he sounds like he should be the suspect lol

i repotted the sativa hybrid females , and i also turned the cmh off above the silverhashplant . 3 weeks still to go on her ,and i'm finishing her on a 150 watt hps . she does not need all that light as she is not the biggest plant . next round i will put a bigger plant in just to keep pipeline happy .

Description​

Genetics: Greek heirloom / Arcadian landrace
Sourcing: Delicorganic, Mantineia, Greece, 2005
Purpose: Hashish or bud
Latitude: 37°N
Harvest: Early to mid October
Height: Up to 2.5 metres
Characteristics: Earthy, woody, hashy, herbal, some spiciness
Grow Type: Outdoor, greenhouse, or indoor

‘Arcadian’ is another well-maintained Greek landrace strain from the collection of Delicorganic, joining their highly regarded ‘Cretan’ and ‘Kalamata’ lines.

The Arcadia region of the Peloponnese mountains was historically renowned as the producer of superior quality sieved hashish during Greece’s heyday as the main exporter for the hashish markets of the Eastern Mediterranean. A vibrant smuggling trade from the ports of Greece and across the north African deserts supplied the vast demand from the megacities of Egypt such as Cairo and Alexandria.

The original accession of seeds was collected around Mantineia in 2005, so significantly before the subsequent massive introduction of modern hybrid strains to Greece and well prior to any impact of modern strains on provincial regions such as the rural Peloponnese. The accession appears to be representative of ‘kannàvi’, the name for the cannabis that was cultivated on a large scale around Mantineia for more than 60 years.

This strain produces sieved hashish and bud of high quality. Characteristics are as expected for a classic Eastern Mediterranean landrace, showing every sign of historic domestication for production of sieved hashish.

Plants reach heights of up to 2.5 meters and exhibit considerable lateral branching. Yields are moderate. Bud formation and maturation may vary somewhat between individuals within the population, but overall are dominated by classic Mediterranean ‘hashplant’ morphology: Resin glands are on long stalks and bud structure is quite loose, with bracts holding a high density of fully formed resin glands.

In the Peloponnese, plants commence flowering around July to early August and reach maturation during the first half of October. Plants show remarkable resistance against mold and pests.

Aromas and taste are mainly earthy herbal and slightly spicy, the smoke undoubtedly reminiscent of high-quality old-school Greek cannabis. The quality of both dry-sieved and water-sieved hashish from these plants is remarkable. The effect is calming, focused, introspective, and creative.

The seeds are from an open-pollination maintenance grow to preserve the full genetic diversity of the original accession.

Arcadia (Greek: Ἀρκαδία) is a region in the central Peloponnese. It takes its name from the mythological character Arcas, and in Greek mythology it was the home of the gods Hermes and Pan.

A lot of Anguses claims seem like a reach though, if not bald-faced lies. Like 2005 being "significantly before the subsequent massive introduction of modern hybrid strains to Greece". Claims like these while standard fare might be somewhat plausible for like remote Himalayan villages but Greece?

i know they have been growing huge commercial crops on the islands such as crete for generations in recent history. even when highly illegal

fresh frozen gumby style on the horizon. a bucket, ice, fresh frozen trim . bashed up with the ice , allowed to sit for a couple of hours. remove all floating spent material , and then without disturbing all the hash at the bottom of the bucket, use a flexible tube to syphon out the water all the way down to the layer of hash before collecting on a coffee filter paper or 25 screen . no bags used. dry hash , and then rosin filter into the final product

Sounds good!
After getting a couple of the machines, I’ll never go back to the spoon. Haha.

I don't doubt that but the over 20-year-old webehigh.org article for Athens says that Greek weed like Kalamata has become hard to find "in recent years", Skunk is available instead. And well it is and was a first-world country where seeds are legal...

I’ve ran the Congo, mango Thai and Sinai from them, the Congo came out closest to the description…
Still have 24 Sinai to get through one day and hopefully find that fabled Turkish delight plant to add to my rose scented clones I’ve been searching for for nearly 10 years…
