The mango haze cut i got is 100% uptown funk with a hint of tangerine/mango flavor thrown into the mix. FIRE SHIT happy to finally have her on board.

My bomba Mango pheno is a sweet orange and Mango flavored herb with no ceiling that produces a crystal clear uplifting high...

Mr. Nice seedbank!! Creamy piff for all your needs. SSH and Mango Hz is whe it's at for most. Neville's should be a lil different, more trippy
Ace Seeds, Tom Hill, Skunkman for the more "orig" non-skunky hybrids, with the exception of Skunkman' Skunk1xHaze and thai haze skunk.

Thx for the input

This is an interesting post ,Specifically the comparion to Blue dream .It was not long ago i read a report where the BD was noted for incense traits.I have heard some great things about the plant an the lineage consisting of a santa cruz haze .Soo to hear your comparison of early 2000 uptowns n BD is great

should add ... I only tried one batch but usually their stuff is fire so I don't know, the blue dream was a disappointment.

by the way, for all the negative talk about sensi seed bank that I've heard. I was in cali at a buddies and the sensi nl5 seemed fire, will it smoke that way ... we'll see. Look for a mid-early summer update there.

additionally, the sensi silver haze #9 cut will take any old school NYC hazelovers back to days ago. Smoke report to come as well

and now, a moment of silence, as we send our well wishes to a flowering girl who lost her mom and will now have to undergo what hopes to be a successful reveg. Good vibes please ... thank you

the blue dream I came across was basically blubbery haze ... all haze is somewhat uppie but I didn't think NYC anything of the batch i tried. it truly was some bunk stuff. maybe others have had better/other experience, just my two silly cents

cheers all ... and so far the world hasn't ended today ... lol :)

Mr.nice seeds is wher you will find your best sativa/haze hybrids .i bought a pack of the doors when the rock en roll seed release was down . but what i have read ther mango haze is where its at .and ther super silver haze. the only thing i have that is close to any hazes are the doors,sshf2,and rezdog sssdhXI-1, the rez gear is a mix of his 2 cuts of SSH XSDIBL.
but as soon as i have a proper place to grow them i am going with the mango haze and rez double strawberry diesel . that is a cross of kksc with his diesel.

bigherb. I have been saying it and can say it again! I have found 2 phenos of The Uptown. One more indica and one more sativa.

The smell is 100% undeniable. The affect sends you into a heady stare-off DAZE. Has that speedyness to it. 100% stinks like the Uptown before lit and BLOWS the room up with the Piff smell when smoked.

I bought some nugs of this on the blocks I fuck with uptown. 130 - 140 and Amsterdam. Met up with several peeps who had no clue what I had. When I broke it out they commented on how "ill that haze looks" and when we lit it up they said it was the best Piff they had in a minute and it reminded them on that "old school back in the day Piff". I still never told them I grew it or have the cuts.

That was my test. You know how you can become overcritical about scents and things the more and more you are around them. Me and my brother were starting to do that. We would say "it smells like the haze, yea, but it has an undertone of skunkyness or fruitiness" when the reality was we were just SO USED to the Uptown Haze smell.

Once I brought it around people who are used to seeing block work Piff all the time and they gave rave reviews and asked me who I copped it from I knew I had suceeded.

Smoking a fat blunt uptown with my peoples and returning to BK I begin to think...

"I love NY. I love riding the subway up and down town high as fuck. Watch out for them de-railments and third rail explosions though. Lol. I love every pan handler asking for change. I love every hot dog guy and their delicious entree's of goodness. I love all the porno shops! And I love the looks of shame of the dudes that are coming out. I love grilling them extra! I love when it's cold and you can see your breath in Manhattan. I love taking the subway to 14th street and hopping on the L train. I love that sexy female on hanging on the strap. "Please take my seat. I couldn't have a creature like you stand in front of me, though please don't frown upon me because I do enjoy the view." I love Brooklyn. I love the bodegas. I love the reggaton coming out of all the little Domincan bars. I want to go in one but I no hablo espanol and I'm shook. But the pretty latina mamis lure me. I love the guy in my deli who makes me the Philly Cheese steak, no onions, with provalone for either $4 or a little nug. I love my door. It's green like my herb. I love my awesome key that gets me off this street. Into another world. A warm place where the flowers grow..."

