Hey my friends it's been a while since I contributed anything, we had a very eventful time with the house flooding and were chasing our tails everyday until all the salvaging and renos were completed. Nevertheless I did managed to grow outside two plants to maturity at 50 degrees north; they are still in my backyard, but their time draws near as it's getting colder and wetter at night, butl no mould yet. I grew one hybrid sativa cross from four different lines I've been working on for five years now, the hybrid has at least two distinct phenos, one which started flowering in late June, which was going to be my ultimate pinnacle of breeding success for an early flowering sativa, until I accidentally killed it with too many newts. And the other pheno budding much, much later. Both phenos are from a cross I made last summer and have Egyptian, Himalayan, Thai, Malawi, Mexican, and Reunian Island genes, AND all were sativas. The Sinai (Egyptian) is noted for being very good medical cannabis, people say it has a real euphoric quality and gives intense munchies. the Himalayan is noted for being very blissful as well and the rest are known for their strong psychedelic sativa highs. So in the last few days I've been vaping the odd bud after a quick microwave. I call it The United Nations. Here's a quick smoke report from the long flowering pheno:
The colour of the bud is dark green with blue-purplish highlights and orange pistils
The smell is deep floral, lavender overtones and spicy, maybe some slight nuances of fruit (no trace of skunk)
The vapour from the Volcano at 387 F was thick and white. I got 2 great bags of
vapour with 1 more being about half-full.
The taste is sweet, spicy a bit floral, maybe a bit woody and earthy.
The high is not what I was expecting, (I imagined it would be a huge psychedelic rush, but it's not like that.) It reminds me of taking codeine, there's a feeling of contentment and peace I find with opioids, but also of being very aware of what's happening around you, very relaxing and absolutely no paranoia. I assume it is the Sinai and Himalayan genes that are expressed the most here. I think it would be superb medical cannabis.
The other plant is Mountain Gold, a heady cross of Hawaiian sativa and Oaxaca Sativa and smells like lemons, I've vaped this too and it's a strong Sativa high but a light in spirit, excellent for watching science documentaries or socializing, without any burnout or paranoid thoughts, great weed. So tomorrow I will likely chop these two but today is sunny and reasonably warm so they will live one more day.
