Reading the Tibetan Book Of The Dead really helped my headspace for those kind of effects. I was really interested in the deity Mahakala too. Reading about all this kind of helped my head space and made these ego trips much more pleasant and guided in a more positive light.

Today marks day 1 of flower. I figured I can go ahead and start them while my RB26DETT goes these next 2 weeks. I have an extra rainbow belts v3 that I’ve got at about 2 weeks in there. I am running out of room, so it’ll be a seeded hash run.

Oooooh fuck I’m pumped to see this…
I’ve reviewed some previous grows and I am so glad these beans are in your hands. @cdues21 I am truly impressed. I feel like the Rainbow Belts buds you grew would stick to the wall if you tossed them lightly. I’m feeling good about the chances of these Black Tiger pups.
Get ready for the fireworks show!

Looks like 1 week in #6 is for sure a dude with all sorts of balls already and #5 is about to grow his first ball. Go figure the ones with the best structure and growth are the dudes. No other updates other than that right now. Probably gonna chop the RB26 down this weekend since #6 is about to bust all over the tent here in the next week.

Week 2 update…
So it looks like I got #5 wrong, that is a female. Everything else is showing gender as of now and I have amazing bad news. The only male appears to be #6. The best in terms for structure and vigor will be the only pollen donor by default, but I’ll still be separating seeds by moms!
Just added in my pallet to raise everyone off of the ground to brace for winter. I hope to really bring out the dark colors with winter rolling in.

Perfect time to reverse a few females with STS to increase diversity.

Definitely crossed my mind. It would be my first time using STS so I was hesitant to pull the trigger for this run. I was watching your Kentucky Red Hair to see how it worked for your preservation project! I also would like to separate fem from reg seeds, so maybe I can revisit this project in the future for Black Tiger F2S MK2 fems.

Thank you for posting this. I prob. won’t be signing up for this strain. More seeds for you bold folks.
Yeah i also avoid strains that give “A Feeling of Impending Doom”. I applaud their honesty.
But i would def. try a couple hits just out of curiosity. I had some “creepy vibe” Thai weed in the 80’s. DJ Short mentions getting Thai weed that had mentally “very unpleasant” effects.
This Black Tiger sounds more like C99 (racing thoughts, heart pounding) on steroids.
It sounds less scary than my Salvia 20X concentrate session where i had an out of body experience and thought i had died.

A number of African tribes have said their purpose for cannabis what spiritual, and often punitive.
They used it to commune with their ancestors, but also used it as a punishment for community members. Some would put the offender in a hut and fill the hut with cannabis smoke til the offender would either vomit or pass out. The intent was to get the offender to see the errors of his ways. Similar to Iboga - a guilt trip to show oneself how theyve been offending both their community and their highest self through their wrong actions.
Falls in line with the terror trip you described.
Ive had a few of those.
And on the opposite end of the spectrum is Jamaican that was bred as a celebration of life so it has good vibes and a chill buzz
Its cool how culture and necessity influence the directions cannabis is bred.

Salvia is much nicer, pure.
I wont mess with concentrates, just raw leaf for me.
Amazing for meditating and chanting.

Good to hear this. A friend said in small amounts, the pure plant matter (esp when chewed properly) can be “beautiful”. He has experience w San Pedro cactus and other native “spiritual” plants.

Listened to the bodhi podcasts recently again he talked about how salvia should not be smoked and how it does not like flame or heat but chewed or consumed like your friend bodhi talked about how he and his friend on one of his adventures met a lady that grew it made some into a shamrock shake and said he had a beautiful experience

Salvia loves being smoked. I smoked a hit of 12x and it sent me somewhere strange without telling me. That’s the scariest thing about salvia is that you forget you took it.

I often dont finish exhaling the first hit before Im teleported away.
The effective compound is a terpene so keeping the dry plant matter from getting hot is important, otherwise the terpenes burn off like monoterpenes in the Mendocino sun.
Absolutely beautiful experiences, if you can accept letting go of being here…sometimes having to accept watching everything before your eyes swirl into oblivion like the toilet got flushed before you only see a dark blank screen from your eyes then are teleported into some realm describable by Terrence McKenna
I gotta get a cut this Spring.

I had never heard about the use as punishment, but I can absolutely understand that. All the the things that make your toes curl when you try to sleep come bubbling up, and you had to reckon with them, or not.

Last lanky girl is the rainbow belts v3, but here are all the Balochistan Black Tigers. The male #6 is starting to get a stank to it and some of the male flowers are showing some purple colors starting to come in.

Kind of gives a new meaning to “punishable by stoning.”
