=== STRAINS ==============

LA Confidential
I had a hard time picking out this seasons strains... but it all started last winter. I asked my friend a unique question of -- 'if you could pick any strain to be, what would you choose'. I've never heard of the strain I'm growing up until she said "L.A Confidential". The best of the best, amazing, and unique.

Pure Afgan
KUSH!!!!!! I've also always fantasized of growing a pure strain -- something about it just appeals to my brain about a "pure" strain; genetically unaltered by man-kinds ever steady hybridization of genetics. I'll eventually grow a pure Cannabis Sativa ( Laotian, Thai, Cambodian, etc ), but this summer I've chosen a pure afghan, unaltered genetics straight from Mazari Sherif region of Pakistan-Afghanistan.

seed bank
I purchased my seeds from attitude (without their gaurenteed stealth, and I'm in the USA), and to my excitement they arrived in 9 days. . My order was expensive for what I got, around $175 for two strains! Since It was so expensive.. I qualified for all of attitudes free seed packs, and I also chose to germinate the single White Widow fem seed.

May 18th Photos:

In their first few weeks of growing, when all of the plants were like 6" tall, I topped all of them to produce 2-4 colas, and I took the tops of them and turned them into clones so I can evaluate the best female for a mother, and the best male for creating seeds.
