Thank you, some very unique genetics with tremendous medicinal potential

[chiral.chemist]

I appreciate the welcome, and welcome aboard to the thread!

[Cormoran]

Seems interesting, I’ll keep an eye out. Happy growing!

Happy (over) growing to you too!

Welcome to OG @chiral.chemist . Check out the original members thread, the Canadian thread and the Introduce yourself thread if you have a mind to. Looking forward to the show.

Any original OG members back?

Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run… but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.… - Hunter S. Tho…

The Canadian Contingent

With more and more of us Canadians coming to this forum as of late, and with our laws changing come October 2018, it’s as good as time as any to start a Basic Canadian Thread. This threads purpose is to bring fellow Canadians and those want to be Canadians together to talk about our grows, our hobbies, and our lives if we so desire. Come introduce yourself and welcome to the forums. Best way to be apart of these forums is start a grow thread of your own whether just starting out or decades of…

Introduce Yourself @OG

I think it may be good idea to start this Introduction topic for current and new members, so we can get to know each other … I’ll point out new members to this thread. If you are new member just click “Reply” and composer window will appear. Please if you had account on OG1.0 be sure to participate in old school members guestbook. Let me start and introduce myself a bit: I’m from Czech republic (you might have already visited Prague, it is pretty favou…

[GMan]

Welcome back, and I’m looking forward to the grow. It should be great.-

[chiral.chemist]

Thank you kindly for the resources, I’ll certainly dip my toe in soon!

[chiral.chemist]

Hey there! I’m hoping there’s a few people like yourself who find the Red Lebanese intriguing

[misterbee]

Welcome, WELCOME, W-E-L-C-O-M-E BACK!! All your expertise is surely worthy of drawing an anxious crowd!! Before it’s gets too crowded, I’m gonna take a seat in that far right corner. That’s where I like to observe everything. Wishing you continued success, stay safe, take special care, and be well…mister

[GMan]

I do for sure. I’ve been following @lefthandseeds and his journey and the Lebanese plants look really nice. Everyone that I’ve seen talk about it liked it. It seems like somebody was talking about the red Leb recently, but my stoner memory can be fleeting at times. Wishing best vibes on the grow. peace

[lefthandseeds]

Hey buddy! Good to see you here. I’m gonna puff on some Lebanese and tune in for the grow show!

[FattyRoots]

Welcome mate. Look forward to tuning in, sounds like a killer cross

@chiral.chemist

which living in Whistler, British Columbia at the time

Nice, I did a couple years in that area in 99’/2000 loved it. The peak to Creek run was all time, that was before there was chair lift in Crackside so you’d have to hitch-hike back the village. 9 out of 10 people who stopped for a ride were burning a doob haha. Gotta love B.C

[chiral.chemist]

There he is! Really looking forward to sharing more Leb related knowledge!

[chiral.chemist]

Oh man, Peak to Creek…just thinking about it makes my legs hurt Probably my favorite run if all time is hiking over to the Khyber ridge from the Peak and then shredding all the way to Creekside in like 2+ft of powder. Damn I miss that place so much!!!

[FattyRoots]

@chiral.chemist

Damn I miss that place so much!!!

Me too man, amazing lines and scenery. The little wooden cabin on the log slash run that was built by some locals like Devon Walsh and Chris Brown(I think) was a mandatory stop for a session, the crusty old bong in there got a hammering haha. Good memories

Ive been dreaming about going to bc for some snowboarding for years! Soon im going to make it happen. even some downhill biking would be wicked

UPDATE ZERO: Origin Story

I started this breeding project last year in 2020 utilizing a single pack of Silk Road beans. My overall goal of this endeavor is to line breed this cultivar to get as close to the Red Lebanese side for the genepool as possible, with further objectives of washing specifically for hash. According to cannabis lore, Red Lebanese was the favorite hashish of both legends Howard Marks (aka Mr. Nice) and Frenchy Cannoli! In some ways, this project is also a personal tribute to Frenchy on my part to honor his legacy and the positive impact of his teachings and knowledge he had on some many individuals

What seemed like bad luck at the time, the Silk Road pack only yielded 3/12 females, however, as fate would have it, I pulled a beautiful male that had all the morphological characteristics of being Red Lebanese HP dominant. This is where things got interesting…

This male was hit to the three females, which included NL1, PNWHP, and Red Lebanese HP dominant phenotypes, and thus provided a nice spread of focused F2 lines.

Here is picture of flowers on the NL1 dominant mother:

And the Red Lebanese HP dominant mother:

Finally, here is the seeded Red Leb dominant mother, which comprises the Silk Road F2 line I’m currently working forward from (Red Leb HP mom x Red Leb HP dad):

I’m very thankful I took SO MANY pictures from my grow of the F1 pack because these photos and notes have definitely helped define what I’m looking for as I select parents for the F3 generation. As a caveat, there really isn’t much information to go off for the Red Lebanese, except for a few pictures gleaned from Mr. Bob Hemphill and Hannah Boldt (…I might share these photos upon obtaining permission from them, but don’t feel comfortable until I do).

Stay tuned for UPDATE #1 coming soon…

That’s the one at the top of the run that we always seshed in, little smoke shack was the mother ship haha

[BigMike55]

Im along for the ride.
I liked Lebanese so much i crossed it with my blue cookies with fairly stunning results. Go to BigMike55’s Ongoing cannabis Log. My current grow has Blak N Blu Cookies. Awesome plant.
