Manipuri was from The Real Seed Company. Tbh if you are indoors the pheno I had took longer than forever, but would be perfect outdoors in the right climate.

I haven't grown the straight Zamaldelica so can't comment, but the cross with Kali China was great. Another one might be ACE Thai Chi, which dubi has said is his favourite, but out of stock at present afaik. I bet it's not far off restocking though as it seems to be popular.

Good luck, it's a worthy search. So many modern varieties look great but the effects can be like being hit in the hammer a lot of the time (for me anyway). Too much emphasis on THC content at the expense of the high imo.
how many weeks do you think the Manipuri flowered indoors?
i took an original haze out to 25 weeks so im patient...

i dont mind a heavy hitter at bed time but there seems to be an overtone of depression that accompanies lots of these. (and im sure its just my brain chemistry, but id like to avoid smoking sadness)

so its kinda funny looking at these recommendations because theres a lot of landrance sativa recommendations. which is great. im down for that. But But But
How about some more modern varieties.
Are there any modern hybrids you guys have noticed that bring joy along with the stone?

I have relative low tolerance and am a moderate user, so some strains can really give me anxiety (for this reason I stay away from WW and Skunk crosses) or overpower me.

For me Durban, AK47, Blueberry and Bubblegum are very mellow, positive mood enhancing strains. They give relaxation and a very nice social high for me.

I tried quite some different strains, but in the end I always come back for these.

From what I've seen most of the modern hybrids have been bred for high THC couchlock type effects. The landrace sativa is typically lower in THC and provides a more calm energetic type of high rather than just getting baked. There are exceptions though. That Malawi from ACE can send some people into a deep state of paranoia and that definitely isn't a joyful experience.

I'm no expert on modern hybrids as I refuse to grow them just because of the silly names.

anything terp heavy puts a smile on my face i guess they all do actually. love the high from a good ak47 gets me stoned and makes my brain race and that always equals +mood
i have a friend like this. it all makes him feel good!
my brain or body or both are more finicky. i think thats probably why im a grower. ive tried so many different kinds and had some great and some terrible highs.
i remember my first AK47 experience. wowzers. i had to excuse myself from the party. it was very strong and definitely had my brain chattering.

you know that Malawi has always caught my eye, but i dont think im ever going to mess with it. i would like to feel the raw power like once, but i definitely wont be incorporating that into my personal breeding!

do you have any pictures of these? ive been wondering whos Durban to grow for years and never pulled the trigger. id be more inclined to purchase an heirloom than one of the "8week durban/skunks"
its one of those varieties that ive read about here for years and years

I second mac one. Caps cut from clone, not a seed version or Mac cross.
only got to try it once and it definitely caught my attention. however it was a pre-roll. so it was golden in color and probably "well aged" trim joint, but the high was noticeably different to me. felt similar to aspects of a haze high for me.

I've been using a Durban strain of a cheap knock off company for years now (seed genetics). According to the description it's Durban x Original Thai, but the looks resemble the one of Sensi Seeds (not grown that one though). It's not the real one as it flowers for about 9 weeks. However, I love the effect.

I think there is not much skunk in it, as I usually don't respond well to that strain.

Also tried the one from Dutch Passion, but that I didn't like so much. Seemed a whole different plant, with more indica traits.

Don't have pics of it though. This pic is from a cross I made with this (bit narrower leaves), but still resembles the Durban mother quite much in structure and buds.

I was smoking fat joint of F13, as I had some serious toothache without having any dentist, in few minutes after finishing my joint, my friend called me that his dentist will take me, just I had to be there in an hour LOL I was glad because I cant do anything with fucking pain. so I was there, totally high on F13.. like on cloud, so happy and without stress. I even didnt feel drill drilling my tooth, dentist asked me if I took some pill against pain hahahaha

I left happy and it was kind of great trip to dentist, so funny and I normally am afraid of dentists hahahahaha... so good meds it is... if it puts me into good mood with fucking intense toothache which didnt allow me to sleep at all, then what if you are pain free. pure bliss.
