Indica in mexibrick seeds, Why?

This past year my friend and I met this family who runs a weed business and gets everything imported from Mexico. With their ridiculously low prices, we would be going up every few days and getting QPs and turning it into amazing hash and oil, and being able to smoke all day long everyday.
One thing to note, is the weed does not come in bricks. It is somewhat compressed, from the large quantities being shoved in bags, but none of the seeds are ever cracked, so that's a benefit. One time, I was at their house when they got back from picking up 10 pounds. There were 10 large zip-lock bags, each a pound, in a large trash bag. So like I said, this year, it hasn't been bricked.
I've noticed many different strains. Only one time, out of the many times I've been a customer, was I disappointed, because it was way too seedy.
Anyway, at first, the stuff we were getting were these huge sativa buds. The seeds were very large and light brown, yet fully mature. Don't worry, I saved them. They had that traditional, classic, sweet, old school, marijuana smell, and taste when burned. Herbally, and like kitchen spices, etc... It convinced me to not waste my money on the standard dutch strains that were $50 an 8th, with a boring high, and usually not cured all the way.
Anyway, the next stuff we were getting was really amazing. It was definitely some sort of haze. The leaves where so skinny, and the buds were so sativa looking. The few seeds that I got, where small, very dark with even darker "speckels." What was really amazing about this strain, was the high and taste. My family lives in New Jersey and whenever I visit, the weed we get is from Washington Heights. It had that same taste and high. I've never been to a Catholic Church, so I don't know if that's what it tasted like, but it was that perfumey, incencey, amazingness that I've only experienced when I go to New Jersey and get those 20 bags that only weigh .9, lol. Same high as well. So that leads me to believe that the mysterious "Piff" is really just a haze of some sort, because I'm sure this was the very same strain, or very closely related.
Anyway, after that, I was kind of pissed, because all of a sudden it went from those great Sativas, to very skunky hybrid buds. Don't get me wrong, they were still great, but it was obvious that it wasn't any nice Sativa. I saved all the seeds, because like I said, it was extremely skunky, and from what I've read, people can't find buds that actually smell like a skunk anymore.
The most recent stuff, really pissed me off, so I made the majority of it into oil. The buds were nice and all, and it got you high, but it was obvious what strain it was. Skunk #1. I've smoked tons of Skunk #1 grown professionally in my life, as well as grown it myself, so I can tell if it's Skunk #1. It was unmistakable, the taste, high, and smell, as well as the appearance. So, this leads me to believe that the Mexicans definitely are growing dutch strains now.
Like I said, I was getting the nice sativas in late spring, early summer, and then all of a sudden it changed to hybrids, and then a dutch strain. Oh, I forgot to mention, one of the strains was an obvious dutch strain, evident by the bud structure, and rotten fruit, pungent smell. But it made a shit load of kief, so I wasn't complaining.
Anyway, hope my information helped...

Too bad the Mexicans don't make hash out of their fine sativas... or even some of their indicas.

i think it was raco who said ´´ the hybridization of ecuatorial sativas´´ ..

Yea i noticed that more mexi brick im getting is more indica, a commerical skunk, looks decent, smells decent, nice potency but a typical indica couchlock which can get boring, i was getting shwaggy bright green sativa bricks about 60 dollars an ounce and this stuff was seeded but it was a really good buzz
Raco said:What I said is "tropicalization of the afghan indicas"
It's no good either way. Hybridizing is good, except we don't want all bud to become the same thing. Legalization I think will help tremendously in this, but it seems like it's harder and harder to find pure landraces without outside influence. It seems like there's quite a lot to lose, and I hope I can smoke all the strains from way back when before they're gone.

But you also have to think of whats ahead. We might be hybridizing and turning MJ genes into one big melting pot but mother nature will do what she has always done. There are still millions of gems in the wild waiting to be discovered.

We will definatley have a hard time finding todays heirlooms. But you never know, there are people with a vested interest in keeping heirlooms safe. In 10 or 20 years we will probably have people killing to find a breeders pack of todays popular strains. Plus the internet is going to help preserve in the future what we could not 20 years ago. But all this is coming from someone who has never has the opprotunity to smoke a real heirloom, hence I don't know what I'm missing and have never lost something that coveted.

I once asked a similar question to a person many here consider to be a knowledgable person... & some even a friend!
.... here's what he answered .. I hope these helps ...
INDICA in mexi brick .. why??
it's because in many comercial cultivating countrys like mexico/colombia , the HUGE commercial farmers have taken over the lands and they grow the dutch purchased femmed crap to simply make more money ....
but everyonce in a while they collect some bud from the old grower who still grows what he used to grow '' in the old days'' ... and that's what we are looking for ....
... lol ..
we have a hard time finding today's heirlooms... ....today!
u said it !!!!
and it's thx to those really amazing persons that invest time & effort on the MJ plant , that they give the chance for future generaitons to develope the same interest and experience the classics....
thx for correction! jajajjajajajajajajaj , classic pothead mistake , jajajajaja

Most mexican was hybridized with Skunk or Afghani about 20 years ago..There is very little that is true sativa and not hybridized at some point with an indica variety.
I grow out a lot of these seeds and still have stock of pure sativa mexican..
It's just a product of greedy people looking for higher yeilds...................CC

What dose she smoke like? Does it have an indica type of buzz?
If the Mexican farmers are mixing in some indica, the plants will have to adapt(change) over time for the enviroment. High heat and humidity are not the friends of fat leafed and tight buds. Fat leaves are helpfull in trapping morning moisture.
Raco had a nice term for it

In my opinion they do not smoke like a pure indica. You definitly know theres a lot of indica in it but it won't "end your day". The flavors have never been the same on any of them, to much variance. These are not the sativas that start out looking like an indica either, they finish the same way they start.
