I don't know if you've seen this yet, but it was just announced on IG that Gas and Snow High are going to do some collaborative work, this is beyond exciting news! I'm super stoked and sure you will be too.

Here goes, smell is not extraordinary and under scope trichome's are spaced apart, but every time I fill a pipe fingers are covered in dry white kief. Calyx are blue/purple which I usually have associated with overdone plants. A mild and mellow smoke when inhaled.
Smoke is a sneaker, builds from back of eyes and wraps around, very clear headed though. More of an eye opener, the more I smoke the more I feel effects. I am really happy about results or just really happy.

I have 8 BOH beans soaking in water for my next run.
I also just hit my keeper Blackwater with some Nigerian Sunshine pollen. I may send a few of my NS BMR pheno through a hydro bubble bucket run just to see what these do when they get a harder push.
Goofing around and having fun doing it.

They recently removed their Facebook presence. Register on his website for the new forums there and they will make it right. You can also email Gas just like you did for your order.hello everyone
have you had any negative experiences with them?
i ordered seeds from swami at black friday, i don't receive anything until now. when clarified my payment, they stopped responding on my emails, also blocked me in facebook messenger and removed from ''swami organic seeds'' group. I am disappointed I dont understand why they are doing this to me. about them, I heard only good
You can also ping him here at @Bringdemfya or DM through IG.

Hey errrbody. I just finished reading this thread for the 2nd time in a few days. Great stuff on here. What happened with @jimihendrix1 ? Wanted to see how all his grows were going. Crosses etc.? I just ordered some bo x rks, Nigerian Sunshine IBL, and nl5xhaze f6s. Will plant at least one pack soon after I receive them for the outdoor season. Thinking of growing the bo x rks first to do side by sides with the DLA5 and the Nature farmer Stonemason for the skunk section the grow.

@jimihendrix1 seemed to fall off a cliff lately. I don't see many of his long, rambling posts around like before.
I've grown out the Nigerian Sunshine, as you've like seen in this thread. The IBL is very stable and many phenos are of the BMR variety. It's an old school smoke. Good yield, smooth but not much of a remarkable taste, Golden crystals, purple calyxes, mellow smoke, 73 days.
The trick is to find a pheno that tips to the Nigerian side. It's a little bit more special but rare. Maybe one of about 7-8 of my females showed it.
I'm doing BOH next alongside with doing some crosses with a cool purple Nigerian Sunshine male I found.
Welcome aboard!

Thanks Jedi. Seems like ole Jimi really has a passion for what he wants. Not many folks out there are after a specific thing. Maybe he found it and is in a state of perpetual nirvana.
Yes, your pics and descriptions of Nigerian were part of the reason for going in that direction. Really cool looking! Also, there are a lot of military and ex-military near me so the PTSD healing aspect of this strain could be very helpful.
Did you make any f2s? Keepers? What did you cross it with? Did the male dominate?

The guy blocked me because I asked about talking to or at least a little bit about the soldier who gave him the heirloom Afghani he claims he got from an SF soldier. I liked his genetics, and even planned to buy some from him (which I cannot do while blocked) and the guy wants $150 per pack. I just thought that was really sketchy. The dude has good genetics, seemingly, but his orientation towards money over all else and shadily blocking people for asking questions about genetics has me somewhat put off. I definitely don’t think Swami is the proper title for this guy. I even offered to share Afghani, Indian, and Erbil, Kurdistan landraces I have coming from former interpreter friends of mine, some from the valley I fought in, which was one of, if not the most dangerous and inaccessible. He wasn’t even interested. Not trying to throw shade, but if I’m trying to make a purchase and I was just curious, I feel like he’s acting a little bitchy and a little like a prima donna. It’s unnecessary, at the least. I watch him bitch about customers on Instagram, too, though, so maybe that’s his demeanor. Would like to resolve. He didn’t even really respond, just blocked me.

