F.O.G.
BRAINSTORM HAZE
MEKONG HAZE
STARGAZER
SUPER STAR
SOUTHERN LIGHTS


DESCRIPTIONS:

F.O.G. (Fruit of the Gods)
Variety Mother: NL5 Haze
Variety Father: Skunk #1
Strain Type: Mostly Sativa




GROWTH FACTORS:

A: Indoor in a controllable flowering environment for 9.5-11 weeks to complete flowering cycle. Can be grown outdoor or indoor, however outdoor warmer climates result in 25-50% higher yield.

B: All new strains are developed in soil exclusively at Delta-9 Labs. This strain however will have increased yield and perhaps a shorter flowering time if grown hydroponically.

*The plant grows moderately tall with allowing longer growing periods and creates many long side but close brances to the main stem.

C: The average flowering time is between 9.5-11 weeks depending if grown in soil or through hydro methods.

D: The average height of the plant varies depending on how long the plant is allowed vegetative growth, however the plant grows at least twice it’s height when put into flowering within the first 3 weeks. E: Average Yield: This variety has an a great yield even when kept short and grown in the small spaces. An average room size with proper ventilation and lighting will give you a minimum of 30-50 grams per plant with the plant being no taller than 1.0 meter.

DESCRIPTION: A.i.) The plant stretches slightly within the first 2 weeks of flowering. The buds are light and airy while they are filling in for about 5-8 weeks and then in the last 3 weeks they get very hard and dense. The calayxes swell up and become tight creating small but very dense buds. ii.) The leaves are short and wide which is apparent from the Skunk #1. They are narrower than a typical sativa plant so the end result is a broad elongated leaf blabe. iii.)It looks like a small bushy plant with many close to the main stem branches. iv.)Neem oil as our biological pest control and we have found this strain to be bug resistant and very resilient to any conditions throughout growing. B. i.) The high is very clear headed and uplifting buzz that one would expect from a mostly Sativa strain. The high is maintained very clear even during a period of work or socialising. ii) This strain in 1 word: Uplifting! From the first few minutes you want to change your state of being and get things done and motivate with friends or allowing one to stay focused with projects. iii) Since this variety is very clear headed and uplifting in a motivating way I would recommend this variety for any sort of activities. iv.) When compared side by side to the Dutch national medical cannabis variety Bedrocan, the resin glands have a very similar appearance and texture. v.) The smell and taste is very hazey. In fact the moment you ignite the bud the smell lingers throughout the room in seconds in a very thick white cloud of sweet smelling smoke. C. This variety has been developed during the past 3.5 years and is the latest creation from Delta-9 Labs. It has not yet been entered in any competition thus far. 6. F) Tips for other growers: In our growing stage nursery we like to alternate from a high nutrient tea mixture to a pure water supply in our reservoir in addition to fluctuating the Ph of the water between 5.0-7.3 All Mother plants are top dressed with a well-balanced guano powder to maintain the extra food required for longer flowering periods. The pure water helps break down the guano powder as well as refresh the plants with fresh clean water, allowing any residual nutrients to break loss and help get absorbed into the root system before the next feeding. EXTRA TIDBIT: FOG, The name of the strain is an acronym that stands for: Fruit Of The Gods. Harry was due to come up with a name for this strain we have been calling only X for almost a year. Then during the Cannabis Cup 2006 Harry came up with the name FOG after exhaling a big water pipe hit and noticing the thick cloud of smoke that emitted from his mouth. Everyone sitting around our expo table began to laugh. We then proclaimed the new name for the strain which we call FOG.

BRAINSTORM HAZE
Variety Mother: Pure Thai Haze breeding stock.
Variety Father: Stargazer (Sensi Star x Warlock x AK-47) Strain Type: Mostly Sativa




GROWTH FACTORS:

A: Indoor in a controllable flowering environment for 10-12 weeks to complete flowering cycle. Can be grown outdoors however warmer climates and a southern latitude facilitates proper completion.

B: All new strains are developed in soil exclusively at Delta-9 Labs. This strain however will have increased yield and perhaps a shorter flowering time if grown hydroponically.

*The plant grows tall and creates many long side brances allowing for less plants to be grown in a room allowing for optimized plant growth and yield. *Gauno fertilizers of high nitrogen keep this variety rich green throughout it’s growing period. * In a heat stress test experiment this variety continued to thrive over others tested. C: The average flowering time is between 10-12 weeks depending if grown in soil or through hydro methods. D: The average height of the plant varies depending on how long the plant is allowed vegetative growth, however the plant grows at least twice it’s height when put into flowering within the first 3 weeks. E: Average Yield: This variety has a tremendous yield even when grown in the smallest of closets. An average room size with proper ventilation and lighting will give you a minimum of 50-75 grams per plant with the plant being no taller than 1.5 meters.

