I got an ounce of some very bright green buds that were flattened like little beaver tails from a buddy who got them off an Amish grower. They’d obviously been compressed in transport but looked much different than other locally grown or even commercial grade. Smelled strong gasoline too. Well, I managed to find 4 seeds in there. Germinated them and 3 popped. 1 ended up getting eaten by slugs. 2 survived into flower, one was male, the other female. I pulled the male a few days late and was glad I did cause the lady produced 10 seeds for me. Both were stretchier hybrid-type plants, the female produced many golf-ball buds with vigor.
I didn’t think this plant was anything special until I bagan to trim it and the smell changed from gasoline/diesel to a lacquer/paint thinner smell. My eyes were burning and watering so bad while trimming it too. Never had experienced that before or since. The buds lost all the smell once dried and had a light sandlewood smell after the cure. The buds turned a light gold color instead of green. I first smoked a joint of it with my girl and a buddy of mine who had traveled to India and smoked there. Now I’m no lightweight, but half of a joint between the 3 of us had us giggling our socks off! I made a point to save those seeds cause whatever it is, it’s something you don’t come across everyday. This was in 2015, I’ve kept those seeds dry and in cold storage since.
Weed is shunned in their community, but just like with us English it doesn’t stop them. They grow it out in their corn fields and the state and federal governments don’t mess with them. Where they get busted is when they transport it. I think the word they use for it translates to something like “green corn.” I had a buddy who had Amish family and he’d tell me about his grandpa’s grow’s lol.
I would totally love it if someone stepped up and offered to do a preservation run!
