Had to give it some appreciation before I smash the hell out of it and steal all of it’s seeds. I’m enjoying every minute of pulling seeds from this intoxicating lady. Seed porn coming soon.
thanks. I’ll roll a fat one too… But I still have 5 more plants to de-seed.
These are going to be kind of like breeders packs, with seeds from 4 JS females (1, 4, 6 & 7), 2 BD females and 1 DC female, open pollinated with 4 JS males.
I should have enough for 5-10 of each for everyone.
@Phatlewtz thanks, I don’t have current plans, because I want to work on some of my own projects for the next few grows.
However, I am happy to share seeds from crosses from my projects. They won’t be made as widely available as these, but if you see something from one of my other grow threads you’re interested in, hit me up. I’ll be happy to share.
Yeah, nice job LeftHand! That’s a hell of a gift. One thing about the internet is my seed collection is really growing, and we are going to have to start teaching new growers. There will be a lot of people in the future inheriting incredible treasure chests of genetics.
I been thinking about that a lot lately for some reason. I may get a real mini vault that is fire and weather proof. It would be great that things keep on going.
Speaking of pot, can you tell I’m stoned, I can… much respect @lefthandseeds!
@GMan I think that’s a great idea. @8k_feet and I have talked about setting up a meetup group to discuss and teach home growing here in Colorado. I think it’s important to help teach people in states that have legal home grow laws.
From an advocacy standpoint, having broad support for home grows will help to create sane federal laws when the US is ready to pass legislation. I think most of us here wouldn’t favor legalization without some kind of allowance for personal grows. A lot of the voting public doesn’t necessarily ‘get’ that aspect of legalization, and that right will probably be targeted in big money politics.
And from the genetics point of view, most of these people (home growers) will be exploring further into the cannabis gene pool than the regulated med/rec markets. I think people like us, growing and sharing seeds, finding and preserving old and new lines, or even just our natural curiosity in creating demand for unique cultivars, is or will become the primary driver of genetic diversity.
Take me for instance. I had no idea about Congolese strains. Watched a Vice documentary a few years back about searching for cannabis in the Congo, and thought it’d be really awesome to try. Found @bodhi had this Jungle Spice strain, and decided to give it a go. Lo and behold, the strain really resonated with me, and I immediately felt that I’d never want to part with it. Found this preservation project about the time I joined OG a few months ago and bladooowwww, here we are.
Next stop for me on this train is an IBL of JS, and more experiments with Congolese genetics (or what few are available).
Oh yeah! fantastic. It just hit me… a lot of people will have a lot of stellar genetics to pass on, and who is gonna take control of it. if you just left it to a family member it would end up lost or in the garbage likely. Same with just a “friend”. It’s gonna need to be with people who have enough love for the plant now that will continue that for their lifetime. They have to get that bug and understand what it’s about.
Man, very cool you guys area already talking about that too. Are you up in the metro area? I’m down in the Trinidad area. I have a buddy my age coming out from Kentucky to the Springs. We plan on collaborating on a lot of stuff. He’s got a lot of the Swami Organic Seeds gems from Gas. Old school stuff with lots of Thai.
Give me a shout sometime and I’d be happy to share contacts and get together this summer maybe. We plan on having some genetic fun this year. Even though this area is way pot friendly, I haven’t hooked up with any of the inside crew of breeders yet. I’ve met a few. Or just old school growers. So, I’m into making local contacts. I love the area and the laws here. I’ve been here 2 1/2 years now and I’m dug in.
You really have my interest about the Congolese now. Someone else has been talking about it recently. Could have been on the pot cast. I’m eager to try it!
Nice, South Colorado is where I’d like to move someday. I’m up in northern Colorado.
I agree though… I don’t want to horde anything for that exact reason. If it’s a strain I care about, I’m probably more likely to try and find people to give it to.
We should do a meetup at some point. I love the stuff the Swami crew is doing. I follow their IG.
Sounds good man. Just hit me up anytime. I may be freed up a little more this spring and summer. Budget gets tight for me in the winter. We have a blues fest in August, I believe. Pretty low key here, but I love it.
Yeah, if I get a chance to head that way sometime I’ll hit you up. Are you north of the D? I’m dying to take a road trip up to Montana to where I used to live. Lots of places in Wyoming, too. I haven’t been north of Denver since moving here. I do have to go to the Broomfield area as soon as I can to pick up my old truck.
If you’re anywhere near there I could give you a shout when I go up.
My buddy has been dealing with Gas for a long time. I’m really excited to head down that road. I want that Blue Orca Haze!
Anyway, hit me up anytime and we can swap numbers and stuff,.
Nice fat seeds coming out of this one. Some of the buds are darker in color… wouldn’t call them black though. After drying, it picked up a definite kush scent.
Pretty strong effect with a good body high.
Whatever comes out of this cross should be pretty jazzy.
