@Instg8ter our Zacatecas tribute is already sold out and it sounds like there will very few if any chances to get them. Take care of those plants. You are my back up plan. I’m waiting to get a decent tent before running mine.

If I get a pair I’ll make some seeds if not I’ll collect pollen, have two in sexing now.

You are the best. I’m tempted to say some bad things about the ACE situation but I’m gonna hold it. I was very lucky to get these

Glad I found the Greenpoint description, I remember reading that when we traded, and Ace came up first when I searched strain. Have a few trip weed seeds I wanna send you too.

This is a cut of Michoacán I grew out from Old World Organics/landrace preservation society this fall. Collected in Mexico, open pollinated in the PNW, and selected over several generations to bring down flowering time. Indoor organic grown under LEDs in no-till coots mix. Smell is pine and petrichor, like walking through the forest after it rains. Super clear headed and uplifting effect with a psychedelic edge but much less anxiety-prone than any other equatorial I’ve tried. Closest thing I’ve ever had to it was BSHW. @Upstate heres those pictures you were asking about

I actually just finished some Columbian Gold from world of seeds in my last grow. Only found one female that was a keeper of 10 seeds and chucked some pollen on it. Smell and taste kind of reminded me of captain crunch without the berries

Hello guys, I just forcibly harvested one of my unknown plants for being hemaphrodite …
Due to its characteristics, it seems to me an inheritance, or something that is not very selected:
- very thin buds and hemaphrodite genes …
As I had an early male, it generated some seeds.
Is it worth investing in this genetics to remove the hemaphrodite characteristic?
Some pictures:

That’s a tough call. Hermaphrodite genetics are usually associated with landrace plants. If you feel that this most closely represents the paraguayan landrace that is disappearing , it might be worth investing sometime into it. You would have your work cut out for you though. Seeds from hermaphrodite plants will make more hermaphrodites as you know. But, people have done such a thing with Thai genetics, weeding out the hermaphrodites over many generations. You might be better off looking for a similar plant that doesn’t Xpress hermaphroditism

That looks like some killer Bud right there!

Man, you know when you smell and taste and go back to the place where you found it … The place is Juazeiro, in Bahia, northeastern Brazil …
The first pollination occurred with pre-flowers from a neighboring male … So they are practically ripe … The hemaphrodites came later …
What do you think?

Did anyone ever grow the Guatemala by Ace seeds? I did some years back, I had crazy herm issues and almost lost my harvest because of it. Only think I only finished one or two of them because the rest were either males or hermied

I think you should follow your nose lol. Those early seeds will probably be good. You talking about the ones that are right along the main stalk? I’d say it safe to use them

Never grew it, but it was on my list of strains to pick up, and then it disappeared. Maybe the hermaphrodite issues were the reason why. It looked like it was worth working with. Heavy yielder. Their Honduras looks good too. I was interested in the one that has a 1-hour buzz. If you only have a little bit of time to enjoy a decent Buzz, that seems like the one. That’s the one you smoke on the way to your mother-in-law’s house LOL

It was a decent yield for the somewhat weaker lights I had at the time. I didn’t know it was discontinued but that may be the reason. I even pollinated one and only got a handful of seeds but I gave them away (with explanation of course) because I didn’t want to spend extensive time breeding out that trait when I was just experimenting with crosses anyway.
I’ll have to look into the Honduras one, 1-hour buzz sounds perfect!

If you have them separated work the early line a few generations of 20 sprouts right into flower room. Have each set of 20 ready to go in 2weeks apart. Weed out any bananas (herm) and destroy, segregate males for pollen collection. Grow out first females. Second set of females get open pollination with all males mix pollen. Same with third set only start selection and breed similar male and females for F3’s

I couldn’t resist and tried it in advance, despite very little yield, the taste is very pleasant, slightly stimulating.
Yea…
@ Instg8ter, I will save it as seeds and do more research to acquire the necessary knowledge … I started a little at OG …
I don’t stop apprehending …
I’ll follow your tip …
We’re always used to pictures of huge buds,
Has anyone seen something like this? If anyone kept it until today, there must be some reason …

I always heard Chocolate Colombian was the elusive wacky weed, not Colombian Black. It’s hard to say if the Choco Chiba strain is that though, because there is a region of Colombia known as the Choco district, and the name might just be a reference to where it’s from. I grew a cross that had Choco Chiba in it, and while it wasn’t dark like chocolate in color, it did eventually turn a burnt orange to light brown in color… It didn’t smell or taste anything like chocolate… more of a woodsy, citrusy thing. It wasn’t like the best weed ever, but it was certainly good… Maybe if it was pure it would be better… … I’ll also mention that “chiva” is slang in some areas for opium gum or cheap-shit black tar heroin, so there could have been a point where people were selling opiated Colombian buds that looked very dark, and people mistakenly thought it was just the strain… I like to think it was the strain though, and that it is still out there somewhere.

Signed up for Full Moon and Crazy Train this season along with some old seed stock I’ve gathered that may or may not make the cut.
I’m running Full Moon (Nirvana) in June as I just finished a run of it for breeding and already have some pollen from three males mixed and some original seeds to add to the diversity.
In my opinion of the legal number of plants I am allowed to grow and posses 
it’s
my favorite strain of this season and ranks with the big boys as far as Heavy Hitters with some trippy-ness to it.
Here is the x I made with the brutal paw both ways (M,F F,M) with and it will include the Black Phenos . Notice the first real leaf deformation showing in all of them.
Thinking of calling it Freakers Ball or FBOG that’s what I imagine the Full Moon Parties would be like from photos and members descriptions.
