Where Are The Pure Sativa Strains At?!

[poplars]

i told you poplars. pop those seeds i gave you!

still in myfreezer frozen WILL DO.... I'll have to have you help me remember which ones were the pure mexi and which ones were the cross... but that shouldn't be too hard.


hope I get a female, if not I'll just cross the male into whatever sativa I got going this year

the couchlock wasn't really a full body lock as much as the worst case of lead eye ever. i just wasn't expecting ANY kind of couchlock, especially in pre-flower. it's cool if you have aspergers. i'll try to make a mental note to take the blunt stuff with a grain of salt. really, it looks like you came to more or less the same conclusion as me, though i wasn't aware leaves' THC degrades faster than buds'. remember too, the leaves turned seriously yellow like the plant was about to die twice. that could have interrupted THC development and sped up degredation. i'm just going to wait until i have the time & space to try IBLs again and stick with hybrids. there's some pretty decent gear out there that works for me & i'mreally liking the sound of the panama red & black haze. i hope that maybe a breeder like ace seeds or world of seeds picks one or both up and does something with them fresh genetics like that would be really nice to see on the market as so much out there now is just reshuffling the original dozen or so dutch strains.

In a previous post you state how "STONY" Skunk is, yet you grew a skunk cross and are confused with its stoniness... Someone fill me in here

huh? WTF are you talking about? i'm not confused at all about haze skunk's MILD lead eye. where did you get that impression? i was initially "confused" that at even just 25%, afghani was STILL stomping the skunk #1 buzz and that you have to cut it in half again to just 12.5% in haze skunk to get something actually acceptable. the stone in haze skunk is perfectly acceptable. it's just in the eyelids and the motivation of the sativas FINALLY breaks through. it's my favorite strain so far.

there's no skunk in full moon. it's pure highland thai complete with the tutti fruity flavor still intact. it has ALL of the fussy thai traits... painfully slow flowering, stretchiness & even being hermie prone. everything about it is totally in character except the serious lead eye i got out of it at the start of flowering, but i've asked someone who's finished it and got a confirmation that it is in fact trippy.

if anything really confused me, it would be how even skunk #1 could smoke better than highland thai. it just makes no sense.

i swear some people are reading a different language than i'm speaking and know at least one person likes to twist my words and take them out of context. i have no idea WTF you're talking about with skunk in full moon. it's a true IBL.

 

[billcollector99]

the THC profile was extremely stony, way more than skunk #1 & blueberry ever wanted to be,

Not twisting words just reading what you write.

Thats a interesting smoke report for "start of flowering"

Mind giving us other smoke reports at the "start of flowering" I am sure you will be the only one on the internet with that great information.

the 2 that were together is the mexicanXsativa cross. and the three together is the pure mexican. the mexican cross i call M1 and its very vigorous.

very interesting so either way it's pure sativa... do you know much about the sativa cross?? thanks again for these I hope they both germ well.

if you ever smoked leaflet trim, you'd KNOW it isn't shabby USUALLY. all of the banzai i've smoked beats the living shit out of ANYTHING i've wasted money on since the 80s. even the first time i did it with a full range of bagseed that was at least 50% hybrids & indicas, there wasn't any couchlock to speak of. unless you've ever actually smoked some early leaf, shut the fuck up & get a life already troll.

i didn't WANT to cut the thai down either. i HAD TO because it turned tranny and was spraying my garden. didn't they teach you how to read in elementary school? i just didn't want the MONTHS of stress transplanting it twice and waiting for it to go into flowering to be a waste AND i was expecting no worse than a typical leaf smoking experience.

if you think my whole point in growing it and waiting MONTHS to cut it down right when it STARTED flowering, you are even more fucking stooopid than you act.

 

[dababydroman]

the m1s should germ for sure. and all i know about the father plant is that the seed came from some sativa looking bud that i distinctivly remember packing a lil head punch.
and the mother was mexican frosty and had a wonderful fruity smell..

hopefully the puremexi beans sprout well also though that should be the intresting part.

 

[hazey grapes]

i'd love to see a smoke report on mexcom bagseed. you KNOW it's going to smoke better with care than it did all stomped on

 

[poplars]

yep I'm gonna definitely be paying close attention to them and babying em hope I get a pure mexi female and male...that would be the best case scenario...

 

[dababydroman]

thats exactly what i was thinking that would be very cool. they would cross pretty well since they could be from different feilds or maybe even regions.. doubt they are sibling seeds.

There is a pure sativa strain sitting in my fridge... waiting for lights... I feel bad for them... they have been waiting months...

May take 14 or so weeks of flowering to finish... I know some people don't have the patience for it... but I'm happy to wait for a pure sativa high...

Even gonna get some UV lights to add for it... cause that may help...

make sure you make seeds just in case it turns out to be something awesome.

 

[Shannon Alexander]

Will do... Will do...

 

[hazey grapes]

it doesn't just take patience to grow LRs (i'm trying to stop saying IBLs as i was taught the wrong definition), you need to give them plenty of space, soil & light. i WOULD have plenty of patience to grow the best stuff possible, but ONLY if i had something else to smoke for the half year or more it takes to finish that stuff.

if you only have 2 beans, then get something else you can cross them to like sativa seeds' oaxican or even a haze in case you get two gals or two males. then, you can just back cross 3 generations or so to get some 87.5% whatever with the other 12.5% being something much more compatable than freakin' afghani. man does it ever piss me off when breeders cross sativas with indicas & hybrids instead of other sativas.

there are still people getting mexican commercial in the midwest from what i've heard. with all of the indoor action these days, i bet it doesn't make it far across the border. i haven't seen any since the mid 90s.

I bet increased border scrutiny after 9/11 has reduced the volumes somewhat, but the Mexican drug cartels are definitely still growing it, and at least some of it has to be making it up North. See this interesting article from just a few months ago:

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2011/07/are-we-sure-mexicos-largest-marijuana-farm/40015/

According to the article, Mexico is still the world's largest producer of commercial marijuana, and they're still growing it by the ton.

I'm curious if the commercial Mexican stuff from the mid/late 1990s is qualitatively different than that grown there today.

I've heard that the Mexican growers have incorporated indica genetics into their formerly pure sativa strains to get earlier harvests, but I can't personally say whether this is true or not, or if so, when they did it. If it is true, then current commercial seeds would probably be quite a bit less interesting than older ones.

I ask because one of my old pals tells me he's recently found a stash of older bag seeds from around '97-98, almost certainly Mexican, and they're still viable.

Any value to those?

 

[dababydroman]

centimental value maybe

 

[dababydroman]

some pure mexi growin outside under low sunlight levels.. seeing as the season is over.

 

[Dizzle Frost]

i got some Nevilles Haze i wanan pop....but i dunno if im ready for 14-16 weeks of flowering right now

dababaydroman...that mexican looks pretty good
