Revival of the Ultimate Sativa Thread

that sucks. I had no idea it was that bad. I was under the impression nimbin was an actual town town too. 500 people is like a village. my highschool had like 3000 people at it. and if nimbin is the weed capital of oz than the rest of oz must be like trying to score weed in a church parking lot.

Yeah, but it motivated me to stop supporting growers supplying C-Grade product, and for the cost of a Nimbin oz, I was able to buy my HPS lighting and start a whole new adventure!

Near Nimbin, but closer to the Coast is a place called Byron Bay, famous for its annual Blues Festival. During the Festival, cops will be walking drug-sniffer dogs down the sidewalk to see if the dogs pay 'special attention' to any passers-by!!!!

Nimbin is/was still a fun place to visit for maybe an hour (2 if you're stoned...)
Amsterdam it ain't.

Hey guys
Here’s some pics of some true pure Swazi a friend of mine grew outdoors.
A friend of his gave him some Swazi bag seed that he started to grow and turned to me for some help when they started flowering. I told him to immediately pull the males which had done some minor pollinating to the single female, trimmed the bush a bit to promote good light penetration and made him some good nutes for the rest of flowering.
The bud turned out to be some of the most mind-bending trippy shit I ever smoked, I’ve only ever had a panic attack once from smoking and it was from this Swazi.
This definitely isn’t the normal mass-grown, inbred, sweat-cured Swazi that’s so common around here. Some how he got some pure Swazi seeds and it’s a good thing the males did a bit of pollinating before they were pulled because a managed to get a few good seeds (there about double the size of the normal crap Swazi seeds we usually get)
I plan to make a cross of his Swazi with some special rooibaard seeds I got (definitely the trippy high I’ve ever had), the plan is simple – cross the two strongest, most trippy sativas I’ve ever smoked together to get a truly crazy landrace sativa cross.
I hope it’s at least as good or better than the parents.

Hi African herbman - Please elaborate a bit more on the Swazi 'high' if you would, and also the 'high' of the rooibaard.

I'm currently looking at Afropips Swazi Rooibaard as well as Seedsmans Swazi Redbeard and trying to decide as I want the Uppest high available.

Any recommendations?
Cheers

 

[African herbman]

Hey Baphomet,
The only way I could describe the high of Swazi is a smooth, uplifting energetic high.
I think it really depends on how good and pure the Swazi is. Some Swazi will give you a great lightweight high (almost floating feeling through your whole body), a very nice day time high, it’ll make you want to mission around just because of how good you feel. But some Swazi can be pretty potent and very active (the Swazi I posted pics of is the kind that you can’t sit still because your mind is racing to fast and you kind of freak out a bit if your by yourself. You need to keep yourself busy and active to really enjoy it)

As for the rooibaard, I would recommend it over the Swazi any day. It’s just a whole other kind of experience. The high is intense (again, if you get some of the pure stuff) and very crazy. The first time I hit Rooibaard my tolerance was low then, and it really hit me hard. After about 5 good pulls I had no idea what was going on. Everything was a blur and I remember walking into my buddy’s garden with my hands out in front of me cos I thought I was going to fall, my motor skills were pretty non existent. Don’t expect it to be that intense unless your tolerance is pretty low like mine was then.

Anyway, that’s how best I can explain the effects they have on me, hope it helped a bit.

Sorry for the long post, I tend to over wxplain a bit

 

[Baphomet]

Thanks for that info - REALLY appreciate the detail you went to.
Rooibaard it is.
Cheers.

Nimbin is not the capital of mj in oz guys but it is the place were they hold the mardi grass festival yearly.

Nimbin is in the shire of byron bay as is Mullumbimbi and other towns but nimbin has had a large probleam with heroin for some years and speed and the ones comeing up to try to rip you off are junkys.

Lets be honest were theres a big heroin problem theres a high crime rate and as nimbins gets a lot of people from all over the world showing up im betting a few local had inuf and complaned and the law acted.

If you went say to the hemp embasy had a coffe asket about im betting you would get something of value .

Never been to nimbin love byron tho.

Quolity of cannabis is not the town its from but the quolity of its genetics lots of good mj in australia trick is knowing were to get it like any country.


As for them trying to blame mj on mental health yes they tryed but think that ploy also failed as the real probleam with mental health in this country like most countrys is the goverments just dont give inuf money to the mental health syteam and instead of treating people they let them live in the streets.

 

[African herbman]

Glad I could help Baphomet, hope you enjoy the “red beard” lol.

I have a seedling of unknown genetics that I sprouted too see what the seeds I got, looked like. I think it looks very much like cornfield’s Lieu Hanh seedlings, what do you guys think (I’m curious)





Do the seeds look at all like Lieu Hanh's?


