Test drive on the two 70ās Re-mix from @Pawsfodocaws. Smaller plant showed hybrid I would say, leafs mid size airy buds scent of dirty pine needles, smoke similar with a little lemon zest aftertaste. Not all together unpleasant, shorter buz than Iāve become used. That said, GG4 is my daily meds at over 30%, vaping 80+ A few times during the day so I would not expect to get toasted on yesteryears 10-15.
Bigger plant with dense buds is either a straight or mild cross of an Afghan kush I would guess, smell is pure freshly tanned leather with a burning tire after taste laid back buz seperating brain from body and pain. Very pleasant and rising to a level just below couch lock before slowly floating down. Lingering smoke after leaving room and coming back in was a combo of the leather/rubber thick and lingering.
Iāll add these here so as not to upset Mr.B but this Poison Maui is showing massive Sativa Stretch, from @Archimage, I believe he said it was Maui x Transekie x Lesotho ? Im thinking this one may have to go on the floor by the time all is said and done. She is two weeks in flower.

Sheās a tall drink of water! @Instg8ter, You sir are a wordsmith! Excellent description of the high and right on point as Iāve smoked a ton of it here in South Texas. I remember when the Afghan influenced weed hit the valley. I was somewhat of a weed broker in those days (many years ago) and it was very exciting. I miss the sweet pine flavors of the good Mexican Sativa. Great post. Nice Sativa girls you got there hombre!

according to Kevin Jodrey any landrace that humans touch and manipulate are actually called ācultivated varietiesā
i grew some Roberts Creek Congolese, which is close to a landrace itself.
I hit it with a Mozambiquian Sativa from other side of Lake Malawai.
I havent ran offspring yet. Long flowering.i flowered the RCC for 70 days
A buddy worked with the RCC too, hybridizing it.
pure lemon terps, nice quality high.

Back in the day 71-72, if you had the connection you could get little bundles of colas lightly pressed but not ābrickedā. Very little of that stuff stayed here in Texas. You couldnāt get enough $ for it here. Believe it or not we took ours straight to Sausalito and sold it.

the Congo pictured here is i believe its F3 of straight Congolese.Its Vision Creators cut of R.C.Congo
I have a few beans of the following:
R.C.Congo x Riftberry; R.C.C. x Mozambiquian Sativa; R.C.C.X CherryWise cbd F1ās and 1 other seed of R.C.Congo(reversed to make male pollen) hitting itself as a male.
Congo is strong genetically.
I suspect the Congo will be the dominant pheno of any seed plant hybrids I haveā¦
This Congo was discovered on or near Lake Malawi in Africa. Sheās 70- days to flower, tho started flowering outdoors in a container (pictured) around August 1st last year outdoors and finished by second week of Oct.
Perfect finishing plant for here in just north of Toronto Canada.

I have been off the forum boards lately. Got a new computer and have not caught up on the forums. I am growing early strains this year, and that is good since it is already starting to rain here this summer. Or rather, it never stopped. My Morocco is almost ready to harvest. I am just waiting for the seeds to ripen. I got these indirect from Ketama through friends in South Europe. They are looking good. The Sinai are looking rather weak in comparison. A more wild strain I guess? They are also blooming, as are some hemp x mj test crosses. The hemp hybrids have pretty multicolored flowers now. I also have a GSC plant growing for my brother, some Mendocino underground strains (literally grown underground there), and Kona gold. Most of the Konas were males, sadly. But I will clone the gals before I make seeds and run them in the winter for a spring bloom for more bud. Other than that I have been working on my house this summer. And I got a new Nikon camera and I have been out doing Milky Way and comet shots at night. Not tonight though, it is raining here now.

I have some old underground comix that I collected in Berkeley in the1970s, and Wonder Worthog is one of them.

Lebby is interesting and variable. One plant I grew knocked my socks off. Really good and potent. Likely low on CBD is all. Some were more mild and higher in CBD. I have gown about 20 of them now. They are consistently inconsistent. Variable in THC and CBD. The hash I made from them (sifted using an ice cream maker in a freezer with a poly screen sieve) tastes just like old school hash from Lebanon. Its amazing stuff from my own grows! Blonde hash was said to be early harvest is all to get out early in the season. The plants are all the same genetic landrace there. I have not seen any variation in multiple sourced beans from Lebanon. Bekka Valley, mountain or lowland. The Red was later harvest stuff with ripe seeds. As for height, that is typical that they grow lower when outdoors here. But if pampered and given heat, they can soar to 12 feet in height. But generally they bloom so early that they do not gain that much height.

