Sagarmatha 60/40

[captain.koons]

what is this exactly?

I hear about it a lot but I don't know what exactly this strain refers to?

Was it actually called 60/40 or does it refer to another strain?

 

[dan_kass]

indica/sativa or sativa/indica ratio

 

[captain.koons]

thanks for the reply I've asked dutchgrown about this and it's a 60/40 indica/sativa and I'd like to find out what strain this is exactly.

It's been used in a bunch of breeding and has been referred to as Sag's 60/40.

I've heard from some that this is Yumbolt.

Anyone?

 

[SourDeezy]

It came from a "mix pack" from what I understand.

 

[captain.koons]

oh I was hoping this was available in seed form

 

[SourDeezy]

OGer99 from dutchgrown has it in it.

Hey man - all of SAGs strains are indeed available as seeds . . .

60/40 refers to which was the plant leans . . . Indica or Sativa, as it is not an actual measure of the amount of indica or sativa . . .

I was told by a breeder that they use this to refer to indica/sativa hybrids that show traits that either predominantly indica, or predominantly sativa . . . .

So 60/40 indica might be a plant that's genetically more indica but has more of a sativa look and shows more sativa growing traits.

Anyways, Yumbolt is indeed a Sagamartha hybrid available in Seed Form, I just don't know if it's available at the moment.

in this case im fairly sure 60/40 is referred to a specific strain as it's been used in numerous breeding projects.

I read that Sag's 60/40 is also called Banana and smells like Bananas....
If you search IC for "banana OGerkush" I think it'll come up in a thread.

I have contacted Sagamartha Seeds with your question and will post back with the answer once I receive a reply.

Yep that's why I'm searching this strain because Sag doesn't market anything that's advertised as Banana smelling or named Banana however Yumbolt is said to have banana phenotypes.

I'm still awaiting a reply from Sagamartha Seeds, however I read a post of yours (captain.koons) from October 2009 saying it's actually just referring to Stonehedge . . . do you no longer believe that to be the case?

I see you've posted this question on a few other forums, but it looks like 60/40 doesn't really refer to a specific strain, or that if it does it's probably not called 60/40 and just be some individuals way of referring to strain or particular phenotype.

I did quite a bit of research on this and read perhaps 25 - 30 references to "60/40" but none of them specifically mention that it's a Sagamartha strain, and those that do state that it's what someone "called" 60/40 - indicating that may not have been it's given name.

Anyways, when I hear back from Sag, probably tomorrow, I'll post back with their reply.

Later.

 

[captain.koons]

I don't remember posting that but perhaps at the time I was told that Stonehenge was Sag's 60/40 I was later told it was Yumbolt and was explained to that they both are referred to as Banana or Sag's 60/40.

there is no Sag strain called 60/40....lets just get that out of the way cuz you're definitely confusing yourself thinking that there is. also, almost everything from Sag now a days is not like the original....due to them losing there moms and dads years ago during either a robbery or a bust (don't remember.) i'm sure tony or rosa would say that there isn't much difference between the old and new but come on.....they lost the originals so they can't be the same thing.

now as far as the whole 60/40 thing goes....i think they used to write it like that but if you go to there website you won't find it so whatever. i've grown yumbolt that was purchased in person in '99 and of the 5 females I got, none of them even had a hint of banana....now sensi's cal indica smelled and tasted like banana but definitely not yumbolt. the yum is very tasty but it had more of a rotten fruit smell to it....no sweetness whatsoever. it will also throw male flowers with the slightest stress....however, the cross of yum x cafe' girl that i made would show male flowers but i never found any seeds so i'm assuming the pollen wasn't viable....which is a very good thing.

so again, i think you're totally confusing yourself with the whole 60/40 thing. it's a term used to describe the percentage of how much the plants leans to either the indica/sativa or sativa/indica side.....nothing more, nothing less....like i said in my original post (perhaps you missed it.) if someone gave a strain the name 60/40 then i'm sorry but that has to be the lamest name for a strain i've ever heard. and if yumbolt has a banana pheno then it's from the new genetics cuz there was no talk of banana ten or more years ago...and certainly not in the batch that i grew out.

thank you for the post, do you happen to know what Sag strain was used in the Banana Kush cross then?

sounds more like someone doesn't know the lineage of what they're working with. and for what it's worth....banana kush has been in arcata for well over 8 years and possibly longer but thats how long my friend has been out there and banana was one of the first that he ran. now it's either str8 ogk or bubba cuz thats what brings in the most at auction.

but like i said, if you're looking for something that actually smells and tastes banana....try sensi's cal indica. i found a banana pheno out of a 10 pack in '97 or '98 so as long as the strain hasn't changed it should still be in there.

about 7 or 8 years ago I asked Tony of Sagarmatha seeds if he had anything I could buy in bulk to give away as 'freebies'.......since he was selling quite a few seedlines at the time that had particular names and were going for certain prices, he said that he would sell me about half a kilo of various seeds that were only named as to their indica/sativa hybrid percentages and not as to what actual Sagarmatha varieties they were since this could upset other vendors who were selling Sagarmatha seeds......the 60/40 was one of the 'un-named' varieties that Tony sold me........and mostly they were given away.....

 

[captain.koons]

thanks gypsy

I want to find out if anything similar to that prior offering is available in seed form.

Do you think the Blockhead containing mix packs will ever be back? Those have to have been my favorite purchase.

 

[dan_kass]

That definitely clears things up...thanks Gypsy

A search for banana in the title will bring up about a page and a half of threads with some pretty good info.

[captain.koons]

I'm going to try the Sag forums. I don't think Tony has disclosed the info of this strain yet if he even recalls anymore.

Thanks all
