)."Oh shit Weaselcracker I havnt laughed so hard in a while... You just described my last few times smoking, the only thing missing was " Oh crap how do I get home, I don't recognise any of these streets"( yet I drove them for years). Ya, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Well o.k. you are not the first to recommend a Sativa so I definitely will start looking at all Sativa's for my next grow. I'm 54 and back in the late 70s and early 80s is when I had fun smoking but I never made the connection either. I'll be honest, I havnt smoked in over 20 years, so I know I'll have to go easy, but I just don't want to take anymore pills to help my mind well let's just say ease out. Going to the veterans hospital for anything related to the mind is just asking for a handful of pills( and not the good ones either). That leaning tiger Thai strain you mentioned, where are they available? Hopefully they send to the states. Thanks for your recommendations, and the laugh.
. It's pretty much the holy grail high I'm looking for these days.So tell me Jackalope, which Indica's are you finding to be worthy of being couch locked. What are some of your favorites.
Hey Weaselcracker, thanks very much, I found Ace seeds and it looks as though they do ship to the states, and I found the Golden Tiger. As soon as I get paid next month I'm buying some of those beans. I can't waitWhoops got busy and forgot I'd meant to get back and answer your question.
The Golden Tiger is from Ace Seeds. They breed some great strains- specializing in landraces Landrace Strains: What Are They And Why Are They Important? as well as some strains they've bred from killer landrace selections. Lots of great sativas.
The Golden Tiger was made from a female Thai pollinated by a male Malawi. But they've reworked the strain a bunch of times. Also it has a few natural phenotypes or variations.
The first one I grew was a lot like Thai bud. That's what I meant by Thai leaning. It smelt like Thai and the high was a happy Thai buzz- only better. I smoked it all
Then I grew three more GTs from a different Ace seed batch and they were all more like Malawi. Good but a little too speedy for what I wanted.
When I grew that first GT I pollinated it with a Thai strain I had growing at the time called Thai Stick. At least I'm 90% sure it was the TS that pollinated it- there was some other pollen flying around at the time.
Anyway I grew one of those seeds, harvested that plant a while back, and it's much closer to what I'm looking for- though I got ill and left it flowering two weeks longer than I normally would have- so maybe that's why it's just a little more spacy than I'd like. I put two more in to sprout. The quest continues...
Take a look through Ace's stuff and see if anything catches your eye. There's also a 420 sponsor called Canna Pot that has some good strains.
If you can find a good Thai strain you're probably off to a good start. Thai bud is a fairly uniform strain. The plant varies surprisingly little around different parts of Thailand, and is generally an uplifting happy buzz without too much speediness. Or look for an uplifting and happy sounding Thai cross- may be easier to find than a pure Thai and possibly even better.
Yes Seedman does have MamaThai, but only in regular. Once I get a little better at growing and figure out what to do I'd mlike to try some regulars. Thanks for all your ideas, and everyone else that gave their thoughts, I appreciate it very much. I think at this point I just need to grow a few different strains and see which ones agree with .
