One of the first strains I had a lot of success with was Hashplant. It came from Mendocino, Booneville area, and was similar to Sensi's but no idea where it really came from. It was crossed with the local strains, everything that goes through there is, so there were some nice purple phenos. It hooked me into hashish and Hindu Kush types.
I've realized I've got several different Hashplants in the ground and it would be nice to have a single thread to compare them as they grow this summer.
If you're running a Hashplant of whatever type feel free to post pictures or talk or whatever. Hashplants count as either Indica strains, wide leaf varieties from Central Asia, used for traditional hashish making. Or plants from other parts of the world with a tradition of hashish production. Nepal, Lebanon, Morocco, Turkey, Pakistan, India, Iran, California, or wherever.
I don't expect these all to be landraces or pure strains. Many of mine are hybrids. But most of them have the wide leafed Afghan look with a couple exceptions.
Here's an exception. Real Seed Company's Sinai.
They're much less vigorous then the modern strains side by side. Thin sativa leaves. One is quite a bit bigger then the others. Don't use much water or nutrients.
Right next to them is another plant that looks similar but is more vigorous. Bet you'll never guess what it is.
Original Afghani #1 from Seedsman seeds. You wouldn't guess what it is because the description describes something else. To quote the website description:
Genetics: Afghani No. 1
Variety: Pure Indica
Type: Pure-bred, true-breeding
Harvest Date: Mid-Late September
Flowering Period: 6-7 Weeks
No. of Seeds Per Packet: 10
Characteristics: Dense buds and copious resin.
Nothing Indica about that plant or her sisters. It irritates me when a breeder advertises an old strain, says it's something special, then sends you something completely different. When I grew Sensi's Hashplant same thing. Vigorous plant but not an Indica Hashplant. What's going on? I have a couple theories I'll talk about later.
One more picture for today. This is a strain from Mendocino, Grape Ape x Bubblegum. The plant I photographed is grown by a friend, posted with his permission.
That's about as Indica as they come, some good breeders in Mendocino. I'm sure the Bubblegum is not the original Indiana Bubblegum. It's either been hybridized with Mendo strains or is a Mendo strain that smells like bubblegum. It's been around for many years.
The width of those leaves and color approaches Hindu Death Cabbage. I can guarantee the plant will end up colorful purple in the end.
