Quick update, finally I ended up buying from MPG the lambsbread, after talking with him for some time he seemed legit, and a good worker, so I thought the price is worth it, he has a good documentation on the genetics it has, and he is a really nice guy!! Got the recommendation from @Upstate so thank you! Will upload when they arrive
Im going to germinate the double jam f4 tomorrow so we’ll see them growing soon!
Where are the 10 week plants now? Surely no one from a tropical region would allow such a fast flowering plant to disappear from their genepool? It would be incredibly popular today and would have probably taken top slot for the most common landrace of South Africa if it did exist… Farmers all around the world are hybridizing in the tropical regions in the Quest for faster plants and you’re telling me that they allowed a 10-week sativa to go extinct? I don’t buy it.
If it does not exist it’s because it was a hybrid. Hybrids change or disappear.
Here is South African Durban Poison from the 80’s, photo taken from Love of Landrace on IG. He is a Durban local and his family has been there for at least several generations. He says there are no landraces that flower in 10 weeks in South Africa.
I am still liking best the story of the Indian workers spreading Hindu Kush genetics around in the 1800’s during the Boer War era, creating a hybrid near Kwazulu/ Durban area. The local genetics would have “swallowed” these faster flowering plants very quickly, perhaps leaving some faster plants in their wake for some years, but climate would not have allowed their continued existance for very long. Mold is the great eliminator of Afghan genetics in a humid climate.
i lived in Switzerland, and i experienced how the Prohibition killed EVERY single good strain there was.
Over the cours of 2 Years , the Swiss PARADISE became Hybrid hell. i mean hell… lowest degree genetics… and consistently… trougout- Before we even had Thai sold on the Streets… Afghani, Lebanese, Pineapple Strains, perfume Strains, Berry Strains…
so,yes, its possible that prohibition did the same in origign countries… Now: you tell me the shortflowering plants are extinct at origin… Naha! they grow relatively shortflowering everyewhere in the tropics…
Yes, everything in Origincountries has changed. The laws and the Strains… not just the shortflowering…
The laws destroyed the Quality, and basically every Hippie will tell you per example Thai changed from exeptionally good, to good , to quiet good, to ok. Its no different for any other Landrace… Yes prohibition changed Strains…
Well, I am experiencing prohibition too, and strains here keep getting ‘better’ so idk what you talking about, you got to take into account that many landrace growers in their origin place they dont do the post harvest process well, thats why it ends up being ok weed, in fact how curious is that Spain exports the best cannabis in Europe, did you experienced that in Switzerland?
Also in terms of landraces is just that people dont grow them like when it was available, now they love ogpinneapplekushy doo doo, gotta keep in mind that most weed y’all get up there is exported, and before it was shitty weed, now Spain exports the best and we keep the mids, in poor countries as I said, they dont follow good guidelines for POST harvest, which is really important, i.e, here dealers when they want a quick buck, they harvest the plants and dry them in the oven/microwave, that is why its shitty, if it had propper drying and curing it would be fire like any other herb, in jamaica, weed paradise, most people dry in a cover, but in open air, same as in morocco, they dry in houses normally, but they dry the herb for months to make hash, so not the weed problem, but growers problem to try and get a quick buck, its called black market, have you heard of weed cut? Here they have seen coke, a heroin type drug and opioids sprayed into buds.
The durban landrace I got its from SA, and in fact even outdoors in winter, no watering, no feeding the buds tasted really good with a nice high, so maybe what you are getting is bad brother
well, its possible that our Situation-Change Quality-Change was not like in other places… But i think you are talking about America, 70s Weed VS 80s Weed, but thats just the Exeption. And the often poor Quality was mostly cause the Transport in hot Ships, the pressing in Bags when transported…
And cause you preffere Hybrids probably aswell.
70s Weed would be my prefferance…
The point i tried to make is that in 90 percent of cases Prohibition killed everything. And we actually spoke about origin Contries… Nobody today goes to most of Origincountries cause the good weed… Nobody.
