The drier coffee regions of Costa Rica, to live the Pura Vida!Where you headed exactly ThaiBliss?
I haven't had the pleasure, yet. Very few can even hold a candle to it. It's almost ridiculous to hope to compare. It's not the same as today, but stronger. It was intensely potent, but also a completely different high. You want to compare, but can you compare acid to alcohol? No! Thai Stick was the high water mark of Cannabis, in my opinion and the opinions of many others who were lucky to experience it.Thaibliss have you had a chance to smoke some good Lesotho or transkei? Would appreciate to hear how they stack up against good Thai.
LOL. It just happens to coincide with things I want to do anyway, but growing good ganja is always in the equation.Now that is what i call "comitment to the cause"
I concur, VISC Burmese is a fantastic smoke, not Thai stick quality but pretty damned good!
Peace

Now that's an adventure. Wow. I'm not built for that. LOLhola TB.......had kin in coffee region 70’s......we’re setting up shop.....drove 60’s Ford straight 6 /3-tree van down multiple times....remember paneling inside of.....smuggling guns etc......was a rough go of it....primitive compared to today..........
best in quest amigo.....ganj on....
thanks so much for that man, I've read loads of your posts and always felt you were very much on point. Seems most of the easily available seeds from breeders all tend to be bred away from the heart thumping fun stuff which is a bit sad because those are the memories I remember the most, "kind" weed is nice but you need a bit of extra pazazz for the stuff to really give your brain a bit of a work out and get your neurons firing!! Introspection isn't a bad thing, it's one of the many things I loved about acid, it made you stronger in the end, I wasn't a fan of ecstacy, felt too fake after the first few times.The drier coffee regions of Costa Rica, to live the Pura Vida!

I'd could list these as legends that were comparable, but are also mostly gone:
Neville's Haze Acid Pheno that I grew 16+ years ago.
Jamaican Ganja from the 70's never to be seen, by me, again since the mid 70s.
Sumatran which I've only had once for a few pleasurable months in the early 70s.
It starts to drop off seriously after those but honorable mentions would be Hawaiian, Mexican Red Hair, both last seen in the late 70s or early 80s. Then many of the Colombian strains that so many loved. To be fair, they only became popular when the Mexican and Jamaican sources took a dump and became weak and narcotic. That's the truth of it. But I like my weed as cerebral, clean, euphoric, and as trippy as possible, even if it is a terrifying adrenaline rush for the first hour. You laugh your ass off for the next three hours at how you thought the police were chasing you and how you had to face all your other fears. All that melts away the more you smoke it and it's all pleasure when you can control your ninny self.
Cambodian Red was not especially strong, but such fine quality. In my opinion, kind, easy to enjoy clean strains can still be found. I love the right selection of Bangi Haze. VISC Burmese is very nice. You can get blasted by these, but you have to smoke a joint. The Thai Stick was great at one, two, or three hits, a completely different level of potency. Three hits of Thai Stick could change someone's life.
It's been downhill ever since, but I would have to say that I've acquired a few good Cali and Oregon strains that were special. They got hoarded or outcrossed out of existence, at least for me. I'm guilty also. That is my big heartbreak, because they were bred to be earlier AND still great highs. They were lightly crossed to indica and probably backcrossed to the original sativas. Very rare finds. People afterwards just kept crossing to more indica, or made bad selections for quality of high. Selections were made for entirely commercial reasons, and the great genetics were lost, just like in Mexico and Jamaica, etc. Greed and commercialization killed it all. This thread has been my soapbox for this, and my cry for help in finding the old genetics. It's also a warning if you think the strain you love today will always be around without your help. You need to preserve it, and improve it through inbreeding.

The photos a few posts up inspired me to post my girl here in hopes of some feedback. This is a Neville's Haze on 119f. Can anyone give me an idea of how much longer she has to go?
My life expectancy is only a few more decades, and I'm hoping to see this plant finish before then.

The LiuHann pollen came from MadMac the Nevils is a special cut from a friend. It has been with resin since a seedling. It looks like Thai Stick, just missing the stick. Hope the princess smokes as good as she looks. Smells like hashy gunpowder smoke.
Thanks for the Viet mythology
Her sisters look like open growth Nevils plants.

chances are thats a defective pheno caused by inbreeding the Neville's haze
Thanks, @DarkStorm and @vinrusso.
It was an old freebie from Seedsman that's been in the vault for 4 or 5 years, so I know nothing about it's genealogy. I just figured I'd pop it while it was still viable. I didn't expect to end up with The Eternal Shrubbery. I'm stubborn though, and I want to see this bitch through to the end.
I'd been gradually decreasing the light period up until 100f when I got PO'd and cut it to 8/16. I also decreased the light intensity considerably to try to kickstart a finish.
Temps are between approx 18-26C.
Defective pheno???
Probably not an F1, but maybe an F2 and, regardless of filial generation, clearly a nearly pure haze expression. Remember Nevil's story about his First Haze plant that flowered forever and that he eventually discarded, only to regret it later and for the rest of his life? That's what I see.
I'd be patient and hit a few selected branches with some sativa pollen. Seeds and plant should be ready by the equinox.
Not yet, it's a small plant in only 2 gallon pot.you managed to test this out yet(smoke it)
