The Strains of Yesteryear
By DJ Short
Excerpt on Hawaii..

"I have tried to equal the Hawaiian experience outdoor on the mainland, and indoors, with no success. Everything I have grown from Hawaiian stock turned out to be nowhere near the quality of the parent stock. This is true for three generations of trials. The product from Hawaiian seed was equal to the best plants grown from mid-quality Colombian stock!
This led me to a hypothesis about Hawaii: that just about any stock grown in Hawaii will turn out to be of unique and relatively high quality.
Hawaii just happens to be one of those special places, I suppose."



Always good to be reminded how lucky we are to be growing here on the Islands...

Whats the buzz like Sativa or Indica leaning?...I feel like a clucker waiting to get a crack hit...lol.

BTW the plant I'm treating with CS hasn't responded yet... but I'm not giving up hope! I'll spray that sucker until I'm out of silver... ;-)

So far L.A. Woman has blow away my expectations, She been super strong in Veg, can't wait to see her flower out. She is by far the nicest of the DNA/RP gear.

Hey Cooter,
Are all of these hybrids better highs than the old Thai, Gold, Red sativa strains? Is there less paranoia? Is it because it knocks a person on their but? Easier to grow? I must be stuck in my ways of old.

We will see what my TGA and Rare Dankness lines can produce. The soil is cooking and should be ready in April. Then I will know if it is all hype to get people to buy seeds or if it is better.

Cheers,
Mo

I actually just picked up a pack of Doc's OG from Rare Dankness. Seriously debating doing an indoor run for kicks. Had to chop my girl earlier than planned cuz it got caught in yesterdays deluge of rain.

Ugh - I know what you mean. Last year the rain made me harvest the Malawi earlier than I wanted. The buds I left un-harvested started to rot.

My grow thread now is missing its pictures because Photobucket changed their app.

Hey Mo,

You know its all subjective. My tolerance is pretty high considering how much cannabis I consume now vs. how much I smoked as a kid in the 80's. Too me the Sativas we consumed as kids growing up seemed so much more potent, but i didn't smoke everyday either.

I can build up a tolerance pretty quick to most strains these days, but if i consumed the modern strains of today as a kid in the 80's I'd probably experience the same level of potency. I tend to like sativa a lot more due to the psychedelic effect. Paranoia as a side effect is never a fun experience and I rarely encounter any paranoia these days. If paranoia isn't your cup of tea look for hybrids that are 50/50ish (Satvia/Indica) and the Indica used in the cross should be a high in CBD.

In the end it really doesn't matter, its all about selection, even the crappiest gear can produce a keeper. From my experience you get what you pay for when buying gear. Sourcing the best genetics from top breeders ensures you don't have to grow out thousands of seeds to find a keeper.

Just keep growing brah and post up some progress pic's of your RD and TGA gear once you get them rolling, I've never ran any gear form either of those breeders but I've never heard anyone saying anything negative about them either, well maybe the occasional hater rhetoric, but take all that shit with a grain of salt, in the end the fairest evaluation will come from you since all of this is subjective anyways.

wow that was long winded...lmao!

Mo, what did you pick up from RD? They are my second favorite seed company out there,and Scott Reach is about as good a breeder as anyone can get! I expect many cool things from them in the future too!

Thats good to hear but now I am curious to hear who your most favorite seed company is? haha

Anyone ever try out any Alphakronik stuff? They are on the cheaper side of things but have some interesting crosses. Haven't really read anything negative about them and it seems they are pretty active on certain forums.
