Green Nepalm?
- Thread starter GhGhdagga
- Start date
It is a strain that was created by the breeders DUTCH FLOWERS. After gettin' a DY NO MITE pheno of JoJorizo's Blowfish S1's I was eager to try many of the other Dutch Flower strains, one of which was Green Nepalm F2's that were available back on C=b@Y. I can't remember the genetic make up(sorry) but I can tell you that I was rather disappointed by the green nepalm along with the venomberry, Ghaze, Etc..!LOL Infact nothing else I ever grew from Dutch Flowers stock ever got close to that one pheno of Blowfish.

This is how Dutch Flowers described it...
Green Napalm
Lineage: Nepalese Mountain Sativa and Mighty Candy
Breeder’s Description: Nepalese Temple hash is widely recognized by discriminating smokers everywhere for its unique qualities, and we have always wanted to obtain seeds to the underlying strain for use in breeding. Luckily, Nepal is not an altogether unusual tourist destination, and one visitor mailed home two sets of Nepalese cannabis seeds corresponding to distinct geographical regions. The seeds corresponding to the high-altitude Nepalese Mountain regions produced plants that immediately stood out for its manageable phenotype, early flowering and response under artificial lights, ultimately proving to be most valuable for breeding given the exotic quality of its high and distinctive taste.
The best Nepalese Mountain sativas were combined with a Mighty Candy and then selectively inbred to improve stem strength, reduce internodal distance and sativa stretch, and contribute to flower density. Inbreeding Green Napalm for several generations has proven successful to stabilize several desirable traits, most notably a short 8 weeks flowering period and top notch bud quality. Flowers are bright lime green with orange pistils and very few leaves, but it is their crystal coverage and intriguing aroma that sets them apart.
Trichome production is remarkable, flowers and part of leaves are uniformly covered with sparkling crystals. Pondering at this resinous blanket immediately reminds that Nepalese landraces have been selected for centuries to make legendary Temple Ball charas, a pot snob’s equivalent to the very best French champagne. Incidentally, the best champagne in world is thought to be Louis Roderer’s Crystal, a name that seems to validate our analogy. Flowers have high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which is unfortunate because Temple Ball hashmaking should be mandatory for all Green Napalm growers.
Aroma is intriguing and complex, and testers refer to flowery, spice and fruit notes to describe it. Inbreeding has not affected the wide spectrum of aromas found in Nepalese seedlings, making it exciting to ascertain each individual’s unique makeup. Most seedlings fall into three basic terpene signatures, all carrying a fruit & spice combination: strawberries / sage, pineapple / rosemary, and peach / mint. All three are uniquely tasty and sweet, with a disturbing rotten meat smell lurking in the background, but this note is only perceived by the sharpest noses. GN makes a good stealth plant, as it has very low odour when growing.
High is perceived immediately, but will creep and get stronger during the next half hour, taking the smoker progressively higher up trough several stages to a very clear final destination. A drug testing program volunteer described this final state as one of “intense lucidity,” strong, cerebral and very creative. No trace of couch lock at any point of the experience, this is a flower for the thinking, active man. Very visual, clear and inspired, it makes a good choice for musicians and anybody looking to enhance leisure and social activities, although it is too deep for daytime. A strictly recreational strain of no medical value: no body-numbing or pain-relieving effects; not an appetite inducer.

thx Rudeboy, SmkNdog and all for the inputs. I was
curious to see if somebody had personel experience with
this strain.
I had intitialy heard of it way back on old OG site. I
also had come across the same description that SmknDog
posted .
I know that I didnt hear very much of anything special
about it ever.
That one thing that I do remember is it was at one time,
very very pricey but apparently overhyped?
Here is a copy of a poster named "someone" posting about
this strain from the old OG site.

for around 1300-1500 about 6 them prices i'll just cross my own and hope i get lucky,
hehe."
IMOHO, That's quite abit for mother natures seeds.
I have since been able to source a c99 x Green Nepalm
cross. I may look to see it bloom. will comment on it
again if things develope. goodbye all
If I can, I'll post some old archival pictures taken by someone else.