Holy! Lebanese can get up to 12 feet huh? Amazing the difference good soil, heat and plentiful water can make. Iāll have to give Lebanese another shot. I keep hearing that the good ones are very good.
That trick with the ice cream maker sounds very intriguing. Can you explain that in more detail please? This method would preserve all the terpenes, correct? I plan on doing a seed run with Malana, and it would be nice to make some hash out of it if the plants make it that far. You were growing some other landraceās this year as well werenāt you? What else do you have going on?

Question, I have some Fullmoon from Nirvana,
Question is whether Koh Phangan is a Landrace thai from the island, is 91 day plant that looks very wild?

The 12 foot tall Lebbies were in a hot greenhouse, planted in the ground in tilled soil that was fortified with kelp, hoof and horn meal, blood meal, and pearlite. In that one case, they were too well pampered. Similar to a grow he did in California in the 1970s where he had plants from Mexico lid seeds 18 feet tall. Lots of days over 100 degrees and they stretch like mad. They love the heat!
The ice cream freezer hash making method preserves all the terpenes and flavenoids. The hash tastes just like the sifted and pressed hash from Lebanon in the 1970s. I keep the hash as a powder, but you can press it. Manala creme hash is made a different way. They rub the fresh blooming plants for the resins. But the frozen sifted method would work well to make great hash. Once you make the hash, you can freeze it and it will last virtually forever. I got the idea of freezing hash from Ed Rosenthal. They age hash in cool cellars in North Africa for over 18 months to mellow it. I have yet to try that with my Morocco landrace hash.
I got the idea for the modified ice cream maker sieved hash machine from another site online. Then I bought a small chest freezer to run the machine in horizontally, and whallah! Fresh frozen sifted hashish. You need to let the weed dry, cure and age at least a few months before sifting. That is what they do in Lebanon. One of their trade secrets. The ice cream maker method is here on opengrow (vs overgrow) the web: https://www.opengrow.com/topic/46377-diy-ice-cream-machine-hash-tumbler/

Believe it or not a lot of that brick weed (not all of it) is actually quality herb if grown right, kept unseeded, harvested at the right time, and dried and cured properly. I still have seeds of some brick my buddy got when he was broke and kind was still selling for $50-$60 per eighth (3.5g). That brick weed gave us all a trippy and borderline paranoid buzz. Iāve grown schwag/brick before that came out excellent. Some very piss/urine/ammonia smelling. When I smell the Arcata Trainwreck it almost reminds me of it. SnoCap is another strain thatās smelled like some schwag Iāve grown. Never will forget the cinnamon and cedar smelling bud I also grew from some schwag.
Still have those seeds from that schwag I mentioned my friend bought. Youād be surprised what some proper care will yield. There must be a reason theyāre growing that herbā¦ Suggest yāall give it a try if youāve got any saved yourself. Iām waiting on the right time to pop those seeds. Hopefully I wonāt be disappointed and theyāll be like the herb my friends dad used to grow back in the day, because I know he grew his herb from seeds that were originally schwag. Hell, my first grows in middle school from those seeds rivaled a few phenos that came from Dutch Passion packs. But i also got some great phenos from those DP Power Plant, White Widow, and Durban Poison.
Once I have the room Iāll do a detailed thread on those seeds. I think itāll be quite surprising.
Btw @Instg8ter do you happen to be in touch w Howie? Really miss those Chocolate Piss and Chocolate Thai 2.5sā¦ Those were great. Hope heās alright as I havenāt seen him on BreedBay in quite some time. Although the forum was dead for a bit. Iām hoping it makes the rebound. Original OverGrow, HG420 (aka HomeGrown420), and BreedBay were all my homes for quite some time. Will always cherish the relationships Iāve made on the forums. Without them, I wouldnāt be the grower nor have the knowledge on cannabis that I am and have today.
Have a great Fried-Day yāall!

The arcata trainwreck definitely came from mexican stock. It was an easy to grow high yielding selection from mexican import.
Does the snocap still exist anywhere?
I smoked some of that one night when I was in high school, and I was just flying. Amazing uplifting sativa experience.
I actually just got in touch with my old buddy from the emerald triangle who grew most of the stuff I smoked in high school, and was also our connection to humboldt/ mendocino outdoor bud in general. We smoked a looooot of green crack which was the main outdoor cash crop at the time.
It will be cool to reconnect with him next time he is in my area.
