The Highland Oaxaca Gold Thread - DJ Short and Legends Seeds - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Mr. Alkaline · 11-23-2006, 10:19 PM

I thought it would be nice to dedicate a thread to such a great strain.
This has been compiled from a couple of DJ’s articles and put together in a strain guide type format. Perhaps, some pictures will be posted at a later date
I hope to see an eventual rebirth of this strain.

An Original parent of Flo….
A true building block of Blueberry….
The purple in the Purple Thai…
The now Legendary...
THE Original, Heritage, Landrace Highland Oaxaca Gold

The Oaxaca Highland Gold, somewhat similar to the Colombian Gold, lacked bright gold color but sported purple and red calyx tips on its blondish-brownish-green buds. It had larger buds surrounded by long, skinny leaves. It was a nearly pure Sativa which grew tall at 45°N, outdoors. It was also one of the most symmetrical Sativas I have encountered. The plants grew long side branches toward the bottom, and the even growth made these productive beauties look like Christmas trees when mature.

The Finished Product: A very sweet and spicy herb of the highest quality, with a hint of fruity pine aroma. ) A certain, unmistakable flavor comes to mind: that of incense cedar/frankincense/burgundy/floral with spicy/savory undertones. Coffee, chocolate and fine tobacco were also present, but the sweet incense cedar is what I most recall from the Highland Oaxaca. It produced the most desirable finished product, in my opinion, and has yet to be replicated to my complete satisfaction. The seeds for this variety were small, dark and round, and the plants exhibited slight signs of hermaphroditism and required surveillance to maintain seedlessness.

The High: A long lasting, creeper high that kept coming on in waves over the hours, this stuff had no ceiling. One phenomenon consistently reported from the Highland Oaxaca experience was that of peripheral visual distortions of primarily cartoon color images. This tended to increase the visual distortions caused by other psychedelics such as mushrooms or LSD.

Smoke Report:
I smoked this variety during brief periods in the early 70's and again in the late 70's, paying anywhere between $40 and $120 per ounce. It was some of my all-time favorite because the aroma and flavor were of a super-spicy cedar incense with a slight fermented berry taste, in a very comfortable yet powerfully psychedelic pot. This herb contributed to many great parties, concerts and events of the era because it produced a very socially-conscious experience and mixed well with other psychedelics.

Highland Oaxaca Gold vs. Chocolate Thai:
The Highland Oaxaca was structurally a different strain (tall, with a definite main-stem, symmetric with less hermaphroditism and better formed buds). The two were crossed and the resulting seeds produced the famed Purple Thai that I was able to use for quite awhile. The Purple Thai exhibited the symmetry and desirability of the Oaxaca with the potency and dark coloration of the Chocolate Thai–the best of both worlds, and its hermaphroditism was much more manageable. It also cloned well. The plants from these seeds also passed the test of equal or improved quality progeny in terms of finished product. Personally I preferred the finished product of the Purple Thai to the Chocolate, not just due to its growth patterns but in terms of the overall effect.

Great post, I never knew Purple Thai was a hybrid, I just thought it was a purple Thai strain. God I'd love some highland oaxacan beans AND some Purple Thai.

RM's Oregon Purple Thai (OPT) : Authenticity confirmed by DJ

Mr. Alkaline · 11-24-2006, 07:30 PM

It is not difficult at all to see the similarities between RM's Blueberry Sativa pheno and the OPT cutting.....a striking resemblance indeed.
Both hybrids are from the later progeny derived partly of Highland Oaxaca Gold genes......
RM's BBSAT cutting:

(Note: The BBSAT found in SOL Joint Project genetics is a strong relative of these two cuttings; although superior and unique in its own right.)

so, got to ask

where're the H.O.G. beans at?

11-25-2006, 04:52 AM

Mr. Alkaline, great compilation of info.

I've got some of RM's OPT x NL#5 next on my list to germinate.

Peace

Mr. Alkaline,
I m so grateful to you to have saved that photo.
I thought it was lost during the CW/OG fiasco.
I took that picture in 2002 at Steve's breeding facilities in Lugano.
The Blueberry Sativa was really a perfect example of the special deformated plants you can find into DJ's lines.
Peace.
