Much love and respect brother, keep the amazing work going. Looks amazing!!!
By the way I got 2 sprouted of my poly narrowleaf line and will let you know when time comes, these 2 are the peak of my Narrow leaf selection.

Nothing these days competes with the shit from the late 70s/early to mid 80s IMO

Maybe the earlier shit was better ?

The older gear had less balancing cannabinoids and terpenes holding it back, it's as simply as that IMHO...

These days the same recycled designer gear is "balanced" and you get 20 minute snippets of being sedated or high, the old stuff though lower in total THC was so much stronger as it was cleaner and not muddied up by the fat kids on the other end of the teetor totter balancing it all out...

Much love

it's incredible how much more people appreciate and respect things they pay for vs are gifted; something I've become astutely aware of the past few months. I guess much like the rich kid in high school who's daddy gives him a car he takes for granted vs the kid whom works two jobs and buys his own.... Say La Vie

My best seeds have been free/homemade. Paid $$$ for lots of bunk though.

^100% and me too but hardly the point I was trying to make... You know how many times I've gifted someone seed (hundreds of them) only for them to come back a few years later asking for more, forgetting about the first gift having never done anything with them..? It's rhetorical JIC and more times than I can recall

Far too many want to stash away seed, like some type of gold reserve vs. actually growing them! It's crazy to me and I'm a squirrel too, I get it... But I also grow 24/7 365 days a year across numerous rooms & locations and have for 16 years straight now without ever a brake and over 33 years in total, it never stops, never.... and I'm not that old... popped my 1st seeds as a 13/14 year old, there's nothing more addicting for me than growing plants and cannabis is my favorite species

Much love brother Boyd

I hear you there. I estimate <5% of the seeds I've gifted have ever been grown. A fraction of that actually provided feedback. I've had more turn around and use the gift as trade bait than actually grow them. people be weird.

Hempy, just give out your seeds to shut up everyone.. ..
You guys always fighting.. ..over the same stuff..
If you have fire, share it.. can't take it to the grave brother.

I'm fascinated by all these names! For me and my friends of that time, there were very few strains with names -mostly just names of the country or region where they were from. So, "Thai weed" was just that. It came from Thailand. Looking at all these names, now, in retrospect, makes everything more confusing!

I remember, in my early grow days, we used to think that certain weed HAD to be grown in its original climate -one which could not be duplicated. We couldn't grow Thai weed, ourselves, because we couldn't duplicate the growing conditions. That's what we thought. It was as simple as that. We had to learn how to grow weed without the information that's available, now. Anyway, what ended up happening was that some people took some of those Thai genetics and grew them successfully in Hawaii. In fact, lots of seeds from all over, at that time, ended up being grown in Hawaii because it was thought to be the perfect climate for the best marijuana to be grown....and that's where a lot of famous early crosses were made, btw. So, I would reckon that some of those older Thai varieties that everyone is looking for, now, might have been carried on by some old school people in Hawaii.

The thing I'm wary of, in the modern, open and legal world, is that ANY wild Thai weed might be collected and grown as if it is "the" Thai weed that everyone now covets. Example: I grew some of Hazeman Seed Bank's -what they were calling "Drawoh's Chocolate Thai F5"....I grew it to perfection -very healthy plants.....and it ended up being total crap....no terps, no buzz...But, see, people who weren't around for the coveted, original Thai weed, wouldn't know the difference. Anyone can call anything by any name they want.....and who can tell until the plants reach late flower? That's what I think we are going to see happening....lots of wild, hemp-ish kinds of things.

i dunno if it works like that ,
i think its the populations that are important ,
the less in number they become , the more diversity is lost ,
but im no geneticist ,, just a gardener , so maybe we need chimera or someone to answer those sorts of questions ...

Yeah - good idea Wal - @Chimera - I think he's been about lately

 

[mexcurandero420]

Can you explain? I don't understand the meaning of your post, what is green hornet 82?

Green Hornet was a Swiss company, sold several very nice varieties like Thai'82.

You are so right about how differently people treat something they paid compared to free stuff, I have an uncle who owns a car wash, for years the pressure machine for the tires was free and always damaged, the day he changed it to payable it has never been damaged once. It's sad to see how humans are behaving in those occasions, they don't respect what they get without any efforts, it's insane to lack so much gratitude.

Miam, it looks great almost like a piece of fancy chocolate, bon appétit

I also got better seeds for free than expensive ones, I don't think he meant the free seeds are not good but too many people won't treat them with the same care they would have for seeds they bought.
Right now I'm testing seeds from Bota Farm for a friend, I got them for free but they are sold around 30$ a seed, that's extremely expensive for a seed and my own modest home made seeds are making better plants than the Bota Farm ones, I only have 1 plant still alive out of 5 seeds because 1 didn't germinate and the 3 other were awful mutants and future hermies. The last female alive is looking good so far, it's only at day 21 of flowering.This test won't be a great advertisement for this seeds brand.

I appreciate both to be honest, ledo I have a lot that a bought, but I have a lot more that were gifted to me over the years and I still come across old lines when I lest expect to.

A lot of people my age still think you can go to Panama and find Panama reds or Thais of old in Thailand, few know how many things have changed.

It's funny when you think about it, Sam who claimed to have the largest seed collection on the planet only sold seed of a few hybrids and no one gave him a hard time.

So people that sell seed are treated with respect.

Where I give seed away for free and have for as long as I have been growing, and I get the grief.

Maybe once it's legal here, I should do the same and sell hybrids and cash in to

wow! a golden shirt!!!

If you have something that is great why not, but the love of the plant should be the primary motive not the love of money, but it's plain to see you have the love for the plant.

I think most of us here love the plant mate but collecting genetics is only a small part of it, the work is in preserving them correctly and that starts by storing them correctly and then refreshing the seed so they remain viable.

Yes it's always painful when I see some seeds kept for too long and losing their viability, I know some people who kept way too many seeds for too long and now 2/3 of their stock is dead or close to it. Maybe it's possible with new tech to revive those type of collection but I have never tried to make some tissue culture. Is there some people who have try this method to get a viable plant from "zombie" seeds?
