You can ALWAYS get any RSC selection from Kwik Seeds, that's why Angus did that. Angus specializes in So. East Asian stuff but has formidable middle eastern genetics.

Just remember where your idol Arjan has been everything is completely polluted with his feminzed seed. He has done his absolute best to screw it up for everyone--Support Greenhouse- you don't need landrace just HIS flavor of the month.

Oh, and READ the descriptions from ACE, all of them. See the word "hybrid" or "we mixed" or 'a cross between'. What does that mean to you?

Coastal Seeds, Kagyu is a legend in the landrace game. He did a great interview on the Potcast.
I can't attest to landrace purity of what I've grown, but I recently did Coastal's Oaxacan x Columbian. One plant, and I won't go into my troubles with the grow as they were my own making, but the smoke is beautiful. 5 minutes in I have permagrin. I probably took it down a week or two before I really wanted to due to a situation, but I am not disappointed by it at all. I like it so much that I re-vegged it to take some clones. I would buy these beans again in a heartbeat. It really does remind me of the high from my younger days.

Nice!

I have that and the BSHW x Colombian from them,

Have you seen Authentic Genetics? I haven't bought from them, but their selection of old school stuff looks interesting.

Is he selling acapulco gold ? I know reeferman/charles managed to get sams acapulco gold off him but he sold it as a seedline that had been stablaized with his northern lights highland nepalese much like ace do alot of theirs, so it wasnt pure. Has anyone got acapulco gold off tod ?

Most of kagus stuff is the old bco collection and american heirlooms, him, bodi, snowhigh and kiona work together. Some of the stuff you can find other places for cheeper if you look

Agreed their funny guys. Charge a packet for a packet too, wen they are getting sack of seeds for peanuts. Another crew who see those from the western world as dollar signs and are out on a get rich sceme fast mission.

was told the chemical composition of old school landrace strains that were good for hash back in the day is quite different from the home grown strains of today

i understand breeding has changed quite a bit are the old school strains still in existence or extremely difficult to source

Todays strains just aint cutting it for me
If your looking for hash making landrace types theres a company called afghan collection seeds avalable at most major seedbanks, i think attitude have them listed. Loads of diffrent hash types from across pakistan, afganistan and all the hindu kush reigion. Have a look, not too badly priced either.

Hopefully it is different from the Bodhi / Mass Medical stock if they do.

I have 10 68 x 72 AG from Snowhighs Purple /Gold going right now, not direct from Snowhigh, but a reproduction i traded someone here for, that came from Overgrow.

The research i did on the 68 x 72 is definitely different than what comes out of the Bodhi stock.

Thanks, try and put some snaps up of it if you can please, or link me to a thread with pics. It would be cool to get the one sam holds as ive seen it pure and i know its the proper acapulco gold, its potent too and a proper stabalized ibl. Unfortunatly its very hard to get that one in pure form, but its the best acapulco gold ive seen thats still alive.

They are still quite small and young, less than 2 weeks, you can tell these will be massive plants grown from seed, which is the same thing i saw in the thread when i was researching. I started all these to run the clones of each,and not have to dedicate so much space flowering however many females i end up with.

Nice!

I have that and the BSHW x Colombian from them,
Oooo.... I've got a pack of that too. Have you sprouted any of them yet? I haven't, but plan to in the near future. The Oax x Col has been curing for about a month or so and smells so nice, fresh, a little south of the border, slightly skunky and takes me back to the early 80's ... took one too many hits at it last night and got a little nervous anxiety for about 20 minutes and had to walk it off. Once I made it through that and came down from the stratosphere it was really comfortable.

Nice! I haven't ran anything from Coastal yet, have had the seeds since this Summer. I've been running a lot of Ace and SnowHigh, now I'm starting to run a lot of sativa or mostly sativa crosses i made. Really starting to lean into the Old Timer Haze crosses.

Sounds like i need to work the Oaxacan x Colombian in. I just started some Destroyer, so I'll probably wait until i rerun whichever one or two females i pick to hit with the pollen.

Awesome! Destroyer is one I'd like to try one day. I just cracked some of Ace's Purple haze x Malawi. They're old, I didn't keep them very well and I can't believe they all came up. We'll see if I can keep 'em alive. Hopefully I'll have a few clones of oaxacan in case I can't. Sounds like you've got a fun project going on.
 
I have been actively growing Oaxacan gold from for the last year. Here is my current grow. Also have another 1 gallon filled out clones two of each plant In the grow. And could make more if there was interest. Super heat and mold resilient and super vigorous does eat and drink a lot also it avg 16 weeks in flower but can go to 20 so you need to carry more nitrogen into flower than you usually would especially using organics. These are all grown with terp tea grow/bloom/bloom plus I think the bloom plus benefits this plant a lot as of flowers so long and the bloom plus is for late flower specifically. I’ll include some pics7B8BB044-D392-45BA-8FE2-AAC78E6B4BAA.jpegIMG_1935.jpegIMG_1885.jpeg1F9523F4-2A6A-4BF0-A3B4-4739D4B20D9B.jpegIMG_1832.jpeg

Thats a good one, keep it safe. I know from most of the old Oaxaca seed going around that you can buy thats one of the better ones, and its not contaminated like most are. Its almost as potent as my Oaxaca and thats saying something, so keep her safe.
Im suprised yours eat so much, ive got two separate different mexicans and neither like any type of feed. Mine usually I can grow from start to finish with just water in plain soil. I might depending on plant give a bit of pk twice in bloom but they normally dont like any fertilizer. Mine yield really low anyway and it gets even worse when ever ive tried to feed them. But ive found some very very potent plants in mine.
Have you managed to find good stable males in yours ? Its hard work finding males at in mine. In about 15 years out of say 20 seeds ive only found 3. So they are hard work to maintain. Get very tall very very quickly too. If growing them indoors I have to grow them side ways and then kind of spiral them round, they bloody dont even start growing true leaves from seed until they are almost a foot and a half tall. But good smoke. Hope you enjoy the one you have, a good Oaxaca can be great.
