Help me in the quest for potency.

[iLoveHippies]

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to share my burden and give some insight into my issues, I'm a tolerant smoker, very tolerant, some have even said it's ridiculous, so god damn tolerant that it's become a problem.

Now this is a bold claim, but just how tolerant is ridiculous?

I have... Smoked 5g of good haschish in bong and not feel even tingly, mostly headache because of the excessive amount of smoke, I had three friends that were the control group by having identical hasch and all three having good experiences of it.

I have... Smoked 5g of good weed in a day? No problem.

The list could go on, but alas I think you get the point by now, my quest is finding the strains that will finally get me everytime, I'm looking for a trippy Sativa and a retarding Indica retrospectivly, both so strong I could have open heart surgery and not even notice it preferably.

I've looked at a lot of alternatives on the Indica side, but alas the strong sativa to day remains elusive, the "OG kush family" and it's different hybrids seems to be the way to go on the Indica side, but I've also looked at Mazar, Northern Lights et al.

The Sativa side however is currently "bad", as I also care about yield in addition to potency most Sativas fall short, this however is not unexpected due to the fact that Sativas *are* lankier in structure most often, my favorites on this side are Grapefruit and Kali Mist, both who are excellent but I miss that hardcore trippy high that I once got in my not so tolerant times.

Some people speak about a roof in the high, this is also of course something I absolutely must avoid (thus strains like trainwreck most often just fall out of the window).

So yeah, that's my problem, I'm so fucking tolerant it's tiresome, and I'd love to get some help solving these issues so I'll take any tips and arguments, because I've been at the growing for over two years now with little luck (though it have been 2 awesome years with a lot of tokin').

Thanks in regards, the ol' Hippie lover.

(And no, you don't need to mention tolerance breaks).

EDIT: It must be a strain obtainable from seed!

Hows about some Haze or Haze hybrid for the sativa? Neville's, pure haze, SSH, MangoHaze, LieuHanh??

And for the indica's maybe some Herijuana, SensiStar, Black Domina, or ChemD??

Try any of these? Worth a shot imho. Just

If you dont find any luck w/ those...there's always crack and dope !

 

[supermanlives]

my last run with sensi black domina didnt impress me . it was nothing like it used to be. i am hoping bogs sour bubble will solve my issues with weak weed. i have yet to find a strain i dont build tolerance too. and i have had many many strains.

 

[DrPoison]

Hey superman...just order some Sweet Seeds fem S.A.D., a Black Domina S1 from a 1998 award winning Black Domina that looks pretty dam nice and for less than 1/3 of the Sensi price tag. Will see how they turn out??

Mr Nice Nevilles Haze Mango finished in 14 wks (11 from clone) and was some of the most potent herb I have ever smoked or grown (out of about 35-40 strains). I've had career smokers (25years +) tell me it was too much.

 

[D.S. Toker. MD]

I smoke a lot and have for years. I grwo and smoke as potent a weed that is grown anywhere but i go through periods that i cant really get high on it. I dont like the fact that i have to cut back for a few days to regain my ability to get high, but my wants and likes arent relative to the truth.

The truth is that a tolerance develops and to break it you have to reduce consumption for a few days. It helps a little to switch strains every few days, but after years and years of tolerance development, i know what has to happen. You can deny it if you want, but that means no more buzz and you dont seem to like that. YOull have to decide which you dislike the most: not getting a buzz or taking a break.

YOur not wanting to hear that doesnt change the fact that its true. Hey! Maybe you'll get the flu and wont be able to smoke for a few days! Problem solved.

Check Nirvana's Durban Poison (Durban x Skunk) and their recent Urban Poison (Durban x (Durban x NL)). Durban is a hardcore trippy sativa with decent yield and flowering time. I recommend it because it cuts through any tolerance and even "experienced smokers" find it strong.
I'm not sure if it can give its best indoors though.

 

[iLoveHippies]

DrPoison: I've tried greenhouse SSH, and it's a cheap knockoff, but I have actually looked a lot at Mr Nice's stock, I'm looking at the Mango Haze more specifically.

Iron_Lion, that's a perfect suggestion that I have looked at myself, thanks for the vouche.

D.S Toker. MD, Yeah I know, I'm already on a break as of a few days ago, so that's the reason it's needed to be mentioned really, I should have clarified that in my first post, since I smoke not for medical reasons but recreational I actually can and do go without tokin' a couple 'o weeks here and there.

yoss33: I've tested Durban Poison, it was quite nice but it was only one sample from one too early plant from a friend, I liked it but it didn't have that extreme trippyness I inherently seek.

