TRUELY potent strains

Hi there,
There are quite a few threads about "the most POTENT strains". My idea about a potent strain is weed which consistently gets me high (after a few hours, after a few days, after a few months) and I smoke little of it to stay high throughout the day. Weed that I don't want to smoke more of after a few hours.
Obviously, all indicas and most skunks are out of the question - sooner or later you end up smoking lots of it just to get up from the couch. It might be potent the first time but not in regular use. Many people say they smoke several grams of "very potent" weed every day. What's potent about having to smoke so much?? I've had my indica smoking times, done the several-grams-per-day, no, that's not the potency I'm looking after.
I've had single plants of almost pure sativas that had this truely ceilingless high that leaves you in a very motivated state where you feel you had "enough" for a long time. Plants that I couldn't smoke every day... like a real psychedelic.
Unfortunately, most of my experience is growing unknown sativas from bag seed. Now that I have to buy seeds I'm looking for "strains" where I have higher chance of getting such phenos.

Which is the weed that you needed to smoke the least? What daily quantities you smoked of it that kept you satisfied for a longer time (like 2 weeks)? Can you give some comparison to other strains you've tried, in terms of daily smoked quantities?
Since how much one needs is very personal, comparison of several strains is important.

Here's my experience with some sativa seeds of known origin which I had the chance to smoke for longer periods of time (to draw conclusions). Given are amounts that kept me high from noon to midnight every day:
Nirvana's Northern Lights (some classic indica just for comparison): 2.0-3.0gr - this one was strong, crawling like a zombie on morphine all day
Nirvana Durban Poison (skunky pheno): 0.75-1.00gr - raw power, tripping all day
Nirvana NLxHaze (sweet rotten meat pheno): 1.5gr - quite stoney
Nirvana NLxHaze (herbal spices and pepper pheno): 1.5-2.0gr - very pleasant and seducive to smoke more
Nirvana Royal Flush (flowers & pine pheno) - 0.5gr - positive and energetic day & night, good
Nirvana Royal Flush (mango smell, woodier taste) - 0.4gr - very clear and trippy, feels neutral on the body but can't smoke more because it raises my blood pressure (the only weed that does this to me, it usually falls)
Nirvana Royal Flush (lemon, mint and funk tart) - 0.00-0.4gr - I couldn't smoke this every day, too profound, every hit made during the day added to the previous ones and in the evenings I was like on ecstasy. This is generally what I'm looking for :) Unfortunately, this pheno is not very common (perhaps 25%).

So, what's the most potent you've grown or smoked?

For potency, you can do better than Nirvana gear. Don't get me wrong, as far as bang for the $, Nirvana has some good beans, and you can find real keepers in their gear.

I found a Jock Horror pheno that ripped my head off and made me uncomfortably high, and very paranoid. But I'm not really a fan of super racy weed, and that falls into that category.

C99 does the same thing to me if I over imbibe.

But we are all wired different. What gets me buzzed consistently may not do the same for others. My Hash Plant x C99 didn't have much tolerance build up. Even after weeks of puffing. Nirvana Master Kush, while nice and potent, was one I built tolerance too pretty fast.

If you want potent Sativa strains, look no farther than

MNS Super silver Haze
MNS Mango Haze
MNS Neville's Haze
Ace Congo
Dutchgrown DTC99 F2
Flying Dutchman Original Haze
Tom Hill Haze
Several of the C99 F2 or BX offerings.

But as I said, we are all wired different, and potency is subjective to the user.

Most potent I have ever smoked was Mr Nice Neville's Haze x Mango, you better have something to do to keep your mind busy after you puff otherwise its gonna be a long afternoon of hiding under the bed coming out only to peek thru the window shades.

:hide:


MNS SSH and OG Kush are also right up there in potency.

I know that high
Most sativas need to be grown or at least flowered in strong sunlight to reach that level...

Almost any African or SE Asian strains will do it.
That shit is so lethal in a bong, 1 rip and your really stoned for 4 hours plus.
Some special strains 7 hours plus and when the high wears off you feel fresh no burnout headache as you might expect from a trip that long.
Its a totally different buzz from indoor skunks.
Good luck in your search I would start with swazi rooi bart if you can find, its very pure and very trippy :)

I've never had ANY herb that if I smoked it day in and day out that I didn't get used to its effects and require more with time.

It seems I didn't do well in explaining what I'm looking after and what I expect from people to write :)
Btw, I have smoked many other strains than the ones that I listed, including the mentioned SSH, Jack Herer, Jock Horror, Master Kush and don't find the good phenos in Nirvana's (rather Sativa Seedbank) gear any weaker. I didn't list them because I haven't smoked them exclusively and continously.
I would like to hear real experiences (with numbers) of the weed you smoked the least daily and still it was great. With comparisons between strains. Or maybe I'm asking too much - people who smoke only one kind of weed for a long time :)
WelderDan :wave: how would you compare the high and tolerance buildup of the phenos you know of Tom Hill's Haze and FD Original Haze?

I didn't get the chance to smoke enough of either to see what the tolerance build up was like. Beside, I have to be very careful with the hazy stuff. It tends to cause anxiety and paranoia. So I tend to take a hit or two, wait for a while, then maybe a another hit or two. A number of the choices I listed are favorites of some of my Sativa loving friends.

This is a rather recent phenomena. I once could smoke a lot of anything, regardless of what it was. In the last few years, the racier stuff tends to wig me out. So I'm using feedback from some of my friends whose taste runs toward the headier strains

for potent sativa strains check out ace or cannabiogen... panama or bangi haze are easy to grow indoor, with compact buds and quite quick time, i grew bangi haze and potency is ultimate...

for sativa/indica hybs i recommend you dc/haze from tom hill or sssdh from rezdog...fair prices, plenty of phenos and potency which will kick your @sss! no joke

The most potent Indica I've smoked is my SWT#3 leaning LUI keeper. As far as outright devastation goes I've had stronger but potency to me is something that is going to wreck me and have a really well rounded effect, a complete high or stone if you will. For complete and total destructive power though I'd have to say SSH/ECSD/JH crosses I have tried have had me in a completely unique and often terror inducing state, almost like acid or research chems I used to play with. Anything with a strong haze backbone that is grown properly I find will have me flying. Listing strains like this can be misleading though as so much can vary depending on the skill of the grower and other variables. At least that's my take on the topic. :gday:

Green Crack. Smoked daily for about a month. 3-4 one hit bong rips every 3-4 hours a day. Total was probably a gram or less per day. Best I have had in a long time with little to no tolerance build up. Very strong yet functional.
 
my mentor had some white widow plants (guessing it was Nirvana cuz hes cheap) anyway he was a HEAVY toker for about 30 years & he took like 5 hits & spent the evening (4-5hrs) in the bathroom thinking he was going to die of a heart attack or something.

hasn't smoked since last I heard. lol

a mature Sensi Star can be potent as hell... some of the strongest weed we ever smoked however was a variety bought back (smuggled) from Amsterdam called 'Durban Lambsbread' . Just one joint of that stuff would get several people serious buzzing. Our own 'Landing Zone' (Durban x Jack Herer) had similar effects,, leading us to conclude that perhaps Sensi's 'Durban Poison' is the culprit in such madness.

test run,, Landing Zone (Durban x Jack Herer) left,, Marbled White (White Pearl x Sensi Star) right...

.. smoking Landing Zone was akin to getting mugged.. complete with disorientation.
