Rainman said:BH - I just got back from a little vaca. in the Central America and smoked alot of ok stuff but the best was this brown, nasty looking stuff that kinda looked looked like Mexi-swag but not compressed yet. I got what looks like 6 viable seeds sitting in the freezer from that bag! The smoke was harsh and had a almost rusty taste to it. It came from Costa Rica and it had my heart racin and eyelids were trippin so hard! I hope one of those can give me the same feeelin! Do you have any info. on strains from that region?

Marksurfs at OG said:The Dalat are beautiful plants. The plants get up to and over 20 feet in Vietnam where the strain is originally grown by a French family there who have been growing the strain we call the Dalat for generations .
The Dalats I grew were grown indoors. The Dalats are made to be grow outdoors but will adapt with your good growing skills.
The plants had to be tied down and topped repeatedly until they started to show flowers. Even then the plants continue with upward growth. When I top my plants I do more of a fim than top really. I leave about 10% of the leaf set to cause the Dalats side growth to come out as well as keep the main stalk .
The plants can be controlled in heigh with a lot of topping-fim and tying down.
The Dalat loses it's shade leaves indoors as it grows and only has single leaved leaves. It loses its leaves naturally or it may be due to some sort of plant shock , heat, fertilizer, lack of enough water, extreme lighting . The Dalats height was 4 foot 10 inches or so at harvest time .
The buds of the Umbrella pheno as we call it can turn out buds to be the size of softball bats . The biggest full bud I had was 28 inches long and 5 1/2 inches wide when just cut . There are more than one Dalat pheno.
The second pheno I encountered was more of a scruffy looking plant compared to the umbrella pheno. The THC seemed to be more pronounced on this pheno but the yeild was much smaller than the umbrella pheno or the baseball bat bud pheno as I call it .
The umbrella pheno is the pheno to have of this strain for yeild as well as for a beautiful plant to grow. The buds will blow your mind they can get so fat . You have to watch out for mold they're so fat and big. You can see brown spots on the buds where mold was trying to kill the bud. I just cut out the brown spots and let the buds keep growing.
The Dalat looked at its best in its flower stage at 18 weeks. I let the Dalat plants grow until 20 weeks in which time the THC started to get a amber tint to it. I harvested right at 20 weeks .
The Dalat can be harvested before this with good potency and yeild. The longer she goes up to 18 weeks and just a little beyond the better yeild you'll get. ( indoors )
When I harvested the Dalats the buds were still getting fatter, even as the THC was starting to turning to amber. So the Dalats just grow and grow right up until harvest time .
The smoke is great. The high is a very clear and up high. It has very little paranoia to none even at extreme doses .
The high is fast and takes you up as high as you want to go. It's the kind of pot where you smoke some, kick back and do your thing, then smoke another hit which takes you right back up there again .
The high is a easy going high which leaves you with a nice temperament and a smile on your face . I'm sure it could catch those who aren't used to strong buds off guard .
The Dalat makes great hash oil. The oils so thich it's hard to cook with . When I try to get it to melt it's more like a thick tar that won't dissolve than an oil. It also has a red oil that comes from the oils, it separates itself from the Green-Black hash oil. It's a much finer oil and has a very strong chemical taste to it .
The regular Dalat hash oil is excellent to make brownies with or smoke . You'll get toasted or baked more than the brownies did when they got cooked .
You have to be in for a long Sativa grow but if you love Sativa buds and you love a great high and if you love good yields , then the Dalat is the Queen of the Land Race Sativas . She'll do you right .
She loves Nitrogen as she grows, lots and lots of Nitrogen. Even in flower, Nitrogen .
It was a great plant to grow and not only will I grow the plants again I am right now.

