My favorite strain that I’ve grown is Columbian Gold.
I did it several years running, but am doing others this time.
I need more CG seeds!

They remind me of the trees from Lord of the Rings. They make me all googly eyed like a school girl.

Mike I hope you were on the east coast then. I flew to Jamaica from Seattle once and the 3 time zones killed me. My week was up before the jet lag settled. I never crossed paths with the right person. All I found was tourist cruise boat swagola. No good. It also could have been my wife was with me and she hates my hobby…

Khatru, those look beautiful. I have never tried CG. I thought it might be too slow for how far north I am. How is the flower time?
It also made me think of Jim Belushi on his adventure to Columbia for the Gold and Punta Roja. Couldn’t help but chuckle out loud.

It wasn’t a true landrace, but very much like the old stuff from the ‘70’s
Took 10 weeks of indoor flowering, just a couple more than the Indicas I was doing.
You were old enough to smoke in the '70s?

I’m all out of ‘likes’ for the day, but you have beautiful plants. Do you collect the rose hips for food?
Man. All time favorite is a tough one. I’ll have to go with White Widow though. It’s a great all arounder. In small doses it has a nice mellow energetic buzz and it’s great for being social or playing music/games. Higher doses it’s still great for gaming and music but you’ll want some munchies too and maybe a buddy to talk to before you pass out. Great for pain managemnt in almost any dosage.
I’d definitely want to source two separate phenos when I grow it this time. One sativa leaning for daytime and one more indica leaning for night time. I love the slight pheno variances white widow gets. Some are more energetic and uplifting and others are more mellow and sleepy but have the same all around cerebral stimulation and pain killing abilities.

Mr. Magoo. Hands down like a punch from Mike Tyson. Would literally fall asleep with the pipe in my hands, never made it through a whole joint of it. 6-8 hours of the most sublime sleep.
After that Lemon Haze. Amazing cerebral high, lots of energy, mental clarity, creativity and no anxiety. And when cured right it can have a lemon peppery taste.

@Rye which Mr. Magoo? Was it the afgoo x emerald triangle one or the purple kush x Skywalker x blue magoo?
Two seed companies claim they bred a strain by that name both with separate lineages though.

The Skywalker×blue magoo one. I actually dream about having sleep like that again.
2 Likes
@Rye for sure man. I actually have Skywalker and Purple kush on my list at homegrown. If I can track down some blue magoo I might just breed a boutique version.
Do you remember the taste, smell, and color? That would help a lot choosing phenos.

Ok so this will sound weird, it tasted like blue pepper…smell was just a hint of acidity but HEAVY…color was light green/purple and frosty.

@Rye yeah that makes sense. DJ Short loved those spicy and berry notes and often mixed them together. Like a Blueberry pepper plant with a hint of vinegar. That MLB/Williams Wonder F2 he used in the breeding of blue magoo had an almost cat piss smell so I’m not surprised some of the ammonia/vinegar smell came with it.

Do you know of a good source for Dr. Grinspoon seeds?
Since Homegrown doesn’t have them I feel it’s not bad karma to say. I got mine from attitude seeds. They are by Barney’s Farm. I am a fan of Barney’s farm. Good stuff.
My wife got angry I was participating in a forming and not just reading. She asked me to stop posting. I still have to live w her. Anyway, it’s been fun meeting other growers. Happy growing to all.
