all my friend said about them was that he got them from some farmer that he knew and the farmer gave them to him as kalamata red

Sounds like most weed in greece and albanai must suck. Amazing considering the good climate they have but the same has been true of their wine for many years which is much inferiuor to what france, italy, spain etc can do.

^^you must be kiddn right????

THEIR WINE IS THE BEST THEIR IS PERIOD.
everybody stole the vines from greece after alexanders
men perfected it....an claim it as their own.......BULL!
ita ALL greek to me OPA hahahaha...

HEY it would be very cool to see this grow ongoing an NOT
just another thread that dies out un finished?

Greece has the best climate for weed,super dry,different soil types,mountains
flatlands....you name it,but the people are very old in their ways still.....
You'd be very lucky to find the killer cretian red,or kalamata but just may
have something here!!!

I too would like to see this. There have been some pics of Bosnian weed before, and that seemed like an interesting mix of features. Balkans is pretty much the only place in Europe with ancient cannabis use.

yeah mang, let them sprout :)
spent 8 months there..smoked some awesome Sativa dominated stuff but nobody was able to
provide -with certainty- any seeds Labelled like that
to me, as Lou already mentioned,apart of the genes (which in my very humble opinion have their origins somewhere in Africa)
it's the climate, the sun and the plethora of different soil types which make the difference on the final product...home sweet home eh :)

Your inability to justify your opinion(that's only what it is!) urges me to take it with a pinch of salt. But then I guess you know so much about Greece...
Of course, there's horrible wine and grass in the country like in every country. But, beware my friend, the best grass I toked was in Brazil first and then Greece where it was raised by my own little hands...

Now as for the seeds, although I can't say the chances are as scarce as hen's teeth, still I take it as kind of unlikely they are what they're claimed to be. However, were they the real ones, then this naughty bloke has run into a precious strain.

So, New Hippydon, I wish you the best for this intriguing project and when it's carried out wishfully,
then "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.":)

orfeas thanks for the best wishes, I don't know really what to look for in the plant to know if I got what they say it was or not

Never mind the traits!
Once harvested you'll know by the look of the buds and the overwhelming high!
It'd be nice if you started a grow log, a knowledgeable bloke might chime in

The name and location suggest(to me) a sativa, possibly reddish stigmas or even buds/leaves.
Taste might be earthy, peppery, a fast high and long lasting.

But that's just my imagination:)

Your imagination is quite close to reality especially as to the high.
Yet, we'll never know until he grows them beans and see for himself...
It'll be the only exegesis of their origin and nature!
