So you grew out G13 Black widow?
Hi Kp,
My G13W has a little story to it. It was a little older from an auction. It had been stored improperly and I got poor germination rate. One plant. But it was healthy and I nursed it along...and as luck would have it...it was a she. I flowered one plant that was harvested in early July.

It grew like any plant. Normal vigor and none of the need for extra Mg that black widow commonly needs. Bigger buds then a widow and quite gnarly looking. Mine weren't super frosty...but that was grower error. Actually I had to shut down for last part of summer due to heat.

Buds should be cured soon. Tried some of course and it was a little bland but smooth smoke like widow. Got me plenty high too. Mixed head/body. I know it has potential I never tapped with my one plant...one grow experience. Have 4 clones vegging to start soon.

I was always interested in running the real deal white/black widow but not sure which to run. Heard Shanti had the old genetics to work with but heard another story lately. I don't want to run a watered down line.

Kp,
I'll tell you about my experience. Back quite a few years...I purchased some "White Widow" seeds from a place called Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds (AMS...still open) I loved the strain, found a really nice sativa pheno and grew it steady for two years.

Skip ahead a couple decades to my current grow. Remembering my previous WW experience...I bought some Black Widow seeds direct from Mr Nice Auctions.

The interesting thing is that once grown out...the Black Widow grew. smoked and smelled exactly like the widow I had previous grown. My conclusion is that they are the same...ams probably selling shanti gear (or were 15 years ago).

I personally don't follow the breeders as if they were rock stars. I admire the work they do and try to support them as my seed needs arise. I do believe that Mr Nice has the real deal Widow.

Thanks for taking the time to answer JD. We are going to order a pack to run. We have an old cut of white widow but my buddy wants to try something new.

I have a pack and a half of medicine man, and a pack of shit and a pack of nl5xhaze. Anyone growing one of these? I am freaking excited to pop some of these soon.
Have grown both the Medicine man was a crowd favourite for about 3 years in early 2000s so if Shanit still has the same stock then you are in for a treat and same with nl5xhaze. Haven't grown any Shanti strains in years needs to grab me a few starting with shit

Nh is made from Haze C male which is made by two pure haze parents from 1969....then the female side of NH is made from Haze A combined to NL5 or NL5Haze A where Haze A was also made by two pure Haze parents also from 1969

Haze A is no longer alive only Haze C male is along with several other different sativa lines.

but plants with the lineage of Haze A are still alive and carrying the genes within.

SSH is made up of Haze C combined to Skunk 1 or Skunk HzC which is the male side, the female side is Haze C combined to NL5 or NL5HzC

the Mango comes from a parallel cross same as SSH but with one difference

Haze A male combined to Sk 1 or Sk HzA being the male plant, the female is NL5HzC....that is the breeding of those three plants

considering the Haze A is no longer a male alive, it still is alive in the ancestry of some of the plants used in all these breeds

I do not have secrets about breeding but given the same seed batches we could all still create something different...it boils down to selection.

La Nina is the widow father breed to a pure Haze female...neither A or C by the way so I hope that clears up all your doubts once and for all.

These are the two phenos ive picked for a full run 50-50.
Ones still in the tent but is my fav. Gunna chop on sunday- tis all the time it gets. Hoping the clone finishes faster.
The upside down one is hanging. Bit of Purple in her. Faster finisher. Flash washed the stubby away but its nearly the size as the prev choice. Anyone know if the Purple is a wanted trait in a Pink Floyd? Not much info out there on them.

This is MASK (Master Kush x Afghan x Skunk) an unreleased line you had to ask for a while back the seeds were gifted to me by another member to reproduce & i'll be sending half the seeds i make back to him. I got 32 seeds that came in a little yellow straw i got good germ rates 10 of 13 sprouted overnight which is great considering that these seeds maybe nearly 10 years old.

This is just the first batch i'm making & i still have 19 beans to go through for this continuing open pollination project. The strain is very vigorous one of the most vigorous strains ive ever grown & very easy, they showed sex first week of flower & the males were dropping pollen by the end of week 2, all together i got 6 males & 4 females I will be hitting the females in a few days. Just keeping them small i dont need 1000's of seeds just a hundred or so per batch.

seeds arrived in this little yellow sealed straw

That looks like the killer Kush from back in the 80s! Can you please post some close-ups of the seeds?

Thank you this is my theory as well. I was hoping to be wrong. Everyone is hating on Sensi so much these days is there a technical reason they have gone down hill, or is everyone kinda falsely equivicating the right wing push against the dutch coffee shop scene with seed company failure? Or are the two actually related? Think I'm going to get it from Sensi and find out if the strain is still as good an indica for insomnia as I remember from 20 years ago
