30ish Yr old Columbian Gold Seed Sprouts. Do I Want it to be a Male or Female?

No, I'm not jealous. It's the uncertainty with the 2 threads. Ya, I dig. I'm tired of arguing. I wish you good luck with your grow Timmahh. No hard feelings as far as i'm concerned.Peace, Jethead.

I suppose we will see the outcome of this grow. If it is indeed what he says it is, then what? Will all that doubt this grow then apologize? Or will you just merely fade off into the dark as a scolded dog does? Only time will tell. If he does not continuously update with pics and show himself to be honorable with his claims then that will prove his claims to be false.

Yes. True CG is indeed a rare strain. And yes it is unlikely that a seed of ANY plant would last 30 years in a cup and still be of some use. But it is NOT impossible. Remember, marijuana is an extremely hardy plant and can wistand almost anything with the exception of someone trying to kill it.

On a side note. One should actually hope that this is indeed what he claims it is. Because if it is, then there might be pure CG on the market able to be enjoyed once again as a pure strain.

so to the ? i asked some pages ago. is the old skewl seeds u can get are they old skewl or not a pure strain?

do the OP ever decide what sex he was going to make it? -im still interested to see how this is done.

i wonder if the obvious rough handling of the seedling while transplanting killed it


its never good to pull the seedling out while the roots are that fragile, better to take the whole dirt ball (as small as it might be) and plant it into a pot of your next soil.

So on this thread you know it's CG.....and can tell the difference between the HB seeds.



And on your other thread you say it could be either?

The CG seed (which did come out of stamped kilo package, regardless of mr Jetheads Experiences, are a darker brown seed with nearly black striations (like a tiger) around it. the HB seeds, which i honestly think are imature, as i noted, and contrary to what Mr Jethead posted, came out of a QP. i think that is pretty evident in my thread. Now, as for appearance, the HB seeds were a light/lime green, and a solid color wiht only a tad bit of yellow at the point end of the seeds. Its pretty easy to tell the differance between them.

I don't need to be an old timer to notice your straight up lying. Sorry to be blunt, but explain this?

I Guess my attemp at Sarcasim (being i wasnt sure what seed was which) wasnt very well constructed to be read as Sarcasim. bascially i am saying, you really cant mix the seeds up, unless you are totally unaware of which is which. the 2 seeds look majorly different.

i have no need to lie as i really dont give 3 shits what some keyboard worrior thinks. The only peoples opinions that matter in this case (of this perticular 30 yr old bean thread) is to find old salts that have experience keeping old seeds/plant alive.

if you cant help in that matter, kindly keep your fingers rolling a joint, and not trying to derail the purpose and intent of this thread. which is keeping this plant alive.

Thank you BUDS. And for you Southpark, errrrrrrrrr, Timmah, I was smoking and growing when you were still shitting in your diapers. Picked seeds out of a kilo my ass. Did you get the HB out of a kilo too. Your just a soda pop boy with no strings attached. This thread is f**ked up. I'm to sick for this shit. OUT

Good DAY. I SAY GOOD DAY Sir.

It isn't sarcasm, this is proof you have no idea what strain you are growing. You CLEARLY state your not sure which strain this is in your other thread. You are leading everyone on this forum to believe this is Colombian Gold, when you are not truly sure it is.

No "old salt" is going to appreciate the fact that you are making up some bullshit story. You fucked this whole thing up by starting a thread a day before this one asking which strain this could be. The proof is in your own writing. Your last thread was misleading in the way it was written, but if your entire thread was based on "sarcasm", what makes this thread believable.

I want RUI members to be more aware of what kind of bullshit is roaming these forums. DO NOT believe everything you read on here people! I want everyone to READ your last thread to see for themselves that this entire "30 yr old colombian gold" thread is based on UNKNOWN genetics. Even if this IS colombian gold, you have no right to call it that without knowing before hand.

Here's the link proving you do NOT know the genetics of this seed, I also see you trying to cover your tracks in that thread too:

https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/417786-hello-my-name-sprout-help.html

Quick update today. After getting home from 4 days away, i was unsure how the seedling was doing, and a bit nervous about how it did alone for 4 days. Needless to day, after opening up the door to the room, and checking in on the kids, Hes assured he he WANTS to LIVE>

so if in 2 weeks all is still going well, this thread will no longer be needed. If i can keep it alive to a young strout like my other 2 girls, then this thread will have served its purpose, if nothing more to re assure me it will do well and live a strong life.

If this is any indication of that future, id say its all Green (Or Gold Rather) from here on out.

so I am either

1. a late 70s early 80s Columbian Gold taken from a Stamped 2.2 kilo brick Or

2. an Early 80s Hawaian Blue that produced couch lock for 2 hrs or so.

But we are not sure what I am. So I am hoping some of RIU Old Timers can help me determine my heritage.

If you can tell the seeds apart so easily, WHY would you say this in your other thread? This is not sarcasm...period.

