Well, the colombian black requires at least 5-7 months of 12/12 before flowers start to even form and that's assuming you can even get it to express to its proper potential. Then it produces flowers for about another 5 months before they're close to mature then its not supposed to produce its most potent bud until its second flowering 1 1/12 - 2 years after germination. I'm about to work with them to see if rootbinding or growing from cuttings off a 1 year old plant can get them to flower sooner. Hopefully they will for practical purposes. Although for preservation purposes when I breed them I really shouldn't be using those tricks.

Yeah ceiling is a reference to how high you can get over multiple hits relative to smaller amounts.

how is that possible cannabis being an anual plant and it taking over a year to finish flowering. you sur you got that right. ive heard of 5 month flowering periods but 5 months b4 it even starts to flower. maybe u can provide some more information on this plant. it does seem like a bitch to grow but the harder it is to grow the better the plant it seems. but over a year to flower. do the plants ever veg?? seems weird to me.

I don't think it's supposed to take over a year to finish flowering its first time in its native environment but close to a year. So its still technically an annual. Its just a very old true equatorial colombian line and its acclimated to 12/12 thoughout its life. So technically it veges under 12/12 for about 5-7months then it flowers under the same light cycle. Lu did an experiment and flowered under 10 hrs light 14 dark and that didn't speed things up at all. I have yet to work with them personally but I hope to start working with them in the next month.

Hurricane, you don't have to sell your kids, lol we'll be sure to make them available especially to a fellow rednose man like yourself.

Along w/ C99 (anybody vouch for Wallyduck's?)
I've tried both the GN03 feminised C99, as well as Wallyducks C99 F5s so far ...

GN03 version - have grown 3 times, all 3 females as to be expected from femme beans. I ended up with two pineapples and another that had absolutely no pineapple in her at all, as if genetically switched off or non existant. It actually looked almost identical to the pineapple one, the main difference being redder hairs (as opposed to the well-suited yellowy/orange hairs of the pineapple). I think that may have been the so called grapefruit pheno, but it didn't do much for me - it's the pineapple pheno that C99 is all about. (If you've had C99 but it wasnt pineapple then you havent had C99!)
I believe these are F2s because the Big Book Of Buds says that Gypsy commissioned the breeders at Nirvana to make F2s (feminised ones at that), so a bit of variation is to be expected I guess.

Wallyduck F5 - grown once, lucky enough to get a female, she's currently at day 52 of flower and I will probably harvest tomorrow at day 53. Room absolutely stinks of pineapple lol (C99 is supposed to be a low odour strain, but when her glands rub against each other she really can get quite strong - she's overpowering the Super Skunk beside her to the point where you cant smell the Super Skunk, just pineapple). Could easily have harvested at day 40 and still ended up with good results, but she's just about perfect now at day 52. I can't see her going beyond 55 days. Wally has stabilised the pineapple pheno to F5, so nearly all your females should end up pineapple.

FemaleSeeds also have a C99, I havent tried it but I've been impressed with their ICE, Northern Lights and Grapefruit (which is 75% C99) so I'd be surprised if their C99 wasn't also good

HeLLo everybody!!!

For the thread starter I would say that Zamalito has sayed all the basic things that you need to know about sativas. If you aint lookin for an half year plant I would recommend an DutcPassions PowerPlant that should be an 100 % sativa made of South African landrace sativas. PowerPlant produces very pleasant sativa buzz that keeps you goin and goin, nice strain for an daytime smoke!!!

When you start lookin for an sativa high you will notice after a while/more info you get, that you can pic an strain that will produce just the high you were after. If you just want "typical" head high, you will go with Cinderella99 or something similar that aint take too much time to flower, but if you are lookin for some very special high you must be patient with the floweringtime! I would recommend you an strains like: Nevilles Haze, and all the strains that Zamalito described at his first post in this thread. You should also remember that true sativas are much more harder to cultivate than indicas, they need intensive maintenanse for months so you must think what kind of strain is most suitable for your needs.

Anyway, I wish that you find that sativa you are lookin for! If you want straight facts about sativas, you must check Ultimate Sativa Thread on breeders forum, it has been my longtime favorite thread on ICmag and probably even the best!

One love!!!

Keep It Green & Growin But Don´t Forget The Smokin!
Peace Out Growers!

Good thread! Zamalito, could you please specify what you mean by "exotic"—are you refering to the high, or to botanical properties like long flowering time?
 
id like to try malawi gold and some of the different african strains. africa has always fascinated me, so i think the appeal of herb from the dark continent just catches my attention. the malawi gold ive seen on grow diaries looks good. though not the most potent, i hear its a great high.

