Looking for best Hash Plant

[Carlos Danger]

Here's some food for thought, re hash production. A few years back a neighbor and I tried a guerilla grow with some Dinafem CHP in some pine forest. In the winter there appeared a fair amount of light but in summer the canopy closed up with vines and other obstructions. The CHP didn't grow for shit, just stunted and started flowering early, but it didn't affect resin production at all. The plants were a foot tall and the buds loose, but they were absolutely sticky and covered. The throw against the wall grade of sticky. It seemed at the time that the looser bud structure from the shade allowed greater room for resin production than the tight cabbage heads typical of the indicas. I've been pondering since if you wouldn't be making hash production easier by shade growing plants for looser bud structure.

That goes against everything I know about growing anything, no where have I ever read that cannabis is a shade plant.

I hear Ketema, is a good Moroccan plant, and also heard some good stuff about Sleestack X Skunk#1, Hashbomb.

Peace

I find that depends on the plant in that region, they often scale the plants and use mixes to make the hash up.. some of the Ketema types that are used for slate are very dry and not to my liking, where as the blonde they use is v good imo, but I think they like a pakistani plant best up in the rif region.... they also use a red leb type... but some find this though trippy not as smooth and good as the favoured pakistani... it wouldn't surprise me if they were using plenty of afghan types up there too.

There are indeed plants that do better slightly shaded, than in full sun. Peace GS

They prolly have a good mix, really you can't tell what your getting unless you make a direct comparison. So unless you have access to those regions you will have to trust the seedmaker and also hope that there are people around to help you determine what's around, and how it stacks up against what is grown in that region.

I like Landrace lines because of the originality that comes with the multiple phenos, old school flav.

Hmm interesting which kinds my guess is an indica as most shade plants have broad leaves.

So in your experience what lines would I be looking for if I wanted a shade friendly plant?

The Burmese I have does better off to the sides of the room than in direct light. Timewarp also does pretty well if shade is necessary, but I do prefer her in full sun. Few others that slip my mind off the top of mt head. Peace GS

What he says is legit. You may not get the best yield but you can get some serious resin in lower light conditions.

Some of the best bubba I have ever grown was on the edge of my grow in indirect light.

I'm not saying it's a shade plant but that if ease of resin collection and production was your main goal over flower weight giving indica varieties some slight shade and loosening the buds might be worth it. We've all seen indicas that have grown buds so dense the interior is bereft of trichomes. I'll put it on next year's list of things to do. Perhaps a 20 or 30% shade cloth like those used to keep lettuce from bolting. This is all getting a bit off topic, I was more wanting to praise the ability of the chp to put out resin in low light.

Interesting, Never heard of shading a plant, always provided as much Sun / Light as possible.

learn something new everyday.

I too, but there is always a spot or 2 in my room with a little less light than the rest. Good to have the right plant for those spots. Peace GS

Check out the cultivation of tobacco in new England. The premium tobacco is almost universally shaded. Sometimes the sun can get too intense.

I would understand tobacco being shaded the leaves are huge and collect a lot of sun. I have grown it in the past and was surprised at how large of a leaf it has.

Maybe we should compile a list of strains that grow best around the outskirts of the garden or more hidden areas outside?

Peace

Anyone tried the classic seeds old school hash plant?the few pic's i've seen of it look good.

 

[Carlos Danger]

Sd I don't even know that it's cultivar dependent so much as grower's goal dependent. This idea would only really benefit low-yield quality hash production. By restricting light you're diminishing flower yields and allowing greater and easier access to the trichomes.

I think classic seeds and dinafem both originate from the old Hash Plant in the original catalogs of the 80s (sensi? Positronics? I can't remember atm), but that is pure speculation on my part. Dinafem has listed in a couple small places that their Hash Plant is of East Indian origin.

This thread had interesting stuff on hash plant strains:

I'm pretty sure I was getting biker hash plant back when I first came across it around 2002. That lizard pheno sounds great, I may have to try to find it myself.

 

[Sativa Dragon]

I have been scouring the net in the search for a awesome hash plant and it always comes down to the same plants, some Pheno's like the Lizard which are hidden in Sensi's Hash Plant some where, or the Red hash of the Lebanese strains, or anything that seems to be named Hash plant. Either way you slice it there is a real following of people that prefer their hash plants

Does it have that old-school west coast Hash Plant taste and stone? I was looking at that one earlier and it looked promising.

Someone said it earlier and I agree.. Deep Chunk..
