[MEGA] Strain Discussion- 3rd Backcross *ALL STRAIN TALK IN HERE*

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have recently been collecting various strains and putting them all in a separate bag. I have a little over a dub by now this bag consists of Master kush, Super silver haze, Super lemon haze, Mango kush, OG kush and one unknown strain

What type of effects do you see these strains having a strong indica? sativa?

What have been your experiences mixing different strains.

Does anyone else tend to do this?

mixing strains is the best. you get multiple effects compared to smoking just one strain alone.
 
If you plan on smoking the entire thing you should wrap one blunt or two joints. Go with the joints.

I did something very similar. I collected different strains until my Bday in march. Up until then I had OG kush, master kush, og/master cross, banana kush, south african sativa, green crack, ice, chem dawg, sour daddy, AK, blue dream and 5 other unknowns. All of the kushs were heavy indicas, the south african sativa, green crack, chem dawg, and ice were more sativa. The others were more a mix.
 
I honestly don't see the point of it. Why go to all the effort of selectively breeding plants to exhibit certain characteristics if you just want to mix them all back together? You don't mix a little bit of every kind of booze together to make an extra-delicious drink.

It's breeding. Genetics, traits, characteristics. When you back cross your looking to get more of the traits from the original parent your backcrossing with. Who knows though, maybe us humans might ruin the cannabis gene pool.

Today I'm driving over 100 miles to pick up some bud that's suppose to be amazing. He might be one of the oldest growers in Rhode Island but he works hard at his craft and he's been working for nearly 10 years to finalize this strain, just finished curing 2 days ago. :D
 
i schmoke that schwagga you fucking feel me?!?!? lol i only used to smoke that good shit nothing less than high quality, but nowadays ive been smoking strictly ari. i have a dealer that sells nickbags that weightwise are about the same as a dime of good shit, which makes it really worth it and a good buy. im all about quanity over quality. fuck good shit, if i can get just as much weed at a lesser price then ill take it. give me 2 nicks of shitty weed and it comes out to like twice the size of a dime of sour/piff, and best believe theres more total active thc and i get way higher. yaaadigggggggggg.

That's your thing but that's false

I understand what a backcross is and its value. I don't understand mixing a myriad of different strains together to produce a totally average blend, as should be obvious from the context.

zync, this isn't the lounge, there are standards here and certain things you can't post.

Really? Got a source for that claim? Lower quality weed will generally get you more THC for your money (look up "diminishing returns"), which is why we recommend people use it for baking (and why it's popular in the first place.

I can't speak for the prices your getting but there's a lot of strains known for THC levels and cannabinoid ratios that far exceed the anything degraded bricked Mexican schwag will get you. There's many strains these days that are known for THC levels of over 20%, some recently been topping 28%
 
^I've been over this before, those numbers are ludicrous, there is no way that 28% of the mass of any cannabis plant is THC. As before, I'm guessing you don't have a source? In any case, I'm not talking about THC concentration, but absolute THC per arbitrary currency unit. You can't honestly tell me that you think people are better off making cannabutter with the highest-grade bud?

Originally I wasn't referring to making cannabutter and I've only made that once so I can't really comment on that. However THC %'s are measured by gas chromatography, I'm not gonna provide a source because it is used regularly in various studies, in fact with the growth of the medical marijuana industry quality testing is becoming an industry that actually generates revenue off testing for THC and other cannabinoid percentages.

This is standard, a common misconception underlying these debates is that the percentage is based off the overall weight of the sample but that's wrong, the percentage is based off the weight of the oils involved in the sample.
 
^Right, in that case, as I've said before, it's a silly measure, as it doesn't take into account the abundance of oil. If sample A has 10 units of oil that is 20% THC, and sample B has 20 units of oil that is 10% THC, then they are both equipotent, but by this measure sample A is twice as good.

Anyway, interesting as this is (really, I find it very interesting), it isn't strain discussion.
 
10% THC can still be dank, or at least some really good mids but I agree with what your saying, makes sense.

Anybody ever had an old school strains?
 
Yeah, Northern Lights and Skunk #1 are both pretty old-school, but how old school are we talking? I've smoked imported weed from Thailand/Africa/Jamaica that is presumably from landrace strains. Anyone who has smoked imported bud has smoked an old-school strain (well, not imported from Canada or Holland, you get what I mean).
 
The legendary ones old school ones, from the 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s,

Panama Red
Acapulco Gold
Alaskan/Matanuska Thunderfuck
Colombian Gold
Durban Poison
Vietnamese Black
Black Magic African
Asian Fantasy
Lambsbread
1987 'Roadkill' Skunk #1
Northern Lights
Chocolate Thai
Any Thai
Maui Wowie
 
^Well, squidhead is an old-schooler, and there are lots of others on here, who have smoked those strains. It's hard to compare them to modern sensi though, because they're seedy brickweed. I've smoked DP, and nameless other Jamaican/African/Thai weed. Tend not to be my favourites tbh, very energetic, sativa feel to them. I like the taste of African weed, it has a pepperiness to it, Thai weed tastes like chocolate which sounds nice but actually isn't great (although I don't like chocolate that much...).
