You're right, I should give people the benefit of the doubt. My kneejerk reaction when I see prices like though.. But all that's been said already. Grow on! What's up with some pics of gear?
I can show you some pics in a few weeks of Devil's Tit if you would like who dat. About to harvest a few phenos soon.
My first snowhigh strain was Pipe Dream. It smells like blueberry candy. I will need to run that one again!!! I missed out on Tangerine Dream...Still kicking myself for not grabbing those babies!!!
Yes please, thanks. I keep hoping that somebody will grow out the Grimm Creeper though so I'll know just what to expect. Otherwise they will probably just keep sitting there in the vault

Glad your making your own soils, be careful though using alfalfa or hay which you buy from a "farm feed store". The reason I say this is the stuff usually is sprayed with anti-filarial /anti worm pesticides which kill insects in their larval stage. The pesticide stays in the plant material even when dry and when planted and composted it kills the worms and micro life, usually not totally but enough not to be optimal. Many beneficial organisms have a filarial life cycle, some are bad but have beneficial bacteria/nematodes and beneficial myco will kill the nasties before becoming full grown adult pests. This is something I warned my best friend while growing some of his plants. He laid out some hay on top of the ground to shield the plants from heat evaporation, though it was stalling growth and killing the microlife.

TMI, NVM...
My canna beds are amended with alfalfa, composted steer manure, straw and Happy Frog dry nutes. My canna pots are 4 to 6 yr old recycled soil. All are in beast mode this year.
I also use gypsum, epsom & a tad of sea salt since my soil is also lacking in Na.

Just in case u didnt know (potheads) snowhigh is mota de dios (post above) that means gods mota in Spanish. I think the "hiijo de la chingada" is a funny name for a strain they left out the "la" but i get it. Remember cheech and chongs up in smoke? When chong busts out that blimp joint of "labrador" cheech is like "hijo de la chingada is that a joint man?" its kind of like saying son of a bitch exept chingada means fucked or screwed

Yes, the High Voltage is stinky like a Skunk, it has a robust, strong smell, its kick ass, "But, it doesn't have any Skunk1 in its blood" Its Durban Poison x Hashplant, the hashplant was most likely from Jim Ortegas stock. The Durban Poison lines that was crossed to it was most likely the Mel Frank Durban Poisons he first worked on and released in the 70's. Need to call him, thanks for the reminder.
Sorry I had to reply to this ECSD even though the comments came from THCVHunter. I don't want people thinking im working with Skunk#1, unless it was a strain previously bred with it.
As for Vibes, I only heard about it from comments from others. Bodhi is a friend yes. I have given him a lot of work I've done on my preservation work or giving him clones from HP-13, Skywalker OG, 78 Iranian Hashplant/AKA: Iranian OG, Pure Kush:AKA: Hollywood Pure Kush, and probably some others. Doesn't matter but much of the preservation work is done behind the scences and released here and there. I have had many friends that I treat well and they do the same with me. I've traveled the world and lived outside the USA for several years. I have friends living around the world in various places and they have been very kind to help me with my passion.
Also there is a lot of negativity on me being a scammer. What have I scammed? Honestly when people have problems, I just want them to be happy with what they grow from me. So I usually give them something to replace a problem even if it was something that could have been avoided with more time looking into various strains and how they grow.

The male is dead it was a stud. Though I made F2s I never released until now. So if interested, they will be available soon directly from a site without the BS of having problems with whatever it might me. Stayed tuned.

The Aztec Golds are amazing and fast for Colombian Gold dominant. I lost the original Colombian Gold seeds that I used to make the strain. Well lost may not be exact, misplaced and unlabled would be more like it. I took the seeds out to repackage many years ago and because the seeds were unique, at the time, ehh, I'll remember what they look like.. rookie mistake but something I should have reminded myself, that being a stoner that you need to make good notes and label things or you will likely not have exact clarity in the future. Anyway Aztec Gold is killer. Oh Pipe Dream is killer too, more narrow leaves and more resin/frost then the BlueBerry Blast, bot are commercial viability. Yes, these were created for a high quality commercial line.

early impressions , i rekon anyone who grows devils tit will be happy . you better have a high ceiling though . i think i,m going to hit it back with durban and lock it in there .
@rykus purple pineapple bomb ...... what is it mate , sounds the ticket
@scrappy , if you nut it shout outbrother

You being funny Baked Beanz? LOL Devils Poison is (Durban Poison heirloom from my friends in South Africa, Durban/Eastern Cape area x Devils Tit male and Durban Poison male.
I was trying to make pure Durban Poison from some of the heirloom Durban Poison seeds I got from my friends in South Africa. Well I asked my partner the Snowman to keep some of the Devils Tit seedlings and remove any males from the breeding greenhouse. He got busy and when I checked in on the ladies, I saw that he left the Devils Tit male in with the Durban Poison males.
So people will get 100% Durban Poison phenos, the Durban Poison mother was a large beast with colas arms crusted in resin. Looks similar to Hammerheads photo. Maybe with a good cure it would get better but not all phenos are going to be killers, though it would be if they were.