Skip afropips malawi....
I just chopped 3 of them. Started them from seed in march and were put out to flower in july. I let her go and go and go....... Trichs all cloudy some amber, plants buds hanging to the ground... the high?? Mediocre.. Disapointing to say the least..
I babied the hell out of them--even built a makeshift greenhouse to allow them time to finish. Using a heater on a cold night, etccccc BECAUSE this was supossed to be some damn good smoke--pffftttttttttt
Unless you live in an equtorial area I would skip it. Trainwreck at 44 days hits twice as hard.
I vote for nevilles haze. Jack herer as well. One of the few smokes that has nailed me to the cieling.
Isn't nevilles in sensi's jack herer?
Stay peaceful

many cannabis species that can acclimatize to equatorial latitudes have the ability to re-veg after it has flowered for the first time; so as zamalito said, they can still be considered annuals because they flower once a year :D hehehe...

the olden days of colombian pressed bud that reached venezuela were loaded with sativa herbs with no ceiling whatsoever! you could smoke spliff after spliff and get higher and trippier. nowdays, skunky types flooded the market and as already said by zamalito man, you build a tolerance real fast, smoke a little get high but smoke smoke more and nothing happens. imagine drinking coffee and then another cup of coffee won't give you effects because you already had one cup previously. just the same with strains with a lot of potency but very low ceilings.

punto rojo and corintiano, tripped out smokes. one time i had been smoking since 6am, it was about 4pm and about 6 spliffs later, i found myself thinking i was a hobbit :biglaugh: it was a full blown 'hallucination' comparable to lsd or psylocibin, the reality of it simply engulfes you. i need to find some of those beans. much peace.

"All around best deal going by far along with being the most colorful and most psychedelic:

Hothouse Flowers Haze (inexpensive and highly psyechedelic with a huge array of reds, purples, blacks and silver colored flower)"


i agree, prolly one of the best Haze out there at this time, as it hasnt been inbred, only a few gens done recently. get a shot at lookin at Haze from the 70s. HHFs pics are fantastic, and all the colors. lookin forward to runnin um soon.

think theres gonna be some of the Black in there as well. have had a few plants that wouldnt flip under 12/12, 10/14 they did much better. flower spot is runnin 11/13 right now, awaitin a batch of haze thats veggin up.

did i mention Haze has been the best sativa ive grown to date. last run i had a plant, think it may have been a Lime type, as the bud cured to a lime taste and aroma. didnt trip as if i had dropped a tab, but i was seein things in pictures and tracers. blurry vision, pretty amped as well.

imo Haze is rip roarin good, just a tough plant for most to run in there OP. actually for me, its taken quite a few grows of different sativas to get a decent run. pretty much have a good feel for um now.

Hi Purps,

Yeh they are the best ive grown too, bar none. On another level for me. Been lucky enough to play with a few landrace Sativas and some of them are for sure extremely powerfull highs. But for me there is nothing like the all round quality of the pure Haze. In some plants it is just incredible how deep and profound the high is..taking you places no others can reach. Those oldschool stories of legandry Highs of Cosmic proportions are all very true.

I sat down with a couple of flowers to test the other night from selected plants outdoors this year. The first smoke lasted 5 hours, 25 intense minutes whilst she builds and hours of floating and Soaring around. For me to have anything over a 30m high is exceptional, im a real chronic. Being sat there 4.5hrs later wondering how on earth that its possible for a high to be that profound for so long is just beyond belief. Its not jst the potentcy it is the overall quality too, never fails to keep a stupid smile on my face throughout.

Absolutely Incredible and thats before you get to play with the ceilings, or complete lack off!

All the best, Flores

I'm just smoking some test buds of my first Seedsman Malawi Gold, which I chopped at 12.5 weeks. They're only just dry and very green-tasting, but even so, they have a very tight, clear high, that will get a lot stronger with curing - even now, it's great, and very, very 'up'. I chopped this slightly early due to the threat of mites.
The other pheno is still going, and I plan to give this one 14 weeks, which should make a lot of difference - there's a visible increase in resin production and distinct calyx swelling now. For an indoor sativa, these are very easy to grow - I'm suprised how undemanding they were, and how easily the stretch was controlled. They've both finished at 3 feet (1 metre) tall, with LST, so it can be done.

BTW, Hothouse, are your seeds available generally, or only through auctions? I'd love to try these Hazes - they sound amazing...

c99 is a walk in the park .. it is so easy to grow , finish in 50 days of 12/12, EXCELLENT quality of high, & despite what others say in my experience it is the strain with the LEAST amount of tolerance and immunity build up ...

imho, you should try her before you jump into something else
