Hello Jingles,

Yes im pretty sure it is one of the First Sacred Seeds packets.

Beutifull I think, tell it was put together by people who really care about what there doing cant you. I love that packet, lol, stands as a real marker for me. The sooner we get back to those standards the better.

I know there is some people on the site that have some really old Sacred Seeds catalogues, before the later 80's ones. When they where just lists. Dont know if they will post them but it would be fantastic if they did. They where on OG at one time, listing the early Haze lines of Sacred Seeds, I would love to see them.

Here is that article the seed packet is from. Greetings from California, by Don Irving. A classic, love this article. Been acquiring the componants of Jingles compost mix today...ahhh nostalgia.

All the best, Flowers

Hello Jingles,

One day ill have to try and bribe you somehow...you preserve it well now! roflmao

All the bests, Flowers

There's a pic of a Sacred Seeds Hindu Kush seed pack in Laurence Cherniak's 'Great Books of Cannabis' Vol 2.

Unfortunately my scanner doesn't work any more...

Yay! Nice one man - thanks.

I should have remembered yesterday - I photographed the 'Mexico' section for the H.O.G. thread in DJ Short's forum - a great blend of 'nostalgia for the old folks' with the latest efforts from the young whippersnappers...check it out....

 

[Guest]

HHF .....as mentioned Cherniak's books are one of the better resources of olden times................

adios

 

[Guest]

I love their description:

Primo Haze - ....You're spellbound and had for good. The Cosmic Blackmail, you're bled dry, drained of life, of soul, of spirit, you're breath is drawn - you die. You are consumed and consummated, your ashes are spread to the Universe and return - your rebirth is complete...

To set the record straight, I was the one who originally posted the Don Irving article at the old cannabisworld.com and the magazine is called Homegrown Internationnal and was in fact published in 1980.
Hope this helps.
Peace.

Ciao Jingles,
I guess you have the best of Homegrown published in 1994.
On their website they clearly state it was a collection of the best article from 1977 to 1981.I believe Homegrown magazine did not even existed back in 1976.My magazine was the first time this article was published and it was in 1980.
Hope this helps.
Peace.
