Hello from Maritime Seeds!

Have you ever popped them? I bet that would be an amazing candidate for a preservation seeds run…

I’d have to agree with you about ‘back to nature’ comment, modern hybrids are fantastic in there own right but there is something special about the original varieties that naturally grow on the earth. I would liken it to our modern wheat plants, sure they now produce much heavier yields, with disease resistance etc but through all that selective breeding we have also significantly reduced nutrient density of the wheat germ! Similar to what has happened with cannabis when looking at it with a broad field of view… we’ve lost alot of the unique flavors, minor cannabinoid ratios, and unique highs in the drive to maximize potency and bag appeal. (That’s not to say there hasnt been some amazing breeders/growers like everyone here working to preserve the old stuff)

I think some people are just prone to that sort of issue, I am definitely one of them. Love that he would ‘smoke a beer’ instead :joy:

Lebanon blonde hash sounds like it was amazing, I wonder if we could find similar feelings in Lebanese LR (or whatever they grew for hash, I’m unfamiliar with the history behind that)

Man… I firmly believe that I grew up in the wrong timeline haha this sounds amazing.

I actually learned how to roll a joint from the ‘uncle Ben’ in my area… I’ve never met him but my friend learned from him then he taught me back in high school. Will have to try out the bill tech I wonder how the new Canadian plastic bills work for that :thinking:

Little story from my father- he was traveling out west in the mid 70’s and ended up coming across this bud that was nothing like the brick he was used to, it was large fluffy buds with dark orange hairs and he recalls there being a good amount of visible trichomes. He says it’s still the best weed he has ever smoked and the seeds were as big as orange seeds. Man o man do I ever wish he saved some of those seeds.

Cheers Uncle Ben :call_me_hand::beers:

No, haven’t hydrated them. You can’t kiss all the purty ladies. God knows I’ve tried. My girlfriend and me also hit on a pen of “live resin”. Hard to beat the convenience. Potency is such you have to take it easy.

Your Dad sounds like a cool dude. Every one has a dark side though. If he’s a good guy, has fine moral standards and a sound head on his shoulders, treasure that.

I’ve been researching seeds that would produce that Lebanon Blond hash profile of the early 70’s. Found them too, at least according to the website’s hype.

Might wanna rethink your choices if your prone to panic-anxiety attacks.

Regards,
Uncle Ben

Haha fair enough.

Going to try to look for those seeds aswell. Being a younger guy I didn’t get to experience that stuff and would love to try it now…

Most weed doesn’t do it to me… it’s just these modern sativas. Wondering if it’s a relation between the Sativa buzz and potency of today’s stuff. Hoping a mellow LR sativa, much lower potency will fill that gap.

Dude, we must have grown up around the same neck-of-the-woods. You’re taking me back to my teenage years my man. Sitting on the dunes on South Padre Island on a cloudless night.

No such thing as too many seeds, no such thing, impossible. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

:laughing: you are right even if you’ve got freezer bags full, then it just turns into a dietary supplement .

Nice to meet you @Rogue :wave:

If you can afford it, then you can always give them away here: Free Seeds & Free Clones Thread (Part 15) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

And can sell some of them to pay for stamps, etc. and ofcourse your other costs of breeding.

Trading is another possibility.

You can do a bit of everything and anything!

But they do make an excellent dietary supplement with perfect ratio of omega 3, 6 and 9, and all kinds of minerals and other goodies, yes indeed!

Been eagerly awaiting until I reach a high enough level to participate in the free seeds / trades! When that happens I’ll definitely get involved :slightly_smiling_face:

Back in my first seed making round I didn’t know how many seeds 1 plant can produce, ended up with a 4 x 8 room full of almost entirely seeded females. Learned my lesson on that one :laughing:

Here is a strain that I made back in the Sweet Dreams phenohunt mentioned in the original post.

It is Critical Sensi Star x Sweet Dreams

Some funky bud structure with foxtails, smells like sour welches gummies. It also has semi-autoflowering traits which I do believe was picked up from the Sweet Dreams (2 specimen in the 60 seed hunt were full autoflowers).

It did unfortunately also pick up the late flower nanners that some Sweet Dreams plants exhibited. Late enough to not cause major issues. I love this variety and hope that with some high population inbreeding the nanner situation can be resolved.

Yes and great for chickens too. @greenbeans506 If you want to send a couple pounds of seeds I’m sure my new chickens would thank you. Haha :wink:

Nanners could be from light stress, perhaps dim the light a little, and maybe harvest bit earlier, that should take care of it. It’s not purely genetic.

@Rogue It does appear to be strongly genetic, it really surprised me to see them becuase it is the first time I’ve had a plant nanner since the Sweet Dreams hunt 4 years ago when these seeds were made.

If I’m understanding what you are saying, it is a genetic issue that causes the plant to be more susceptible to light stress. Stress that would not effect another plant.

Is this more common with older genetics? The only strains I’ve had issues with is the sweet dreams- (big bud x Skunk) x KC606 and Amnesia Lemon (Amnesia Haze x Lemon Skunk)

Could also be that any cultivar will herm under excess artificial light, eventually, down the line… weeding them out maybe only delays it I suppose. All life is biased towards reproduction and survival.
But then again, I have no experience breeding, I’m just a pollen chucker.

Also, do you think it is possible to breed this out of a strain? Or is it not worth the effort? I wouldn’t mind keeping it the way it is, and lowering light conditions to facilitate this one variety just to grow it for myself. But would really like to get this out to the public without that light stress trait.

My plan would be to hunt a large population in a high light stress test, select only the plants that do not produce nanners. My hopes is that through a few generations the intersex trait will be out or suppressed enough to release the seeds. But I’d likely have to back cross to a earlier gen plant in order to keep the desired traits. Lots to think about…

Up to you, stress testing sounds good.
