The Clone Only Strain 'Armageddon'

[Rezinous]

Whats up guys... ive been searching around the forums for some information about this Armaggedon cut thats in the UK but i cant seem to find any solid facts about it so thought id ask in here

First of I know next to nothing about this strain, i just know if i want it i can get a cut... all i know is a lot of it passes through the area of the country i live in and ive seen some very BIG buds of this plant... im sure its prone to foxtailing but i dont think it happens all the time, maybe its related to heat stress but im not sure.

Most of the time it has a very sweet taste and the better smoke ive had of it had quite a strong odor, the very 1st time i smelt it i was reminded of cats piss LOL. although im not that great with distinguishing different aromas but it was similar... theres not much else i can really say about it... i know ive had it from a few different sources though and each time it was slightley different e.g. lacking taste or potency

have you heard of this strain? any info would be great guys

I posted this question the other day in a other thread. I have found out that armageddon was orginally put out by pukka seeds, but HGF has the strain in there vaults. As far as I know it's not clone only m8, but it maybe a favourable cut that people are growing out.

If I find anything else out ill let ya know.

hmmm... so it could of been pukka seeds that put out the original beans!!!

so the selected cut im on about was more than likely just a favoured plant that was cloned and passed around....

makes sense that that it came from seeds though, maybe that explains why ive seen a few different but similar buds going around

thanks for the info mate... its much appriciated

A friend in Notts had the cut and ive since lost contact but he used to get huge yeilds and the bud was banging!! smell, high, etc tip top

if you can get it grab it !!

mate

ye im sure it is a huge yielder... some of the buds i have seen from this strain have been monsterous

 

[stj2006]

I'm really split between buying a packet of HGF beanz tomorow or the new freeze cheese 89.
I wanna see about trying it out seeing if it's the same or similar to what we had floating around up here around 3 years ago. Was tip top, really lime green buds, very distinct smell. When I made enquiry to where it was coming from I was told Notts!!

May try and find a few threads where people have grown it out. See whats what.

Iv seen grown out and smoked plenty of Armageddon.....quite frankly...its shit! Its a hybrid of about four different Sensi indicas, its potent and thats about it a friend of mine grows it commercially from seed and imo its an appalling strain she uses it mainly cause its low odour..Peace

for dropping by Dr. D... your input is much appriciated

its deffinately being grown commericially around my area... i know of 3 or 4 people who get it from different sources, sometimes its great and sometimes its not. my guess is some people or growing the clone only version and some people must be growing from seeds, maybe there is more than one cut going around?!?!

you mention your friend grows from seed... is this the strain that HGF are offering? im not sure if this cut im on about comes from there genetics or not, it could be because im uncertain of its origins... it could be from pukka seeds? all i know is this specific cut is where the better Armageddon ive smoked is coming from and it has been going round for a number of years now, it is deffinatelly potent like you say but it has got a super strong smell in the bag ...

hmmm the mystery continues...

 

[Dr. D]

Yeh the seeds are from Pukka and she is friends with the breeder of those pukka strains. He actually really knows his shit i dont know why his strains are so poor and drastically overpriced!
A friend grew it some years back it was like a tenner a seed! He was all like yeh each plant will yield 9 ounces, i tried to tell him about phenotypes etc but he didnt listen he knew it all lol....Peace

 

[dawgsbolloxs]

wel this particular armegeddon was far from shite..iit could boil down to you like red wine, i like white...horses for courses...it stunk to high heaven and was more sativa dom with large solid swollen buds, calyx to leaf ratio was of the chain and was a scroggers wet dream come true (pun intended)...infact that was the reason i didnt run her (stretch)defo a keeper imo..the notts boys have it and its been about for more than 10 yrs infact i would lay my bottom dollar on it this cut came from this one grower who chose the pheno personally...

 

[dawgsbolloxs]

I dont want to give anymore info out about there alias or gias, but if u do a search for armeegeddon and ukc im sure you will find some history related to this pheno as thats were i hooked up with them pre 2000 He certainly knew how to spot a gooden this is just 1 of the unicorns he select from back in the day and shared...he is sadly missed ..just went of the radar, if he does frequent forums maybe his picture will be seen and hit me up again!!

for your input mate...

the cut im on about is deffinatelly a sativa dom plant, you can tell by the fan leaves... the guy who's offered me a clone of this mentioned its very strechy, possibly up to 3x stretch in flower...

its deffinatelly been around my part of the UK for a long time now... where only 3-4 hours from Notts in a car!!!

Cheers for your help man, ill do some more searches and see what i can come up with... thanks again dawgsbolloxs

Kerbdog put out a clone of Armageddon47 [Homegrown Fantaseed] a few years back,, it went north and south, and all about... we know this cause we helped mother/clone them

Hope this helps

 

[DocLeaf]

were / are the stems hollow ?? btw the HGF version was live-o. high grade in 65 days

cheers for the info Doc...

that lineage sounds about right mate... the better armageddon i have smoked sure was skunky, its highly sought after round these ways... alot of people seem to either mention Armageddon or Cheese

im not sure about the stems though, ill have to ask the guy this question... i take it they are supposed to be hollow?

They were hollow,, but that dont mean they meant to be,, or still are. Plants grow woodier with age

We know a few trays (+) went out c.2004,, alongside other clones we were exploring back then, including Yumbolt, Rock Bud, Godzilla. Most of these strains got a kick-back against the Big Bud cut already provided,, cause the yields ran lower in their commercial rooms.. but the overall quality of clones like Armageddon47 we were putting out were far superior IMO.

Photos lost to Overgrow

It would be positive to think ppl are still growing her

Photos lost to Overgrow

Thats a shame Doc... thanks again for your help mate!!!

ill find out if the stalks are hollow, i know they had a nice colour to them... do pinky purple streaks on a flowering plant ring a bell?

the Armageddon seems to have a few different storys regarding its origins, similar to the kush and chemdog storys but not as confusing lol!

Since starting this thread ive done a bit more research on the web and come accross some information about an Armageddon clone called the Ripz cut... im not sure how legit the info is but it was mentioned to be a selected pheno from a run of pukka seeds back in early 2000... it says the cut was picked because of its high yeild, knock out high and fast flowering time of 9 weeks!!!

maybe this Ripz cut is the one dawgsbolloxs was talking about... its apparently been around the same amount of time

 

[stj2006]

Awesome info people, looks as if there would need to be some keeper hunting. I'll grab a pack next month, then later in the year do a seed run. Then next year do some pheno hunting, I plan on doing this with a few strains. Plans for the future!

Thanks again for all the good info in this thread, not as confusing as the whole blues debacle. ha ha

Armageddon was a strain originally crossed by Wernard at Positronics in Amsterdam. (aka the One Hit Wonder) .. four indian sativa crossed with Skunk #1 . When Positronics dismembered , it gave seeds to the workers, who formed their own coffeeshops and seed banks in Holland. Homegrown Fantaseeds is one of them and the first to release the strain.

peace

Note: Never speak bad of others,, but warn the youth,, dogsnuts are NOT original,, or reputable as reliable seed vendors. they are vampires.. sucking of little kids and feeding on money hungry idiots mostly. stay clear of them folks. There are 1000s of other seed outlets out there that are more positive. trust us
