Maple Leaf Indica

The taste is a bit like orange bud, taste not as good as Soma/Hypro Amnesia Haze but the effetcs are incredible. 7 vs 13 weeks
Try it, you will love it. Guaranteed

What I meant to say is that it's nt an hybrid effect, it's very pure in terms of effects
No anxiety at ALL, at ALL. just like alcohol if you see what I mean, so relaxing!

I have access to all the cali stuff and have grown many strains. MLI is never going out of my top strains I have on hand.

Pure relaxing feeling. Stoned is part of it but mostly just lays you back mentally. Not the most strong strain, though not weak. And not the most exciting or tasty smoke.

What it does really well is just chill you out every time. Most of the other strains I have tried give some excited effect, which can cause anxiety sometimes. This is one with almost no bad effects ever.

Grandaddy Purple is another which has been a real keeper for me. It has a bit of sativa in it and can cause some excited feelings, but never any real anxiety or bad feeling.

Great thread, i have to pop some of these beens. I popped one it was malr, thought about useing the pollin but the male had no smell or trics. Does anyone know if this is a pure landrace indica?

Yes it's a pure landrace indica that is called "pre soviet era indica"
I think there isn't purer indica than this strain, even hash plant and afghani #1

It's only after smoking Maple Leaf Indica or a good batch of real Sensi's Northern Lights harvested in the 45-55th day harvest-window that you understand that weed doesn't need to be VERY strong and very compex to be enjoyable. It's actually quite the opposite.
The least hybridized, the better it is.

So if good selection is practives one could mantian the line with sufficiant numbers without having to re-envigorate with outside genetics? Or would it be good breeding with other pure genetics?

Hope this isnt a intrusion..But I'd like to add that if looking for MLI its really best to follow the Most Indica Lines ever made as mentioned by others here..
other alleys to try...
MapleLeaf Wilson...JimOrtega...it all goes back to Jim and Sam and sacred seeds really...
Other view is...What some folk got that was introduced as MLIndica is possible Afg-T or Afg-S related..ala Nevil..quoted below..

I do think Jim is still around..and Sam is def still round..
But anyway I do keep what I feel is my own best MLIndica selection...
Now not to counter any points here but MLInd form I isolated for is a Monster in size..It doesn't shoot allot but will if N is over done or its to deep green at onset..Either way its Wide but really Not very tall compared...
Its stays squat to Med height...Its no super Kush tight in form or carries any Kush tones at all...Its def Not a Kush and Im talkin the slang term Kush I mean the Kush Variety its self.....
although it is def very very Afghan IMO/E and the pre-soviet tag seems to still apply....
Wheres the images at tho?....in the other section?...
I cant see any of the images mentioned..

Nevil S. : ortega15 x ortega#3 given to Ed R by Nevil. Who only got two definitive ortega15 phenos out of 60 sensi mli beans, it is not particularly dominant but looks just like he first pic and exactly like the pic of the cola laying sideways that shanti posted beside the ortega description. It's Maple Leaf AfgT, which I crossed with Ort15 male which was also pure Maple Leaf. This was the most indica ML male. This male dominated most things it was put to. Because of this males dominance, you had to grow a few plants to find the AfgT type. It also didn't have the yield I wanted so I didn't release it then. SB was right to use this line as it is one of the few sources left of the Pure Maple Leaf. When it is crossed to an Indica/Sativa out of AfgT or it's sister AfgS, I'm expecting some extreme shit.

my maple leafs are exactly the same as the OP described...

so strong, and a high that literally makes you smile, it's just so strong, warm, and comforting, without any paranoia at all, absolutely the BEST strain on the planet for stress relieve, IMO. after a long day at work or in the middle of an argument, this stuff just melts you into your chair, sooo satisfying....

it's a very full bodied high...i mean, og kush is a strong heavy high, but it has a raciness to it, unless it's run more than 80 days it seems to completely lack in what the maple leaf has, that ability to fill every need in your "stone portfolio"..i smoke a 9 week og and i never feel like i got "all the way high" like no matter how much i smoke i feel like im not quite there yet...the maple leaf is so full bodied from the start that even harvested at 56 days it feels satisfyingly fulfilling from the very first hit till you decide you are done smoking.

on top of that it yields sooooo huge! maybe i got lucky but this strain yields 2-3 times more than any of my other strains, it has a weird habit of trifoliating for the first 3-4 nodes on about half of the clones i take, upping the yield even more-so...densest buds ive ever seen...

i have harvested it between 6 and ten weeks and it's best at 8, before any real amber and still not a ton of red stigmas...usually im not one to harvest until rather late, with at least 25% amber but ive actually real several articles about how this strain specifically was bred to never go amber...in the articles it explained that the ambering of tricomes wasn't due to a chemical change in the thc but rather a thickening of the tricome cell walls, causing them to look opaque, and then amber as they thicken...

i'm not saying it is true but it seems odd that they would just make it up, and the strain is very noticeably better at 8 weeks, with barely 1% amber if that...

Thanks so much for the thread Yesum.

That MLI sounds wonderful.I had been looking around for an Old School Hashplant.This one sounds like what I was hoping to find.

I get confused about strain lineage from time to time,but didn't Ortega factor into the MLI in some way?Is/was Ortega found within the MLI population,or am I quite mistaken?

Looking forward to seeing your pics as well Dino.

There were some pics of MLI posted, one I remember by Silverback(RIP), and all the shade leafs looked like big ole maple leafs. I will keep searching but hard to isolate pics like that.