Yes, I have made F2's, most are gestating in my seed tent now. I have yet to run them yet so I cannot say the male dominates but will probably backcross a male back to the mom. Their pics are attached. With how purple the male got I would say it is also a BMR leaner. Gas said most in the IBL were BMR. I also have a Nigerian leaner but it has yet to be hit with pollen yet.Thanks Jedi. Seems like ole Jimi really has a passion for what he wants. Not many folks out there are after a specific thing.

I also hit my keeper of Bodega Bubblegum and Blackwater with it. I have a hunch the Blackwater x Nigerian will be a treat.

Mom looks nice with that pink color. Yeah the dad is really purple! Tall thin looking from the pic. Never heard of the Bodega Bubblegum and I used to live near Bodega Bay lol. Blackwater pics I've seen from CC and they looked nice. On color alone that should be a cool cross. Would like to see how your f2s do.

That pic of the dad is deceiving as it is just one side branch that was sticking out. If you look in the background that is all him.
Ha, yah nothing to do with Bodega Bay I suppose. I used to live in Sonoma County myself, although the SC in SCJedi is Santa Cruz, hence the Boardwalk avatar. I'm east of SacTown now.
The Bodega Bubblegum is from Greenpoint Seeds in CO. It is the Indiana cut of Bubblegum hit with a super dominant Stardawg. Really nothing special she was just in the tent.
Here are a couple of pics of my Mendo Purps pheno of the CC Blackwater

What @SCJedi said. I've never had a problem with Gas, he's a straight up dude, one of the best I've ever dealt with and he wants you to grow his beans. My order from the Black Friday sale took longer than normal due to the volume of orders he received, just ordered last Wednesday and received the seeds yesterday. As SCJ said the FB page is gone and they've moved everything to the new website forum where you can learn from a lot of fine people in a private setting, loving it.hello everyone
have you had any negative experiences with them?

????? there is no one titled Swami at Swami Organic seeds, sure you're not thinking of Swami Select, the guy that goes by Swami, wears all the white robes and is not a breeder. Gas charges a $100 for 15 to 17 seeds in a pack and gives you a freebie pack of 15 seeds per order (not testers, full packs from the seed list), no matter if you buy 1 pack or 5, don't really see how that's all about the money and good luck on getting a deal like that anywhere else for those genetics. Only time I've seen him charge more than $100 a pack is for some pre release special land races that he brought in. Gas has answered ever question I've ask him in detail about genetics, soil or anything. Only people I've seen him bitch about deserved it. I get my most all my beans from 5 breeders and he's one of the top ones. Also not familiar with any heirloom Afghani's in the shop other than the BOEL breedings and PNW stuff. He even made a mistake on my Black Friday order, sent one wrong item, I emailed him and he reshipped the whole order corrected including the freebies, so I'm sorry if I don't see it from my experiences.

Frosty looking plants! Good work. Just got my order in the mail. Bliss f2 freebies. Alright alright.
Just read the drama above. This was my first purchase from Swami Seed. I placed it early Monday morning and just received my order. Not sure how it even got here so fast actually. I paid for 3 packs of 15 seeds each and received 1pack with 20, 1 pack with 19, 1 pack with 18, and one free pack of 17 seeds. I'm a happy customer so far. If my bud turns out anything close to the guys above, I'll be a returning customer.

I’m talking about whoever runs the Instagram. They blocked me after a question. Would still like to order if you’d unblock me. I was originally going to check out the pure Acapulco/Guerrero Gold and the Afghan obtained from the SF soldier in Kabul, which is the only place I can really call a city in Afghanistan. He called the strain “Talk of Kabul.” Never been there, though; I was too busy actually doing shit out in the tribal lands of Wardak. In any case, whether what he said was bullshit or not, I would like to be unblocked so I can make a purchase and so we don’t have to do dumb shit like this on a public forum. Can’t message if I’m blocked.

Again, I don’t fully know what’s going on, because I was openly supporting the guy based on photos and reviews. Getting blocked caught me off guard. But thinking about the source story also raised a few questions. In any case, if I am talking to the same entity, could you unblock me so we can discuss this in a more private setting?