This is what it makes you feel like. LoL.

I can't wait until all of you can experience it too. I want to get these genetics TO THE MASSES!

I have not dialed them in BY ANY MEANS. I wonder what they could be capable of? I will be doing another run soon enough. Until then, anyone interested in this strain should contact me via PM.
Man you make me homesick. I used to love riding the subways with an O or 2 and being able to walk right pasts cops posted up, with not a word being said to me. Sometimes I think the only way I can fall asleep is being rocked by an mta train. My favorite panhandler was a midget in a wheelchair with a puerto rican flag hanging off it who used to make his runs on the 7 train. There's always music or someone selling art or illegal dvds, even churros. You never know what you will find in the underground of nyc. Union square is great in the summer, hotties everywhere, I used each lunch there everyday.
Don't be afraid of the Dominicans (I'm one), just ask "Quien quiere fumar?" . I never met a Dominican in my age range who would turn down Fire.
Man I miss being able to get really good cheap food almost anywhere. You'd have to go out to like east new york to find bad food in nyc. Almost every country is represented in the streets or restaurants and most of it tastes great when you're stoned. I've been away for two years and this post makes me want to jump on the next flight back.Thanks:tiphat:
This is an incredible thread btw, You're doing exactly what I wish I could do. Ever since I could grow I've wanted to capture the elusive puday. I still remember the first time I saw that brown moist goodness in a sealed bag with a red line at the top. whoo.

Pretty much what Tom Hill said. Original SSH and Blueberry had phenomenal phenos - but that was a long long time ago.

i always thought piff was another slang word that didnt mean anything, an adjective not a noun. i remember when i was younger i would get some nice haze that ppl were calling piff i wounder if it was real

Whatever happened to this thread? Any piff come out of it at all? What happened? Nothing?

I know several peeps with film canisters full of haze beans, time to ask around and get popping? They aren't exactly hard to come by...

Not sure if anyone said this... Your seeds were probably collected from a hermie of unknown genetics? How do you know it's pure?

How do you know any seeds from batches of haze are pure? You don't. It's bagseed. Odds are they aren't growing anything else with the stuff though, I'd at least bet as much. Read the first page and ask OP the same question.

As to the specifics of what the genetics are, none of us know for sure. It all came/comes from fla (atleast what I see) and who knows how many different hazes are being grown down there. There are awesome batches whose buds look similar to the hazes coming out the the my and my friends gardens, and there are the more 'mershy ones that clearly have more indica influence but have a similar aroma. These days the awesome batches have become a bit more scarce (they're probably choosing to grow the quicker flowering ones more and more I'd think as cali is ruining the whole market with their volume) but they are still around.

My experience with the church(piff, uptown haze whatever, down in VA it was church or haze) is a 75 dollar 1/8th that fuckin rocked my world like no other. Loved that dank Franciscan Monastery stench of dead flowers in rank water in vases and burning holy candles. The taste is just as it smells, only inhaling through your mouth. The buzz is divine. Conversations with God ensued.

The only other time I had anything close to that taste or smell was SSH from Greenhouse Coffee Shop in the Dam in 06. As soon as I lit the blunt and inhaled I went back to church. The buzz wasnt as strong though which was disappointing.

I believe that Church, SSH and Mango Haze all came from the same genetic pool. Some seeds went this way, some seeds went that way, and some just went. This is why there is such a diversity in Haze, you're talking about lbs and lbs of sativa bud coming in from the Caribbean, South America and Mexico. The genetic diversity there is astounding! Of the 3 IMVHO, Church was the strongest but then again that could be grower vs grower rather than strain vs strain.

I would love to get a cut of this plant just for headstash growing. Medicinally it helps with depression and ADD a lot and I need something like that. I could never get tired of that taste and smell either. It's better than real incense...

Thanks for posting Art! Keep it danK!
