Strawpicanna is from Oni/Harry Palms, it is a cross between the 14er strawnana cut and tropicanna cookies. The cut used in the cross is from the Gastown collective in BC.
Iraqi Pilgrim is from Baldman Lala at the Derg Corra Collective. His friend Hassan collected a variety of seeds during a pilgrimage in Iraq, the seeds were mixed and reproduced, resulting in a variety of iraqi phenotypes, ranging from Pakistani influences to lebanese influences. I reversed a pheno that flowered under 18/6 and hit itself and strawpicanna.
Orange Goji F2 I got from Sebring but I think 50state made the F1. It is Goji OG x (AE77 cali-o x ssdd)
He @docz, seedheaven has such a great collection. I have looked at those Iraqi Pilgrims a few times but didn’t pull the trigger. Everything looks dialed and top notch. Great stuff.
For deficiency man do they look beautiful.I’m kicking myself for never being able to get any seeds off any of the locals or Terps when I was in Iraq.All those genetics in those little spots I seen twords Tikrit and Al Amarah was very diverse.All the smoke I could get in Iraq was mostly Hash.Weed was hard to find and if you did it was super dry still smoked good was stinky as all hell not a single seed like ever.The ughandis would sell you rock hard buds that smelled like straight funk and skunk that you had to break it up with a coffee grinder damn near.It was wrapped in black trash bags in balls they seared the plastic and put it down 2 liter bottles of coke that was recapped.You could walk around with the bottle under your arm right by MPs your chain of command,shit the COP mayor and no one knew the better.
Oh shit that is some unexpected experience. Really cool to learn!
Your experience is why Im also weary about the actual provenance of these beans. Baldman Lala got them with a story, from a dude named Hassan. It could be true, might not be, but there certainly is a range of expressions in these beans. Im not so sure it would be so different vs grabbing some afghani/pakistani/lebanese.
I did not getting skunky funk with the ones I tried, but I also really just dipped my toe into the pool. @CapnCannabis
Looks fantastic. White Buffalo seed collective in Canada has also done some work with the Iraqi pilgrim and are currently available. Just picked up some sunshine pilgrim and pilgrim OG.
