Apologies if this is covered before...what does this strain possess to set it apart from various Mexican strains? I have Tikal from Ace as well as HMxBB, Mextiza,Acapulco Gold and Zipolite Oaxacan.

Still have more ripening with more projected chance of showers.

I was going to harvest but i decided to let alone for awhile.

Beautiful plants and thick Colas. an early test smoke was smooth woody flavor and clean up up type of experience. Had me buzzin around trimming til the early hours. More info and photos to come.

Wow sativa-herbivor!

So nice to see you are also growing our recent Honduras sativa release, you seem to love sativas and sativas seem to love you!

You got very interesting Honduras phenos, clearly more related to the purple colombian pheno (the best one!). Your Honduras females show a clear sign of improvement compared with the original P1 Honduras plants we had to start with.

I really want to thank you for your interest in exploring our 2 recent tropical sativa releases: Ethiopian and Honudras

Hi SierraPadre,

Honduras' effect is super clean and stimulant, all in the head effect, a caffeinic, euphoric and energetic kind of effect, in this regard it's similar to the good old mexican sativas of uplifting and clean effects, but Honduras is much better yielding than any pure mexican sativa i have ever experienced.

I was in Roatan in 2016. Picked up some great bud from a water taxi. If I had known it was Sativa, I wouldn't have smoked any because they tend to induce anxiety and paranoia in me. But this didn't! It was more a great high instead of a big stone. know what I mean? Anyway, I was looking for seeds in the buds but didn't find any. I'm going back in a week so I'll definitely ask for bud with lots of seeds this time. lol

Anyone know if it's illegal ship seeds out of Honduras? I know it's ok to get them in Canada without stealth even.

Most countries have pretty strict regulations about importing seeds, but I can't imagine anyone cares about taking them out of the country. If you're worried, keep in mind that xray machines display pretty much all organic matter as the same color, whether it's cannabis seeds, coffee beans, or wooden beads.

I brought home a whole cocoa bean pod from Ecuador. It sits on a shelf in my office. No one even blinked.


I know that food and plants are a huge no-no.

Sometimes I wish I could travel through time to smoke different kinds of cannabis from different periods in history and I just saw something that triggered my obsessive compulsive disorder.Below is a link to a 1987 special news report about pilots that trafficked marijuana and cocaine for the American CIA to fund right wing contra military groups during the Nicaraguan civil war. At the 4 minute mark it talks about a pilot who in March of 1986 worked for the CIA and landed at a CIA air strip in the jungle of El Aguacate Honduras where he smuggled a total of 25,000 pounds of marijuana back to Homestead U.S. Air force base in south Florida.

Here is a New York Time article about the CIA air strip in Honduras from 1983

This is a picture of the air strip from 1984




You could make a historical recreation of the type of cannabis being smuggled back then by growing Honduras landrace under Reptisun 54 w ho tropical t5 lights or Arcadia 54 watt ho t5 with 6% UVB to mimic the tropical sunlight of the Honduran Jungle flowered in a screen of green SCROG to maximize the bud surface area expose to the UVB lights, maybe even grow the buds slightly seeded to make things even more historically accurate.



Then once the buds are dried wrap them in wax paper and use a car jack press or if you don't have one put the buds wrapped in wax paper under the back tire of your car and back over it to flatten it like a f*cking pancake!! then take the pancake bud chunk and seal it up some how so it is cutoff from all outside air like being in the center of a marijuana brick, then keep it that way for 4 or 5 months and presto!!!! You have recreated 1980's CIA contra weed!!!

This could be a new product line in dispensaries if they offered "historical recreation weed" from different regions and time periods.

[yesum]

Looking forward to popping a couple of these seeds. The reports on the high are just outstanding.

Cool post...

I've done extensive testing on UVB bulbs and have a meter that specifically targets UVB / UV index wavelength so it is extremely accurate.

IME - By far the best true UVB for your buck are these lamps linked below (T5 306nm 14.7w version), used in Dermatology, industry for curing etc... the UVB one is the one you want and you're right, if growing equatorial plants the UVB really brings out special traits, especially terpenes

UVB light travels differently and penetrates differently than visible light IME, it doesn't seem to diminish nearly as fast from it's source as other ranges tend to.

The reason for the kick ass high is that weed packed like that sweats and ferments.

Want to smoke something that'll scare the shit out of you? Try a Malawi cob.

"Yes cook her for a week and then check whats up. Cook longer if you have to, if you get it to be dark brown black after aging it will scare the living day lights out of you"
