Gotta love that BSHW structure. Those BSHW x Oaxaca 79 Skull cross seeds I've got are calling to me, but I don't have a spot for them for at least a half year off.


So many seeds, so little time. Where did you source the BSHW, the coastal release?

yes it comes from Kagyu from Coastal seeds, but I got it from friend, who got it from Indican from Sinister seeds, who got it from Griot from Flying fish farms :D I guess I have F15 generation probably.. moved few generations from Coastal seeds version. everybody talks very highly about uniqueness of this line.. but it is definitely hybridized with some wld.. if it is so good like everybody says, I will work it and make it more narrow..

just cant find any initial attack in my post?




if my opinion that "any NL5hz cant provide multiple dimensionality like pure narrow leaf variety could.." attacks you, then I know who is sociopath - also its clear you are ont of those trolls who signed to icmag every month with new nickname LOL, and I can assure you that there are more people who have same opinion about NL5hz..

I have nothing against Nevil. I just found out his words to be bullshit, thats all haha


Ok, dude, whatever...
Haters will hate...
I'm done sweating it.

yeah thats what I am talking about, sour diesel + good sativa makes some trippy stuff..

sour diesel x bangi hz View Image

sour diesel x neville´s haze, better than neville´s haze!!! View Image


I took one of my 5hz hybrids to the ECSD cut, nice cross, definitely improved Diesel(weakened my haze though)...

But look what happens when I take 5hzC to Nevils Haze:

To each their own I suppose, its really a matter of taste.

liars and posers will lie and pose.


I'm a liar, Nevil is a liar....So is anyone who asserts that Nevil's work is their favorite.

Why the Hostility?

What did that Neville's haze you smoked do to you my friend?
Only time I've seen people react so negatively to Nevil's work is when they had a bad experience with it. It's OK dude, we are all in this together. Just remember, it wasn't real. It was all in your head...

If Bonk or you decided to liberate those clones it must have been for a good reason, and the fact you’ve decided to share them with many people before all this, speaks highly about you indeed. But you contradicted yourself too, because if everyone’s ultimate goal was only getting Nevil’s genetics reaching people as the gift they were, why not keep doing something like Joesy did with the GG#4 for example? Anyone could send thousands of seeds to the Seed Bay too or create an IG profile and become viral in just days, if that was really the goal. Instead of having an elite circle of seed makers having certain control over those cuts and serve their own interest. That would make sense if they were holding their own cuts or work I guess. But obviously and despite you say you had a different goal, most of them have a different interest and just want to cash on Nevil's name and legacy, that's crystal clear, but let’s agree to disagree. No drama really, no need to discredit anyone or turn it into a fight. Just different points of view and a reminder that not everyone is so naive about it. But hey, we are all Haze lovers after all!

I am not naive either and I can see that all this behaving, like cashing on other people work, was settled by Nevil as gold standard for all seedmakers which followed after him. in this sense he is really godfather of seedbizz how we know it today. so if they hype a5 cut, they just follow his example, 1 .get other people work somehow 2. cross it without any idea of more working it, 3. hype it, 4. quickly sell it - very similar pattern
haze was very well known term before he was selling his hybrids, and he was calling his NL5haze a "haze", which is, in my eyes, cashing on other people´s work or name, and straight up lying and pure HYPE as you know as me, it is only 50% haze at its best - you say it all about c5 already anyway.. using and selling skunk1 in same way, while even disrespecting people who provided him genetic material - I know you love titans haze cut, but according to hype created by Nevil titans haze is total crap :D as it doesn't contain C or A... that is all hype style coming from him, in this regard some hype created by today seedmakers, compared to hype created by Nevil, is really weak tea..

what I found really interesting :D my friend, and I am really proud of calling you my friend, is that you dont grow any Nevil´s gear........................ even you got seeds straight from him.. it seems that Nevil´s hype has no impact at you and you have better gear, in the end I know it as I got some good stuff from you. and I congratulate you. initially I wanted to keep it privately, but I think people should know real truth, regardless if some internet trolls will get mixed emotions from it. haha :D. thanks.

you are known as AstroTHC, jrelax and I cant remember all those nicknames you had.. next month you will have new nickname.. any of your post can affect me anyhow haha :D stop trolling please. you dont have real ECSD or real HAZE and dont know what you are talking about.. I dont want to look for those posts where you was jrelax and admitted all those psychic problems you have. I am not your therapist, this thread is not your therapy.. I am not interested in you, I am interested in B boys :D so you know what you can kiss my.. you know what haha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWFGDtbKjdI&list=PL0xXGZWysIyYkeRrX6WAPxIy9-J6TACi8&index=24

It's my Gear now bro... Bought it from Nevil for like $100 or something. But I like to give credit where credit is due.

