Santa Maria
- Thread starter GOATNUTS
- Start date
I had some Santa Maria x Grape Tanks a while back. Only grew out a few, but they were pretty good, not spectacular, but pretty good. I had no problems with them, except they were a little "hungry". There were 2 phenos- a tall and a short. The tall had more buds, but the shorts were a tad frostier. Both had a hint of grape-yness and produced well.

Santa Maria
About eight and nine weeks of flowering.
Few leaves, which makes trimming and cleaning easy.
Effect is high and releases much energy, taste is full of flowers and fruits, while the high seems to last forever.
The yield, which is extremely high made this a very popular plant for over ten years.
Santa Maria, a variety of marijuana stemming from the Brazilian Amazon where it has been used in a spiritual context, is now available in the Netherlands
While Santa Maria is not being used for spiritual purposes in the Netherlands, out of respect for the plant it's name has been changed to Planck…
The distribution in Holland of the real Santa Maria clones was done by the former Highlife-magazine chief editor, Bernt Gundersen, because he was bringing his new "found" clones of a strain that is worldwide known by now... to No Mercy Supply... to Cees.
And you better be sure.... he took care of free distribution (50% of the Coffeeshops in Holland have the name Santa Maria on their price-list).
No strain in the world so famous... Santa Maria. Strange effect... no seeds available, this plant was cloned for at least 15 years, and nobody knows the genetic background.
Because this is originally an outdoor plant, Planck should be cut vertically. If you don't do that, the plant continues to grow and eventually perishes under the weight of it's own buds, which cannot be supported by the skinny stalk. By cutting vertically they grow rather widespread; therefore put only nine plants on a square meter and twelve on a square meter of rockwool. Planck doesn't need a prolonged growing phase; on rockwool no more than three days, on soil five at most.
Flowering time is between eight and nine weeks, which is modest for a plant that is 2/3 Sativa and 1/3 Indica. The plant has few leaves which makes trimming and cleaning easy. It's potency resembles that of a Shiva, while the white layer on the leaves might be expected with an Indica. On the other hand, the effect is so high and releases so much energy, that actually it could not be compared to any of those. The taste is full of flowers and fruits, while the high seems to last forever.
Something about the yield. Being a topplant, quality is the main issue here. On the other hand, the yield, which should be somewhere between that of a White Widow and a Special, remains highly surprising.

I grew santa Maria from seed twice.The first batch were great,strong ,long lasting stone with a musky flavour.The second packet didn't compare to the first.I felt I was ripped off but then again maybe I just didn't find a keeper in the second pack.Anyway if you get the right one it is great.If you could get the clone,you'd be laughing.

where are you guys all getting these santa maria seeds?
how about santa marta (colombian), any breeders workin with that?

Sounds a lot like the first celestial temple seeds which were insanely tall nutrient hungry, skinny stemmed, heavy budded and resinous but 8-9 weeks for a south american landrace is crazy. Most south american that I've grown are very resistant to changes in the light cycle and while they may actually produce flowers for 8-9 weeks, even from cutting they can take 3-4 weeks of 12/12 to show any flowers. It sounds very interesting. Where does the 1/3 indica come from? What was it hybridized with to produce the f5 seeds?
From what I know Santa Maria (Planck) was a landrace amazon sativa (santa maria) crossed with an Afghan male by no mercy to create what was still called SM for several years. Outa respect for the place of origin, the name was changed to planck (short for 'cash on the plank', which kinda means 'cash in the bank' from what I was told).
This became a very popuplar strainin the area as indicated above, and alot of growers continued to work this strain pretty close to IBL satus. I don't believe these F5s are from No Mercy, but are from someone who's been working with the strain, and decided to do a huge batch. Maybe we're seeing it now as i believe one of the No Mercy breeders was busted.
i've grow it, it's definately a killer strain, and i didn't have any problems with week branches, but i grew someone's keeper cut, selected from numerous fems. i have some pics, i'll try to get them out.. I'm fairly certain my cut was selected from F4s or perhaps even the same F5s. in the meanwhile, check out dRbreiT0r's threads, it's one of his staple cuts right now, and he has an impressive line up. He should have some pics aswell..

yeah i just know it under the name Plank - here in central Eu , some commercial grower´s swear of this strain ... - got a clone from shop for some years ... got a nice ~ berry taste
nice yield´s and def a good high which is quite chatty and social
hehe yeah Bc , just wanted to mention DrBreitor with his Plank , he got it from the same source as i got mine .. about the same time too
have fun

you are correct, my understanding is santa maria is from brazil, santa marta from colombia.
polar3, reeferman recently released 2 new love potions: 1 bx to SM, the other bx to "g13". my problem is i dont believe g13 EVER when i see it, straight marketing for the dumb 99.9% of the time.. some may believe shanti's.. also i dont wanna make it a breeder bash but i dont trust reefermans genetics.
any SM afficinados able to comment on LP accuracy?

Thos are beautiful Love Potion's you have there Raco, for comaprison, here's the original Santa Marta Columbian Gold. This one is at 11 weeks of 12/12, about 2 more to go.
You can see the similarity between the two, but the LP definitely has more tiches and is budding faster, after 39 days of 12/12 the SMCG would only have a few little tufts of buds, they take nearly a month to start flowering after going into 12/12. The LP looks like it has much improved yield over the SMCG too.
I have made a SMCG x Herijuana (Motarebel) cross that I am looking forward tio trying, may be similar to the LP. I am working on a SMCG x Killa Queen cross too. The KQ is C99 x G13, so the cross to SMCG would be 50% SMCG, 25% G13 and 25% C99 which sounds to me llike it might ompare favourably to Love Potion which s 75% SMCG and 25% G13.
