Yeah, those plants do not look like my AG from Snow. Mine were narrow leaves and delicate small leaves by the time they flowered or even before if I remember right. Hard to say what is happening. As I do not regard the Snow AG I got as being real AG, if the plants were to look different from what I got, that would be an improvement. hehe

Curious how it smokes.

According to satva AG disappeared in '72. He seems to be the most legit source of knowledge I know of on elite strains of sixties and seventies. In High Times they were lamenting about elite Mexican being all but gone in late seventies. If you got some real AG in 79, wonderful for you. Lots of people thought they had AG back then and got taken for a ride. Weird thing with this strain, so many fakes of it.

Greetings All,

An update is long over due. Well, I'll just say it, I think I was wrong to dismiss these as inauthentic. I feel so bad for slandering Snow High. These are definitely Sativas! Maybe the indica/hybrid appearance was just a "baby" stage. I made a huge mistake getting rid of those two males. But, I made the best call I could with what I had to go on. The male I kept ended up having lots of female flowers as well. So, I hope that I can find non-hermies in the upcoming seed batch. It took a full month for the male to drop pollen. The females are seeded and the seeds are developing extremely quickly. After two weeks the seeds look to be almost mature (they are just starting to turn brown). The tall female is now 8ft tall and looks like a Christmas tree in my closet. I am learning the limits of my lights and closet and am realizing that I can do some amazing things in this closet, including growing tall Sativas. The COB LED lights are keeping these plants very happy and healthy from the top to the bottom. The lower flowers look fantastic all the way up. I seem to have three phenos and one has heavier flowers and trichomes. I am very happy with these plants, so far. I plan on harvesting some seeds early and planting them in the pots with the momma plants to run a gender test to see if I can identify female seeds and to see if they are all hermies or not.

Pics coming soon.

I also plan on putting updated notices on the previous posts in which I prematurely judged these plants as non-authentic so that I don't cause Snow High any problems.

Humple W. said:
Personally, I am wholly unconvinced that the width of the leaves (especially on young, immature plants) is a reliable indicator. Ace's Panama is a good example. Wider leaves when immature, but looks pure NLD when it grows out. I know there are those who think Panama has been crossed with some indica, but I think that's ignorant speculation (see the Panama thread in Ace's forum for a detailed explanation from Dubi, who addresses this very issue - if you're inclined to hunt for the post, which was reasonably recent). As if anyone has grown every possible type of "sativa" (a dubious designation to begin with)? There are pics of some broader leaved Panama from the late 70's and early 80's, before everything was hybridized, and there are reports in early Cannabis botany books (R.C. Clarke's, for example) which clearly state that some of the Mexican sativas have broader leaves. I think this narrow leaf mania is based in fallacy.

Now that I've made my own (ignorant) case, I'll add the caveat that I'm as far from an authority as it gets, and this is purely my opinion, based on my own reason's interpretation of the data I've consumed. I'm no veteran who's been growing since the 60's, so armchair opinions are all I've got.

I think you were right.

These look Great

i think Snowy would not be the first one to own, or sell a broad Leaved Mexican. A lot of broadleaved Mexicans out there. Ive seen couple Cases where the Owners always are in the situation that they have the info these are AS COLLECTED, and people cant beleve it.

I think the Big Sur Holyweed-Line that circulated alot, was the same Case, people told its Hybridised, but then a Friend of the Collector came forward, said those are as collected.

So: Mexican collected Beans (in the 70s) can definitly flower as short as 12 Weeks. Heard it couple Times fro Peoples that seemed trustfull .

Nobobody could give me convincing Anwser what the Reason behind is. I mean a sort of Proof.



So, 12, 13 Weeker Lines from Mexico and SE Asia collected in the 70s are a fact.

Like Reefermans Hoabac?

They start with Indica Leaves and end with Sativaleaves.

Peoples have Ideas why this is, and nearly everywhere in the World there is a Shipment, or a Slavetrade that leads people to think that the Fatleaved are hybredised. (i think rumors about Nepalese, or Afghani Genetics in Middleamerica). But neither am i knowledgable in history, nor do i automatically connect Dots of Shipments (assuming an import spread around a whole country) in a way, thats to sophesticated for me.
So i personally just stay openminded, and why could a pure Indigenous Tropical Strain not be Fatleaved?

Acording Biologists Landraces in a general are Inbreed. Not outcrossed... I like to listen to them too.....

- So, probably Afghani entered, but is already heavily inbreed for Ages thowards mexican Direction (acclimatized). So halfway Mexican
- Or nothing at all is in your Seeds, its just a fatleaved tropical variety (i mean its not the only place, in SE Asia its the same.. So is it just natural?)
- Or its freshly introduced and outcrossed Aghani, or whatever. a 50 50 Cross.

Awesome! Post pics if you are able.

I started them all in 2 gallon fabric pots. I was going to transplant them into 7gallon pots, but they were out of that size at the grow shop. So, I went with ten gallon. The big tall plant would have been better in a five maybe to reduce its growth a bit, but so far it is working out. I hope she stops growing real soon though. Otherwise, I'll have to bend her down.

I hear that BSHW is really nice!