Edit: For the record, I've never posted on here under any other handle. This is my first time on here. Never heard of any of those, and WTF is B Boys?
Titans Haze? No Idea man...



I post on here for purely academic reasons, I am obsessed with Haze, what can I say...

hi OCS,

We had tripweed kind of like that when we were kids, a friend of mine used to steal it from his dad, he only got a tiny bit, so no one would notice. He would load us each a single decent hit, and we would hold it for as long we could. It was super fruity, very light green, like bright neon green, huge calyxes, Hawaiian in mid 80s. We used to call it cartoon bud, and referred to the high as "cartoonland".
It had the same effect on everybody, it made everything look like a cartoon, and you could literally piss your pants laughing just because people's face looked so goofy. It had the same effect on everyone who smoked it. Never smoked anything like it before or since. I would say it was literally like a visual hallucination.
How would you describe the visuals on the stuff you got in the 70s?

I grew Thai plants in the 80's from seeds I got in Thailand and every now and then one would stand out and have that same "cartoonish" high you described....the colors would seem over saturated, it was very trippy, very happy, lots of energy...still very memorable!

and of course, I had lots of seeds to play with so I didn't keep clones or re-veg the one in a hundred with the keeper high...I gave lots of seeds away and still grew these Thais and crosses for many years, while growing other strains.

But I never got another "cartoon" plant with the happy "technicolor" high....the only "Thai" seed I have now are 25% crosses I made with Dutch seeds and these are over 20 years old now. The moral of the story is if you come across something outstanding, do your utmost to keep it going!


Happy growing!

I understand your point but I certainly disagree, never ever in the last 20 years there has been so much diversity of exotic seeds available to the growers as is today. Anyone with interest or curiosity can have access to dozens of different Haze, Thai, Mexican, African, Pakistan or you just name it type of genetics to play with! Actually it was much more difficult back then, even less variety... you really needed to travel, or get connected, prove yourself and get respected both in order to know the right people and have access to certain genetics and so on.

Now it's totally the opposite, I could get many of this amazing seeds almost from the scratch... there are even African, Indian or South American growers having IG account and trading local seeds no one would have access to otherwise, or people scouting for rare kush seeds all ove Pakistan and Afghanistan in order to sell them. This would sound ridiculous about 10 years ago. It may have been elitist back then, now just not anymore! Even travelling became more affordable for anyone nowadays, no longer an elite thing to travel to Mexico or Thailand and score some bagseeds. Information and networking is also readily available, there are more resources than ever at people’s hands, you don’t even need to move from your sofa now. ;)



Yosemite Sam, none of my posts were actually directed towards you nor anyone who I’ve had beef with… I think you are missing the whole point and perspective by feeling pointed and trying to justify your decissions or anyone else’s as you try to discredit a personal opinion. Don’t bend the truth, you know what's my position and you also know very well that I know the difference between cashing in and trying to sustain your livelyhood in an honest way like you’ve said (which I highly support).

I believe all this Haze clone hype was started by Karma G indeed, right after he acquired the A5 Haze clone. That was when Nevil was still between us, in fact we’ve discussed about it several times:



Nevil wasn’t impressed nor pleased with all this moves, but he didn’t care much, as he always used to say: “even if you give the same ingredients to three different chefs, they always will come up with three different dishes”.

Karma was already taking control over the A5 in order to be the first releasing hybrids and take advantage on such elusive and tightly held clones. Did he actually had more right or legitimacy to do than anyone else? I don't think so. Karma was only working making clones for Breda Crew from 2002 to 2004 and he always stayed away from the group, in his very own words. And finally suddenly after Nevil passed away we see him selling A5 S1 and such? Really? And all this latest Southern Holland Haze crew thing? Same with the other companies chucking on the clones. Even some who never had an interest on Hazes and now chase those clones too like it happens with any hyped, awarded and highly shought after cut. I wonder why is that? Obviously because it’s great for marketing, it just attracts more customers, that’s what comercial seed makers rely on in order to sell, the new and most profitable clones from each season over having their own unique breeding projects. How that’s not cashing on then?? I think it’s pretty evident and blatant. Some people said recently all seems like an oportunistic and strategic move and I'm 100% sure about that. One thing is giving props or credit to the Breda crew for his involvement with Nevil (yet the timing and following events may appear oportunistic all of the sudden) and what I’m speaking about is another different one.