4. DESCRIPTION: A.i.) The plant stretches significantly within the first 2 weeks. The buds are light and airy while they are filling in for about 5-8 weeks and then in the last 3 weeks they get very hard and dense. The calayxes swell up and become tight. ii.) The leaves are long like typical sativa plants however they are not as thin. They are narrower than a typical indica plant so the end result is a broad elongated leaf blabe. iii.)Regardless of the stretching, once the buds start to fill in the plant stops growing any taller. It looks more like a tree with many branches and leaves rather than a bush. iv.) With proper prevention needed with any strain, using Neem oil as our biological pest control we have found this strain to be bug resistant and very resilient to any conditions throughout growing. It prefers the hotter environments than the cold. B. i.) The high is very clear headed and uplifting. It has a creeper effect of about 10 minutes and the high is maintained very clear even during a period of work. Creativity and conversing skills flow easily. ii) This strain in 1 word: Motivating! The heartbeat rises with this strain creating a “get up and go attitude.” From the first few minutes you want to change your state of being and get things done. iii) Since this variety is very clear headed and uplifting in a motivating way I would recommend this variety for any sort of activities. iv.) When compared side by side to the Dutch national medical cannabis variety Bedrocan, the resin glands have a very similar appearance and texture. v.) The smell is very hazey. In fact the moment you ignite the bud the smell lingers throughout the room in seconds in a very thick white cloud of sweet smelling smoke. C. This variety has been developed during the past 3.5 years and is the latest creation from Delta-9 Labs. It has not yet been entered in any competition thus far.

6. A) The name Brainstorm Haze came to exist when the employess were completing a lunch break at the labs and Harry said to the crew, Hey, we need to have a smoke before we start work again and also brainstorm on a name for the new Thai cross being tested at the time. Our employee Jake said “Hey that sounds interesting what you just said Harry, the word brainstorm”. Since we always chat and share ideas together during our lunch break how about calling the new strain Brainstorm Haze? We all looked up with excitement and said, that’s an unusual but fitting name indeed.

6. F) Tips for other growers: In our growing stage nursery we like to alternate from a high nutrient tea mixture to a pure water supply in our reservoir. Many mother plants are top dressed with a well-balanced guano powder to maintain the extra food required for such large plants. The pure water helps break down the guano powder as well as refresh the plants with fresh clean water, allowing any residual nutrients to break loss and help get absorbed into the root system before the next feeding.

SUPER STAR

strain type: Indica 70% Sativa 30%
buzz: uplifting, creatively clear headed
taste/smell: sweet, super pungent/ combo of lylacs and lemons.
flowering time: 8-8.5 weeks
parents: Sensi Star(female) (50%) Sensi Star (male) (50%)
yield: 300-500 g/m2 (1-1 2/3 oz./ft. 2)
environment: indoor




Super Star is a double back cross of the legendary Sensi Star utilizing two breeding Sensi Star males. She gets her name from the amount of crystals she produces as well as the enlightening high which brings you the feeling of being a Super Star. The high is very clear and creatively inspiring. This strain is mostly indica with the uplifting properties of a typical sativa. Paradise Seed's Sensi Star, winner of Highlife and High Times awards in 1999 and 2000; has been back crossed by Delta-9 Labs with the main characteristics being chosen towards the sativa male phenotypes from the labs. Conventional wisdom says that sativas give smokers a head high in contrast to the indica body high. Super Star successfully joins the original Sensi Star with 2 powerfully selected males to produce a buzz that both stimulates the receptors and opens the chakras. Recommended for indoor gardens or warm climates this variety's flowers may begin to reach maturity at around seven weeks but the average time is closer to 8 weeks. Super Star forms many individual main stem branches that grow very tall and sprout long thick leaves. The internodes or branching points seem unusually far apart at first, but they fill in fast as the growing cycle progresses giving very tight small dense buds. This sweet tasting variety delivers an uplifting mixture of mind and body buzz that can be energizing and profoundly clear headed. The Super Star high comes on fast and strong, so some pacing may be advisable. As long as it isn't overdone, the result should be a creatively progressive day which could be harnessed to complete major projects or to enjoy with friends for a night out on the town.

MEKONG HAZE




The Mekong Haze is a pure landrace Sativa strain from Southeast Asia. Although it may take up to 18 weeks of flowering time to complete, it is truly a pure breeding strain. This variety is very uplifting and clear headed. The Sativa high and flavor is very apparent and motivating. It makes you want to do things under her influence. Using this variety for your own research and breeding purposes will prove to be worth it’s value. The Mekong Haze is ideal for making F1 hybrid crosses with other Delta-9 Labs varieties. Having great patience with this variety will certainly reward you when the nurturing is completed.

