Hey @Gypsy Nirvana . When you were selling seeds did you do a reproduction called Thai stick ?
If my memory serves me right - I did have someone on the Lao/Thai border area - that supplied me with a bunch of seeds that grew to be plants representative of the 70's 'erb that was made into Thai Sticks - long gone now after the USA Justice Department had me detained without trial nor sentence in a Manila jail for 30 months - till I was able to deport back to Blighty(UK) - in 2016 - finding most all of my seedstock inviable for sale -Hey @Gypsy Nirvana .

I would say that those times were the “Golden Age” of Cannabis. If you were hip from 1960 to 2000 you were part of pot history. @Gypsy Nirvana , @Donald Mallard and @Sam_Skunkman will each have their own chapter in the history books. People will never be that COOL again.that time frame was like the dark ages
who does the cat represent though? (I´m just assuming that it´s supposed to be a cat,lol)I would say that those times were the “Golden Age” of Cannabis.

Ha ha ha . That is a picture of the “Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers”. They were a very popular comic that started in 1968. They represent the era of the 60s. That specific point in time when the hippies and the love generation began. It does not represent any specific person. It is a visual metaphor. Peace brother.who does the cat represent though?

That is quite a nice seed collection.I still have the Asian Adventure Packs. Currently trying to figure out how to germ old seeds that haven't been stored in ideal conditions. Not giving up on them yet.

Back then - we gave so many different freebies away - some bought - and some donated - that I find it difficult to remember all the different names of the varieties - in our quest to get more people growing - every order had at least one pack of free seeds - given on condition that they would be shared with someone else who might grow them - and it sure did work - with many new growers stepping up to the plate - new growers then that are now seasoned veteran growers today - many who now make seeds and share them worldwideThere's a lot of memories there. Or lack off. I can't remember who the Missisipy Mud and OG F2 came from. Maybe Gypsy remembers if they were given out as Freebie at some point. Otherwise I probs got them at one of the many IC Cups we had in Amsterdam back in the day.
They've been stored dry but at room temperature for the last ~14 years. So not ideal. But from what I've read, it's not impossible to germ. I'm practicing my old seeds germing skills on all the bagseeds I still have from back then.
yeah man! that was when being high was an experience, not a way of lifeI would say that those times were the “Golden Age” of Cannabis.

Yeah - I've only harvested the runt of this year's crop so far - and it was plenty sticky - and it was plenty stinky - stoned on the dry buds now - and it's a good feeling - still have 5 plants flowering - so here's a few shots of them - I've pulled off the very faded leaves - ones drained of any nutes - since I reckon that this compost is almost shagged out - in these relatively small pots - so the plants drain nutes from the big fan leaves first - then the smaller ones - and so on - as the flowers swell - to be the best they can be - under the circumstances - for photos - it's good for - showing all the bud sites -Hey @Gypsy Nirvana . Did you harvest your Zamal plant yet ? We are in a terrible drought here. Its been so hot and dry that my plants are finishing a lot earlier than normal. This is what I have so far. Not too bad for a start. View attachment 19059704

Here's a semi-naked Malawi x NL - has a very nice structure - and many plump bud sites - can feel the plant has some weight and density of flowers too - if you shake it by the stem - quite compact - an auto fem - so easy to grow - just add water

Above is how the big Zamaldelica looks like currently - it's my largest plant - and has taken over the whole right corner of the balcony - stretched so much - I had to pull it over - to keep it low - to grow - exposing alot of lower budsites - and it's growing well so far - flowering up nicely

Thanks mate - it's been an odd summer - lots of wet and windy - but looks like I manage to get enough sunshine on my plants this year - and can already see enough bud to last me till Christmas - if I'm frugal - lol - wondering how much longer I should let them flower for - the Zamaldelica's look like they could go some weeks longer in flower - I may have to take them down earlier than I'd want to - and the Malawi x NL - looks about done to me -Looking Sweet Gypsy the Zamaldelica looks well..As so do the others..