If Bonk or you decided to liberate those clones it must have been for a good reason, and the fact you’ve decided to share them with many people before all this, speaks highly about you indeed. But you contradicted yourself too, because if everyone’s ultimate goal was only getting Nevil’s genetics reaching people as the gift they were, why not keep doing something like Joesy did with the GG#4 for example? Anyone could send thousands of seeds to the Seed Bay too or create an IG profile and become viral in just days, if that was really the goal.

No drama really, no need to discredit anyone or turn it into a fight. Just different points of view and a reminder that not everyone is so naive about it. But hey, we are all Haze lovers after all! :good:

The funny thing is that many amateur growers within the community have been growing and playing with the Haze for years. The recent example of Mac comes to mind… proving how even growers with very little resources but a lot of passion and motivation can do a very nice job, both preserving and trying to renew the Haze with fresh genes, as well as sharing gems with more people who have passion for the Haze legacy. Maybe this is the type of people we should be supporting instead of encouraging and providing tools for the industry sharks who just want to provide a response to a market demand, but without much substance or passion behind, only the desire to put seeds in the market and make the most of Nevil’s fame and name in this case and cash on stuff they don't even deserve. Proving they simply have more interest on taking advantage on the genetics name and status, than the genetics themselves.

Last but not least, I believe we need informed people with critical thinking within the community, people who stay independent or don’t have a commercial agenda and try to educate. Just like it happens within the film, wine, music industry or even politics, where critics, experts and experienced members analyze what’s going, the good, the bad and often provide insight to those who miss the details from the insiders. Cannabis scene shouldn’t be an exception and I truly believe the sooner we get an International Cannabis Breeder’s Association or something like that, providing guidelines and evaluating the seed market independently (as well as standard regulations for judging Cannabis cups, lab sampling and so on), the better.

Time to move on for me. :tiphat:

Cheers.

I haven't been on the boards for a long while, Best post I've read in years, couldn't of said it better myself.

Thanks Fermented, same to you, that certainly sounds like good advice.
So many different trippy highs, love my haze, but it would be so nice to sample some of those other trippy weeds from my childhood and an era that is gone.

I crossed a romulan grapefuit which has thai ancestry im sure with my poineapple thai from 707. Smoked a little partially cured bud and tried to watch a mark knopfler live video...the shaking of the camera and out of focus scenes really bugged me. I think a little more and visuals would have been great. Hoping the cure helps. I heard thai sfrains need a long cure? Is that true?

You're right, Thai strains need long everything!

They veg way longer than most strains, very long branch internode spacing, have an extremely long duration flowering and benefit from a long, slow cure as the high becomes way more psychoactive, trippier, after 3 months or more of storage..but I find this applies to all long flowering, "landrace" sativa type plants, not just Thais....but on the other hand, the high from a well grown Thai that is harvested when fully mature will have a very long high duration that comes in waves over several hours which differs from other strains. The best Thai I grew was a runt that grew very slowly and stunted...the high was very trippy and as soon as I smoked it I cursed that I didn't dig it up and tried to reveg it...regrets? I've got a few, but none greater than not cloning or revegging that little runty Thai.

Many Thai plants and buds I've seen online have obviously been picked way too early (I've pointed this out at Overgrow numerous times and it didn't go over well) I know, because I too used to harvest Thais early, then I got smart and waited...the best advice when growing Thais for the first time is when you think it's ready, wait 2 months (I'm serious here!) then harvest. If you grow Thais like it's a slow version of a 8 ~ 12 week flowering modern hybrid, then you will probably be disappointed in the high (or you will clean the car, the house and the garage! lol). Thais that I've grown flower in waves over 4 ~ 5 months. It might look done at 3 months but the high will be dull or weak, but if you wait until the plant is fully mature and the high will be way "higher" and more satisfying. If your Thai buds are "airy, loose and leafy with grassy taste" then you probably should of waited way longer before harvesting.

Thais grown in the bush in the sub-tropics will veg and then gradually get into flowering mode when all the modern hybrids have been harvested. If planted early in the year, you will get big plants but will need to wait until January or February until they have reached peak harvest. Some Thais will mature in December, but from memory I don't think that the early finishing plants had the same depth of high that the longer flowering plants had. I shake my head when I read about growers crossing Thais, Hazes etc and throwing away clones or seed lines that flower "too" long......in my experience, the longer flowering examples are where the trippier highs come from, but you need to have the climate to grow them.