I've never got any hermies growing any of the strains I bred with the Grape Krush F2 male. Though people have complained about the one Purple Pineapple bomb, some reports of the Purple Panteras have issues indoors. I would have liked to have seen pictures of the intersex traits to determine if it was genetics or stress induced.
I'm not sure of the genetics on the Grape Krush, but if I was to guess maybe some Oregon Purple Thai or something derived from it. It was presumed someone used colchicine at one point, to increase the potency of some of the line but who knows, which imparts polyploid traits. Another reason could just be the fact that breeding with plants which have been highly stressed and express these traits without trying to breed them out, will likely pop up in the recessive generations. Less likely in the F1, F2, and F3, F4 and beyond these recessive intersex traits will show under stress.
Any cannabis plant is susceptible too it and its hard to breed out of plants. Some breeders will "deal" with the sensitivities if the smoke is worth the grow. Many times you can find a cutting from that work and its fine and no problems, once you start breeding with it then the problems pronounce themselves. This seems to come up commonly when growers create "feminized or selfed" seed lines. The first initial grows are fine, most are not stable or true selfed lines unless the "breeder" uses a true breeding plant, a stable plant for its traits. Otherwise you will get all kinds of plant types, low yields, high yields, no resin, high resin, low potency, high potency and everything in between.
Anyway I apologize for anyone having problems with their SnowHigh plants. I will work with anyone that will explain their problem, contact me personally through a site I will put up. I will replace and or give something else that will make that person happy.
Now I would like all people to read my germination tutorial, even if you have grown for 20 years.. yada yada. Everyone could use an alternative way to germ seeds? Anyway some of my lines have really hard seeds, like a pistachio. So in this case, prying open the well grown seed might be what is in order.
As to Intersex traits" "Hermies" examine if they are at the very tips of the floral clusters, at the top of the plant. If you see this, let me know, take pictures. This is most likely a survival trait, when a plant doesn't get fertilized she gets pissed and does what needs to get done. She does it herself. These are usually good seeds and nearly all female, because its a survival trait. Any of these that pollinate other plants would be like a normal male pollinating plants, normal ratios or more female heavy ratios.
Now if you get "nanners" bananas, coming out of your floral clusters this could either be 2 things. One is very bad and the other is a sign maybe you should change something up?
Here is the difference: When you see nanners on all the floral clusters or buds, abundantly both male and female sex organs. This plant is genetically intersex and highly prone to "Hermaphroditic tendencies". This stuff is crap to grow and you suffer ruining your other plants. Kill these plants ASAP, cut from the bottom, throw a bag over it, handle with care not to spread pollen anywhere. If you are in fear spray all your other plants with water and then this plant. Water will make the pollen inert, and hopefully the pistils of the females didn't receive the pollen.
Ok #2 intersex issue: This is caused by stress!
Stress being, any one or a combination of things that piss of the plant. Over watering #1 thing that causes stress, under watering is way better then over watering. I can stress this out enough, keep your fucking over watering hand away from the watering can. Its tough and you can't treat every plant the same. Especially when a plant is young and hasn't established its root system. So I recommend lifting the pot to see if its heavy or light, if its heavy, don't water, still needs time to dry out. Wait till the soil pulls away slight from the edges of the pot. This will also allow the roots to spread out looking for moisture. They other thing I recommend is popping the pot off the plant and examining the root zone. If its healthy, white and taking up most of the pot then it can handle larger waterings, fertilizers and is more resistant to stress. So if the time comes and someone helps you water and over waters or if you forgot you have watered then the plant has the roots to deal with the excess, otherwise a smaller root zone will drop acidity and this will lock out nutrients and your plants can die, they can turn colors and they can "Hermie" on the grower. This is also true of fertilizing, excessive heat, excessive cold, many factors such as pest infestations.
The best thing is to grow in a healthy environment, with plenty of balanced spectrum light, good airflow and room for roots to grow without getting rootbound.
Now if you see the hermies here and there, most likely its caused by stress and with some adjustments you can dial in your strain. Just because one or many strains that have been grown are fine with one set up doesn't mean all with do with the same set up. Especially true with working with genetics with acclimatized to different environments. Doesn't mean the breeder screwed anyone, just means the grow, maybe, can remedy the issue with a little tweaking.
Hope the info helps.

Hi Snow is there any more info you can touch on about the Iranian?
I gave the clone to Bodhi years ago, I lost it shortly after during a test grow that I do for all the genetics I work with. I got it from friends in LA. It came from a Persian man that had the seeds from buds he scored in the late 70's from some imported Iranian herb. He decided to germinate them in the early to mid 80's. It was kept going around family and Armenians. It was renamed an OG, because it was an oddity. It was strong meds, potent and yield decently. Bodhi really liked it. I didn't get much of a chance to grow it before a gopher killer my one plant.