Sorry for being a pain guys, I'm just interested in what you all think.
cheers

 

[cornfield]

to African herbman : look similarly, who know

 

[motaco]

@dalai

oh well thats good to know. I was under the impression that nimbin was to oz what the emerald triangle is to america.

 

[Dalaihempy]

hiya motaco nimbin is what we call part of the far north coast of nsw all along the north coast lots of hippies tend to live there a large % in and around byron bay wich is also nimbin.

Australia has some great erea but you can find cannabis growing basicly every were here but byron bay is a cool place i must admit nimbin was once cool from what people have told me but with all small towns you find they all have there probs nimbins has heroin or speed .

But if any one does go to nimbin my advice is avoid the street sellers go to the embasy kick back have a coffe get to know a few of the locals and then ask but be descret.

ps call me hempy .

Hola U.S.T people

Lovely Mexicans you are growing there bone. You should definitely wait till the "crap pheno" finishes, because I have this feeling that she is going to offer you some very psychedelic erb!

Interesting info about Nimbin, which I havent never ever heard before... I am very interested about the different climates of Australia / oz like you guys say it Almost every Ausralian outdoor growing story that I have read has been very interesting. I think Australian climate/´s produce very special erb and I would love to hear more about Australian strains!

Here´s the "new" Neville´s Haze gal that has been slightly pollinated [in very early stage ] by hermi OH x SK#1, check her out:





If you wanna see the resin, zoom <- that pic.

These pics dont make right for this pinched bonsai monster btw..

Crazy resin production so early + The fact that I have rubbed my hands once to make finger hash just a week ago and now she glisters of trichomes, once again, so I think, I might repeat the rubbing and practice this skill. She also received some purps pollen into hand selected / unpollinated brances and is going to receive some more later.

What can I say, I simply love the ganja this baby produces.

And when talking about haze hybrids, I must mention OH x SK#1, that offers so unique high, that Neville almost takes second place. The samples from OH x SK#1 have produced crazy giggly & energizing head high that is perfect for making love with your special one (or one´s, depending your style in small doses, but if you over do it, the session is going to be full of gigling... I cannot describe it better, but the OH x SK#1 makes you feel all sensual and shit!!!

 

[Baphomet]

Beautiful pics of your girl...

 

[motaco]

well as the record shows I don't know too much about aussie weed either, just what I've picked up talking to a few aussies and people who have been there a while.

So I'd better let hempy carry this one, but I think the northern part of oz gets the 2-3 seasons per year like jamaica and at least at one point many sativas were being grown there. I don't know what they are growing any more and I hear they have serious drought problems.

I know they grow alot of ak47 around there. but if you're interested you should really check out kogs video at pot tv. he gets some pretty good sized sativa bushes with the mullumbimby madness in 4 months but I was surprised how little he harvested. only 9lbs off 30 something pretty big sativas. ahh well those thais are airy we all know that. I heard when he released the seeds alot of people had hermi issues. probably people trying to grow a aussi thai indoors complaining about nanners.

 

[Herbalistic]

LOL for the last sentence ^^^ motaco

Are you maybe talking about the high times pot tv? I really dont know many international cannaboards and dont have much interest, or time to search them because this place reveals wisdoms considering the herb we enjoy!!! I simply dont have the time now to try keep up with several boards.

However, I have found couple other very informative & cool places that really bear up in comparison with IC..

I´m specially interested about those old sativa lines they are growing there in that crazy climate!!

I just put Durban Poison x Lowryder into flowering. She is almost 6 months old runt that was in 1.5 L pot for 4 months, then I transplanted her in 3 L pot, where she´s been veggin two months and shows very little progress, so I decided to flower her out. This is inceredibly slow runt growed from seed. I accidentally broke the main branch and made a clone of it. The cutting started to flower when I moved her under 24 hours from 18/6 light cycle, while she was rooting.. It actually just started to show preflowers before putting her under 12/12. I really do hope that she is potent plant and give some of that Durban taste. However, she is very indica dominant (at least in veg), so well see if I just had high hopes...

 

[Dalaihempy]

Hi all yes there is a large drought in a few states hopeing it changes water ristrictions are bad.

A lot of peiople still grow sativas i havent seen kogs grows or vidos but i have seen sats yield big here this thia line i was giften yields great out doors best the guy did was 10 pound cured so i think it depends on the grower and how its grown all the thia i have grown threw the years yielded big here basicly all sativas did but its realy depends how you grow them and were there grown.

The only places i can think of that you would not finish a sativa in australia is basicly the snowy mountins that are in an erea of nsw and vistoria but apart from there becouse of the snow you can do them.

Australia has all the sativas you can think off and all the dutch stuff to a lot of growers call the out door sativas here bush weed as its out door grown and all the indoor strains called hydro sad i know but most dont seam to cear about strain names or did in the past few lines had names basicly theres 3 rateings good / okay / and shit lol.

