Identify This Strain - Brown Weed

Hi All,

I have a question that may be difficult to answer. I'm a long time smoker, but am new to the wonderful world of pot culivation. I'm looking for a strain I smoked when I was a kid so I can try to grow it now.

The weed was dark brown and very heavy and rich, almost like a rich coffee/espresso taste and aroma. We called it Budha, and assumed it was some strain of tie weed. I would say it was the polar opposite of say, a blueberry or skunk strain. Those strains smell very fresh and fruity, the weed I'm looking to identify is dark brown, and the buds (all buds) were flat and not as dense as a true indica. If I had to describe the smell I would call it a cross between coffee/espresso/chocolate/tar/asphalt. The weed was so resinous that you couldn't get though a joint without clipping the end because the resin completely cut off air flow. The high was both a "put you on your ass", but also very up and social. It was probably the best weed I've ever smoke in my life and I'm not kid.

Someone please name a few strains with these characteristics!!

If you said the buds were flat that means it was compressed..I've smoked bammer weed that was all brown and full of tar when you smoked a J..It was descent, and got you pretty high...as for the coffee smell it was probably shipped in coffee beans or something like that.

Hey, why so negative. Let's start with some killer strains that cure dark brown!! Any thoughts?
I'm not being negative buddy! I'm just stating the facts. Even if you had a pic of the plant we still couldn't tell you what strain it was.

it could be jack herer seeds put in the hands of mexicans trying 2 turn a profit quickly and didn't realize what they possesed so they cured it in a big pile causing mold (why it was brown),
bricked it (why it was flat)
and shipped it in a cofee shop truck or somethin (ma explain smell)

then again that's just me lookin at a positive turned into a horrible negative

but grow jack herer anyway, people say it may be the best weed created to date

I had some bud that smelled like coffee/chocolate a few months ago. I don't know what strain it was though, and it was pretty brown. I wouldn't say it tasted like coffee though.

Back in the 80's a lot of the weed that came through the midwest was coming out of Tenn, Ky, an a few other places depending on your location. The fall harvested weed that was still around late spring and early summer sounds just like what you described. And it would knock you on your ass. Maybe thats it. just my 2 cents;-)

Jack Herer has only been around since about 1994. I highly doubt it was that.

Alot of weeds can cure to brown, depending on the method of curing it may just have been a loss of chlorophyl. As far as the buds being flat, it was probably compressed and bricked to be smuggled into the country. You mentioned Thai. That a good start, also there were some Mexican, Columbian, and Cambodian strains that can cure brown. The bad news is since seed companies started breeding strains and making hybrids alot of those pure landrace strains have been lost. The good news is that there are some new hybrids out there with some of the characteristics you mentioned; like the coffee-ish smell.

agreed, theres far too many strains to identify it even if you had pictures it would still be almost impossible to tell you what it was. Jack Herer is great man, guranteed it would be better than what you smoked that was brown. Brown makes me think of hash but if it was im pretty sure youd know the difference and weed should never be compressed, it takes away the beauty and integrity of the pot so good luck on figuring what it was out and do what the man said and get some jack

Thanks, if I had to say I would guess this was between 1991-93, maybe '94. Could you name some of those strains that cure brown, preferably sativa.
