The Mexican Landrace Thread

Do you think terpenes can have multiple purposes? Maybe like warning predators to hit the trail or pollinators come and get it? :+1: I think it is a good line of thought.

I remember when I was young all the seeds from the Mexican and Columbian
Were small and dark
my best buddie @DainIronFoot brought home some afghan from his college connection that shit blew me away
It was like getting hit by a train
The seeds were large and speckled color
I kept those seeds in my pocket for most of my senior year but never grew them out
I wish I had
Back then home grown was crap because they never finished in Missouri mince afghan genetics were injected things started improving for Missouri growers
The Oaxacan I’m growing now has the tiny seeds i remember from high school and the same high
Our connection used to be a guy at a store that actually had a drive up window and you could get a brown paper bag of Mexican for ten bucks!
I liked it
Oaxacan reminds me of that weed. No heavy mental trips or paranoia
It doesn’t put you to sleep
You just get high !

“My name is Upstate and I’m a landrace snob”
( cue sympathetic head bobs from the other snobs)
It all started with just one Oaxaca pack
…lol. LSA. Landrace Snobs Anonymous :rofl:
@Trowertripper i pulled out some 6 month cured 3 sisters pink stem, and my goodness its powerful. Had me zoned out Watching television , which is extremely rare for me these days. Ended up staying up until twelve thirty and watched two whole movies back to back, baked the whole time off 2 bowls. I was halfway through the second movie before.I realized it was a different movie​:rofl::joy::rofl: Most of them are exactly as you said. Just the perfect daytime weed or hang out weed. But there’s that drunk pheno we found too. Id sure like to know what’s in that one that it gives that strange effect. Do you remember any like that from back in the day?
Its not sleepy, its just incapacitating.

I just figured out how to see comments. Ever since OG Changed the format I stopped getting replys to comments…just messages. I thought no one wanted to talk to me anymore lol. I have two hundred and twenty nine responses left to make🤣
Glad that Huixtepec turned out well. She’s a real looker. That tropical sun definitely added some resin!

All 3 popped, and i added 10 of the same 3rd generation Silversides seeds that made the 3 sisters. So I guess I won’t be finishing my project…just adding to it this summer. I want to add some keepers to the 3 sisters line before bringing it forward a generation. I typically post in the Central American Landrace thread, and here once i have bud porn to share.

Thats neat stuff right there!

I always thought there were more feral genetics in these plants. Less man and more Nature. Makes sense They could take care of themselves better. They probably make a quicker or a more efficient meeting with fungus and microbes in the soil. Neat.

FWIW, the Green Mountain Oaxacan Gold was a spectacular plant for me this winter. Definitely not his pure original IBL, but the fragrances are terrific and remind me of some of the other Oaxacans or Oaxacan crosses that I have grown. A really nice smoke and worth growing for sure.

Good to hear! Plan on a small outdoor run this year, may be the only northern adapted mexican out there! Did it have decent sized flowers running up the branches or just large flowers on top?

@Upstate
I’m growing out seeds from my best producing Oaxacan f3 female (counting the ones you sent me as f1) so I’m in hopes I find the “drunk pheno” in a good production plant. My drunk pheno was a pearl stem and had very little production
I’m hoping for the best of both world although the “drunk pheno” was a stinky little girl :girl: and I prefer the lime smell a little more

Flowers had a chunkier shape but were actually slightly on the airy side. As you saw from the many pictures I posted they were covered in trichomes. Nice flowers all around, not just the tops. If you’re growing outside then I would just say to make sure they get plenty of sun.

I was thinking maybe fermenting the onions for a tea.
Horsetail is up in my area and is supposed to be a great source of silica.

Any sense of the flowering time-range across phenos? I was thinking about running some outside.

I would guess 12-13 weeks. I would pick a branch or two earlier maybe though, just to catch a taste when the fragrance is at the peak. Really nice floral and sweet aromas.

I’ve had amazing experiences from his gear.
I’ve also soaked packs of his seeds with no germination.

He has/had access to really good genetics - especially Mexicans.
But unfortunately some of his work has phantom genetics in there usually hype or BLD stuff that he doesn’t list. He also isn’t transparent about provenance and will make something like TSC’s Congo hybrid sound like some kind of mythical strain smuggled back by someone in the 1800’s.
So as long as you due research and know what lines he’s using, there’s gold to be found in them hills.
I’ve never paid for his genetics when I got them a decade ago. But I don’t know if I’d be happy paying a couple hundred bucks a pack when a collective using the same seed stock is releasing them for 80/pack.

The best lines of his I’ve grown were High Voltage, Devils Tit, Zamal. The Zamal was the only one that was pure, the other two were Dutch hybrids but absolutely phenomenal.
I think his gear is worth preserving, but I wouldn’t buy anything these days from him
