Chasing The Present
^^ very common on sativas, not sure where you’re getting your info…?
In my experience and what I've witnessed it seems sativas usually have trichomes that are on smaller stalks closer to the plant making them harder to knock off for hash. It's why most classic hash producing regions contain indica varieties, except for tropical India where they make charas, however the resin is rubbed off instead of separated by size.

Chasing The Present
Indicas for hashish grow in dry mountainous regions & have dry brittle heads that fall off easily, it’s climate driven whereas sativas grow in tropical wet regions & have sticky oily trichs & are by nature designed to be repeatedly soaked & dried without much effect, this is also why sativas are hearty towards fungal pressures & indicas melt away, in general of course exceptions always exist…
Bust out a quality jewelers or Geologists loupe (like Belomo) and you’ll see both indicas & sativas are covered with all types of trichomes
This thread has endless examples of bulbous stalked trichome heads on Sativas, I just posted some you can clearly see above as an example
Peace & happy growing

You ever think about sending those orange leaves in for tissue analysis? 18 bucks plus postage could tell you alot that you won't hear elsewhere.
Hate seeing all these boron iron zinc deficient manganese toxic sativas.
Been growing Sativa in the cane breaks for 4 generations and still don't know what's "haze smell" is.
Odor eaters shoe spray? Fresh clean synthetic man made fabrics? Synthetic plastic gas? That's how the city folk describe haze.
Reggie terps? Most of the fake Blue Dream out west smelled like reggie, people would talk about "the haze came through in this one."
Had the bossman order a standard terpinolene sample (and some other bullshit soccermom marketing terps) so I can laugh even harder every time someone name drops that one while talking sativa.
"Ooohh you can taste the terpinolene"
Uh what's it taste like?
"Umm.. Apples? Hard to tell"

Lots of Nev's Haze in this mix, plus a lot of the Mullumbimby, and Hempy's Thai and Zimbabwe Kariba.
This is a lower chunky bud, her main stem was snapped about 50%, but I taped and staked her back up. Main cola is still alive, just not as pretty as this one.
Still needs a few more weeks.
Top left corner poking through is a big re-vegged Super Silver Sour Thai Neville girl.

Well yeah, according to TRSC, the collected population is uniform in this trait, so it follows that it was bottlenecked and inbred locally, for a long time. It certainly was there before.
Who knows how long these Himalayan varieties have been growing on a certain hill or in a valley somewhere that is only visited by people during harvest time? Hundreds of years, possibly.

Hey friend sorry for the delayed response. Im not sure if she ships stealth but its packaged quite well and got here really fast. And she is very helpful and kind. I'd buy a little of everything but my wife has warned me about being a seed addict
I can confirm Prem has great genetics and deals well worth a look and stealth enough for it to land in Australia where the customs controls are tighter than most countries. Ive bought a fair bit of thai seeds from therealseeds crew although seems closer to the source with Prem and supporting locals from the origins of the seeds, Peace Kitcha

Jeez... someones sitting pretty. For quite the while. Salute'
what do YOU think it smells and tastes like?
to me it smells like cosmic bubblegum; and high- terpinolene flower, when smoked, on the exhale iirc it tastes like weird fake maple syrup... and those instant alfredo packs from the 90s. not terrible, but not something to seek imo.
i also bought a sample of terpinolene (and myrcene, and alpha and beta pinene and alpha and beta caryophyllene)... smells great in the bottle, but strains that are VERY terpinolene forward, the smell can be a bit overwhelming (like when a dessert is sickly sweet kinda).
not convinced yet that it has any profound fx on the high, but if it does have fx then my feeling (based upon my experiences) is that it adds to the introspection.

That is very useful info to know, thank you.
If it can get into Aus, then the packaging is top grade.
Thanks!
That's one of Prem's crosses, too, right?
Your tent's gonna be busting out in another ... couple of months!
You still running those big organic boxes down below?
Yes, yes and yes
Got them from prempavee, was hoping the star pupil in the mix turns down the flower time a bit but nada, the 90l organic aren't helping also.
The last weeks i feel more like a bondage master, hope the stretch is over but still some time till finish. I hope for a christmas harvest (maybe orthodox).
2 Panama Red x fallen soldiers from Humboldt CSI
1 other has been harvested and was super indica heavy and uninteresting, low terps.
These 2 however the PR is shining bright and they will need another month at least. But they are in a great spot and get lots of direct sun, so they should provide me with my first true sativa smoke. Or close to it!!
Of note, these have been grown pretty hands off, they got some chicken manure and water to start, but they havent been watered since before they were flowering!

This is Ape Origins Thaifun Horizon ( Bluehemp repro) it's pictured here on Oct 4 and I just chopped it over the weekend, I'm at 40 N .Supposedly it pure Thai that's been we'll worked and adapted to Susie Switzerland. I got my doubts from looking at it but , but I shall see about the smoke. One thing for sure it's nice and early and she's got a nice sweet smell. I grew out 2 girls one had slightly thicker leaves than this one .l dusted a few buds on each with pollen from three males
