I could understand the thai/columbian expressing itself if the afghanica is heirloom, assuming all 3 of the composite are of heritage. If not the vigour might be modern more developed thai/columbian leaving less of an afghan shadow. They state the Pakistani and Columbian are '78, leaves one to speculate the lemon thai could be the familiar Dutch Flowers. The Pakistani might find a closer cola relative than an Afghanica which may be the case if nothing squat is occurring. Whether its Riot, Cali Connection or DNA among the modern breeders, they all refer to their affies having Afghanistan origin. The historical lack of distinction between either cultivar from the Hindu Kush region has always been a bummer and point of confusion for too many farmers.

I would like a pack too..
Met someone at their booth at the 2014 LA cup and talked with him for a while and he gifted me some loose seeds that I just put in a plastic pre roll tube. Anyways long story short about but 8 out 20 were females and out of those we still have 2 that we have moms of because they are pure fire. Don't know what they are because I was so ripped when he gave them to me, but for some reason thought it was something with grapefruit and sour kush in it. We have the #8 and the #10 but the genetics is a mystery. Gonna bring a sample to the cup to show them tomorrow maybe they will know what it is.

Any ready to chop or dry budshots? Any final weights? Quality? I have a pack of black lime reserve and I'm trying to figure out if she has a spot in the garden this year....
I got a pack of the Black Lime and Long Valley Royal Kush for a Christmas gift.
Got them into wet paper towels on Jan 18 had tails and into soil on the 20th by the 23rd all were up and smiling at me.
First pic is on Feb 4 The Black Lime are the top two rows, LV Royal Kush bottom 2 rows.
Second pic is from Feb 12
I am surprised how strong the smell is on them for only being 3+ weeks old.
Stay safe

Haha... funny I should roll a j of my Black Lime and then fall into this thread!
Having seen your gardens on here, I say yes.
I bought their Black Lime and 2 boxes of LA Affie from the last year... the 78 Affie was a total bomb in terms of germination, but the one lonely female I ended up with was nice, but finished mid-October and was way Sativa dominant in structure which is not how they sold the line at all. I can say as a result of the low germ rates, though, that I know for a fact they are solid on their promise as written in the packets that come with the seeds. If you have legitimate germination problems, they won't hassle you and do their best to make the situation right.
The Black Limes however... I got a perfect 10/10 on germs... however, due to unforeseen circumstances I was only left with 2 females by the time it came down to plant time... garden space was limited and because both phenos were identical I only planted one. She went in late... started from seed at the beginning of June and only into a 45 gallon pot she still formed a very nice dense bush that yielded a respectable 1.25# that I cropped all in the first week of October.
The growth and leaf pattern was very Chem dominant, but the nug structure is unique in way that I can only explain as different... I kept it all for headstash and only big leafed and bucked it down into jars and have been trimming it up as I go when I want to smoke some. I can see how it could be a hassle after a while... the nug is solid and dense, but at the same time leafy. That's just a side note though... the smell, smoke and taste is sublime. It's definitely a bit indica dominant in nature, but the buzz can be very cerebral and I've found no real ceiling yet.
The smell out of this pheno can best be described as... "underarm of sun-drenched hippie after fresh squeezed key-lime juice has been applied to activate pheromonal urges of sandalwood, bergamot and patchouli..."
At least that's how I'd write it up for these guys if they wanted another nonsensical and rhetorical whimsy applied to one of their strain descriptions... That's just a jab at them, but you get the point... it REALLY does have some heavy lime terpenoid action going on with some realy earthiness.
I took cuts and was really bummed to have them all root, but only get lost when I had a basement flood over the winter.
I did just pick up a box of their Royal Kush and am looking to grab some In the Pines as well but Grass was out... I figure there should be plenty of Black Lime cuts floating around soon enough and with probably better results than mine, so no need for me to re-try, but I sure wish I was running her because I was going to let her come and play with the big girls this year. Oh, well.
Bo thanks for the intel...... too bad you had some tuff luck.
Hatch.... I am going to top em in a day or two and veg until I am able able to get some decent cuts off them, should be able to sex most by then.... flip em for 8-9 weeks and see what shakes out. May be save a male or two if I find anything super interesting.
Only time will tell if anything is worthy of an outdoor spot this year.
Stay tuned...lol
