I am pretty new to this, but I got a bunch of cuttings from a friend. All his plants were in bloom so I didn't know if anything would clone. But to my amazement one called Lambs Breath took root. I got about 8 of them, 6 I just started in an indoor grow. I have tried to find out some info about them on the net, Seems no one knows for sure if in is called lambs breath or lambs bread. Or if those two are two different strains or the same strain. No one seems to know anything about the yield or flower time. The only thing I have seen so far is that everyone seems to agree it is a pure Sativa. Can anyone help with some of that info?

[h=1]Yardie Seeds - Lambsbread[/h]Jamaican lambsbread is probably Jamaican most famous weed talked about and smoked by Bob Marley and said to be his favorite smoke. There is lots of controversy about Lambsbread in the community if it’s lambsbreath or lambsbread or if they are 2 different things and how it got it’s name, if the truth be said no one really knows.
High: a very sociable high and relaxing light buzz.
Flowering indoor: 7 - 8 weeks
Yield : 400 gr. m2 (USA) 1.4 Oz. Sq ft.
Flowering: Northern October / Southern April
Genetics: Jamaican Sativa
THC: 14% +

Lambsbread if it is true lambsbread will take 16 to 20 weeks to flower, will stretch and stretch and stretch. Can be somewhat difficult in containers because of the flower time involved, not for the weak hearted or the impatient grower. I have grown this since the late 60's until about 7 years ago and just now starting again, lots of big airy buds and very potent, the original anyway. Today with so many breeders trying to cut flower times for indoor growers, I think many have lots of indica in them when they start saying flowertimes under 14 weeks, or they have shorter flowertimes sativa thrown in. I hope that you have the good stuff because it is very hard to beat for the trippy high it is possible to get. Best of luck to you.

Lamb's bread = Lamb's breath.
There is no "controversy" there; these two are the same thing.
The confusion arises because when this is pronounced with a Jamaican accent ("Lomm's brett") the two phrases sound similar, that's all.
Anyway, Lamb's bread (aka "breath") just refers to the best of the Jamaican landrace strains, and its known for a particularly racy/"speedy" high. Apparently this stuff is still grown in Jamaica, but only in remote locations, and you're unlikely to find any in a tourist trap/beach resort there.
Although the actual pedigree of this line does contain both African and Indian (ie indica) genetics, for practical purposes this is a "sativa" and as canfan says its a tall stretchy plant that takes a LONG time to finish (ie easily 15+ weeks). The pure line really isn't a good choice for indoor growing, especially for novice growers. Outdoors, its not a good choice either in most of the USA, because in most of the country, frosts will come and destroy the plants before they finish. You could probably get away with this outside in a greenhouse, or if you're in a really Southern location.

Man do I wish I had the patience to try out one of those long flowering sativas! Bet is worth it! Best wishes and hope you know what your in for...... lots of topping, training, bending and waiting for months. If you do pull it off, would you plz let us know if it was worth it? Thanks very much and best wishes.

Wouldn't assume that. There are a number of hybridized versions of this around, so maybe it is a hybrid. . .but maybe not.
While certainly not gigantic, 6ft isn't "short" either. Late starting plants may not get that tall. . .every 10 ft tall plant was once a 6 ft tall one, right? Also, proper pruning/training can both shorten plants and make them bushy.
If you want to know more, ask your friend where he got the genetics from this one.
