Humid Temperate Colombian Andes Greenhouse Organic Grow

Yes, I am a cloning fanatic- I don’t have the patience for long term mother so I’m at an ungodly level of generations based on original first grow. Not to mention the number of runs based off the ones produced during herm run. Not ashamed to admit I kept and appreciated those seeds even though genetically inclined to produce more herms. I know that’s sacrilegious to most. But they haven’t tasted it yet for themselves

ungodly level of generations based on original first grow

I'm not to the ungodly level yet, but well on my way. clones of clones.

Clone away, I do it so much I have to give away and randomly distribute along paths and ironic locations for giggles. While everyone wants to defoliate to the extreme, I want to clone to the extreme. For me pruning/cloning = great, defoliation of fans = great when necessary for airflow but addlebrained for health. I never top main stem anymore, but freely on offshoots believing nothing rivals main cola quality when trained properly yet increasing number of colas is great especially when not compromising main…

"Kush" literally means from the Hindu Kush region, and these are original indica landraces. So you've got Hindu Kush strain, Afghan Kush strain, and they are from Central Asia. So what I'm saying is, a true indica is actually a Kush. I mean, more or less I think we can say that.

Ahhh!! Light bulb coming on!
Well, in that case, I had the wrong idea.
In that case I do want to chase the landrace. Afghan or Hindu Kush.

Then you've got modern hybrids that contain kush (indica) genetics, for example Banana Kush, which has lots of Hindu Kush in its lineage (see Seedfinder.eu).

I will have to hit it later. I have appointments all day and I am about out of time now, but thank you for the good explanations. I think I am finally realizing what you are saying. I want Afghan or Hindu Kush. Maybe Kosher Kush is a mold-resistant pheno or something? I will have to look it up.

I did a super-quick internet search for "Mold resistant kush". Grove bags said:

"If mold is making it difficult to grow cannabis in your environment, try a cultivar developed to thrive in difficult and wet environments like Hawaiian Duckfoot or duck foot strain, Thai Sativa, Afghan Kush, Durban Poison, or Columbia Gold."

Colombia (with two "o's", but yeah).
There is that one company here that claims Colombia Gold with 1:3 CBD:THC, and that might work already.
I think I need to start with the landraces here, also!
They take landraces from lower elevations and put them up here in greenhouses all the time. You might have an issue the first season, but then you just take seed from the ones that do not get hit.

You hit all my questions. I have to run for now. I hope to be back in a day or two. But if not then, by the end of the week.
I will try to grow out what I have for now, just to get a starting datapoint, and see what happens if you grow off-season. But I want to plant new seeds probably in March here in my seedling room, and I will look for some Afghan Kush (or maybe Hindu Kush).
And / or probably the Colombia Gold with 1:3. I just have to call the seed company (because they do not answer email).
I really need to check out the existing landraces.
If I can keep the pollen males separate I might try that Red Point also. It is only 3.5% THC and 3.5% CBD or whatever, but two complete-stoner locals thought that was the bomb.

Muchísimas gracias, amigo. Got to run.
I got to come back and finish later but that clarifies it completely.
Colombia Gold 1:3 and Afghan Kush, look also at Kosher Kush and other mold resistant Kushes.
But start with the existing landraces, because we already know they grow here.

So my point is, lots of indica-dominant hybrids contain kush genetics, and lots will give you that amazing pain-numbing body high that facilitates stretching, yoga, and massage. I use Blueberry and Humboldt Dream, and both have this effect.


I think we can safely say that Northern Lights is a direct descendant of Afghan Kush. Different phenos will have some variation with effects.


Any modern hybrid named So-And-So Kush likely has Hindu Kush or Afghan Kush in its lineage. What matters is the strain and the phenotype of the strain, to find one with high levels of terpinolene and/or ocimene, and other pine terpenes. I would say there are plenty of kush hybrids that are likely not bud rot resistant. Afghan Kush likely is, as well as Northern Lights #5 (descendant of Afghan Kush).

Another kush that looks promising for bud rot resistance is Banana Kush. Another one is Critical Kush, w/ pheno(s) high in ocimene and pinene.

We just can't generalize and say kushes are fungus/mold resistant. We can say that some phenos of modern kush hybrids, and some phenos of landrace kushes, are fungus/mold resistant. I happen to think the Central Asian landraces (kush/indica) got their fungus/mold resistance by cross-breeding with Indian sativas.


I'll repeat what I've always been saying, and that's to not stack all the requirements into one plant. Find your bud rot resistant THC indica plant, and find your bud rot resistant 50/50 or indica-leaning CBD plant. Then mix the flower using the grinder.

Keep in mind that CBD tends to moderate the psychoactive effects of THC, so you can mix CBD with your high-THC indica buds, in the right amount, to get an even deeper body high.

RE: Afghan Kush from Blimburn



Trust me, there are Afghan Kush phenos that are high in terpinolene and pine terpenes. It's a matter of finding a good seed line, then you grow them out and look for the phenos. Ditto for Northern Lights #5.

Blimburn isn't providing terpene profiles (with percent of each terpene), and they probably don't provide any information on the phenotypes either.

Banana Kush and Critical Kush were two that I found that have promising terpene profiles for bud rot resistance. I looked at a bunch of other kushes and didn't see anything. It's a tough call though, because these seed lines will throw different phenos. What I look for are the promising phenos.
