Beauties there satva. The punto rojo is your fav right now? How does it stack up to the 1973 Highland Guerrero x Blueberry? I have 2 packs coming so interested now.

Is the punto rojo a must have? I need to stop with all the seed orders but your posts on it make that tough. I have CBG mangobiche seeds, do not recall if you smoked that yet.

My summer season ended a few weeks back, much diminished from previous seasons due to an influx of ripper crews that have made guerrilla growing unviable. I did have one patch of big plants. The standout so far this year without the grace of a cure has been a strain made by my friend using his favourite cut of Mullumbimby Madness x Oaxacan (MOX), which was reversed and put over a stellar White Fire OG. Both these cuts are comparable in power and quality, both offer hard hitting, 4 hour giggly highs, but the WIFI was a real surprise as she was twice the potency of all of her sisters from two packs with a real trippy sativa edge to go with the waves of euphoria in the body and by some distance the strongest commercial pot I've tried.


Where the WIFI is better than the MOX is in flowering time - 9 weeks compared to 14. But the MOX is superior is in taste - sweet citrusy cedar with a hint of tropical funk. So I grew two WOX at home in pots and one of them is astounding, it takes all of the best traits from both plants - taste and trippy power, but with more of both...my first smoke I was lying in the dark with my eyes closed in a blissful reverie when I decided to sit up, only to fall forward as I was already sitting up! Anyway this is WOX - White Fire OG x MM/Oaxacan...

More WOX...

I took a couple of cuts of this outstanding WOX and planted one underneath a stupendous HMxBB male that grew 15 foot before I identified it (says a lot about my skills). It's probably the largest male I've seen anywhere....as it happens I smoke tested this giant HMBB male and it was bloody good and strangely phase shifty for a couple of hours solid, which I think is rare. So here he is HMxBB male with a Malawi x BLB Thai in the background...

The other WOX cut I tried to maintain for a while before I got sick of the necessity of looking after it, when I tend to like being pretty footloose. So in the end I stuck her under a Hmong Thai male which I was pretty lucky to find. The Hmong came from a really generous American fella - Professor77 - who I'm sorry to say passed away recently. Anyway he spent his final decades in Thailand with a Hmong Hill tribe and their favourite cultivar...

I also have some Malawi, MalawixThai (homemade) and some Mullum Oaxacan, which are all gorgeous, but in need of a cure....that's my story brother.

Except for the Laos. Another ridiculously late male, which was too late to hit anything up with, but one I was planning to take a cutting of and hit up my mate's WIFI. Unfortunately I took a fall on the way home and fractured a rib, which has put me out of action for two months, and being a solo traveller, I haven't had anyone to help me out with it. Oh well there's always next year..

And finally (sorry to hijack your thread TB) here's some hazy Mullum Madness cross with a twelve month cure...

And a zip of pure Haze...

Hi Bushy,

Thanks for dropping by, posting pictures, telling stories, and blowing everyone's minds. I will be going back to look at those again and again for quite a while.

Sorry to hear of the passing of your friend. I remember seeing some posts of his somewhere quite a while back. Sounds like he lived a good adventurous life. Good for him.

...my first smoke I was lying in the dark with my eyes closed in a blissful reverie when I decided to sit up, only to fall forward as I was already sitting up!
:laughing:

Sounds great. LOL.

I'm glad you liked the Highland Mexican x Blueberry, as a generous friend made sure I got some of those, thank you very much. So many great reports of that line. I like to hear of the phase shiftiness. Great S.E. Asian and great Mexicans seem to tickle my brain just right.

I'm having a good year so far. I have plants over 7 foot tall already, and July/early August are the months that they grow the fastest. I'll take some pictures in a few weeks, but they still won't look as fine as the plants you grow.
:tiphat:


Ouch! Sorry about the fall.


Hey... Did you ever get a female of the Laos, or ever get to try some smoke from that?

Don't be such a stranger,

ThaiBliss

who better to hijack "The search for Tripweed" than bushweed?

yesum, yes um, Punto Rojo is my favorite. I've been smoking Punto Rojo + 20 weeks all day most everyday for the past 6 months. Punto Rojo has a more cerebral, spiritual, profound, feel good high - for me " as it is" or "as it should be".

1973 Highland Guerrero x Blueberry (HM x BB) ( 13 weeks) high is wild, euphoric, denser, stronger, and more complex due to the WLD influence from BB. HM x BB high is very similar to 1970's Acapulco Gold, especially if you're able to isolate a 1973 Highland Guerrero pheno-type. I had a Guerrero dominate male, I think, I used him alot.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. If I was you, and I'm not, I'd grow your Oaxacan x Colombian Gold and Mangobiche. I'm growing [2010 Copalita x (1980 Colombian Gold x 1960's Jamaican Lambsbread)] to add haze intensity to Copalita Oaxacan and NLD Mexican varieties. I haven't smoked Mangobiche, but plan to grow Mangobiche soon. I'm not sure if Mangobiche has as much diversity in pheno-types as Punto Rojo.

I plan to compare some NLD + 20 week flowering varieties:

Punto Rojo, Mangobiche, Colombian Gold x Jamaican Lambsbread, Old Timers Haze, and Koh Chang Thai. I'm looking for a good Gold Haze (NLD)

Satva, I love your updates and always enjoy seeing what you've got to share, but I think you made a typo. I think Couple months would be more appropriate for that lady. How long have you been flowering this lady for so far may I ask?

Hey Dave, Compared to Thai Stick, Copalita Oaxacan is fast flowering ~ 16 weeks. Lots of pheno-types in Copalta. Punto Rojo 18 - 22 weeks of flowering.

The Copalita shown in mid-late flower was grown indoors, and then moved mostly outdoors in spring, and harvested on the summer solstice with light deprivation 10.5 / 13.5. The stress from indoors to intense sun, (blue summer light wave) hot and dry outdoors often reverses or stalls flowering and resin production and blanches the flowers. Oaxacan, Mexico has a hot and dry climate in the fall harvest season.

Harvests on the winter solstice under glass or south facing windows are much better due to the color and quality of the light. The current Copalita Oaxacan shown, moved the plants outdoors in early flowering with the next harvest on the fall solstice and another harvest on the winter solstice.

I harvest the plants when they are ready and don't keep a detailed timeline, so your probably correct, a few months not weeks.

Its interesting comparing these old school varieties to modern hybrid varieties. Cannabis has been legal in Colorado for 16 years and one of these years, maybe I'll visit a Cannabis Store for the first time and get me some OG Kush ~ or maybe not. I prefer the old school high from the Colombian, Mexican and Thai regional varieties.

Greetings,

I have finished putting up trellises around my plants, which I now know is a few weeks too late. I lost a lot of branches to rapid weak growth and inclement weather. This is only the second year I have used them, and I'm still learning. They are in the ugly phase right now from pulling branches through the holes, but I have some pictures to post anyway. In two weeks it is possible that the trellises won't be visible at all due to the explosive growth usually seen in July and early August.

The taller ones are 10 foot posts, with about 1 foot of each post driven into the ground. The shorter ones are 8 feet tall.

Here is the view of the garden:

All the Best in your Search,

Great posts bushy. I wish long flowering trees were doable OD here.

TB the landscaping is far from ugly friend. The only problem I foresee is where to sit each morning while waking and baking.

Countdown - 6 weeks to forest.