You can plant Thais right up until late Summer (as they won't finish until early Spring...you'll get smaller plants, so start more of them!. Unlike many sativas and hazes, the Thais I grew were virtually leafless at harvest apart from a few single and triple bladed bud leaves (all the fan leaves would have yellowed and dropped a month or so previously).

Thais will also drop seed easily too, the covering of the seed (the seed bract) is partially open (you can see the seed) not fully enclosed like many modern hybrids (and those strains from temperate climate zones which need to hold the seed encased and dry until next Spring to germinate), so when seeding Thais, it's best to pop out the dark ones as they mature or you will lose them on the ground (or spread a tarp on the ground and shake each branch when they are dark colored and the first few are loose in the bracts. If you have only seeded just one branch (as I often "lightly" did) you can bag the branch and shake it vigorously to catch the seeds. All the Thai seeds I produced were very small ~ small in size, regardless if the plant had a thousand or twenty seeds on it. Btw Many of the seeds will still be retained by the bracts after harvesting , drying and curing, not all fall out on the tree while growing, just some, which is a survival tactic developed by these wild plants.

During really wet, humid weather in the month leading up to harvest, seeds have germinated in the bud (which is pretty weird seeing for the first time)....more than several times I've picked out just germinated seedlings from buds (ten feet in the air!)....but this was during extraordinarily rainy Dec ~ Feb. I found that Thais were the last strains to mold or be affected by roof lifting storms Thais have very flexible branches) and also do better during long periods of no rain as they are semi-wild.

Btw I haven't grown any full blooded Thais for 25 years...I remember that about one in twenty females had a 25% better/stronger high and about one in 100 had a high that you never forget...but the most frustrating thing about Thais are hermies...I'd start 20 seeds, 5 ~ 8 would be males, then 25% ~ 50% of the females would show male flowers, this could happen any time from when they first show sex in the Fall to a few weeks from harvest or any time in between, sometimes just a few here and there, sometimes full on hermie crazy and other times just on a branch or two (though often these plants would gradually have more hermies) If I saw any hint of hermie Thai, I'd cut it down immediately....it's very frustrating to cut down a 12 footer in November or December that is 5 or 8 weeks from harvest!, but it happens and you have to! Just allow for it and don't count your chickens until dinner time. Out of 20 , it's not unusual to harvest only 3 ~ 5 females.

One thing is for sure, if you grow Thais, you can grow anything!
I might dig through my seed box and start some Thai crosses, hopefully, one of them has that Disney technicolor cartoon high happening!

"Chock deee" (Thai for "Good luck") & Happy growing!

Hey, sorry for the long winded, of topic rant dragged up from memory lane about growing Thais from bag seed sourced in Thailand in the 80's and 90's......red wine and a few hits on the vape will do that to me lol.

Btw probably the trippiest bud I've ever grown and smoked (which I think I mentioned previously on this thread) was from a packet of Zamal I got from Gypsy's "Seed Boutique" shop in Amsterdam (then I made hundreds of seeds from and grew them for many years, gave 100's away, crossed them with several hazes, and numerous Dutchies)...the high made me feel I was detached from my body and floating above myself looking down and feeling really good about it!)...and then later I would sometimes have the feeling that I was a Zulu warrior with a spear in my hand jogging off to battle with a thousand others (yep, that trippy!) which is hilarious especially when you consider that I'm an old white guy ha!

Trippy hash exists too, but from my experience, it's really rare to get tripping hash. I've made very clean dry sifted hash made from sativas and thats the jar you keep reaching for and it was excellent, a real brain zinger but it's wasn't tripping hash ...but I did get some once, I scored it in Hongkong in the early 90's, I just bought enough for a few days, had one smoke of it and went back and bought all he had (and ounce) and smuggled it back. It looked like dark, hard honey and lifted me higher and trippier and better than any hash I've ever made or bought or tried....a piece half the size of a grain of rice would efff you up into trippsville with very positive feelings, the scent was beautiful....it was probably Himalayan, maybe Nepalese? who knows? maybe it from one of the 'stans just west of China.

When it comes to buying any bud or hash, it's been my experience that if you come across anything that is truly exceptional, buy as much as you can safely afford because really great bud that zings your brain in the right way is a rare thing, especially when travelling....because if you don't, when you go back for more, it will be all gone.
