Hey everybody, I thought its a good time to post up a journal of my Romulan. Enjoy your stay!

She is a polyhyrbid family heirloom. Her smells and tastes consist of Pine, Skunk, Spicy-Pepper, Earthy, Hash, Dank, and a very slight, almost-citrus-funk. She is extremely pungent, and you can smell this girl from the back 40 when she is up front near the house. Very, very potent high. When pulled early at around 56 days, she presents a gentler smoke, and a perfect hybrid high with no anxiety. Clear headed, sativa like stone, that allows for long conversations and quick thinking.

If you pull her at the right time, which depending on your grow is at around 9-10 weeks.. she hits like damned mack-truck.. and will easily knock out any of the light smokers you know. For even heavy smokers she can be often left for right before bed time, but me myself.. I love her taste and extreme high, so I typically smoke her first thing in the morning and all day long.

Many people who have tried her, especially ones that prefer to smoke only dabs, have said that she hits just like a heavy dab and is some of the strongest flower they have ever smoked. I firmly agree, and its why I love this damned plant so freaking much. :bigjoint:

Here is an excerpt from my website, explaining the story of how we are where we are now:

"Our founder grew up in California in the late 70's and early 80's. His father was US Navy Veteran, and also a well connected drug dealer during the 1960-70's. He was, more importantly, also a grower of cannabis. And starting in the late 1960's, his father began a business relationship with a certain motorcycle club. Which soon flourished into him being a main supplier of cannabis, cocaine, and LSD to some of the larger chapters of this club in California. This was the beginning of a loose collection of growers and cannabis breeders, who were all also military veterans and connected to motorcycle clubs from California to British Columbia. They met during camping trips up and down the PNW, and traded seeds, stories, and did their business with their families in tow all while camping out in the woods.

This was eventually how Romulan came to be, but it was first known by a very different name: Port Alberni Pinebud. In California, it was called Pine Mtn. bud among a few other names. But it was all coming from the same source, that group of veterans who grew and met during camping trips together. They started meeting up, and eventually working together on the cannabis they were breeding. It started well before Jake's father got involved, with veterans returning home from the Korean war. They brought back seeds from an amazing strain they had sampled, called Thai. The Korean Thai seeds were grown back home in the BC area, and Norcal area but these veterans found it very difficult to grow in those regions. Eventually when Jake's father and other veterans got involved, they introduced a Mexican sativa into the mix. And later a Colombian landrace was added, most likely Colombian Red, in the late 1970's. Eventually an Afghani Indica was bred in, but they did not like the results entirely, so they back crossed it with the Colombian Red again before they found what they were looking for. This original set of F1 seed stock are what brought P. Alberni Pinebud, P.A. Purple, and other notable strains to come from that region at that time. It was also at around this time, that Federal Agencies began to crack down on this groups members and their activities. This forced them to no longer meet together, and pushed the resulting strains and growers into more remote areas.

But that still doesn't cover how it became Romulan, and the last interesting connection to our founder Jake. "Romulan Joe" is who brought the strain to the masses initially. Most everyone knows this part of the story, but many also get things mixed up. Joe was not a Vietnam veteran, he was too young for that. His family owned a Nursery in Southern California, the same Nursery that Jake's father frequented to get his supplies. Joe worked at his families nursery when he was young, and a teen. He often helped load trucks, and generally help customers out once they had paid. This over time developed a friendship and connection, and eventually led to Joe getting a hold of a cutting of what he later named Romulan. Joe cloned his cut for years, and that is where the Romulan part of the story began. But he acquired that cut from either our founders father or someone close to him. Unlike what most rumors spread over the years have said, the true source of Romulan was never from a Vietnam Veteran, Oakland Biker, turned Emerald Triangle OG... it was from a group of growers, that were all veterans first and foremost, and also bikers, that spread from Vancouver, B.C. to California.

That exact strain, was Joe's and Joe's only and it should be noted that the specific "Joe's Cut Romulan" has essentially been lost to time as currently no known growers/breeders still have his original and pure, cloned plant alive. What we grow here, is very similar to Joe's cut of Romulan, but not the exact same thing.. rather it is a slightly different phenotype from the same familial generation. Our prized mother plant, and "cut", differs in that she has larger yields and her flavor has more complexity involving a skunkiness with her pine."

I'm gonna grab a cut once Dark Heart puts them out.

Wondering about the seeds.. Have you grown out the S1's yet yourself, and if so how do they compare to your cut? Also do you plan on a reg bx version? Wouldn't mind some pollen if the genetics are good.

Cool.

Yes I have. The seeds are amazing, better than the cut I feel. We have regs on our website currently.

So happy to finally be at this point after years of work. :)

Feminized and Regular Seeds are finally available of our Romulan, and of course like I've mentioned Dark Heart Nursery has also just began releasing clones of our cut as well all over California.

Next up on my list of plans is some crosses, involving Romulan obviously.. both fem'd and reg seeds, and most on this list will drop near the end of this year, starting in about 60 days or so.

Here is the list:

"Ring Of Fire" - Landrace and semi-landrace, double polyhyrbid.
(Hawaiian x Alaskan x Kandahar x Hindu) x (Thai x Colombian x Mexican x Afghani)

"Alien Bacon" - (The HOG x Romulan)

"Berry Alien Cookies" - (Forum Cut GSC x Purple Panty Dropper) x Romulan

"Cosmic Melon" - (Sherbert x Watermelon Kush) x Romulan

"Looney Tunes" - (Old Thai x Old Afghani) x Romulan

"Galactic Gushers" - (Grapestomper x Durban Poison) x Romulan

"Alien Kush Cream" - (Gelato x OG Kush) x Romulan

"Lemon-Lime Icing" - (OG Kush x Gelato x Frost) x Romulan

"Juicy Froots" - (Bubblegum x Romulan)
