Out of likes so this will have to do.

[Chronickyle]

With all this attention he needs to add a skill testing question to qualify.

[Slick1]

Is that what you’re all listening to? I’m listening to this

The Raid

[Donnie]

After the announcement, everyone who has previously commented needs to attend a meeting

[darkillusion]

Sorry rehab is for quitters.

[Chronickyle]

If I attend a meeting they will convince me to call dibs instead of not dibs before you all :). I know how the meetings work here!

[Donnie]

I didn’t say rehab lol

Go to dinner and come back to 90 replies in this thread.

Free Seed Friday

The way this works is I will post up three packs of seeds. The first three people to comment “dibs” will win a pack. If you have won a pack in the previous four weeks, you are excluded from this giveaway.

This week up for grabs are three packs of Zak Haze S1 made by @Howard.Crane. I had given him a cutting of this plant and he reversed one and made these S1s. These are feminized photoperiod plants with the potential to produce some CBG.

Zak Haze is a special plant with a special story.

@ReikoX

Killer Haze(Killer Queen x SSH) x Strawberry Cough = Zak Haze

This strain is dedicated to one of our dear family members that is no longer with us, Zak Hayes. Zak, was a dear friend, committed cannabis activist, and a true believer in the healing powers of medical cannabis. Being a cystic Fibrosis patient with an inherited life threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system never got him down, never slowed his enthusiasm and never ever, became a crutch or an excuse. The fact that he knew he had a short ride ahead of him never dampened his vision of the future. In fact, it fueled his passion and drove him to become a well respected member of the New Mexico medical cannabis industry. In his short career, Zak worked with several of New Mexico’s finest producers and was well liked and loved by his co-workers and managers alike. He made an impression wherever he went. Zak has been part of Organtica’s family since the very beginning and was there every step of the way.

Many of us in the community were devastated at his passing and as we struggled to find sense in it all, we wondered what Zak would have thought about it.

The answer was pretty clear; we needed to develop a strain and dedicate it to our friend and, thus, the Organtica strain Zak Haze was conceived.

The funny thing about Karma is, it works both ways. In this case we developed a great strain that came in with a respectable THC count of 20.75%, and after sifting through test results we discovered a little secret. Not only was Zak Haze high in THC it also had an unusually high CBG-A content of 1.2%.

So What? Who cares about CBG-A?

If you are a patient, you do. The bottom line on CBG-A is this; it’s the magic ingredient that makes the cannabinoids work together as medicine. To put it in other words; Cannabigerolic acid (CBGa) is formed when geranyl pyrophosphate combines with olivetolic acid within the cannabis plant. It is thanks to CBGa that all other medicinal effects of cannabis are possible. Cannabigerolic acid (CBGa) can be thought of as the stem cell cannabinoid, which becomes THCa/THC, CBDa/CBD, CBCa/CBC, and CBG. It does this through different types of biosynthesis, where chemicals combine to form new compounds, examples being the THC biosynthase and the CBD biosynthase.

CBG-A is:

Analgesic – Relieves pain.

Antibacterial – Slows bacterial growth.

Anti-inflammatory – Reduces inflammation systemically.

Anti-Proliferative – Inhibits cancer cell growth through apoptosis.

To put it simply; This is a really tasty flower that is also great medicine that just happens to honor our dear friend.

Would you like to be able to grow your very own Zak Haze? Stay tuned, we have some exciting news to share regarding Zak Haze clones coming in the very near future.
