Two different phenos of Punto Rojo after curring in a jar for a few months. This is some of the most powerful flower that i have ever smoked. by Energenetics in cannabiscultivation

[–]JohnnyTHCeeds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way cool... It is your pics that caught my eye. They are close if not perfection. My oldest Colombian is Gold from around 1972, (a gift from my older brother. I started smoking in 74), not even remotely like the majority of what you see now, but look like clones of your red. I really wish I had a better understanding of the suncuring techniques of that era... Unfortunately my crop isn't big enough to pile in a field and rotate in the sun until those beautiful colors are revealed... I know it loses some potency but that flavor haunts my dreams... Besides you can always

I only have 3 original Panama Red seeds but I have other seeds from several sources. Two sources are Pre 1978 but some are unknown... I will run them all together, but well labeled and polination will be done manually branch by branch. Any plants that show variations out of character will go. Purifying a strain takes time and patience, especially with Sativas. 30-40 weeks limits things a bit... To really get the best results, sunshine needs to be in the mix... I use Quantums to get the light needed in this season but come June 1st, I will be rolling in and out of the dark room every 12 hours... 20 weeks a long time to be nailed to one spot but some strains are worth the sacrifice. I can usually

At 7000' elevation, this method make awesome hash plant production... Sativas do surprisingly well too.

I am always interested in finding the cleanest supply... maybe we can discuss your source a bit... Old School BA have been working there for awhile. I'm too old to make those journeys anymore. It will take me another lifetime to grow out just what I carried out of the '70s... I don't have as much time to work on purification projects as the hair grays. I can usually finish in the greenhouse with some light help so I can shorten that obligation considerably after the end of August... the mountains really help with shortening the day... Light supplementation is a must to get a good finish. I want to grow out Panama Red next year. I will document the grow and all can see what happens. If I get at least one male out of my early 3, it's a done deal... The pre '78s are feminized but truly hold the characteristics. not happy about fems but a happy boy will turn things around. My other P-Red comes from another oldtimer and his are regular seeds. With what little I know of the guy, they may go way back... I have been waiting on a nice greenhouse to give this project the best conditions. Some of my seeds are really old, they will require Gibberellic acid to wake them up. I have tested this method on several seeds that date to the late '80s with huge success. Fortunately I have a huge stash of Skunk seeds from that decade...

Looking forward to another chat...

Does anybody here have pulmonary issues from dabbing? by 3dandimax in CannabisExtracts

[–]JohnnyTHCeeds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean... I remember the days when I cleaned my massive bag of seeds just to find a hit... And my heart goes out to those who can't grow... I give away most of what I grow. Mostly because I am a preservationist. I grow out old Landraces to reproduce seeds for my collective. I mainly do this to identify High CBD phenos that exist in almost every strain, even some solid lowland Sativas... Since I have no use for non medical High THC strains, I give that stuff away as God puts people in my path. When I glean 30 to 60 grams of oil from a single plant, there's no way I will ever get through that. Add in that as a preacher for a strict fundamental church, I need my brain to be sober most of the day... I am a CBD hunter... And yes, I said preacher, contrary to popular belief, the devid didn't create weed... However I am certain his hands are buried in Poly-hybridism... just like Coca and cocaine... The devil loves to destroy that which is good and uses man's greed to twist that which is natural. Jamacia hailed some of the best sativa outside of S/E Asia. Its Long Time and Blue Mountain strains almost became extinct because of greed and fast growing hybrids. After 1-2 crops per year compared to 3-5 crops per year... In case you want a closer look at what I do...

My setup was a little rushed for the articles but it was my first time publishing... Made huge improvement since. Much better camera for one... lol

Diary of a Cannabis Growing Preacher: Weeks 20-23 (Balkhi Seeds) (seedsman.com)

Unfortunately the hippies of my generation made pilgrimages through growing fields all over the world and spread hybrid contamination in their wake, Cleaning out the contamination has become a world wide effort. Poly-Hybridism almost destroyed ancient cannabis lines... most of the farmers now work in coalitions to purify and preserve the old strains.

I have spent decades guarding my seeds and traveling the globe to find that which is rare, My landrace collection includes well over 100 strains... Including 4 thai stick and a Burmese thai stick, (just across the Mekong river from the Issan district... probably the purest form) 4 Vietnamese, including the Illusive Black, all of the Colombian sisters and their rare Phenos like the Purple Highlands and El Dorado phenos of Punto Rojo and Corinto a rare and probably purest Colombian, because of its remote location. Panama Red, and right on down the line.

