Hey ThaiBliss, you have any idea what Bushy is talking about?
high lacked a bit of existential warmth
Isn't all existentialism cool!
I use your Bushman Jamaican photos to identify 1960 Jamaican Lambsbread phenotypes in ColJam. I hope you froze Bushman pollen.
"You have me soo sold on ColJam. "
Also, you should feel a bit nervous about ColJam! Hope to flower both Colombian Gold and Jamaican Lambsbread phenotypes next time.
yoss33, high ceiling and unfinished bowls on ColJam. Didn't take long for my brother to put down the ColJam pipe.
I have grown the Kumaoni and Lebanese from real seed and neither were trippy but both were good. I preferred the Lebanese of the two, the Kumaoni had a higher CBD % with a mild euphoric high. I would think that to find a trippy pheno would require a large plant count as I've grown only a few seeds that were all very similar.Anyone have much experience with the Himalayan strains from Real Seed? Supposed to have trippy qualities.
That'd "everything is right with the world" feeling I have found often comes from indica sativa hybrids. Like you often refer to sage and other hybrid plants. The thing I find strange is these discussions often turn into a landrace sativa convention or only focusing on the sativa aspect because the bar like becomes set in the sativa direction. What I am saying is don't rule out the indica component. It may be that it is the indica component that gives strains the "everything is right In the world feeling" by providing a warm gooey center to a clear headed high that might feel cold without that indica component.
So I think it is important to think in terms of like ingredients in a stew don't completely rule out indica's as I once heard "There's still meat on that bone. add a potato a few carrots and Baby you got a stew going!"
For example a few indica dominant plants I can think of that provide that everything's right off the top of my head are yumboldt and deep chunk they don't give you that drooling dorito stained fimgers stereotypical indica stone. Just very relaxing and warm, apeaerently x18 is the same deal. I think one of those crossed to something like Apollo 11 smart weed pheno and boom there it is. The thing is Apollo 11 on its own I find cold and yumboldt on its own is very dreamy and lacks focus. Its like in cooking you have to mix the flavors to balance each other out. To find the "sativa Afghani genetic equilibrium". Satva gave you some good examples from the sativa end you already have a few hybrids and I've given you a few indica suggestions.
I'm not tellin anyone to add lead to their grows, but ironically when I was doin the lead experiment another grower was doin mercury and came up with similar results. Seems it's not just one heavy metal but most of em that invoke a genetic response from the plants. And what if my hypothesis about leaded pot being a cure for cancer is correct? This study was done in 1974 (the year we switched to unleaded gas) once the findings were released our guberment shut it downThere are PLENTY of people who think outside the box without veering into health hazard territory. I want to give the plant a BETTER place in society, not put it out back with lead, or explody butane (not you), extra UV, (yeah it's BAD you know) or any other possible HAZARD to human health. If you like your stuff that's fantastic, but if I ever find someone giving me weed with extra lead... I'' likely end up in jail for OTHER reasons.
Anaerobic fermentation has a long history. Mostly good... there are some really friggin NASTY bugs that can occur. Check out the possible bugs is my suggestion. .
Again, have at it and enjoy your experiments, but trying to get others on board with ....you already know.
LMFAO, I'm open to all sorts of things. I have a UV bulb or order . I'm not for making an inherently safe plant unsafe. I just think it's a misrepresentation to say others don't think outside the box just because they don't follow YOU. There are a thousand ways to skin a cat that don't involve spattering it with heavy metals.
Honestly my hat's off to your testing with you as a guinea pig, but firmly back on when you tell people they should follow your lead. (pun intended)

(pun intended) I only come back to this thread every month or so and you're seemingly playing pied piper , "follow me to great weed! (and premature senility, narcolepsy and death)"
I should probably have said I have a good friend who got heavy metal poisoning from remodeling old houses in the north east. She has narcolepsy as a result. Actually it had been diagnosed as narcolepsy and recently switched to metal poisoning. YMMV and make of it what you will.
EDIT: i don't believe weed has gotten weaker, I believe our tolerance is up . But I smoke my own selections vs. what johnny down the street sells. I don't like your basic "indica" type weed...at least not as much as up stuff.

I crossed the Lebanese to Ace's Golden Tiger and the result was very nice
