effects often

have wittenbthisn beforenwas given seeds while on CW[thanks pacific] to repro

got a late male from them..whew

my take..OT1 wildly variable ,

seems to contain some wld unlike ohz

there are fat and skinny and different flower times..and some hermi;s

I feel the other hazes have more power

BUT

OT1[ so far with me] is the only haze that doesn’t have much sedation.,.

but has happy euphoric buzz

 

[exoticrobotic]

i dont think the oldtimes has any ot1 haze in it @Rgd

oldtimes is a nigerian crossed to an early skunk then crossed to a blueberry then a male from that crossed back to the nigerian skunk.

It shares some similarities with a good posi haze in high but it is a few octaves higher and less dense if that makes any sense at all.

No taste to speak of apart from dry cigar but it's a cracking smoke, like wandering through the fields after taking 30 mushrooms, then going to the pub

 

[Rgd]

i dont think the oldtimes has any ot1 haze in it @Rgd

oops sorry

must’ve thought you were talking about OT! haze

never heard of old times

pardon

I've spent the last 4 days carefully collecting pollen

The pollen sacs on the far left male were opening quick and fast so easy to collect.

The pollen on the other two males were not so quick or fast.

I could stand the allergic onslaught no longer trying to tickle each pod over a testube so bought some large wax paper bags, bent the tops over very carefully so they didnt snap and tied the bags over the tops.

Shaking them twice a day and collecting the pollen in a bag would be way easier

Last night i untied the bags and indeed there was quite a bit of pollen so i carefully carded it all to the side and collected most of it, unfortunately there was a large crease in the wax bags and my card snagged puffing clouds of pollen into the air.

just here for your allergies bro - fun project you’ve got going ! I did a bulking a long time ago of OtHz (nearly two decades now) I’ve been meaning to circle back to; he definitely was a good fella

It both collects & dries itself if your patient enough - ha

 

[ledo]

i dont think the oldtimes has any ot1 haze in it @Rgd

I’m as certain as one can be they are very divergent at worst completely unrelated at best

Ones I bulked very thin like Ohz

there are fat and skinny and different flower times..and some hermi;s

I don’t recall seeing hermies in OtHz but did in extremely inbred Ohz

I feel the other hazes have more power

Agree

BUT

OT1[ so far with me] is the only haze that doesn’t have much sedation.,.

but has happy euphoric buzz

Definitely the best haze @ imo, in general haze bullies & sedates everything it touches - Othz does not

How’s the ribs doing bro…?

 

[exoticrobotic]

Thats a lot of pollen. Do you find each pollen has a different high, i do, the oh pollen quite nice actually even though i'm massively allergic to it even the sight of it gives me the heebyjeebies.

some nice diversity i hope in the f2s but its all about the high, huge leaves looks like a blueberry or nlhaze, who knows what gives that high but i hope tf i can find it again within the seeds.

i've got a lot of pollen i'm eating it each day along with the sniffing of it to help my allergies.

 

[exoticrobotic]

Maybe it's the Nigerian that makes it trippy.

It does share the taste and smell of old african bush
