Landrace Genetics 101

My Malawi was on the speedy side. Dubi said it was the Old Killer pheno.

Lol. Lemme see if I can remember them all now!

Cool beans.

Panama is easy to grow and a great producer, and no one seems to dislike it. I loved the cedar piney taste mine had. It's good old school weed.

you had me at 'easy to grow' then you gotta throw in 'good old school'
... great advice

Out of Ethiopian, Panama, Malawi, G Tiger, and Violeta, my favorites have been Malawi and GT. Malawi is wonderful but best in smaller doses IMO cause the high can get too speedy. My Ethiopian is crazy speedy. My Panama was too indica for me (dopey, confusing, munchies,etc) but there are several phenos I’ve heard. Beautiful plant though.
Violeta - a nice fairly mild buzz.
The Ace mix seeds are a fun toss of the dice too.

They’ve reworked the Golden Tiger strain a bunch of times - it’s Thai x Malawi. The first one I grew was very Thai influenced and it remains my favourite bud ever. All the other GTs I’ve grown since have been very Malawi and very speedy. I’m still sprouting GTs looking for the Thai style one.

There's as green Panama pheno that's speedy. I've had ones that taste like lime.

If I remember correctly, they replaced the Thai x Thai hybrid that they had been using with a new Thai and they've been breeding towards the Thai side now.

Malawi is speedy af as almost all African sativas are and it dominates a lot of crosses when used as a mother unless father has a real stamp. I remember Ace having a real Thai, but they dropped it later. Real Seed Company is offering Thai/Burmese now if someone’s interested.

I'd say the Malawi if you want a ride

Personally I’d choose Golden Tiger then Red Sapphire.

I'm with Penny on the Golden Tiger!

ZACATECAS TRIBUTE
BIG SUR HOLY WEED X OAXACAN GOLD Fall release through ACE Seeds

BIG SUR HOLY WEED

 

[Pennywise]

So do you think BSHW is actually Zacatecas renamed?

 

[Morglie]

Lovely purpling on the bottoms of the leaves. It carries over in the cross as well.

Hey Penny!
No I believe Zacatecas was crossed with a Afghani back in the early to mid seventies, though I think this line was kept pretty straight forward as an IBL. I was gifted beans by a gentleman that just wanted to preserve the line. In exchange for a fair amount of seeds in return.

Hello Morglie!
I used my Purple Oaxacan gold purple line to carry more purple into the cross and add more true old world Mexican flare, and I am pleased with the thinner leaves as a result, and already the smell is very reminiscent of some of the finer Mexican's I had grown back in the late seventies. I do believe if someone truly new what Zacatecas grew and smelled like it would be likely they could grow F1 through 6 and select out what would be close to original Zacatecas, because the genetics are in there.

 

[Pennywise]

I’ll probably work with them when they drop. I’ve been looking for a nice Mexican line.

Have you talked with Big Sur? He has genuine Zacatecas and BSHW, and knows the difference. He has a few long posts about them on his thread.

Hello Graytail!
Yes I have and he dismisses my strain as being valid, Though I have yet to see proof of pictures to substantiate any contradiction. And my sources stand firm that what I have is from Kagyu of Coastal seeds and though not pure Zaxatecas but IBL heirloom Big Sur Holy Weed.

We can't seem to get along, he and I. About half the time I read one of his posts, I was reminded of the kids from wealthy households on the playground in elementary school who'd show up after Christmas, their birthday, or whenever Mom & Dad felt like rewarding them for not eating too much paint that week... and run around telling everyone how whatever new toy(s) they'd just received were awesome - and far better than the junk our parents had had to scrimp and do without in order to buy us... and then refuse to let anyone else play with them. Which is kind of an odd experience for me as a middle-aged adult, because most of those kids either got the attitude beaten out of them before they were halfway through junior high school or else went on to become someone's prison bitch (as a lot of them ended up feeling entitled and doing things that they weren't supposed to, then were unable to find friends anyone who'd be willing to give them an alibi ). So I don't normally see the personality trait in adults.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure he feels that I'm an asshole.

We're probably both correct, lol. So we ended up adding the other person's user name to our respective Ignore lists, and now we get along just fine .

 

[Lerugged]

I remember reading that online argument. From the outside it was good entertainment. Heh. Sorry but it was funny.

 

[Conradino23]

I think @BigSur dropped out, cause someone disagreed with him on the drying method

BIG SUR HOLY WEED

Gorgeous! Always been intrigued with BSHW. How does she smoke? Any update re US distributor for Ace? Does anyone have an actual confirmation Ace is NOT shipping to the US?

 

[CannaFish]

Great looking buds tropics! I really like the structure on the cross with the Oaxacan. You've got a lot of red/purple genetics too.

Damn y'all are cold blooded dogging on BigSur like that. Paint eater and prison bitch? Jealous much? I guess your handle says it all Torturedsoul?

BigSur's seeds grow great over here...