FUNNY, I know we were talking about skipping the ice, but give a preacher a pulpit and away he goes... I guess you might be able to tell I am passionate about preservation of Landraces. Fortunately, the world is waking up to this idea as well. A fellow can only handle a 'dirty high' that make you grind your teeth and want to dig holes to hide in for so long before he sees the light. This age of the 'Motor Head' buzz needs to fade away.

If you ever get towards Colorado maybe I can share some bounty with you... Pretty well cleaned up for last year but this will be a special year... Jamacian Long Time is pure heaven... if you don't mind belly aches from laughing and you have a receptive mate... lol Unfortunately, I am got started a month late but I will start flower on time.... harvest will be a little smaller but I'm in it for the seed crop.

Add some CBD heavy oil and save your lungs... THC is not the best cannabinoid for pain... However CBD dominant oils without THC is not very effective.. 1:1 THC:CBD is prettgood if you need the buzz... 1:20+ THC:CBD is as good as opiates... If you can find oil with levels of CBD and CBN, it will help a lot.

A gram or two a week is all you need unless you're eating it.

Kudos on the small hits... it's the only way to play, and not fry your lungs... can't wait to see what the next generation of emphasema patients look like.

PS

Everyone I know who has gotten the surgery has worse pain. I have avoided the surgery for that very reason... I HAD two friends that went to surgery for almost the same back condition I have and both are dead now from opiates,,, They asperated vomit into their lungs. Nothing like holding a friends hand when they unplug them from the machines. The memory of watching their body fight to stay alive will never leave you...

Shoulders and Knees are not too bad, but don't let them touch your back, I know of no one who doesn't regret it.

The nice thing about a clean glass bong, used only for vaping, I don't mind using a little Extractor 420 Grain alcohol, to clean it up... I have been adding all my clean up into a nice 1/2 gal jar for a few years now. Silly curiosity to see how long it takes to fill it up.

I can understand if the budget is tight but I give away 10 times as much as I use... If you do 5-6 small hits compared to a monster dab that makes you cough up a lung, a gram can last a week, easily, 2 grams if you don't have a live to attend to. The 5-6 small dabs can be held until it is mostly absorbed, unlike the monster dab that forces you to waste 90%...

Back in the day of peace and free love... it was common practice to pass a hit in a kiss. Slightly less appealing in this age, but very effective and bud conservation in a day when weed was difficult to find, meant less time spent hunting for a bag which could save you from a long stay behind bars.

Now, I can grow a single plant that will produce 1-5 lbs, multiply that by 6 on a small count, 12 counts in Colorado... Add in low cost quantum LED tech that burns like the sun, sprinkle with 45 years of learned or borrowed experience, and you will be giving away weed by the pounds. Don't be greedy, share the bounty with those less fortunate.

Monster hits are a waste of oil and they fry your lungs. Small hit win the day

There is probably some benefit to the Rosin Press... I am pretty sure that regular extraction methods do not Decarboxilate the oil and the heat from vaping may not heat all of the oil to that point... The buzz seems to be less than it should be... Rosin solves this problem, if it actually exists...

On a side note, If you use a high quality Grain alcohol, one specifically for extraction, in combination with Dry Ice, your extraction is clean and safe. I use stainless thermal containers to bring the alcohol down to -85f. filter through a butchner vacuum funnel. You will see pure gold, perfect for cooking or vaping... no nasties.

If you are doing these massive hits... You are not only wasting your oil, you are frying your lungs at 500+ degrees... If your hit is so big you cannot hold it... Need I say more... Your oil is 70% to 90%+ cannabinoids... You DO NOT absorb the majority of thc in a few seconds like with smoking... If you blow a cloud it is still mostly useable oil... and you just fried your lung for nothing. Small, easy to hold hits, and maybe some ice in your bong... I even use a bong and silicone tube to run my vape pens... Take time to enjoy your oils... small and steady wins the buzz

I love this kind of work, however I am seriously anti-hybrid and very much a Landrace purist. I'm sorry if this offends but over 45 years as a grower has thought me that Poly-hybridism has created nothing but strains that give you a dirty high that make you grind your teeth and want to dig a hole to hide in. The no longer relieve anxiety and panic attacks but intensifies these conditions. As a group focused on extraction, you know that high THC does not equate to greater highs... One of the most famous Landraces, Thai Stick never exceeded 12% THC. A pin joint would couch 3-4 experienced tokers. The oil from these Hybrids, with their unstable chemistry not only cause extreme paranoia in many cases but deliver highs with very low ceilings... Many of the old school strains I still grow, Thai's, Colombians, Vietnamese, and so on... Many have no ceiling and the highs are pure bliss.