STARGAZER

strain type: Indica: 80 Sativa: 20
buzz: relaxed, good mood
taste/smell: peppermint Mentos
flowering time: 60-70 days
parents: Warlock (female) (40%) x AK-47 (female) (20%) x Sensi Star (male)(40%)
yield: 300-500 g/m2 (1-1 2/3 oz./ft.2)
environment: indoor



Stargazer is an indoor strain from a family of strong, stoney connoisseur pot. Her mother hybridizes the indica-dominant Warlock and the sativa-dominant AK47, both noted for fast, stimulating, and slightly hashy highs. Her Sensi Star father is likewise popular for its fast indica body stone with a side dish of mental stimulation. Between them, Stargazer’s three immediate ancestors boast an average THC content of 20% and have won eleven major awards, including the Highlife and High Times Cannabis Cups. As her name suggests, Stargazer was bred for intense, alert effects that are felt in both the mind and body; for happily gazing at the stars on a night ramble or gazing into a dance partner’s eyes. In its recommended indoor setting, Stargazer takes between eight and ten weeks to flower depending on the temperature. She likes cold temperatures more than most plants do, which might make her a good candidate for outdoor planting in the northern latitudes. Typically, though, Stargazer grows well in densely planted soil or hydro. Her skunk and Afghan dominated genes lead to extensive branching, but sea of green cultivation is possible with some pruning. Stargazer’s internodes are close together, sprouting thin, whip-like branches that may require support once the buds begin to reach their full density. Her short, thick leaves are speckled with the oh-so-feminine pink hairs characteristic of her Warlock and AK47 mother-line. While she blooms, Stargazer’s scent is strong and leans toward pungency. Once cured, the palate is hard to describe -- in the background, creamy and slightly sour body; in the foreground, a bite of Sensi Star’s lemon flavor pushed toward the astringent and minty. Delta-9 suggests that this sour-sweet mixture tastes a bit like a peppermint breath candy, such as Mentos.

SOUTHERN LIGHTS
formerly White Star

strain type: Sativa (80)/ Indica (20)
buzz: uplifting
taste/smell: sweet
flowering time: 75-80 days
parents: NYC Diesel (mother) x Sensi Star (father)
yield: 400-550g/m2 (1 1/2-1 3/4 oz./ft.2)
environment: indoors






Southern Lights gets its name for its trichome-coated limbs that point out like rays in every direction. This strain is the sativa-dominant progeny of two highly awarded strains: Paradise Seed’s Sensi Star, winner of Highlife and High Times awards in 1999 and 2000; and Soma’s New York City Diesel, three-time Cannabis Cup winner and a favorite among the Amsterdam crowd.

Conventional wisdom says that sativas give smokers a “head high” in contrast to the indica “body high.” Southern Lights successfully mixes the two for a buzz that both tingles the pores and opens the third eye. Recommended for indoor gardens, this variety’s flowers may begin to reach maturity at around nine weeks but the average time is closer to ten weeks.

At this point or a little earlier, the calyxes start to bulge. Some gardeners prolong the bloom to between ten and twelve weeks for continued trichome production. Southern Lights forms many individual main stem branches that grow very tall and sprout long thick leaves. The internodes or branching points seem unusually far apart at first, but they fill in fast as the growing cycle progresses. This plant produces the best yields when multiple branches are selected and kept.

This sweet tasting variety delivers an uplifting mixture of mind and body buzz that can be energizing and profoundly psychedelic. The celebrity match contributes stellar qualities to the buzz; however, the Diesel parentage creates a sense of brain acceleration and the Sensi Star makes the high come on fast and strong, so some pacing may be advisable. As long as it isn’t overdone, the result should be a giddy animation, which could be harnessed to complete routine chores around the house or to enjoy with friends for a night out on the town.

Thanks,

I got a few PM's of people not so happy I was doing Big B's test grow after I was doing Geisha so I shined on sending my addy to DG for it, so I'm not even gonna try for this one. but best of luck to you all that get them. I also had to delete those PM's so I would not get pissed off every time I saw them

[abirdintheair]

you shouldnt get mad at that zoo, you should bask in it like its an artesian well its obvious to anyone your grows are on point 100%, so a test done by you of course is gonna shine, and when you shine, people get jealous and envious

[Dutchgrown]

zoo..don't let it ruffle your feathers...there are members who repeatedly are selected as test growers because they 1) actually follow through with the grow; 2) meet and often times surpass the requirements; 3) keep a grow thread updated and current; 4) did not apply just to get some free seeds and drop the ball after they received them; just to name a 'few' reasons....so if you are interested, gotta throw your hat in the ring.

Hey dutch or ed wanna get me in on this one Id love to rock some super star.... I know I coulod put on one hell of a show...

damn, I'd really like to take a shot with some of Delta's Sensi genes, but I can't dedicate that much space to one strain at this point. It'll be good to see some grows of their wares though. Good luck to the future testers.

[est1977]

i hope i get picked let me rep for the ladies Dutch

[bigbrokush]

At this time I'm down to do a test grow!!!!

[Dutchgrown]

The following members have been selected to test grow, and will need to pm shipping info to me to have the test pack selected for you sent out:

abirdintheair
puffpuffpass
Wunderkind
Retardo Motabon
MOneYMiKe
est1977

There are still a few test packs remaining, so if you are interested and meet the qualifications noted in my post (post #1), you must follow the instructions of that post and send a pm.

If you submitted an application by pm already and do not see your member nic listed above in this post, that means you have not been selected this time, nothing in this should be construed to mean you are not a good grower, just that for one reason or another you did not meet the requirements for this particular test grow....mostly would have to do with the lack of 100 GROW RELATED posts.

Thank you to all those who took the time to apply, and for those seeing this perhaps for the first time, go ahead and apply if you are so inclined, there's a few test packs remaining for this.

Thanks!