The Mullumbimbi madnes is one that a few seam to lay claim to have but sadly few do guys if you have something your told is MM and you grow it out just dont be to upset if it dont live up to expectations as the last time i saw real MM here was in 85 or 87 if it dont smoke like a good neviles haze it aint the real MM the real MM ius still alive but in the hands of few.

There are south american asia african even saw hawian and jamaican here you name it it came here be it threw aussie traveling abroad and collected seed and then brang it back or by shipping that off loaded tons of it up untill the mid 80s ods are just like the us and other countrys with shipping.


Australia had one thing going for it thats we were so close to asia and new gunie.


Any way as i posted in the sativa post i better post a few pics sorry there not pure sativas hopeing to start them in summer heres a few haze hybreeds a few from neviles haze and a Mangohaze girl i call queeny.


Mangohaze Queeny (Mr nice)




Neviles Haze (Mr nice)

 

[Herbalistic]

Thank you for the info Dalai Hempy

BTW, that Neville´s of yours has the same structure than mine, they are both from mr.nice, but this is the first time I see same structured NH from mr.nice.

That MM sounds pretty nice, I would love to sample her

 

[motaco]

yeah thanks for the info thats cool. its a shame people don't pay more attention to names. thats half of how shit goes extinct in the first place.

I know so many baby boomers who laugh about strain names then in the next sentence talk about "the pot ain't what it used to be". Its like no shit put 2+2 together. if you'd have identified and named them they'd still be here. but hindsight is 20/20 you know. juts gets me mad when they still don't understand the concept of why they are named.

but anyways. kog is some kinda local pot celeb. he wrote a real popular book on growing weed in oz. thats sorta what the video is. he grows 30 something 7ft mullumbimby madness bushes. from seed to harvest, and videos and narrarates it. its worth seeing. especially an old aussie sat like MM. really the last 3-4 parts. they are broken up into 8 min segments or something.

he does some kinda fukd up shit though. lol. he shows you why outdoor weed doesn't look as pretty as indoor weed commercially. he grows some really pretty plants then when he harvests them he throws them all down on a tarp and manhandles them. then when they are dry he puts them in a bag and crushes them as much as he can and says "it smokes better that way"

If you're interested its "pot-tv.net". I don't like emery at all. I don't register on his site or nothing, I'm not on his forums. the vids stream in RealPlayer. there are a few cool vids on there worth watching. under "all series" kogs is several pages back. they have his grow video in oz with the MM. Under a different series called "greatest grows" or something they got some really cool vids. a 800lb crop of outdoor BC bud. its a entire hillside in the wilderness with indicas. then they go inside and see his massive indoor generator run hydro lab done to perfection.

another one is a jamaican hillside plantation of cashcrop indicas and also about 200 sativas, and they go visit the Peter Tosh memorial pot gardens. They have one seeing some of RM's greenhouse plants back in canada, and some other various shit. It streams free without registering or anything so its worth checking out.

I wish IC would put there dvd's on here streaming. that would be badass.

I've wanted to try the mullimby madness for a long time, I've read that it grows into absolutely huge bushes and yields like nothing else. Isn't it also known as mother sativa?

 

[Dalaihempy]

hi all he sounds like an intresting guy and be it a little excentric lol.

I did met a few people threw the years here that did take mj very serousely and new the country and location the lines were from they grew and worket i have met a few that have had lines for over 30 years its not uncomen but most well dont cear if its good thats all that counts.

There use to be large crops here think the lack of rain in a lot of ereas has put a few on hold but 30.000 plants is not uncomen in some gorilla grows there was one grow i wont forget these guys cleared a top of a mounten in a rain forrest in the far north of Queensland right up the top of australia on the east coast and set up a huge out door grow and do you know how they they got found out ? , By a 747 pilot flying over head spoted the grow and reported the location how unlucky were they.

I dont know about kogs methods of cureing and packing of his harvest sounds a little od to me i have seen some out door grown mj that was real nice and had great bag apeal some not so nice looking but it sure smoket good tho.

I saw a few vids from mj man think it was in oz and were he met a few and there grows around nimbin think it was then went to nimbin they were mostly growing dutch lines from emery so say no more lol.

hiya bh no the mother sativa is a diffrent line the mm diffrent agine .

If any of you traveled to nimbin or ereas around byron ods are a few would say they have mm but i garante you the smoke would very from grower to grower from what i know 4 guys were responsuble for mm and when i smoket it i think i was 85 last time i saw it i was not expecting wat followed and most of the growers today if they had say a bag of mm and a bag of say bubba kush would pick the kush hybreed over the mm becouse they would go with bag apeal as mm looket nothing more than a nice sativa grown out doors but wouldnt they kick them selfs once they tryed it.
