I’m excited about this. Over the years I made some hybrids but I have only grown one of them ever and that was my own 2 strains combined back in 2014.
Over the last 4 years I have made close to a 100 hybrids and I have only seen one of them grown. I’m like a kid in a candy store getting to watch this. I know some of the hybrids I made will be kick ass. Not knowing which ones will be kickass just adds to the mystery.

Half the fun is getting completely unexpected results. This may be a domesticated species, but nature can throw one hell of a curve-ball sometimes. I’d wager some strains were created completely by accident.

@Upstate This was one of the Oaxacan Gold beans you gave me turned out to be a male,I flowered him for pollen cut him down but the batch clumped up on me so I thought all was lost.3 weeks goes by from chop and I looked at the pot I tossed outside in my compost pile and there were 2 newly formed still trying to flower like a mad man stems that shot out the stick and grew in the freezing rain and wind storms.
I seen him and I knew I had to let the poor guy in and get warm he was cold.What a Survivor.Couple weeks after all the nonsense and he’s finally starting to pop some jagged non smooth edge non sworled leaves and normal 3 leaflets.I’m going to take him to the purple kush and see what he does and of course the Texada.He smells like a wierd 70s head shop incense I’ve never smelled anything quite like it.Thanks again for the Genetics.

This Oaxaca is incredibly hardy. That male is a survivor! I’d have brought him in use him too. I had one survive 23 degrees and another died at 19. Sounds like you have an incense pheno there. Possibly a Silversides type. They produce the tastiest smoke.

Hi everyone.
I’m astonished about how integrated the OG community are. Much respect to you all that keep the ganja plant culture in a stage that goes much beyond self-interest, and do all to keep its culture higher and higher as it should be.
I’m eager to see photos of the first sprouts coming out.
@Upstate, about something you mention earlier, do you know if there is any chance there is a not hybridized “cabeça de nêgo” around¿
I had came through some reports about the mostly known brazilian landrace, ‘manga rosa’, (I even grew a supposed one myself once, but it was difficult to tell – in brazil, usually, everything that is not in the brick form is called by ‘manga rosa’, ‘colombia’ or even ‘skunk’).
But about the pure ‘cabeça de nêgo’ landrace I had just come through some hearsay (and the dutch seed bank probably had only released it in the hybridized form).

@josuejcas The Manga Rosa in Brazil today is predominantly an old Heirloom from the 70’s, when Afghan/ Pakistan( both as I understand it) were mixed with the very long flowering Manga Rosa( 18-26 weeks flowering) The flowering time of this heirloom is 10 to 14 weeks, with half the plants being a pole phenotype and half bushy. The pole plants are the Indicas. Unfortunately many Brazilians mistakenly think this is the landrace.
Cabeca de Negro strain is similar, with afghan/ paki genes mixed this time in the 60’s or 70’s with Bahia Blackhead landrace, which hails from the Amazon Delta region. Again, pole and bush phenotypes. I did a reproduction of this one a couple years back and the Landrace Team got hold of it and is now selling it. It is NOT a landrace. I have seeds left if interested.
There are( likely) pure Bahia seeds floating around OG. @Panamajock is growing one now.
