Those flowers sure are pretty! They look chunky and that resin is thick.

What are the parents/lineage behind those plants? What sort of smell do they have going on?

Thank you. They have landrace and old-school genetics behind them, depending on the particular plant.

I've got more than 10 strains at the moment, based on different genetics. For example, White Afghani has an old-school White Widow clone plus Afghani and Pakistani landraces in its genes.
The smell is musky, earthy, and black peppery; some of the strains have a skunky or medicinal smell, while others smell of berries and fruits - it really depends on the particular strain.

Awesome!

Sounds like some lovely genetics, and certainly stands out from all of the poly-hybrid sweet/candy/dessert strains that are everywhere/popular these days (At least here in the US). I dig and enjoy "old school" stuff like that, stuff with Afghan and Pakistani roots, those sorts of aromas/scents, and I also find 'em to often times have a much "richer" high/medicinal effect (even if the THC % isn't super high) compared to a lot of what's popular now.

I'm growing a strain that has its roots from Afghanistan, "Humboldt-Afghani"...The original strain was purely Afghan but the breeder's plant developed a disease so they used some males from their more modern strains to mix in some genetic diversity and selected a male & female from those runs that most closely matched the original. So the purely Afghan genetics have been "watered down" a lil bit but it's my first time growing a strain that's mostly Afghani.

Some day, mostly whenever I have the space to do so, I do plan on playing around with making some of my own crosses...I'd like to toy around with Landrace & Heirloom & Old school genetics, as well as crossing some of that stuff into some of the new/modern strain that I enjoy.

It’s day 2 of rec sales in my state. Just had a one-hitter bong slide of this stuff and I’m liking it. Compared to my first shopping trip to MI, my experience today was just far superior in almost every way.

Legally mandated off weights and general expense were the sole downsides. If you aren’t aware, Ohio requires dispensaries sell by the tenth of an ounce, 2.83g, and you simply can’t buy the standard 3.5g eighth. But that’s still rather close, and the price is a tad steep but honestly not too egregious. It works out about to what I would pay for good pot on the black market, I’ve just gotten used to the low prices up north.

Right on!


That's interesting they structured the weight system by tenths of an ounce instead of by 1g-1/8-1/4-1/2-1 ounce that is the standard/traditional lol. I wonder what the reasoning behind that is?


How much did that "tenth" cost you, before taxes and after/out the door?



Generally speaking most of the herb I see in all the stores I've been to in California is very midsy/mediocre and much more expensive than the black/traditional market....a lot of it has the looks or doesn't look bad but is lacking aroma and flavor. The higher shelf stuff is pretty expensive, $35 to $50 an 8th. When I do get herb from the store (only when I run out of my home-grown and when I'm not able to get any from anyone) I usually get stuff around $15 to $25 an 8th, it's good just doesn't have strong aroma/flavor.

But from the black/street market around my area, top shelf flower goes for almost 1/2 the price of mids from the store lol...$40 to $60 for 1/2 ounce.

Ever since things went "legal" here in Cali prices have dropped a lot, but so has the quality of most of what's out there.

anyone remember fletcher maybe 15-20 years ago this thread made me think of him, he was on here way back in the day with me but he mostly just p.m-ed me I don't think he ever posted much was when he was first starting growing

anyhow last I heard this was still awhile ago he had rainbow belts original cuts floating around the landscape that was a bigger strain from him i heard of but i need to figure out what he did because im sure by now he has atleast a few dispensaries probably in colorado or oregon.

my time on this forum goes pretty far back, actually long enough back I can't even use my original account to sign in because they discontinued that email webservice

It’s 150-200$ for a 1/2oz.
They even sell the trim and popcorn buds for barely any cheaper.
Ithe whole system is jacked up but as long as people line up around
The block to get their head cracked, they’re not going to change stuff.
I was like the shit you guys blast is trim and lard and you want 60$ a gram! Crazy!
I miss California
Edit:  like it’s not illegal anymore but they’re going to mass produce it and sell it at the same price.
They mark everything up so
They can say they’re having a 30% off deal and still fuck you with no lube.

There’s lots of good bud on the black market in Ohio, we got county’s known for dank bud!
