Belladonna? - ICMag 420 Cup - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

two heads · 05-04-2009, 06:20 PM

Yeah, I'm leaving this a little late. Going to Amsterdam for my 50th birthday on May 6 and I'm curious whether any coffeeshops are carrying Belladonna (Paradise Seeds strain). Not the seeds - those I have - but the herb itself. I would like to have a taste to get an idea what I might harvest this fall.

My apologies to those reading this twice. I have already posted this question in the Worldwide Cannabis forum but time is limited and I thought someone on this forum might have recent info.

Thanks, two heads

Man...I didn't care for it. It got tossed out after a couple of runs, but it was a m-fer to trim. Didn't live up to the description, but then again...it didn't make it for further runs.

I hope you enjoy it though....ya never know.

I tried it last year but the slugs got every plant. I was looking forward to a trippy high but it sounds like it might be a lot of trimming for nought. We'll see come fall. Hopefully I find some in A'dam. Thanks for the quick input.

You may have the magic touch

WAMEN · 05-04-2009, 06:54 PM

most strains in coffeeshops have some kind of nickname.. you could be smoking belladona while calling it "skunky white" or " trippy bud" you know what im saying..
so im pretty sure you wont find proper belladonna in coffeshops..

hey TH i remmember your swamp growing thread.. respect

Ive grown belladonna outside.. its not very mold resistant, flowers are leafy but very frosty.. the taste is cool but the high isnt a true blast (on the sativa side) .. i found it too clear to be considerable..

two heads,

most likely you will not find any belladonna in the coffeeshops

I just got back from there and did not see it anywhere, or have I ever seen
it or heard about it in the last 5 years, at least not in coffeshops

if you have a chance take the train to haarlem, 10 minutes from amsterdam
and go to willie wortels sativa and indica coffeeshops and smoke their
amnesia haze and nevilles's haze, that is some really killer bud

as far as belladonna there are a few threads in this forum, just use the search
option and you can read what other growers think of it

Thanks everyone. I'm sure I'll find lots of good herb in A'dam in May but I guess I'll have to wait till October in Ontario to try Belladonna - if the slugs don't get it first!

Respect back at ya WAMEN. Thanks for the grow report. Unfortunately, as you and Miss Blunted suggest, it sounds exactly the opposite of how it is advertised by Paradise seeds. I'll run a swamp thread again this season and hopefully have some Bellas to report on myself come fall.

South Florida, we'll be renting Dutch bikes (we're big cyclists) and I've been contemplating a bike trip to Haarlem as it is only about 10k away. Do you know if there is a bike route connecting A'dam and Haarlem?

WAMEN · 05-05-2009, 09:59 AM

From ADAM to Haarlem its about 15 minutes with the train.. i dont think its 10 km only...

05-05-2009, 11:17 AM

Hi there,

It's about 18-19km from Amsterdam centre to Haarlem, and I'd like to do it on a bike one day myself!

Ciao

JamieShoes · 05-05-2009, 12:01 PM

if you have your back to A'dam central station turn right and start peddaling, you'll find the bike sign posts soon enough (make sure you're heading in the right direction by stopping at Barneys for breakfast :wink

.. be sure to be travelling AWAY from the red light district.. which actually is ALWAYS good advice :wink:

half way you'll arrive at a place called "half way".. which is nice, because then you know you're half way...errm (Halve Weg)