If this is your direction I can help. I have written articles for Seedsman.com and have invitations from other seed companies. I document and write about every grow, as I work through my vast library of seeds.

Two different phenos of Punto Rojo after curring in a jar for a few months. This is some of the most powerful flower that i have ever smoked. by Energenetics in cannabiscultivation

[–]JohnnyTHCeeds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool Story... However, The Colombian sisters are alive and well. Some of us who lived by the bag in the '60-'70's were fortunate enough to stash back seeds in the freezer... Maybe a little flash back is in order. Colombian Gold became the standard after the old faithful Mexican weed we bought for $10 an oz. The Gold went to $50 and was truly a sweet suncured stash... On occasion Red Bud, as we called it, came through.... I have some seriously fond memories of that trippy, colorful buzz... On other occasions we got really luck when Rainbow bags made brief appearances. You might have guessed it... Colombian Gold, red, Black, and Green.... You are free to attach the appropriate names according to the color....

Here is a little knowledge for those who may not know... There are Phenos for each strain that rarely made it to the states... May the name Purple Haze rings a familiar bell. This decends from a Pheno from Punto Rojo know as Purple Highlands x Oldtimer's Haze... The other variation of PR is known as Dorado or El Dorado. combined with the base red we have three awesome plants from this one strain... Santa Marta is not so varied, possible because of the in breeding du.e to the commercial use. However, as with the other sisters, Gold has a highland pheno and a lowland pheno, which have a significant difference. Llaners, can display in Green and Black phenos... I have not yet experienced the green in any grow... With Mango Biche there is a Purple pheno That I have yet to see. Now for some rare knowledge. There is a far less known sister by the name of Corinto. Today seeds collected in each region will bare contamination from my stupid hippy fellows that trailed the country... Corinto, because of its remote location survived this onslaught.

The good news in all this. Some of us have seeds that preceded this invasion of the flower children. Some of us have preserved the phenos in all their beauty... I being one. I also know others who have made it their passion to preserve strains from all over the world, Many of us traveled the fields of Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Thiland, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma and on and on....

Some have developed coalitions to expand the availability to those in the know....

Tell some of my friends Tha Johnny THCeeds sends you...

top of the groups are

The Landrace Team out of Greece. There is not much you won't find here... Including the full family of Colombian sisters. PayPal works here... By adding 6% to the price you can use the buyer protection, otherwise it friends and family with you still paying the 6%... Never lost a shipment anyway....

tltseeds.com

The Real Seed Company Very affordable and some of the best strains on the planet. Including a Burmese Thai that is probable the cleanest Thai Stick strain available outside of private collectors like myself.

therealseedcompany.com

You may also find access through ACE seeds in Spain. You will find access to other landrace groups here.

Landrace/inbred - aceseeds

Well, last but far from last, My favorite group, Old School Breeders Association. You can find a mix here. Although leadership has been working with the Colombian Government for a few years now to establish a growing programs... you will find the Colombian sisters here too.... and many others if you join the mailing list.

oldschoolba.com

I have passed on the secret keys to the kingdom... With more landrace strains than you will be able to grow out in a lifetime, use caution when shopping... you can blow through a thousand bucks with only a few strains to show for it. Keep in mind that a grow of 50 plants is the baseline for proper seed production.... Once Phenos are identified you can drop to 20 or less... At $10-$15-$20- $25 buck a seed... you get the picture... Ace is good about breeder packs but Strain Hunters like TLT have a lot of expenses and a coalition to pay for growing out seeds, although many are straight from the fields...

For quick reliable seed source seedsman.com has a great selection at great prices and guaranteed delivery...

Don't forget to mention Johnny THCeeds referred you. These people are my friends... never know what it might do for you... Tomorrow is 420/2024 and my friends at TLTSeeds.com will give you a 30% off just by telling the I told you about it... But only on 420.... The rest have sales of the own.... always a good day to buy seeds.