ALL MY OPPINION
What youre talking about morrocan Hash? haha. We would laugh about 3dr Sift Morrocan Hash… thats what we got with prohibition
I prefer hybrids? Brother have you even read the thread? Literally im preserving landraces! Only hybrids I have are old school! And im not talking about 70’s or 80’s, unfortunately I couldnt try that but since I was a youngin I’ve been smoking homegrown organic weed and it has been fire! And even in the streets since I knew my people I would get some of the best of my city, but again, gotta know the right dealer, as I said the situation in Europe in this topic is extremely related to Spain, where Im from, go to Amsterdam, most of the weed is spanish, from south spain(Granada and places like that), in fact, during the lockdown, we run out of weed because everything was getting sent out since on europe its payed double the price, here we used to buy it at 2-3€(100gr or so), and hash, since we are also the europe hash gate here you can get the 100 at 2, some years ago even cheaper, and another fun fact, check out the new herb city in europe, its barcelona!!, So I know the europe thing because its strictly related to here!!
No, really. Every thread that sounds like "what was the best weed you ever smoked". there you find most post going like Panama red 1970 , Columbian 1970, Thai 1970… If you tell me otherwise, then i scratch head… seriosly.
And no entries go like : Panama red 2022… doesent happen… probaly you find an exeption… like you, but…
Oh and about the moroccan hash, while you would get henna we here smoked 00 , the thing is that that product its from the old people, and they dont give them to everyone, again, gotta know your dealer!
Bro, most people will say too the first joint they smoked was fire even if it was shitty brick. Still a lot of people that says that they grow modern polyhibrids so wtf bro there was an obvious improvement in the high, a lot of potheads are potheads just to get high! You from switzerland with the whole cbd stuff should know, they prefer shitty chemo herb than organic grown cbd sooo
please… stop it… you sadly never heard about switzerlnd . you sadly have no idea what we had. I wont reply nomore further to these trustless posts. If i say swiss weed was insane quality, then it probably was…Stop the same old implications that i just smoked first joint stop that … i cant hear this missinfomation nomre
BY BY … Forever BY! cause this is stright up missleading… again we have prohibition NOW thats why we have CBD weed, and shitty illegal hybrid mush. BY!!!
And we had 70s thai sold on Streets when it was legal in 2000!!! BY!!!
and the weed changed exactly while prohibition. BY!!!
Prohibition is exactly why faster plants have been chosen. It is the faster plants that are in no danger of disappearing. I can’t see that they could have possibly let such a fast flowering sativa disappear. I lived and grew for 30 years under prohibition. I’ve grown the same strain since 1991 and I’m not about to let it disappear.
More importantly though, I’ve been told by a local that lives in the very region said land race is allegedly from and he is telling me it does not exist. I believe him, just like I believe you that Swiss pot was awesome
Okay brother, we know you smoked the best, and I dont have any idea of anything, when i was born in a growers family lol, literally just climate says it all, y’all go to Malaga on vacation, and even here there are stablished people from europe that bring weed to your country from here, and this isnt new.
Anyway you as a supposed weed lover, idk why tf you dont know that fire genetics in bad hands are shitty, jesus, gotta do the abc too? And thats the n1 problem in prohibition that makes people grow their own, got it?, Also never said your first joint, read first, then write please, dont put words in my mouth, and as upstate said, why a fast sativa dissapeared? Have you heard of amnesia or amnesia hypro elite cuts(idk if they are the 98 originals)? Its literally a banger almost everywhere because of being a fast sativa lol
No, thats not true… Thailand grows still alot longflowering stuff, but its lost its quality. but they are still there… Now, you probably make up in your mind that everything fatflowering today in Thiland is Hybrid. thats probably what you doo, right? And i tell you , it might sometimes be old Landraces. Thats my thinkingpattern.
so…
I am openminded, and never claiming anything, for other guys, its different. think what you want… the proove you have never given to me. I need weekend now… BY upstate, have nice weekend. provide me cool, nice evidence please, cause im openminded
you implicate “what Thailand peoples would have done” . and thats not scientific.
Some still hold on to longflowering, actually alot longflowering consumer-degree in thailand. It get bricked and is sold the cheapest… Its actually the norm.
And, aahmm. for any other continent thats true aswell? i mean i see thin stuff on a daily basis on insta… (besides mexico or jamiaca)
Again bro, literally you missed the first and more important point I made, do you see how they dry weed there? Even how they smoke it? There is people there smoking seeded bud, also as well as not everything fastflowering is hybrid neither are all landraces from those climstes pure long flowering sativas
More than anything the treatment that weed receives after harvest has probably changed. Who can spend the time to dry and cure weed properly when you are illegally drying many pounds of pot? @romanoweed I’ve been looking for 5 years now and still haven’t found that 10 week landrace Sativa.
