Sadly, I'm not moving to A-dam now, but I am working on establishing a new grow here.

Soon I will be growing some real pure Punto Roja, so maybe I'll try the Seedsman one alongside just to see.

I have grown Hash Plant, Afghani, Skunk #1, Swazi, Durban and Malawi by Seedsman over the years, all were as described and good, but they should be, the first two were by Sam the Skunkman, the last three direct from African Seeds (now sadly closed, sob) in South Africa. Seedsman source their stuff from a variety of places, so without knowing where their Colombian Red Haze came from its impossible to guess what it will be like.

Morp, another couple of weeks, maybe even a month of 10/14 will really help with those SE Asian girls, they really pack on the triches in the last few weeks.

let me know if u find info on colombian red haze
i'm interrested to buy it too
thanks :)
 
Some attempts of growing some sativa from the spanish pyrenees in holland. The one on the last two pics smelled flowery-sweet but finished late. The one on the first pic was ok though.

Raco, regarding you mutant leaves I used to have this issue with my pure sativas as well. I fixed it by foliar feeding my vegging plants with a bacterial tea first (www.bountea.com) mixed with 25% of the recommended organic fertilizer. Usually I spray on in the evening so the microorganisms don’t get too hot from the sun or lights and they have a chance to do their thing.

I will also use the tea without nutrients to water the roots about every two weeks. I never put added fertilizer to the roots or need additives in the soil and my Malawi, CG, and Thai seem to love it. When the plants start to flower then I stop foliar feeding and switch root feeding.

BTW, thanks for all your posts they are awesome; I always enjoy reading of your work.

Much respect
 
True Popcorn bud

True Popcorn bud

yes, a very informative thrad. it was like a mini sativa semiare. Motaco you are a true sativa cannasouir :joint:

motaco are you in the south east part of the country. I live in the reigon and I've been seeign quite a bit of popcorn mid. and yes that's a nickname for a particular mid. that's common in the south. have you heard of it. I'm sure there are many different strins refered to as popcorn. but when you talking about mid-grade. so called popcorn always has for the most part the sameish smell, taste and look. it runs $35-40 per 1/4 or $10 per G. it has a smooth floral smell/tase with a tiny hint of lemonish-pine in the back. not harsh at all. the buds are dence but not nugget dence.

also there is a mid variety I see from time to time that is a more dence, soft, bumpy/lumpy nugget that when you handle it it just begins to crumble into pellets but it you gently sqeeze the bud it's spongy. it has a buttery smooth taste/smell. very mild smell. not over powering at all but pleasant. this mid is usually pretty common too. seems like it's grown domestic becasue you can often find it in thick nugget form with a seed or two for $10 a g.

can you Id either of these strains motaco?

no I don't know anything about either of them. I wish I did. we haven't been seeing shit around here lately. I'd kill for some good cheap mids.

after katrina its pretty much been a replay of the late 80's early 90's. we should start drinking 40's again seriously. the only thing that has been around is low quality beaster like I haven't seen since when it was called endo and schwag. its been a particularly bad year for weed quality as well as alot of other things around here.

hopefully this next year will be better quality. but probably not judging by the price and quality of produce.

It wasn't until today I found a bag of good weed. its not even great but I'm happy to have it. couldn't even get much of it there is so much demand for anything of decent quality.

its funny street dealers have stopped bothering to lie. its like so dry they've adopted radical honesty. You know how every dealer you've ever met claims to have the best weed? Not anymore they quit bothering to lie. You ask if its any good and they're like "nah man it sucks" but everybodys weed sucks so its not like your going to go look that hard.

you guys are really hurting over there. there is quite a bit of mid where I live. for the most part, lately there is no need to bother with reggie(regular schwag) mid seems be be quite abundant.

for independence day concert celibration I picked up a g of some mid called "Arizona" for $10... well, that's what the guy said it was. some people just say bud is from out of state to move it quick. it looked like the popcorn except it had more red hairs and had more of a lemon almost anise flavor rather than the floral. well I did find one seed in the bud. it sprouted over night :jump: male or fem, I plan to use this so called "arizona" for breeding. it's a good feeling to find fairly decent genetics without ordering seeds.

I ordered some wild durban form african seeds back in 99' that I lost :bashhead: . that was my only ever experience of ordering seeds. my situation is not ideal for ordering through the mail so I have to work with bagseed for now. but that's okay with me. plus it's fun collecting seeds from bagseed. :rasta:
 
Mr. Morp,

your Thais are wonderful! :jump:

I like send you a mail to ask you about this Thais, but I dont speak English :spank:


This is Thai Ko Chang (Seedsman Mama Thai)

guys you should check out youtube and type in "jamaica ganja"

they got some cool videos. you can see rastas growing those shitty little indicas that are about 6 inches tall and 4 grams.

but you can also see some older strains around in some videos. plants that adapted to look like stereotypical jamaicans.

There are a good bit of them. I ended up watching different jamaican grows for like an hour.

I was surprised to see how many sativas alot of them were still growing. I thought there were more indicas out there. they had some sad indica videos too though.

That's where I honeymooned, but cocaine has really changed the landscape as far as how Irie tings are.
Good times- my wife lost for days after eating more than one brownie. Rolling her over in the sun every half hr.
The rasta who interrupted our romantic dinner for some $ for the "bruddahs" on the farm. Heard his rap for 10 minutes, man, he was good, gave him $20.00.

Shit, I gotta go scan some pics! :D

highlighter post them pics if ya got them. that'd be cool. In fact if any of you guys have pics of bud you got in jamaica that would be cool. on the first page I got up some pics from CC. I don't particularly like them but I had alot of trouble finding pics where both the bud and the photo itself was a decent quality.

but those videos definitely made me want to go visit. seeing those sativa fields. I'd bring them some hawaiians and shit I'm sure they'd love that.

sounds like police are dicks. trying to arrest you. but everyone says there is weed everywhere so just keep a joint on you that is disposable. there will be more.

expensive though. I was told by a guy that Ghana is practically the same thing. weed and growers everywhere and that for what you can stay in jamaica for a week you can stay there for a month in the same conditions.

Yeah, and I read on here 90% percent of the people in Ghana smoke weed, and 90% speak English.

Only thing is, it'll take a couple thousand bucks just to get to Ghana, Jamaica is just a couple hundred to get to. So i'm not sure how it balances out

I wonder how much it costs to fly to Ghana from the UK? I imagine living costs would be cheap once there. I reckon I could have some fun in Ghana if I took a set of bubblebags! lol

One thing I have heard is that rolling papers are like gold dust in Ghana. I would take a load of those big 500 packet boxes and gladly hand em out to folks. I'd get the address of someone and send them a box every few months, hate to think they have to use newspaper to roll joints, yeuch.

and onion peels. if u havent tried that u should..

id smoke one made with oinion peel (the thin see thru film thats inbetween each layer of onion) any day before news paper - cant even imagine how horrible that should be.

the onion peel thing is really easy - just take the thin film thing out - spread out a piece, put ur cut bud inside in normal rolling fashion, roll it - and then to make the skin get smokeable u dry it with a lighter or in the sun - its quick :D and taste far better than the leda ones.. and YES it kind of seethru and taste sweet to smoke :D hehe

also i have smoked quite a few spliffs in dry banana-palm leaf pieces. its actually not that harsh - and stays glued with just saliva.

u dont know what ingenuity is untill u are in the middle of the jungle with a huge lump of compressed colombian and an urge to smoke :D

btw - ghana drug policy is interesting...

peace all :D
