Yes. Upstate will hopefully find a couple bleeders in the beldia landrace. that is if I can manage to keep any of them alive. At planting time most of the soil I had that wasn’t a solid block of ice was my compost, which I mixed with some perlite and some potting soil. Desert plants in cold composted compost is a bad idea. I knew better too. Moron. Damp off got me. ( one slug too)One even died in nearly bone dry compost. Bad microbes or uncompleted compost. Another couple days they should be out of the woods. Only the strong survive. ( its what people that murder young sprouts tell themselves) On a lighter note, all Malana seeds sprouted and they are in proper soil! Couple days before there is anything green to look at. Looks like Rsc solved germ issues at long last. Thank You @Guitarzan! 5/5!

I have seeds I’ve been working for a week and still getting some late starters. Lost a whole tray to some mold from a draft in the nursery. Lost half the Bangi Haze, dropped another two that took. My Ace Beldia and Panama red are going in 12/12 this weekend they should be right around 18” on day 40 from seed.

Narrow leaves on the Beldia. Just growing second set now. Get some pics at start of flower if you can. I suppose accidents happen every year… I’m not used to paying for seeds. I’m going to have to be more careful from now on!

Yeah the G13 cross is from Bodhi. It’s a strain called Jungle Spice (Congo pine x G13HP). There’s also another strain of his called Axis that I’m going to inbreed (Congo black x G13HP). And I’ve been collecting some Congolese to try – one untouched strain from Pointe Noir, Congo Black IX, Congolese from RSC and also a Congo Pointe Noir BX. The IX and BX are back/in crosses of Double Congo (Congo Black / Congo Pointe Noir).

I’ve heard of it, but I have no history with it. Not sure if I smoked it or not. I was in the navy most of the time I was there.

Yeah, we live in different times now for sure. The ‘red hair’ was a generic name for late 1970s seeded weed from either Mexico or Colombia. Lots of that was also grown locally in Central and Northern California for a few years in the late 70s/early 80s. Basically second generation ‘landrace’ sativa from bag weed seed planted and grown as sinsemilla. Not hybridized. It was cheap locally, $60-80 an oz. There were also smaller runs of early indica-sativa hybrids floating around then, like skunk, sage and red bud. That stuff was cheap at first but ramped up in price over $100 an oz fast when people back east started showing up with cash for local California weed. When things moved north to Humboldt and Mendocino in the 1980s the hybrids really took off. Mendo Purps, Big Bud, Dog Bud, etc. Lots of proprietary unnamed strains as well. For a brief time really good Mexican sinsemilla was around in the later 1970s. And it was cheap at about $60 an oz. Colombian brick was still available then for $40 an oz. then. That was seedy as all fork though and it was lowland put you under the table narcotic weed. For a while Colombian green was also available from west Colombia grown as sinsemilla. That was about 1982 or so. After that weed became so expensive I started growing more and stopped buying weed. Also in the late 1970s the Thai sticks changed from skinny sticks to the fat Buddha sticks that were dipped in hast oil. The skinny sticks were good. The fat ones knocked me out with one hit.

UW, U-Dub, U-Dub Gold or UW Purple. There are clones still around here that you can pick up at local weed shops on occasion. Several tales about it, originating in the early 1990s in a lab at either U of W or Humboldt University. Take your pick. It, like Northern Lights also from just west of Seattle are famous strains and have many cult tales of their origin. Like Northern Lights, UW is an indica dominant strain that just puts me to sleep. Other than having both here in case I cannot get to sleep, I do not smoke them much.

Just received a interesting score. 20 circa 70’s seed collected from a Washington farm. Nice looking beans, some large w/ snakeskin shells. He dropped 10 and popped 9. Been in baby jar, cool dark storage for 45 years. Not too many hybrids back then so could be interesting stock .

I lived in Bremerton about 60 miles west of Seattle. I was in the navy but had a house off base and it was pretty wide open around there back then. Everybody I knew not in the navy were growing their own pot. The plants grew like giants there. Like all things there. I remember the monsters. That’s the last place I got Thai Stick I believe. A guy on the ship was from LA and always brought some back up before we went to sea. It was the more narrow stuff and was exquisite.

I remember U Dub had a story similar to the G13 story. A stolen clone of unknown genetics.
It came from Humboldt University back in like 91/92 or something. I tried some in the 90’s and remember it being indica dom and pretty strong weed.
If you like strong strains, you definitely need to try A Dub (Sour Double x Alien Dawg)… it’s much more potent than U Dub will ever be.

I’ll be running two very different phenols side by side with Panama Red from Ace also, here’s a link to my room journals.
I’ll be moving them to flower this weekend after I chop a few Gorrilas.