Thanks for all the suggestions, they've been great allround, the Sativa side currently looks something like Sensi Kali Mist, MrNice MangoHaze, MrNice SuperSilverHaze, Herijuana, I'm also going to take a look at Bog's gear and see if he got any nice Sativas.

These last few posts have been great on the Sativa side, but I need find one for the Indica side as well, OG #18 from Reserva Privada or Chemdawg/Sour Diesel/Deep Chunk if I can find the seeds are also possibilities.

Thanks, if you got further suggestions, please do post

I hear you on the tolerance it happens to the best of us, but 5gs just sounds crazy, to me at least. Like after the 1st couple of grams, or ten or so thumb packed bowls of hash, whichever comes first, how much higher can you get especially with some good bubbles.

 

[Yes4Prop215]

i have a tolerance build up too...smoke about a 3.5g a day on average...i can some purple erkle and most random stains and be sober again in an hour. but my SFV gets me pretty keyed....2-3 rips out of the roor and im done for the afternoon. its 1-2 hours of couchlock followed by naptime...

i know everyone is getting tired of the OG kush hype, and some say the high is boring and dumbfounding...but its still some of the most potent stuff you can get.

Durban Poison X GDP X OG kush is also pretty potent....they call it Cherry Pie around my ways.

 

[headiez247]

I'll prob get flammed for this but when I stopped for a few months, man the first week of going back to smoking was amazing, like I had never done it before. Straight up giggles and shit. So fun.

 

[Phillthy]

og kush is not indica to me. mostly sativa. same with chem d.

def vote for a haze here. IMO nothing can replace a haze in your stash. rez's ssh x chemdog was amazing and finished in 11 weeks from seed.

 

[longearedfriend]

I always saw og kush as more indica dominant (with a cerebral effect for sure)

The relax and unwind effect is there

and the mental stimulation is there too


I searched a bit and some people say its 60/40 sat

 

[PotentGreen]

I have a pretty high tolerance too and ive found that Pre 98 bubba kush is a winner everytime on the indica side of things. Top notch smoke, potency is there. Flavor is coffee, hashy and earthy. Always gets me FUCKED up. A couple fat bong loads of this stuff and its quite an experience. Bomb on the exhale. Im seeing alot of similarities between the pre 98 and bogs sour bubbles. Food for thought

 

[Marcellas]

i hate tolerance spells... but anyways, SourBubble won't disappoint for your indy

 

[river rat01]

id say haze for sure.

i wont touch hazes anymore after growing haze X northern lights #5 years ago, that stuff was WAY TOO INTENSE for me!

i like smoooth sativas now, like flo.

 

[compost]

I am pretty fortunate. I smoke 4-7 grams a day but besides 2 to 3 different in house strains I trade some of it for 4-8 different varieties to keep things mixed up. That and I am gonna start trying to add a few OZ's of AF's to each run for more variety.

 

[PotentGreen]

Just wanted to confirm my thoughts from earlier. I thought about it, and if your going for potency...the pre 98 and the sour bubbles are really something to look into it. Personal stash smoke

 

[motaco]

Well that is a ton of pot to smoke. Unless you have a medical condition I think the obvious answer is to stop smoking so much.

Assuming you have a valid reason to smoke 5g of hash in a day and still don't feel it what I would recommend is a high dose of edibles. Not to get high off of but rather to provide you a base line high you can then raise by smoking more.

But even then you will still have the same problem. The more you ingest the higher your tolerance will go and you will require more. At some point you will just stop getting high off grass, (or rather your brain will no longer process what being high is like, because the brain will be so used to it that it feels like the natural state of consciousness for you), or you will reach a point where you are smoking ounces per day.

At a certain point you need to get a grip on your ingestion rate, because that is the root of the problem. Dealing with not feeling high is dealing with the symptom and not the problem.

What is going on in your life where you want to be so intoxicated you wouldn't feel surgery? Perhaps pot is not for you if you like getting that fucked up.

 

[Hammerhead]

Im very happy im not like that. I smoke a gram every 2 days at most and it gets me baked. If I break out the concentrates it makes me pass out.


When I was younger I was like you I could smoke all day and just feel it slightly. I stopped for a few years to concentrate on my carrier. After I started again I get really stoned now.

The best thing is to stop far as long as you can. Give your system a break.
