HEADY BLUNTS' LIVING SOIL EXTRAVAGANJA

whew! it has been a long and ugly past month for your friend heady blunts.

the good news is the plants are in their containers. the soil felt great as i was planting, and hopefully everyone should take off. i might still pull off a decent crop!

the bad news is that they are back at my flakey friend's house. so everyone please keep your fingers crossed that we'll make it to harvest with no disasters.

everything is set up to be as foolproof as possible. no sprays, no feeding, nada. just keep them watered and the soil will do the rest.

i've told my friend the best thing he can do for the plants is play his guitar and sing to them.

i'm expecting a clutch of males. they will be removed when i get back from a trip in a couple weeks. i plan to take cuttings of the studliest plants and flower out little males for controlled pollination.

besides the six seed lines that i had slated for OD this year, i also recently popped 8 beans that arrived in a most generous care package from a friend :)tiphat:).

i couldn't resist squeezing in the kali mist x burmese/cherry bomb and the NL/haze lines into my OD this year. germinated four seeds of each. i totally neglected the poor things so they survived by their cotyledons alone for the last two weeks. only one perished in that time (an NL/haze seedling, RIP).

SO, here we are, just as july is coming to a close, and i've got a bit of hope again. i promise to post up some pictures over the next few weeks as things start to get exciting.

thanks to everyone for the support!

PS--- VG, thanks for the topping tip. great idea.

DF, i gave your FBPK pick her own #10!


:thank you:
The KM x B/CB should be tall plants in the end...really tall. Yet the late planting may keep them shorter eh...

Heady, sorry that you're stuck having to use a questionable route, but I will keep fingers crossed and prayers in my head that no troubles ensue from the arrangement.

The dude I know has been workin' it....considering the few who know the growth habits of TO this is WORK and time...and more time...and more time..and security....and more security.
TO x Chemdog
TO x SC99
TO x Spacecheese/BMR F2
TO x CC's African
TO x BMR
TO x BMR bx1
TO x Cherry Bomb
TO x Burmese/Cherry Bomb


Just a few of these have seen daylight...others were given away to growers who will do something with them.

....and then there's her sister Blue Orca's recent crossing's...
Blue Orca x NL#5/Haze
Blue Orca x Cherry Bomb
Blue Orca x BMR...line given to Mr. Greengenes who named it 'Cousin it'

Thank the Coot,CC1 and MGD kidz ....perhaps if things work out these lines can be worked and shared~ Be on your best behavior..;)

i know of some BO/CB and some TO/CbBurmese growing.

good luck heady, get some pics!

TO x NL#5 (1988) just starting to flower. This is a cutting from the original seed plant.

Flying by the seat of my pants - nothing looks all that familiar.

We'll see.....

Is that regular 'ol NL#5 w/o the haze?.... either way it's got good parents.

Isolated from the HNL - extremely isolated

I really do not like Indica at all and this has all the signs of leaning heavily towards the NL

Never know until it's done - hopefully

I forget what the plant lable the original NL cuts came with that Neville got. ..but they might have provided clues to what commercial sativa was part of the original NL. I suspect it's commercial Columbian...and the Indica being a highly resinous Afghani...which mostly resembles the fat leaved mazar type of Afghani. All we have are clues left from the past....no solid proof of anything except charachteristics that lead us to guessing. I think I heard that it was Afghani x Columbian backcrossed to the Afghani....whaala...Northern Lights....the first bags we got were from Whidby Island at $30 bucks an 1/8th back in the early 80's.

Yeah - that's what I understand as well.

Columbian - interesting that since every bale that I ever watched being unloaded in Southern California had 'Industrial Products of Argentina' (in Spanish obviously) printed on the burlap.

Look at a map of South America and you tell me how one would have gotten cannabis loads from Columbia over to the other side to ship to Orange County - something about jungles, lack of roads, etc.

Just thinking outload......

...it ain't no Thai in that Northern Lights.
Whatever was happening in the late 70's...we were getting the Sticks and commercial stuff from S./Central America up here. I suspect it came in through Tacoma/Seattle...shipping containers maybe???...either that or it landed in LA and was transported up here.

The very first Thai sticks to hit Laguna was in December, 1976. As it was later reported by 60 Minutes in a segment, the original deal was being handled by some US Air Force personnel - a group in Thailand and their contact in So-So-Cal and they were moving product via Air Force transport planes which obviously didn't have to deal with US Customs

There were less than 5 loads that the 'Endless Summer Boys' knew, for sure, that these were from Thailand - rice paper packaging, silk string on the sticks, the actual sticks were precision crafted, etc. and in a pack there was 9 kg of stick and 1 kg. of 'untied Thai' - aka Dealer's Choice or something equally stupid.

I know for a fact that Thai seeds from the early loads in 1977 and through the early part of 1978, these seeds were taken to their contacts in Mexico. When the first of the 'grown in Mexico' Thai sticks arrived it was dismal. The bamboo sticks were crap and as far as real silk thread? LMAO

The buds weren't anything to get too excited about either - basically commercial Thai. If that.

(shhhh....great minds are conversing)

**listening**

Every experience I have had with what is certainly much more modern versions of NL and various crosses - I have truly loved. I enjoy NL, it would seem...but then, I was / have been always a bit more of an indy head...

Carry on.... ;)

Hybrids...in S. America...perhaps hhhmmmm. Spanish stuff crossed with Thai??? That would possibly explain some of the similar effects from some types of 'Mexican' as compared to Thai...

One of these days it'll all come crashing in and people will probably poop.