P.S. Looks like an indica to me.

ty Jethead.

obviously, it wasnt my intention to cause confusion. im pretty darn sure this is a CG bean that sprouted. But, I cant say with 100% certainty, which i havent done. but yes, i will defend my original statement, that im 99.9% sure it is. But its a bean stashed away 30ish yrs ago, that was stashed with only a few (3 to be exact) HB seeds. and while id Love to be 100% sure its what i fully believe it is, i WONT make that claim unless i can verify it 100%.

so what can i absolutly without a doubt verify now.
1. i put the seed up 30ish yrs ago. i say 30ish, becuz idont recall for sure when i packed it away, could of been between 79 and 82/83 maybe.
2. I can verify i put approximatly a dozen CG seeds in this cup, and a few HB beans.
3. i can verify, 12/13 CG seeds did nothing.
4. i can verify 1 of 3 hb seeds did nothing.
5. i can verify i have 2 hb seeds left. and one Sprout i fully believe is from the CG beans.
6. i can verify i personally picked these beans up after breaking up a kilo of Stamped CG in 78/79 (yes i was only 14 when said kilo was split).
7. I can verify CG seeds were dark brown with near black striations on them, and Hawaian Blue seeds where light green in color. the CG seeds were about 2mm in diameter, and the BH seeds are about 1.5mm in diameter.

look at it this way, what intention would i have in lying about it, if i have no intention of even thinking of selling, giveing, gifting anything from this plant, UNLESS i can 100% verify its what i Claim? this is a forum afterall, isnt the whole INTENTION of a forum to share, question, research and enjoy conversation of things of perticular interest of an individual? This bean is 30is yrs old. the fact it Sprouted at all is kind of remarkable. and even that claim has to be taken with a grain of salt, cuz no one here but 2 or 3 people, even know me personally. and I ll tell you right now, the 2 or 3 other RIU members that do know me here, have even fewer posts that I, and are also new to RIU as we are New to the now LEGAL use of MMJ in Michigan.

i welcome all discussion. and i can greatly appreciate the "OH BULL SHIT" meter going off.

but im a straight shooter. i honestly believe in the shareing of good and accurate information for the good of all.

and if this is really an original Columbian Gold plant, and it can be proven, and can bring back some of that old knock your dick in the dirt dank of yesteryear, isnt it worth a thread of 3 of its own?

i just want to see the plant grow. if i can prove it is infact CG, excellent. cuz if i can, the COMMUNITY as a whole will get to experience at some point, what us old smokers are talking about when we say, Not much was better then or now, than a good quality Columbian Gold. unless its the old skook AC, or Maui Wawi, or Hawian strains from the same time persiod.

Ive smoked alot of good Medicine over my lifetime. and to date, ive only found one or two more recent strains comparable to the real old skook dank.

ok, i see your connection your making now. when i started the thread, i wasnt 100% sure Which of the 2 beans came up.

ie, i planted them both at the same time, and when this one sprouted i couldnt tell which bean it was, because i didnt remember which bean i planted where in the peat. after it was up and i got it transplanted, i picked thru the peat, and found the 2 early lumbo seeds as they were still in the actual peat pots, and then found the other seed that was planted with Sprout, which was the one HB seed i tried to get to sprout.

So when i first posted, i couldnt say for sure which bean actaully came up. being unsure if you can tell the type of plant by looking at such a youngin, i was wondering if it was possible to say by the look if it was a CG seedling or a HB seedling.

but as i said, after i transplanted last sunday, i found the light/lime green seed on peat fluff in the tray. after finding this seed, i knew which seed sprouted.

didnt pay it much attention really, speaking of the way my quote you posted read. i knew it was one or the other, but until i found the bean that didnt make it, i wasnt sure which one did make it.

you are a bit defensive and you sorta also seem to hope this will be a moneymaker for you.

and, judging by that last pic , it looks like an indica and a not very impressive one.

not defensive, but backing my statements. and look at a fact of it. if it IS a 30yr old CG strain, would it not have some worth, regardless of owner? sure, if it turns out to be a rare plant, the potential to make money is there. money makes the world go around.
now if you would like to point out where i outright made the statement, i want to make money, or its ready to be purchased, you may have a point, but fact is you dont, because unless i can get 100% proof, the point is Mute.

ok, what about it looks like its an idica?
what about it would say its a sativa?
im making no bones about it, im new to growing Medicine. which is why im ASKING for help. at this point it doesnt matter what it is. what matters is proving or disproving what i claim it to be.
im pretty sure this IS a CG sprout from a bean i got back it the day. but fact is as i noted in my first post (on one of the 2 threads, i believe the Sprout thread) i didnt use any labling system. so i have not way to absolutly Verify its what i believe it is. thus the reason for the threads.


Im confident is what i claim, but want to be able to verify it. i maybe wrong, and im not discounting that possibility. its to early to really say for sure imo. but again, im not sure if i could ever prove its what i claim. Just looking for direction to figure out if its possible, and the steps to do so.

NOT an indica. Hybrid at best leaning towards sativa. Wait till those leaves get big. Thin and pointy they will be..................says Yoda

oh we´ll just wait and see, i cant claim enough experience to fully state that it is an indica, just making some observations

ok fair enough, and thanks. im just an excited papa, to what i know is going to be some killer smoke. If i can determine 100% what it is without a doubt, id be happy, regardless of what it turns out to be. cuz i know WHY i stuck the seeds away. it was DANK with a capital kick your ass attached. heh.

ive noticed the center leaves are very wide right now and still rather short in length from the stem if thats of any help.
id say, they are 1 inch long, and 1/2 inch wide. short and wide basically. i have 2 girls of Durban going, and they are a long thin leaf, even on the new growth. so id say it would appear to be the opposite of the Durbans as it has none of those leaf charecteristics yet. not sure if at this time, that means anything, but i though shorter fater leafs were of the Sativa variety, while a longer finger like leaf is of the indican variety?yes?

Yoda, heh, if im reading you correctly, you are saying a Sativa strain has long fingery like leafs, and Indica has the shorter wider leafs?
i dont recall which is which, its been such a long time since i was, info seeking, on meds. in the last 20 yrs, most of my med info seeking pertained to where could i get the good stuff, without having to cut off a leg to do it.
