Who has the best afghani in seed form?

C

Chamba

I couldn't find Maple Leaf Indica from Sensi at Seed Boutique just now...must of sold out.

Moondog or other growers who have grown them, what are the other Sensi Afghani based strains like? Please offer a few words on how you rate them.

@chamba: afghani #1, heavy smell (fruity to hasjy) and a good night stone after 1h of ingestion...

they also sport the shiva shanti line, which is a polycross of ghanis, then you gotz their hajsplant and hasjplant crosses, hence plenty to choose from

only thing to be aware of sadly, the germ rate of their offerings seems to be on the low to none :/

Nirvanas Aurora Indica is NLxAffie, and their NL definitely has some Afghan phenos. I found an incredible Afghan dominant NLxShiva from them. I also have a pack of Maroc x Afghan from them I'm looking forward to. :)


I know i post her alot, but here's a NLxShiva (Afghan pheno).

poor germination rates are utterly inexcusable and extremely disappointing....if I read here that some strains of Sensi Seeds will have less than 90% germination rates, I'd avoid them like the plague....who wants to spend $50 ~ $200 for ten seeds that only some will pop? not me.

I germinate seeds of mine that are up to a decade old and still get more than half of them to germinate, for seeds of mine that are less than 4 or 5 years old I get 90%+.

Storage conditions (temps, humidity etc) are crucial to maintaining excellent germination rates, but so is the health of the seed mother plant and whether the seeds are allowed to fully form on the tree. It's not that hard, even a numb nutted, brown finger like me can do it reasonably successfully, so I don't know why one of the biggest and most experienced professional companies like Sensi cannot do it better?

to be honest i think, them boys got to much $$$, else you wouldn't fuq around with customers like that... if i remember right in 2k9 or so, they introduced "reclamation sheets" to growshops selling their gear, where they requested for the grower to fill it out, send in the non germinated seeds and the packets ROFL only tells you how bad the situation must have gotten... spoke to a couple of representatives at some hemp shows and the only feedback i got was "we know about the problem, and we are looking into it" (unneccessery to say 3 years later, you get to hear the same shit) -> dem boys live good enough off of selling partially viable seeds, hence why change it ;)

blessss
ps.: to be honest most if not all, of the ole dutch companies still operating, went downhill REAL BAD :(

Not to put too fine a point on it, but there's always somebody willing to bad mouth somebody, and others willing to broadcast hearsay as gospel.

I've not grown anything from Sensi, so it's not reasonable for me to comment on their product, particularly not in a negative way.

A lot of things can go wrong after growers select, test germinate & package seeds for sale. We've even seen fake seeds from unscrupulous middle men. I sure as Hell wouldn't get goofy over poor germination from a couple of packs of seeds that have been halfway around the world in the hands of a variety of characters whose business model is to skirt the law in the first place. I'd be slightly more inclined to trust the opinion of EU growers who buy directly from Sensi or any other seed maker, but I don't have that privilege here in the US.

Of course seeds I've grown & cared for myself will likely germ better, simply because I have no economic reasons to keep any but the best of the best, and because I have total control of storage conditions. They'll never cook in the hot sun in a mail truck for a day or two, bet on that.

The Afghani I smoked was like a bright orange/lime green color and tasted like the finest hashish you ever could find. Sublime, pure, Afghan. It was the standard to judge all others by. A shining example of what MJ should taste like.
Ive been chasing that taste ever since, and havent come close to it. Only other strain that compared in taste was NYCD red grapefruit cut.
It is a priceless strain to find. No money amount would be to large to score a cut of that.
Its always been my favorite smoke Ive ever had my entire life.
I know the guy who knows the guy who grows it, and I need to track him down and pray to God the guys still around and would consider selling a cut. I highly doubt it though.

That's some juan valdez shit right there. I'd write that on the side of the strain container at the dispensary.



found a bean in some afghani delight. saving it for a rainy day.

growing some hashplant & kush and urkle crosses, but that's as close as I come to this thread right now on pure indica weeds.

He said their AF #1 was crap, I remember that. Think he grew the Hash Plant and did not like it either.

Motarebel's old Bubba Kush x G13/HP cross is still out there to be bought.

That sounds real good. I like the idea of those Peak NL seeds. and maybe some of the crosses that look real nice. I like how they make it easy for you to look through some seeds in numbers. gotta find that winner.

a few breeders play with "Original Bubba" the Afghan Kush from the 70's brought back to Cali by hippies on hash trips before all hell broke out in the region

If I had a dime for everytime someone pulled its not the original statement out there ass I'd be a rich man. but I know all the children believe the new age chuckers with kush, fire alien wtf ever is better then the all time greats truth is old school genetics are still Dank, Fire whatever you kids are calling it these day's I never had any issue's with sensi seeds quality.

So then you have purchased a pack recently from sensi and grown them out??

I am not a kid...i am old enough to remember WHEN sensi seeds was very reputable and trustworthy...NOT ANYMORE

My favorite afghan in seed form so far LA Confidential , but I do have a pack of MLI ready to run someday soon. I do have a question for you guys, that motarebel's Bubba Kush x G13/Hashplant is it the same strain as Hazemans Bubba Kush x G13/Hashplant? Or are they 2 different strain with the same lineage? I have 2 females of the Hazeman bubba G13/HP ready to bud, hopefully they are good, Ill report back after they are done.

well if you base your judgement on ten seeds no wonder its not the same as the first time you bought it. hell seems to me there maple leaf indica is still bomb. I have grown out a pack of super skunk about a year ago I wasn't disappointing nor overly amazed with a bigger selection you should find a really good one. I smoked their jack herrer a few years ago and it was some of the best bud I've ever had.

But honestly how hard is it to keep a mom and pop alive? there are some old clones like cheese for example. Now say for instance you have a mom and pop that produce amazing seed and your making serious cash your telling me you would lose them genetics? So you keep he parents alive and the seed produced from the mom and pop with the same genetics then you will produce the same quality seed year after year.:tumbleweed:

SO all you did was add your conjecture..and opinions...and I have YET to read any FACTS...all you do is comment with little facts to back it up...Have you tried keeping a mother for more than 10years..
If so then maybe you can comment on this...but all i have read from you is you're own hot air...

so really cheese is not a good example its well over 10 years old is that not fact? so where are your FACTS there quality has gone down? cause all I heard from you is bs opinions no FACTS. the fact is there are many mothers over 10 years old. why does everyone who's tried Maple Leaf Indica like it? So lets hear it....

Their Afgani #1 was very unstable when I tried it, out of 15 reg beans, I had 6 mothers and they where all diffrent phenos. To give an example 1 was over 8 feet tall by the time the stretch was over. Others averaged around 3 to 4 foot after the stretch. Haven't bought any sensi beans since they started the 10 seed packs, instead of 15. But would like to try the MLI

good luck on you journey...
