Info on The Real Seed Company?

Yeah the Lao Sa is looking a bit tired after nearly 7 months. I kind of feel the way this plant looks after this last rainy season, it was really uncomfortable and we were all getting poisoned from an unusually high level of pesticides in the air. Its always the worst part of rainy season, not only bacteria and sickness but you always get sick when they start spraying the rice paddies around here. probably taken 20 years off of my life, I have cancer as most everyone around here does. I don't recommend moving here at all.

Yesterday I snipped off a few lower branches that still had a little bit material on it that may end up being smokable. They've been cleaned up with hydrogen peroxide and a nice bath and hung up to dry now. I have not yet smoked any Lao Sa, so I am probably over anxious to try it, I know you guys are probably saying, "Yuck! And you'll vinter's lung off of it! Stop!" We'll, see I think there may be a joint or two on there.

Awesome! thanks for the pics and updates @Herbert Chickybaby

My Lao Highland #4 about 2 months in.

My pleasure, Professor Hedges! Hopefully the new run will have many more plants and in much better shape. I have 1 Lao Gold, 1 Bokeo, 2 Lao Sas, 1 Highland #4, 1 Khalifa Genetics Muang Singh and an Ace Zenith (Panama x Zamaldelica x Malawi x Ace's Thai) in the pipeline.

We have similar issues lol right now the durban x skunk , highland lao #5 and the Iranian #2 something alluring about strains that not many have grown. Never know when your going to find a special strain with a magical high. Right now im finishing up a Johaar, Colombia 90-colombian gold-michoacan mix, and Jamaican Blue Mountain x Jamaican Lambsbread F4. When those finish im going to start the Basqueberry, 1990 Skunk Special x Skunk No. 1 (2009), Amnesia 1998 hy-pro. Thinking about growing the Kathmandu in the back yard and let it get huge. lol

How did all those turn out? I’m looking to buy seeds from kwik. Do you have a smoke report?

I have smoked several Nanda Devi plants and it is a nice high. Nepal feeling like the rest from there. Last time out with it was a bit intense for a few minutes, settled out to a pretty chill high. I took these plants down at 56 days, so that would make it a bit jumpy too.

The Jumla was a bit more enjoyable and the Rasoli would be tops I think. I would like to get at the Dolpa, Mountain ganja, Nepalese and Pavarti but some Africans showed up.

Photos all from my one 11 week old Lao Gold taking over the garden limelight for the moment. Good solid quite fast bud development this week, she's about a bit over 6 foot. That sounds short for an SE Asian sativa, but that is normal height for this strain. The garden where it's being grown is in a similar climate and habitat to the hometown of this lineage according to the RSC website, lowland Laotian plain, though we are across the river and into Thailand about two hours by car from Savankhet area of Laos.

As promised, photographic evidence of the spontaneous Lao Sa self-germination in the adjacent pot.

The RSC Lao Highlands #4 a plant Angus says is from a lineage in the province of Bolikhamsai, Laos, which is further south towards Vientiane, the capital town of the People's Republic of Laos. This is week 6 I believe and about 3 foot. This one has a lot of charisma in person, maybe the most among my younger plants.

This is their afghan mix with typical indoor led and lst. Must be about week 4 or 5 and I am hoping to not grow too many leaves lol.

Faster growing than their DC repro at least in veg.

Can't believe I overlooked the self germinated seedling in the lower left of this picture, its even in the photo and I still didn't see it. I just finally saw it there today when I was watering and feeding them, very hard to miss now as it's almost twice as big as it is in this photo. Maybe this is commonplace, that seeds dropping from a plant will germinate, so forgive me my newbness guys, for being so excited about that.

I may have five or ten pop up next season from my shaky hands not letting me grab a hold of the plant, flower, seed and it falling into the soil. I empty my pots and reuse the soil each season.
Well actually I let that plant go. I want to see if it sleeps through the winter and revegs\grows next season so they may just come up like yours.

Beautiful plants. More leaves = more bud. Don't buy into the forum hype, do not defoliate! Buds will produce well hidden deep in the canopy.

I got 5 Afghani mix freebies. Think I have 2 growing in germ pots now. How were your germ rates?

 

[Gunter]

@Old Uncle Ben, they may need more babying than your average seed.

I think that's the only one that made it out of 5 or so. The seedling smelled like hash so I had to grow it out and see the flower.

I defoliated the bottom of the plant, it had topping and lst so that the freak chunks could catch up (they didn't).

Eager to see the final results !
would say it lacks of resin , but apparence don't reveal the truth ( especially about me , lol ) ....

Lao 4 seemed very sturdy and not worthy of support yet, but we had a thunderstorm come through and it's main stalk had split in 3 and was laying flat on the ground. Luckily I caged it up and not a branch withered. Still showing no signs of sex! I swear I found a pistil on it a couple months ago though, with the backup confirmation from a couple friends. Clean citrus smell on the stem, maybe lemon? With a menthol hint. I suck at naming smells.

I've had stalks split a couple times as weel. It didn't seem to hurt the plant, infact it may have increased the number of buds, and it kept a lower profile. I might deliberately do it in the future.

Well, what a wonderful thread you have going here, I love it. I've grown RSA seeds for a while and my greatest success story was with their Sinai. That was a few years ago but it was a male and I've used it's pollen to breed what I call United Nations. Sinai flowers early, infact it started flowering in early July and was finished by end of September. I live at 50 Degrees north in British Columbia. The cross was (Sinai x Golden Tiger ) X (Zamadelica x Purple Satellite). I planted a couple of these seeds last April and it developed into two distinct phenos. One that was quite bushy and early flowering, that to my great embarassment I accidently killed with too many nutrients UGH!. The other much later flowering (late August) not as bushy but good enough, that turned into a nice plant. It has a warm, blissful, slightly dreamy, but clear at the same time high, and so potent. I may continue to grow this cross as it has the potential to be a pure early Sativa that can be grown far north and for a Canadian grower that likes Sativas it may be my Holy Grail, which was my goal.

I have great respect for Angus at RSC, I use them or ACE almost exclusively for my genetics.
