Good job man.
Nice looking garden, hope it dries well for you.
Do you get the bronze bullet/gold tops and blue meanies there also?
One good day shrooming will change your life
Hello Vlad,
Thanks Bro, yes we got the gold tops here, and I dont have to trespass as its in council land, and i guess the council let the farmer cows in the paddock. Some big cubes in the field, I love Shrooms, and yes they are special. I have heard of subs being found in the mountains of the Gold Coast hinterland.
Hey bro, yeah what you are describing sounds very familiar.
Cannabis history in Australia is very interesting.
During early settlement as you would most likely know Indica seed was bought in and mistakingly planted as hemp crops. Apparently they were still useful for fibre, but proper hemp seed was brought in and the Indica crops were abandoned
Some speculate that is where the Hunter Valley wild crops derived from...but it is of course speculation.
During the 70,s-80,s alot of great weed from P.N.G was coming through QLD, and would make up part of the Aussie genepool.
Mango heads were also a big thing in QLD and N.S.W...anything with a Citrus or fruity flavour or smell became reffered to as Mango.
Redbeard became a thing to......but basically became just a generic name for any weed with mass red pistalls.
So called New Zealand purple head was also a thing during the 80,s....again... probably just a name, as I saw many different varieties from Pure Sats to hybrid Indica/Sativa types.
Alot of different varieties were coming through the N.T to, as alot of weed was smuggled through from PNG and SE Asian Countries.
Australia has an interesting canna history, but peicing it together is hard as most of the older growers from the era are long gone, and most were very secretive about there work.
I'll dig up some old pics from the 80,s of the Main line we were growing in QLD for commercial produ tion...my best guess is it was a mash-up of SE Asian varieties.
Anyway... great chat!
Hi Sensient
Very interesing Bro, i l also fine Australian Canna history very intersting. That was criminal about the hunter valley crop, they kept poison it till it was gone. Redbeard and Mango sound like stains i would have liked to try. The old breeders have retired it not the strains still go on but in secret, who knows. The Nimbin Bush could well be some SE Asian mixed with something.
Hope you can find the pics.
And also Smokey's pics when the plants dried.
The thing I remember about the old type here was the high.
You would get visuals from the sky, or cloud gazing.
But it was pretty twitchy and smiley.
It would keep you awake, and kill hunger and was often aphrodisiac, but a bit socially awkward and not really discreet.
You looked pretty toast.
Carrot, mint and alpine meadow were other old flavours
Hi Vlad, interesting Bro, visuals are alwaays great to experience, Nimbins are pretty good at that. I will try it tonight I have pics Vlad of the bud will post at the bottom of this reply.
Hey all.
It would seem that alot of Aussie bush strains originated from different SE Asian Varietys.
Obviously Thai genetics are involved, but many different strains from All over SE Asia have been bought to Oz over time.
The Vietnam war bought a big influx of different SE Asian Sativa's into Oz, and I would guess these would make a up a large part of the older Aussie Bush strains.
During the early 80,s some Amazing purple Durban came through, it was amazing smoke and alot of growers around the Northern Rivers worked with the line.
There was also very secretive crews who were bringing in geetics from around the world and worked there own lines.
Although Afghan genetics were brought to Oz in the 70,s - Early 80,s...and maybe even before, they were not widespread and didn't really make a commercial appearance till the early 90,s.
It's interesting that people link the "piss" to Dutch genetics...... Many Bush lines left long enough unproperly worked seem to turn to Piss!
Anyway, take it easy guys...S
SE Asian mix maybe some Bro. I mean its like Thai Sticks in a way with long thin leave and bud structure is a bit different. Strange, the 2 plants are similar but bud is different in one slightlyt and smell, but will see once cured. I am growing Durban Poison atm. I wonder if some of the Bush ciruclating has some Indica in it. The 2 nimbins started to flower mid feb, the photo on page one is march 3rd i think.. so a few weeks to ripen it took. Its pretty good stuff circulating through the Northern Rivers. Another good thing about Australia, i dont think other countries may not have such good Bushweed that can be brought on the streets. DMT , havent tried that but i love shrooms though.
Taller Nimbin plant - thin thin leaves, she got done with bugs, so i had to wash the buds. The smaller Nimbin didnt have the bush smell, was slight more skunk. These plants seeds came from purchased bud.
