Yes I forgot all about the Purple Haze those were the days, your not lying about every body wanting that "loud" and like you said, I would gladly pay whatever just to have a stash of that weed, me and my friends used to sell nickels of some lime green buds with some seed, back then we and others would call it The Firegreen, Ari, hawaiin, we would chip in and take a cab down there and get enough that we hoped would last a few days but it was so good we would smoke it all within two days, I don't think the twenty year old crowd has even tried it, they only had the "Piff" which I think turned them off to all Hazes

I was smelling it again tonight, and I detect lemongrass, paraffin, and maybe burnt wood. I can't quite put my finger on it. However, I have been told that due to the reddish color in the stem, it is a PNG leaning pheno. The Haitian side is supposed green.

Thanks for your contribution,

ThaiBliss

Apologies if i went off topic ,Haze makes me do that

The aromas are intriguing ,im not familiar with the term pararffin but seems it kerosene ,also lemon grass is somthin im not familiar with much

But it sounds similar to Nevilles haze in some ways .Lately ive been burning a somalian frankincense an it reminds me of Nevs .But i notice a lemonish pine scent .Which ive not very familiar with in incense .But it brings me back to NH n got me itchin abit


With Genetics like that I'd imagine there is great potential for ride to the moon

Keep us posted on the progress

Best wishes

Bxgrower81 and BigHerb - You are not high-jacking at all. If you are talking about weed with a great high that you love, you are exactly right on topic. I'm keenly interested in your discussion.

Since the Dominican Republic and Haiti are two countries on the same island near Jamaica, I'm glad to hear nearly confirmation of what I thought I remember reading.

Paraffin is a wax made of oil, instead of beeswax. It's not quite kerosene smelling, but kind of oily.

Thanks for the posts.

Have you run across Real Seeds' Mekong in your research ThaiBliss? Seems like a good prospect for some trip ganj. After I move out west i'll be looking to do outdoor pheno hunts for that true sativa magic with such strains.

"Region: Southeast Asia
Strain: Mekong

Genetics: Pure Southeast Asian Ganja Plant
Latitude: 17°N
Regional Maturation: late December to early February
Height: 3m - 5m
Aroma: intense spicy musk; fruity ganja
Characteristics: aromatic, long flowering; very heady, euphoric high
Grow Type: Outdoors or greenhouse

This is a very aromatic ganja strain cultivated in the classic 'Thai' growing regions of Northeast Thailand and central Lao PDR, along the Middle Mekong.

Vigorous and high yielding plants producing buds with a fruity, musky aroma. Buds typically have nice resin coverage and are denser than might be expected for a tropical 'sativa' when cultivated outdoors.

The high is euphoric and stimulating, with larger amounts producing a more intense 'psychedelic' effect.

Buds form in large clusters and calyxes can show darker purples and browns in late flowering.

These are very vigorous, irregularly branched plants that can grow to 4 metres or more outdoors. Potentially a very high yielding plant, with the better phenos showing great potency.

Increasingly the collectors are inclined to think the 'Red Thai' and 'Mango Thai' are phenotypes that can be found in this landrace genepool, rather than actual 'strains'. Mango phenos have a more fruity aroma and often lighter green leaves, whereas the 'red' phenos have pronounced red pistils and often more dark colourations, with muskier aromas.

Indoors requires experience, allow 14 - 18 weeks for flowering."


If I had my way i'd smoke nothing but ambered out exotic sativa luxury. I've smoked plenty of nl5xhaze, ssh, durban, kentucky fried, and so forth, all really good smoke mind you, but to this day nothing touches the real deal sativa imports of old.

So good luck on your quest! I'll be starting my own soon enough...

Subbed... and bound to be one of my favorite threads.

I was lucky enough to start smoking just before everything went to shit mexi brick. One of my favorites had electric colors - lime green and orange. Didn't come with a name so we just called it trip weed. Almost racy, way up head high, rollercoaster (esp. sitting back listening to tunes with eyes closed. Cosmic.), pie-eyed and smiling wide with a duration of a few hours.

Thanks for documenting TB.

Sounds really good ThaiBliss, I've always heard good things about PNG bud and always wished seeds were available somewhere to try some. Crossed with a Hatian should be something special.
BigHerb and Bx, I love hearing stories about the NYC haze buds and Church and all those other names, because they are like conformation to me that the old strains I smoked in the 60's-70's were not my imagination or my inexperience at the time I smoked them, they are parallels to your experiences in a different time period.
If we could narrow down the characteristics of what we've seen, felt, smelt and tasted we could find some common types and regions of origin to search through.
This is a great thread with lots of good info for anyone searching for that one that got away.

There are lots of landrace indicas around.

World Of Seeds: Mazar Kush, Ketama, Pakistan Valley
Dr Greenthumb (insanely high prices): Iranian Autoflower, Iranian Landrace
Tom Hill: X-18
Sensiseeds, Nirvana: Afghani #1, Aurora Indica (87.5% Afghani #1)
Aceseeds: Pakistan Chitral Kush
High Quality Seeds - Afghani Hindu Kush

HQS is an older company that I actually started my first seeds from.

The reason they're everywhere, is because they are very easy to grow.

Greetings,

Brelva - I have not tried Mekong, but have heard of it, and it sounds wonderful.

BigHerb - I would like to hear a description about the Church Haze high as best as you can remember it. I've heard so much about the smell, speculation about sources, etc., but I don't remember anybody waxing more than a few phrases about the high. Please do go on about it.


There are so many good suggestions so far about where to look for the type of high I'm after. I'm hoping that everyone feels free to write about personal experiences and good stories about things that happened while under the effects. Pictures posted of the plants are a big plus.

I am currently well stocked with what I think are some good prospects, at least for the next couple of years. I've never felt so good about my seed collection. I just need to turn them into confirmed cuttings. While doing this, if you all are documenting first hand experience with trip weed, it will help me/us in the future, with this thread as a reference, and hopefully start others on the path to help make these types of weed more widespread.

The handful of great cuttings I have held in the past were always stumbled upon with a little help from friends. The only world class one, so far, from a seed company was the very particular Neville's Haze individual. Keep in mind how picky I am. I don't intend to offend anyone. I have grown plenty of very good weed, but so few were as good as the top shelf grade from my youth.

I have only purchased seeds a handful of times, and mostly only recently. I've always wanted to keep a very low profile. So, I don't have a lot of experience with what is available. Most of my experience is what I've come across floating around California and Oregon, and only ones that people have been willing to share.

If I find anything exceptionally great, I plan on sharing freely, partly as a way to try and redeem my own hoarding out of existence some strains that I had. I have been feeling truly guilty and regretful for those great strains once in my care that I lost. I feel I have let down the younger generation by not passing on the work of our ancestors in as good or better shape than it was when I started smoking.

Happy Hunting,

ThaiBliss

Thaibliss, I think you are making a very important work in diversity preservation, that is more important for myself than the cash croppers and the pollen chunkers that only select clones and hype them to hell.
The world need more people who work for more than money and to put their names in hype. In May I'm going to Perú,I will try to collect as many seeds of what I smoke hoping I could get some nice sativa genetics from los Andes...



Greetings and nice thread for all of us who love sativas and tripy high's
