Are there ANY pure Sativas on the market?

I ran both of those strains last year. You will hate malawi for constantly jamming a grinder due to resin. Very oily. I have to clean mine more often. Not a bad problem. The bangi is great, not too strong but good upbeat strain. It is a really good all round strain. Mine smelled like garlic mint. Both are great yielders. I made seeds from that run.

Destroyer is a super strain. I have 2 destroyer and 2 red snake seeds from cannabiogen. They are out of the seed biz now i believe so make seeds whoever has those seeds.

yeah they are out of the game for an indefinite time period. i’m trying man so hard to reverse this gal :D

most of the strains i run are from dinafem and cannabiogen and they are both out of business atm so i’m making s1s like a mf hahahah

and i definitely agree destroyer is a super strain. never grown red snake though.

just something i presumed after joining mr nice forums after buying a bunch of their indicas at auction

some of the pictures of the haze crosses and outback haze crosses there were totally wild looking, like nothing i have seen at typical breeder sites (aside from ace etc)

16+ week ripening and the plants looked alien. then i noticed all of the mr nice sativas are noticeably more expensive than their indicas

the cost to breed such long flowering space-taking plants will without question cost more to produce seeds

look at this plant someone posted of an outback haze cross. nuts

Lao sa from real seed co looks like that. Or at least the first one I’ve grown does. I botched it pretty bad but it’s at 21 weeks and just about done. Smells like rotten lime and menthol.

this was before it got really bad. Took over 8 weeks just to see pistils start turning.

Some of these strains are real finicky with feeding and will show it. I've fried a few myself even with a lower EC than I normally feed. Now I feed a very low EC. I'd rather bump things up if needed to sit and watch in horror as the leaves go south.

Yeah it’s really weird how little it eats. It’s a giant plant that eats like a seedling.

the nitrogen sensitivity was insane too, I definitely wasn’t ready for landrace yet but I guess you gotta learn somehow.

I had a male so I pollinated a little, and it made some enormous seeds that were 3x the size of the ones I planted for some reason.

bud looks surprisingly good though

Yeah u better off in seedling compost with not alot of nutes vs normal grow soil/compost for alot of landrace strains imo

Interesting ....It makes sense that the landrace stuff would not be heavy feeders. Most of them originated in hot, dry, red dirt in Mexico. I imagine that after decades of acclimating to poor soil conditions, they wouldn't respond well to a luxurious super-soil -at least for a few generations of sneaking up on it.

My last real Columbian Gold plant from 1975 bag seed,,, SoCal Days. People thought I was nuts for collecting seed back in the 1970's. I grew seed collected back in those days for 45 years. People now don't have a clue what real weed is. All this bred up hybrid goof troop, fufu weed is trash compared to the strains of old. You didn't smoke a sativa in the day and call it energetic and creative. It was all a couch lock. Indica wiped your body out and sativa wrecked your head. You didn't smoke a big fat joint in the day and go to work. There was no work after you got stoned. This last girl went well over 25 weeks flower in leggy, crazy, lady gold. Her tops were folded over and tied to the out layers. My 7' 11" Gorilla Tent couldn't contain her. Seeing she was the last one. I topped her once and let her go. I sure do miss all the old strains. And I really dislike all this goof troop, fufu weed we have now big time.

I hear you. Everyone seems to be in a race for some high THC strain with no character. Boring cookie cutter polyhybrids with stupid childish names all tasting and looking the same. It's like tomatoes. They've been breeding tomato hybrids for years that produce well and are easy for anyone to grow but all taste the same. The problem is they lack flavor which is why so many long time gardeners are growing heirloom tomatoes and older varieties have made a comeback. I see the same thing happening with cannabis. Many growers looking only for fast flowering times, high THC levels, and tastes like berries. Recently though it seems that many are tossing that playbook in the trash and are starting to grow the heirloom varieties that are much more unique in every aspect.

4 places got ahold of seeds. Okay by me. 2 tested. 19% and 20%. The place that analyzed at 20 had a special on it a couple of weeks ago. 2 grams for $34 or 1/8 for $55. Limit 1 special per customer. I like how I can say I have seeds for it and NOBODY hits me up from these posts. Because they absolutely do not know.

People are mostly chasing the highest THC strains. They want 30% or nothing. How high does it need to be? I guess some have such a high tolerance that they have to keep chasing the high. I'm happy with a 10-20% THC level and then sometimes I get too high.

I know people that probably smoke a 1/4-1/2 a day and never get the effects I get from taking just a couple of hits. I'm not using cannabis for medication so those that are should be doing what they need to. But for just the recreational user, cutting back on the potency and frequency for awhile will make smoking more enjoyable. At least it did for me and others that have taken that approach.

I dont mind high thc but it becomes meaningless in many strains today i think cos it still dont do what the old stuff does thc is just one part of a huge picture imo i dont mind 30% if it would do what you want it to but in reality i find few hype strains can and im very guilty also of the 0 tolerance breaks ive never really had one since i started toking lol i still get baked just maybe takes me more than some

I’m a firm believer in terpene profiles and the entourage effect. I’ve bought 25% flower prerolls for the drive home from Fairbanks. 45 miles of mountain road. Finish the entire thing before I get home. Lol. I don’t care what it tested at because I didn’t get any higher than with a 17% with my favorite terpenes.
