I think of schwag as the compressed, brick weed that usually comes from mexico...very cheap and a real pain in the ass to smoke.. the seeds usually get crushed in the compaction process and the 'milk' from them goes rancid and makes the weed smell like ammonia...mmmmmm yummy..

I was thinking that this discussion belongs in our [MEGA] strain discussion thread..

Don't get me wrong, I LOVES me some dank but, what the Hell has happened to the economy buds? It's nice sometimes to blaze up a half zip for the same price (or less) as a single of dank but, it seems to be almost non existant Here in the good ol 801 these days. I don't know maybe its just me or my area but anyone else feel the same way as I do?

Mexi brick is everywhere, I usually have to drive to the outskirts of the city, or into the "hood" to get this stuff though. The Suburbs and cities seem to always have "the best shit ever, ever. For reals". I only buy the bricked up cat-nip looking shit for cooking, though.

If you mean KB (mid-range, usually not super-bricked up but compressed, red, dense, very distinct smell) that shit seems WAY harder to find for me, at least during the winter seasons.
 
^ I was always under the impression you must grow all your own shit. You must spend a fortune on all the weed I've seen in your pics (or be a dealer but I doubt that). .

Most all of the oily smashed seeded trash compactor weed is grown in South-mid-East...
 
I have some very fond memories of golden brickweed from back in 2005. I assume it must've been some sativa-type landrace from Africa. I'd love to be able to grow whatever that strain was.

It's amazing how much the quality can differ...A buddy got ahold of a 10 lb. bale a couple years back that was a pretty amazing Sativa strain.

I got some lemon haze hash the other day. Stuff is crazy good. Few hits and I'm already baked. I hope they dont run out.
 
Soooooo much amnesia in ireland at the moment and im bored of my tits with it ... Stuff gets you completely incapacitated to the point where it just start getting on my nerves ... Blueberry haze and lemon haze seem to be on the rise tho .. not much better but a change is nice for once !!
 
Well real Chocolate thai, golden thai, and juicy fruit were good back in the day. These were what you smoked if you were from this states better half (Northern California) and didn't have access to kind CA Green. Actually a Bay Area version of swag. The best CA buds going around in the 80s were big bud, "christmas tree bud." Purple bud- this was good purple bud, I know that some has mixed rep good puple buds and green buds with purple hairs. NL, skunk #1, ect...were probably out there but known as such. Kind, KGB, skunK, indica, indo, ect terms for good bud. There were some down right psychedelic strains. But of the best that were more exotic:

1.) Puna Buds

2.) Big Island (non-differentiated)

3.) Maui Bud

4.) Matanuska Valley Thunderfuck (AK)

5.) Michoacan Black

6.) Bali Bud (like a super golden thai)

7.) Some good tropical bud from Saint Martin and St Thomas USVI.

8.) Good Morracan from Amsterdam hash but redish Kashmiri best hash ever.

would have loved to try Santa Marta Gold (the bud actually looked golden- have a llink to a pix in my terroir and canabis thread) and Panama Red grown on the Pearl Islands Panama and on the Chiva-Chiva trail in the former United States Panama Canal Zone (still only place under US flag to have had their pot laws rescinded and legalized). Nepalese Hash is still high on the list.

I've had good bubble hash and that was a piney treat. Trainwreak was good too, but alot of the magic, the finese is still missing from the taste and high.

edit: almost forgot "Krypie" Kryptonite- lemon- limey goodness from Southern Florida

I just bought some Indian Haze seeds (bet nobody here has ever tried that). I also got some GHS Super Lemon Haze, LA confidential, Pineapple Chunk and Critical Mass 33 seeds (big producer so could be useful for tree grows). I can't wait to try the Super Lemon Haze and Indian Haze in particular. The Indian Haze is one of those strains that is amazing but that most people have never really heard of. I bet if more people had tried it it would fly off the shelf, but I benefit since the seeds are so cheap and available as regs because of it. It's a Kerala x Original Haze cross so should be interesting. They say it's a 10 weeker so I assume I can expect it to finish in 11 weeks or so (maybe some 10 weeks phenos if I'm lucky).