The soil was organic soil. I used Sams Choice Continuous Feeding from WallMart with Osmocote fertalizer in it.
I use 2-combination Sunsytem lights, 400wattMH & 600wattHPS in each hood . One 425cfm fan hooked up to both of them for outflow . 2 regular fans blowing under the lights for cirulation and to cool down the lights .
I used 15 gallon containers to grow in . I had to water every 3 to 4 days at the end of flower. I water when ever the soil starts to get dryish , not on a set program.
Fertilizer was added to the soil at transplant. I added Osmocote 19-6-12 to each container. Around 8 tablespoons full.
I also add Dyna-Gro 7-9-5 to the water at each watering . I add just enough fertilizer that is recommended on the bottle to keep the plants health up . I add what ever is needed fertilizer wise as the plants show need , not a program of fertilizing . I read my plants.

RE: I read your strainguide report
High WannaBeBreeder
I'll go smoke some .
This is what the cured buds like. I just took a sample off of one of those giant buds you saw in the thread.
The smell of the bud is that of a crate or box that had oranges in it.
A very light smell of citrus , not strong at all . The first hit was that of if you were breathing the air of an area where they kept oranges. Very light citrus flavor . The smoke is light going in to the lungs but heavy once in there and coming back out.
The Dalat has a incense flavor sometimes and is very smooth to smoke but thick smoke as well because of the oils in it.
So it goes in easy and hits hard once it's in your lungs , it doesn't expand like Indica buds, its just potant and makes the lungs want to close off if you take a giant hit.
Don't do that .
Take normal to small hits and your lungs with survive the THC coating .
It also has a grape flavor to it sometimes . It doesn't taste like any other bud I've smoked before. It's very specail bud but it hurts my lungs to smoke it . You don't need to smoke alot of this bud and it just keeps getting you higher until your head starts to thump each time you take a hit and you don't want to stand up to fast or you may end up back on the floor .
As bud potancy goes, on Marksurfs scale of poatncy it rates a good 9 for pot that will knock you out if you smoke to much .
You just can't seem to stay awake when you smoke to much , you relax . It's not a paranoid type high for me at all, very relaxing. It's great for those who can't seem to stay asleep at night like me. I puff a few hits of Dalat and I'm back off to sleep and very comfortable .
Hope that helps.
Di Wee Dalat's supposed to have the seeds available from what he said I believe sometime this year. You may ask him and see .
Take care my friend, Marksurfs
Additon :
Greetings all, High Di
here are some Dalat buds from my grow last year.
The buds have been curing since I harvested somewhere around a year ago I think now. I'd have to go back and read this thread to really know how long the buds have been curing.
The Dalat bud is much more potant than when it was first harvested and the high can knock a person on their butt.
I watched a friend smoke a good hit or 2 after he had been doing some heavy drinking . When he got to my house I didn't know he had been drinking because he was maintaining very well.
He took those 2 hits and it was all over, he rambled on about nothing and then gave me his leather Harley jacket, then went outside and sat on the side of my house and started to sing .
Fortuantly nobody could see him or hear him, it was night time so nobody could see him all spralled out on the ground.
The bad thing about the guy being all wasted outside of my house is that kind of thing can cause attention from the neighbors and they know nothing of me getting high .
I don't need that kind of attention. They know me as being clean cut .
The next day after he had given me his leather jacket , because he said it wouldn't fit him anymore and he really wanted me to have it, he came by and asked me if he had forgotten his leather Jacket at my house. I said sure , gave it back to him with a smile. I never bothered to tell him he had given it to me the night before . So the Dalat's good bud .
I use the Dalat to put me back to sleep when I wake at night.
I wake a few times a night usually.
The one thing curing has done is made the bud more expansive on the lungs. There's a very high oil content in the buds, you can taste a hashoil taste to the bud sometimes. Other times the bud has a grape flavor as well as a incense type flavor .
The buds much to strong to smoke alot of so it will last a long time at this rate . I had over 3 pounds of bud and I still have at least 3 pounds of bud left . It's all put away safely . It's barried treasure and only I have the map in my head. If I die maybe somebody will come across it someday well cured .
Take care all and great grows to you , Marksurfs
