OMG!
What strain is it!
 
I'm gifting out some seed today, it's mostly the original Jack Herer with early Jamaican, crossed. Gives me a better look at what's there. Buddy landed in my yard yesterday with next winters heat. Time to stick speakers out the window and start puffin and pilin. Lots of folks in my neck of the wood plain just don't know how to count. LOL!

Few seeds there : - ) Wow!
 
Thanks. I first did that cross 20 + years ago. I've got it down 3 plants, most is getting there. Most has never been rouged and there's sure to be a few gems. It's to much for my carcas. The old guy i get my firewood from keep telling me it's the same price as last year but it's always $15 more. :)
 
Hey my tribe, I've been away for a while but looking forward to my summer grow. After a long and a sometimes frustrating bit of compromising with my significant (I love her despite our differences of opinion on summer plans) I've decide to grow only six plants outdoors this year. They are:

Bangi Haze Feminized: - a Congo Sativa with a smidgen of Indica to allow for faster maturation

Nepal Jam Feminized: a Jamaican sativa/indica cross with a wild Himalayan sativa

New Caledonia: a pure sativa from New Guinea (I will need to bring inside for 2 extra months in front of my south facing window to mature)

Power Plant: another South African cross from Netherlands so there is a bit of indica in it as well

Purple Satellite: a 1979 Mexican Oaxaca crossed with another Himalayan sativa

And my own hybrid of Zamaldelica crossed with Durban Poison/Big Freeze.

I imagine if all goes well I'll have an ample amount of stash to go around. The plants are only 4" tall now but strangely the Bangi Haze has developed three dicotyledon leaves instead of two. I've never seen that before, has anyone? Here is a pic from two weeks ago:

Seems like you get that in the early meristemic tissue. It's like it's confused but always gets itself straightened out. My uneducated guess is that it's hormonal. The extra cotalydon sure makes for a good head start. Nice stuff you have there. I'd like to get a barge and float it into international waters, maybe there a person would be free to plant and play. :)

Thanks Odjob, yes I've done some research since my last posting. It seems it happens from time to time and some people claim you can end up with 50% more bud because of the extra branches and foliage. I agree it would be nice to grow whatever you wanted to. I've always had a love for landrace genetics and so I'm always trying landrace seeds from different countries. I fell in love with sativas in my youth (I'm now 62) because the highs from these seemed more intensely cerebral and clearer than today's super sativa indica crosses, plus it's just damn fun!
 
Hello Zem, I'm 66 and remember dieing to get my hands on wide leaf indica cannabis. Damn stuffs all over now. LOL. Most of what i have is from 50 years of blackmarket weed in NS. My prize is genetics from Belize, early 80's, it's hypnotic. I have a god son who is keen on cannabis and gets most of what i have. I have to thank the dealers and the 20 gram ounces for a nudge to grow my own. :)

Yes Odjob, NS was also very good to me too, my parents had a farm in the Annapolis Valley. I always had interesting pot to smoke from around the world; I remember sailors would bring back of Jamaican from their trips to the Caribbean, and there always seemed to be hash from Lebanon, Morocco and occasionally my favourites Black Temple Ball from Nepal and Thai stick from south east Asia. Lots of world travelers brought good stuff home from all over. I really wish I had saved those seeds. Most of what were pure landraces are being hybridized now. I bet your Belize is great; keep those genetics pure 'cause once they're gone they aint coming back. Do you grow it indoors or out?
 
Lots of barite was shipped to the Carribian from the barite mine at Walton NS. The mine is shut down now. Fisherman worked the ships during the off season .......... lord knows the connections they made. Lots of families made fortunes from rum running and smuggling is kind of a time honored tradition. It's mind boggling the amount of hash that came ashore and went to Montreal. Newfoundlanders where involved in mother loads. I live not far from Walton and it's neat to have a puff on the old dock site and know the history! I buy seeds now just to see what's out there and grow indoors because of physical limitations. So far i run back to the well every time. :thumb:

Great story, Oddy! four years ago I drove by Walton looking for magic mushrooms growing in the pastures. I couldn't find any because it was the wrong time of year too early in September, but I remember picking them in the 70s closer to Truro years before when I was a teenager. Really nice country. It's funny in the 1980's when I was a teacher in Lesotho, southern Africa they grew around the school, looked like the rubber part of an eyedropper, but white of course. The Basotho people had no idea what they were. Back then in Lesotho I could buy a pound of weed from the local clerk of the police station for five bucks, not particularly strong stuff and quite seeded, but hey the police sold it to me, and how cool is that!
 
I know Truro well! Penny Mountain was the hot spot for Liberty Cap back then. Most fields get turned now so there not as prevalent. I'm not into shrooms but know what fields to look for and when. People use to dry and take them out west and trade for lbs of weed. I haven't been farther than Truro in a long time LOL.
