SnowHigh Seeds

RenaissanceBrah said:

Any current landraces Snowhigh offers that would offer a clear, clean, funcional high?

I've been asking him via IG but don't want to spam him, so wanted to ask on here if anyone has any recommendations from his current November menu

I asked him this same question awhile back (not sure if these strains are still available). I doubt he would mind if I shared this:

"Hmm Pluto is my specialty.. haha So thats a tough one. Well sure I have some nice lines depending which direction your looking too go? If you want happy then I would recommend Mexican Hot Chocolate, its happy, smiley, electric and soaring as well as euphoric and dreamy. It is potent, but it wont cause noid issues. Something a little more centered maybe my Purple Pantera, Blazing Pantera, G-Suit, Grimm Creeper, Heroine, Bad Ass Donkey Dick B.A.D.D., Pipe Dream, Blueberry Blast, Colombian Golden Kush, Snow Mountain, Deep Shit, Devils Poison, Magic Man, Burning Spear, Ethiopian Highland x Hells Angel, Palladium, Swazi x Panama Red, I wish I had more pure Swazi as that would be perfect for you. Its great daytime smoke and not too overbearing. Congolese Black IX is euphoric and trippy but not noiding and irritating, Congolese Gold, Colombian Gold are great choices as well, the colombian gold is an enhancement high, Panama Black, very high quality high, smoke a whole joint is recommended (smile). These are all great and potent but in an enjoyable way, they can be potent and are potent as well."

Does anyone have experience sprouting Mexican Hot Chocolate? I gave it a go with about four beans but they only got as far as the tails poking out in paper towels... maybe I'll try scuffing or cracking the coat this next go around.

I highly recommend a 12 hr h2o2 soak. Get the normal 3% solution from the drug store and add 30 ml to 500 ml water. For really old seeds, I do that first, then take out the seeds and transfer them to a ph'd water mixed with Fulvic acid and liquid kelp. All of these things have studies backing them up, just google them plus "germination." But if you just try one, go with the h2o2, then place the seed directly into it's final medium, or a rapid rooter. and be sure to wash your hands very well before you touch it, the h2o2 kills all the nasty hand germs and fungus, so it helps prevent damping off too. Do this instead of scratching at your seeds-it chemically "scarifies" them. Ditch the paper towels...here is a better guide https://www.mandalaseeds.com/Guides/Germination-Guide

Id recommend doing any trick you can to get your Snowhigh seeds to pop, toughest seeds I’ve had to get to germinate.

I don’t know if he’s still telling people this but he said to crack them open to get them to germinate.

Had issues with the Acapulco Gold x C99 F2s, the High Voltage, and Blueberry Blast, the Purple Thai Haze F2s germinated just fine though.

I know theyre old.

Unfiltered,

I've been stuck on snowhigh for a few years trying to get through as many of those strains as possible.
Most of my reviews/pollen chucks are at EYE CEE MAG.

I've grown:
1. Pipe Dream
2. Black Maui
3. Dragons Fire
4. Shockwave (Male Only)
5. Golden Dragon (Male Only)
6. Blazing Dragon (Male Only)
7. Pablos Lemon Thai
8. Durban Thai Highflyer 2
9. Tangerine Sky
10. Ultraviolet Haze.

The ONLY issue I had with all of the females is that I could not seem to SAVE any......I just went straight through it all!! Could not save any because I liked them all SOO MUCH!!! I'm just starting to circle back to some of the crosses I made. Most of them are 10+ weeks to flower.

Sooo many breeders and strains out there. Somehow I fell into the Snowhigh and Ace Seeds hole, and I seem to be STUCK on SATIVA!!

Just curious, how did you like the Pipe Dream? Was also thinking about growing that one, looks good

PS - how often does Snow come out with new seeds?

Wondering if I should order from the November menu, or wait until new seeds come out... not sure if it's once a year, or more often.

Email and ask for the most updated menu he has and he'll email it to you. It make take a bit for a reply, but he'll get it to you.

Edit:I think they're monthly/bi-monthly

I don't think he necessarily restocks strains very often, but comes out with new things all the time. I think a lot of his current stuff will end up being a little older... If you email him he'll help you out and surely give you some deals if you are on a budget.

I'm about ready to pop a few of the blueberry blast and blackberry spacewreck. Hopefully find a few tasty phenos if the germ rate is good. He told me they were kind of lagging lately on the germ rate for both of these but we'll see.

Thanks guys. Anyone know the differences between Snow's Panama Red's?

I want to get a Panama Red, but not sure which one to get ('16, Sweet Red Berry, etc).

I hit up Snow on IG but haven't heard back in a few weeks.

I'm looking to grow pure landraces, not sure if once the PR goes, it won't be back for a long time.

I already have some AG from another preservation project, so was thinking of going with the PR to grow out some of the more legendary strains, and then try growing Highland Guerrero, Michoacan, and then Thai's and Lesothos, etc.

I'm pretty sure the PR sweet berry, and blue, are from the '16 preservation run just separated by pheno.

Just curious, which strains of those were your favorites?

How was the Pipe Dream? I was eying that one as well

mawasmada said:

I almost ordered that recently, but went with the Angola Red instead. I may still pick up some of those beans. Thanks for sharing.

Edit: I've also got Golden Dragon, and Black Congolese IX coming in the same order.

Just curious Mawasmada, how did you like the Golden Dragon and Black Congolese, what were the effects like?

I've not run them yet. Unforseen events caused me to put off grows for a while. I'll be back up and running by December, latest.

mawasmada said:

Also, I gifted half of my Golden Dragon. I may get more, but I have so much I'm really trying to slow down the bean buying especiallly with not growing for a few months.

Thanks for the update M - did you end up growing any Snowhigh gear? Wondering how the strains were if you did get a chance

I got a growers pack of blueberry blast a couple years ago. Supposed to be 100 seeds, got 120. Gave about 30 away.

Guy I gave em to said he was having issues so I popped 20 with no intention of growing the plants out. I chose the one vial of 20 that had mostly viable seeds. Figured they got fucked in the mail or something.

Fast forward to a few months ago. Put a vial in paper towels, nothing after 72 hours. Manually crack a few, some had dead embryos.

Determined to get some value out of these I tried everything I had available. Soaked the rest in h2o2, followed by urb, busted out the seed cracker. The other 3 vials had 3 grow taps and die.

Pretty sick, had the chance to grow like 10 of these 120 and didn't.

Wasn't expecting the germ rates to be completely dogshit aids. Was thinking these were seconds, 50% germ rate or somewhere around there. Got 100 seeds suited for a smoothie and 20 possibly viable ones.

Was wanting some Johnny blaze in my life. I didn't plan on having to go to my back up option of jb x c99.

Well damn I just tried to germinate 4 out of 40 that I have on the 14th and believe I will be having a similar experience with the rest over the course of this next year. Great breeder but those ones I'd guess are duds at this point. Almost want to germ all the other 36 right now out of curiosity, my luck is half would germ and I'd be stuck tryna figure where to put 18 Blue Dream hybrids. Again great breeder and even nicer guy, but some of the old stock is a decade old.

He has a lot of interesting offerings for sure but the prices are nuts

I need to get running some since I've spent a small fortune on his gear haha

I have 60s Colombian Red and Tangerine Sky going right now. Flipped to 12/12 today.

Have one of his Acapulco Gold purple stem Bx running and just jarred up a Purple Mexican Thai a few days ago. I also tried to pop a handful of the Blueberry Blast a while back with no luck.
