INVESTIGATORS SEIZE THREE LEAFED CANNABIS PLANTS
IN BEEKMANTOWN, NEW YORK [From the NDIC Narcotics Digest Weekly 2004;3(37):2 Unclassified, Reprinted with Permission.] On August 24, 2004, investigators from the Adirondack Drug Task Force seized 13 cannabis plants that had three fingered leaves instead of the traditional five. Investigators found the plants in a Beekmantown (Clinton County) field growing in crates that were concealed among blackberry bushes. The plants were approximately 4 feet tall, and buds were developing on many of the plants. Investigators found the plants after an individual provided them with a tip. No arrests were made at the time of the seizure, and the plants have not been analyzed in a laboratory. Task force investigators report that over the past 3 to 4 years there have been several seizures in Clinton County of three fingered leaf cannabis plants as well as one seizure of single fingered leaf cannabis plants. Agencies participating in the Adirondack Drug Task Force include the Clinton County Sheriff's Department, Plattsburgh Police Department, New York State Police, DEA, and U.S. Border Patrol (USBP).
NDIC Comment: Traditionally, cannabis plants are thought of as having five leaves; however, the number of leaves on a cannabis plant can vary (although it usually has an odd number of leaves such as three or seven). This seizure follows a widely publicized April 2004 seizure of four immature cannabis plants with three fingered leaves from an indoor grow in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The plants seized in Thunder Bay were atypical in appearance, however, having twig like stalks and broad, rounded leaves, which led to reports of the discovery of a new strain of cannabis. What may be more likely in both of these seizures is that it is an unintentional occurrence of whorled phyllotaxy. In botany, leaf phyllotaxy describes how leaves are arranged on a stem and in relation to one another. Whorled phyllotaxy means three or more leaves at one node of a stem. Information gained through online canvassing reveals that this may be a somewhat common occurrence when growing cannabis. The limited information also suggests that whorled phyllotaxy occurred in plants cultivated from clones of normal plants, and many incidents involved indica varieties, which typically have broader leaves than sativa varieties. Whether whorled phyllotaxy has an effect on plant yield or potency is uncertain. Some growers hopefully suggest that the THC levels of such plants will be higher, while others report that this leaf arrangement previously manifested in plants found to be inferior or male (no buds). The plants seized in Thunder Bay had not yet developed buds and tested at only 1.8 to 2.6 percent THC. DEA Resources, Microgram, October 2004 |

Hey man ^. I live in the same area as well south of plattsburgh, and there has been ducksfoot clones going around for years around here. I havent grown it, but i know alot of people who do. Its most deff. a ducks foot clone.
If you can ever get your hands on some adirondack gold, or Black diamond, do it! The diamond finishes real early at end of august up here, with at least a qp a plant from what ive heard. |

i grew up in beekmantown and have been saying for years that upstate ny has a duckfoot (originally called batleaf) plant that has been around for alot alot longer than wally duck
not to say anything bad about him, but everyone always said that it was him that "created" this plant strange since i remember my father having the clones years ago and my first grows 15 years ago were duckfoot and diesel (another clone only) too funny to see the adtf thing! reading the article makes me laugh - the only way those guys can find a thing is when they "get a tip" |

wow hey guys!
I also live in the adirondacks and have for about 7 years, small world. My question is what the hell happened to the Adirondack Gold??? That stuff was the best ever! I have been smoking for many, many years and that is still my all time favorite. But alas it became harder and harder for my guy to get it on a regular basis. in like 2000-2003 I was getting it for 240 an ounce at one point! Eventually it got even more scarce as it got more popular and he just found another connection of good but not as-good stuff and the ADK gold just went away. sucks. ![]() Rumor had it at the time that there was only one major semi comercial grower as the supply for just about everyone, except the few fans who were growing their personal stashes outdoor. Then that main supply line got into the hands of a circle of NYC celebs, musicians, with the $$$ for pounds and we kinda got priced out . One of the people was rumored to be Clarence Clemons saxaphone player from Bruce Springsteins E-street band. -Hilarious I know, but almost too random not to be true. Then near the end the only other ppl who had it were getting it from a closet source mother plant that must have gotten stressed then gave a bad clone that became the replacement mother. (Sounds nuts but I have heard of this before not necessarily true but what ev this is what I know). So then their were two types of the Gold around both were TOTALLY awesome and clearly, without a doubt, of the same genentics just one -the original. was better. The other new mutant kind was called "the outdoor" even when ppl grew it inside. Just to disinguish. Everyone in the scene knew about the reversion of the clone stock , but it was still waaaay better then anything out there. Of course I always wondered if it was just some other strain grown locally under a psudonym, but the thing is, throughout the years ive smoked many dutch strains (grown right) and they come close... but clearly not as good as the old ADK GOLD. I take that back: actually from my experience most really good weed comes nowhere near the quality of the Adirondack Gold. Taste: Skunk/Burning Rubber. Hits you very strongly instantly on the exhale Great stuff for all-night insomniac work or fun. Or Early riser wake-and-bakers. Almost amphetamine in its perking powers. And I never that over-smoked feeling -and trust me I over smoked! If you know anything about this strain please, please let me know. I'm not even interested in obtaining the cultivar anymore -well maybe I am! lol But seriously I just want to know what the deal was with this top notch shit I remember from back in the day? Everything about it was just super quality. Taste, stone, Density, burn consistancy, SMELL!, stone, and did i mention taste? If i did have a clone of this i would personally deliver it to all the major Dutch breeders because I am sure that it was somthing remarkable that i have not seen in any herb sence. At least as unique as Sour Deisel and much better in my opinion. Right now im shopping around via euro mail order and its just so frustrating picking a strain after my memory being spoiled by this awesome cannabis. My dream vacation would be driving to Cali just to get a cooler stocked full of the best true f4 phenos out there. A couple of cool packs in there. Then driving nonstop back to NY with a dozen new green DNA varieties with me. Thats also the only way i could really keep any self made cross breeds accidental ones or intentional seedings. You know if the shit has "papers" pedigree. I trust those breeders and respect the work they do that why mutts really should be avoided. I know ADKG is worthy of its genetics and should be handed over to someone who knows what they are doing. If it still lives... We must find it! BRING BACK THE ADIRONDACK GOLD. If you even remeber smoking this shit you must post! Thanks, I Heart NY |
