Soma's Lavender

Anyone grown this shit?
It won High Time's Indica Cup 2005, 1st place...

 

[Moppel]

yes

 

[ezbake]

Lol. Well how is it? How does it compare to strains like G13 Hash Plant and Sensi Star? I'd think it'd be just as good if not better because it beat Sensi Star in the indica cup.

Is it a good yielder? Good smoke?

I'm sure you've seen the pics before, but why not.

 

[Bosshog Diesel]

i'm curious myself as i just got a cut of it. It is Excellent smoke but not sure how it yields...anyone know??

 

[motaco]

not a big yielder.

and don't trust cups. at all. under any circumstances.


but yeah its good weed IF you get the right pheno which is hard to do.

 

[Baba Kush]

better than most of soma's strains, imho, though that ain't sayin' much.

I've smoked the hash but not the bud. The grower said it was a poor yielder but awesome flavor. I thought the hash was pretty decent.

I got a few nice F1 Hybrids with Lavender. I'm growing Somango x Lavender right now and I got her as a bonsai. I plan on flowering her pretty soon. She looks to be Lavender dominant with dark purple stems. She has an excellent smell to her, rich skunky fruity aromas (even as a small plant).

It is immpossible to make an F1 hybrid with lavender. Its not a land race nor an IBL.

Nice bonsia though.

there is some lavender around my area that is very good. they grew it from seed, and found a good pheno. I helped trim some of it, and it was very good.
sorry i dont have any more details, but the lavender has been competing very well with alot of the clones floating around cali.

peace

Dude you need to read up on breeding. F1 hybrids don't have to be landraces or IBL's to be considered as a F1. Yes true F1 hybrids are usually two stable strains crossed together such as two IBL's or IBL with a stable Landrace. This cross is still considered a F1 hybrid of these two strains period. Both Somango and Lavender are quite stable lines anyways, maybe not IBLs but pretty uniform in growth and traits I would imagine. I couldn't see Soma releasing strains that have lots of variation.

hmmm... sorry to go off on a tangent here but I think he may have you on this one Closet Funk. It would not be an F1. (I am assuming Lavander of course is not an IBL, which it may actually be some type of inbred Afghani or whatever I dont know exactly.) The whole point of the "F1" designation is that it relates to specific patterns of genetic combination which only occurr if both parents are IBLs (meaning genetically homogenous). Lavender may well be the most stabile strain in its original form, but the offspring of a cross would not exibit the F1 genetic combination (which is a predictable pattern).

The correct designation is not an "F" anything, but rather a polyhybrid and should be named as such for example: Lavander x Afghani or whatever.

Having said all that, it is true that in terms of common usage on the forums etc, the term F1 gets thrown around rather loosely and everyone pretty much knows what you are trying to say, but still if we want to get technical, then yes F1 does relate to the first generation progeny of 2 IBLs.

lavender tastes very skunky, finishes in 8 weeks and yields poor.

I understand what your saying. I stated that it's not a true F1 hybrid. I didn't make the cross. The grower I got them from claimed that they were F1's of his own creation. I'm just going by what he said. Now for me an F1 would be something like Deep Chunk x Skunk #1.

By the way I'm still learning about breeding so excuse me if I state anything wrong. I'll get it right sooner or later.

learning is what its all about. we all have so much more to learn my friend.

 

[T.doT.Toker]

I thought f1 was like filal 1 or first generation or some shit?

 

[Guest]

I haven't grown it but I have smoke some and it was excellent. Top quality! Some of the clones going aroud of it in my area are not as good.

lavender is great smoke. spicey. the bubble hash made from it does not bubble tho. dry sift is incredible. If you like the variety than yield is ok, if its for cash cropping its kinda low