I also can't wait to get some of Thai landrace strains. I swear this growing lark is more addictive than smoking cannabis itself!

Quite correct indeed...80% of the Cali' bud that made it to S.W. Michigan (in the 80's) was from N.L. & Skunk # 1
seeds/clones . The Panama Red you refer to was extremley extraordinarily delicious !!

One of the fun(est) & most rewarding hobbies ever !
 
NYC Diesel - two phenos?

I've run into a conundrum from the production of SOMA's NYCD strain; 3 out of 4 plants ended up with a really heavy diesel taste, but still good quality. The other girl had that magical grapefruit taste and medical effects that turned me on this strain, so I'm keeping a cutting from her in my repertoire. Has anyone else run into these two phenos? I thought the strain was stable, but I guess not. Now I have to keep the pheno I like alive as a clone, as I don't have faith in the seeds anymore - seems like a crapshoot. I'd like to see it turn hermi to get some seeds, but I don't want to experiment as it's the only cut of this magic plant I have.

Has anyone else noticed this with the NYCD strain? If so, do you prefer the classical "diesel" taste or the really yummy grapefruit pheno? The effects are the same as far as medical usage, but I really enjoy the taste of the latter out of the vaporizer; it's very unique. It's a great compliment to the SensiStar that I've also found great for medical usage. I love Kush and purple strains too, but they are definitely night-time smokes and don't really help with my pain problems as much as sativa-dominant strains like Sensi, NYCD, White Widow, or Durban. Or maybe they do, but I can't stay awake long enough to tell :)

Peace,

I've not grown out that strain but I have heard of the diesel taste as you put it is present in some phenotypes. For most it is sought after, but have you tried giving it a long cure yet? More often than not the curing process will turn a not so nice flavour into really nice tasting bud.

A bit about the hermie seed idea:
NSFW:
I wouldn't use seeds from a hermie plant since most of the offspring will usually turn out to be hermaphrodite themselves. A good way to get all females is to get a load of different phenotypes and change the photoperiod on a daily basis - 12 hours one day, 8 the next, 16 the next and so on. Take the best plant that doesn't through out nanas/balls/male-flowers and spray it with colloidal silver (made with 9V battery) or giberellic acid. Once male flowers then start to show, harvest the pollen and pollenate a different strain. Pollenating another female of the same strain will give you females that are akin to f2s i.e. very variable and all over the place. Ideally the female pollenated by the female pollen should also be hermie resistant from stress testing.


Anyway, if you like kush and purple strains there are two I would recommend. Firstly, strawberry cough and secondly sour kush, sour diesel. However you say you don't like the diesel taste so maybe not the sour diesel!
 
Yeah, it's not that I DON'T like the diesel taste, it's just that I grew up with ECSD here in the Southeast US. Then, when I moved to California, the influx of the US east coast strains made their way out west in a big way, so it seemed to be more of the same. I always take care to cure to perfection, I'm just bored with the diesel / gas taste. When I moved back home, I brought three west-coast cuttings - OG Kush (Tahoe cut), Trainwreck (Arcata cut), and Salmon Creek Big Bud to diversify, and potentially cross and experiment with. With the NYCD, the one plant turned out to taste so much like what I had in Amsterdam, I had to keep the odd one out. It's sickeningly sweet!

You're right about the Strawberry Cough - it's in my top 10 for sure. At the cup last year, the Bleu Cheese won me over...trying to get a hold of that one for sure. The original UK Cheese is a damn fine smoke too; flavor for days. When I get more material to play with I'll try the lighting technique to see if I can get something close to an F2; I want to experiment but not fuck up my stock because it's a ten-year obsession with getting the strains I love that no one around here has. Even losing one strain out of seven would be like losing a member of the family!
 
^Sorry, no ID questions (I know the guidelines said "no ID threads", my fault, sorry). What name you choose to give it doesn't make any difference to how good the weed is, though, so don't worry about it.
