uk clone only! (and british bred strains)

[funkymonkey]

I agree eddie, it's all confusing.

That Black Kush looks like a big yielder, how long does she take? How did it get the name Black Kush?

 

[shafty420]

Master Kush (originally bred by Arjan) on the other hand is a Pashtun in spirit if not in direct geography plant.

peace

didnt know ghs did a master kush only ever seen stuff like bubba kush kings kush etc

 

[ChaosCatalunya]

i'd always lumped Afghani/kush/indica in the same catagory. Are there any indicas that are not Kushes or Kush Xs? What is the difference between Kush and Afghani?

they've got a saying in S Bristol, 'If it's not Kush it's bush'. As a sat lover i find that depressing

Black Kush

It is pretty complicated, but to simplify ...

The Hindu Kush mountain range is in N Pakistan and the South half of Afghanistan.

Non Hindu Kush Afghani is Cannabis Indica
Hindu Kush weed is Cannabis Afghanica

Indica is the tall rangy Afghani, Afghanica is the short squat landrace Kush.

As there are no clear borders between these areas, there is a lot of blurring between the types, before they got a bit mixed up by us lot... Marijuana Botany goes into it at length.

Critical Mass is only 25% Afghan, 75% Skunk, White Widow has no Afghan/Kush in it, Free Tibet is only 25% Afghan. No way can you call a polyhybrid like that a 'Kush'

You've confused yourself with hate again,, Painted Lady is from 2009,, not 2010 when we worked with Kush plants. .. we've never called Painted Lady a 'Kush',, only you did. lmfao

didnt know ghs did a master kush only ever seen stuff like bubba kush kings kush etc

Master Kush was Arjan's first strain,, before he set up Green House coffeeshops and seed company

Hope this helps

The Hindu Kush spans the north/east part of Afghanistan buddy and the NWFP of Pakistan north/west

South Afghanistan sits in the Indus Valley.

here's my Blueberry cut at 6 1/2 weeks. ive kept it for 2 years plus and shared it so i think it counts as a clone only - especially given the variable nature of Bb

interesting, so the maple leaf indica, which is pretty tall and stretchy is an indica whereas ya hashplants are kush. t
thanks

FM-the Bristol Kush takes around 10wks to finish-of course alot cut it down at 8. I've known hardcore types growing organic in compost leave it until 12. It is 'Black' because it can go dark purple and show pink pistils-temps can cause this but i've also seen it in normal/warm rooms.

CC-tx for the MBotany ref. I've read it about 33times and can only remember a couple of paragraphs
nice Blueberry VG, i'd take that over a Kush any day
cheers

Not hard to get confused when you spout so much crap.

Stop making this stupid claim about Arjan and Master Kush, Arjan has never bred anything, he isn't even a grower, watching any of the GHS grow vids makes that clear. Don't bother quoting that Soft Secrets article where Arjan says he bred Master Kush, like all Arjan interviews, it's complete BS. Master Kush was bred by Shantibaba, not Arjan.

All the best Shantibaba

On the Kush/Afghan thing, the lowland short, squat types like Bubba Kush, Deep Chunk etc. are not landraces, they are farmed lines maintained by man over centuries. The landraces of Afghanistan are taller, thinner leaves, more like the Central Asia types, Vavilov and Clarke wrote about the landraces, there aren't many examples on the market today of these types, Mazar-i-Sharif from Real Seed Co would be one example.

 

[theherbalizor]

Hey VG that BB looks lush... how does she taste / smell?

 

[Dr. D]

They are still landrace genetics, landrace doesnt mean wild.
Just because they are bred by the farmers doesnt mean they are not landrace just not selected by nature...Peace

 

[funkymonkey]

When I say they aren't landrace, I should have said they aren't indigenous, the 'Afghanica' type indicas are imports from further east, China originally. The indigenous landraces are the highland taller, more sativa types.

 

[VerdantGreen]

Hey VG that BB looks lush... how does she taste / smell?

hey herb thanks, she does taste/smell of blueberry - but there is a riot of other smells/tastes as well. floral,skunky,sweet hashy.
the smell is also incredibly strong - especially after the plants have been cut and dried.

 

[theherbalizor]

sounds lovely.

I remember back in the day I picked up a bar of Blueberry. Never seen anything like it since. Can not remember the bud structure really but the smell was like pure blueberry jam. I had it stashed under my bed and it reaked the whole communal flat hallway out of skunky berries.

This was a good 15+ years ago. Everything Berry since I have found to be very earthy and not really that much of a stinker.... perhaps our paths will cross one day...

 

[funkymonkey]

It sounds a lot like the keeper BB I had, which had an immense floral smell with a ton of other notes.

 

[VerdantGreen]

yeah it's a good'n. tends to foxtail later in flower, even under very low N. if you check the pics in my grow diary im flowering out a Lemon Thai atm (which i reckon is thai x afghan originally) the two plants look almost identical although taste,smell and high are different.
i think my blueberry leans heavily to the thai side without as much oaxican influence. but it's the only Bb ive ever grown so what would i know

 

[cheesey]
