Mexican Brick Weed Seeds

Have any of you ever tried growing out some seeds from some Mexican brick weed?? I've just germinated 9 seeds successfully and have put them in some premi soil in 16 oz party cups inside my little grow box.

Seeing that this stuff is grown for commercial purposes, don't you think it would be logical for it to be a good yielder?? You know that stuff probably looks pretty decent before the cartel gets their slimy hands on it.

I've grown out some brick weed seeds before and they looked/smoked like they were almost 100% indica every single time. When I see the first couple sets of real leafs, I'll be able to tell you if it looks like another 100% indica strain or not.

Has anyone else had experience growing out seeds from this stuff?? What did you end up getting? More Indica, more sativa, yields, potency?? I'm just wondering, because this is basically how I, and I bet, a lot of other people started growing weed. Let me hear your experiences.

Before I ever started growing, I thought it would be a mexican sativa-type usually. However, I've NEVER seen a sativa dominant plant from this really commercial stuff. From my experience, these plants put out some really good yields as well, if treated properly. This is kind of like a national past-time for many. I'd just like to hear other people's experiences growing out the infamous mexican brick seeds.

Interesting. I've never seen a sativa dominant one. I've grown brick weed seeds 4 times, this will be my 5th. Its all a crapshoot I guess, but the things were free, so I'm not going to complain. It seems like sativa's would do better in a hot mexican climate as well. Where else does this brick weed come from?? I'd love to get something like sweet grape fruit and skunk, even if it does take a while to flower. The ones I have grown had some of the fattest, most indica looking leaves I've ever seen. Maybe its coming from somewhere else besides Mexico, but there is really no way to tell.

I live out in the country in NC. Not too far from Raleigh. I doubt that helps any on where this stuff actually comes from. The beans I'm starting now came from a bag my dealer gave me for free. It was like a half ounce and everytime I touched the bud, seeds would just come pouring out. I did smoke the stuff and it actually wasn't that bad, especially since it was free.
 
In AZ if it aint from cali its from mexico so its either real bad or real good. I will only plant the cali seeds but i have like over 200 mexican seeds that i have never really thought of planting i may give it a try to see what i would get

back a few decades the mex weed cartel purchased many pounds of pedigree seed and spread them out into there fields , they have watered down any Acapulco ,or Colombian true sativa's yet they still have the balls to grow into some bad as smoke if you have the space and time to care for the seeds....rob

dude im growing qwerkle and blue widow and white widow but i threw in a bagseed from some crappy mexican swag just to see what happens and compare. so far it looks incredible and like you said it has the biggest fan leafs i have ever seen. one is so wide that one of its fingers can cover my hand almost. i figured they would be indica dominant considering its from commercial growers who dont even pull out the males. probably should be heavy yielding and fast flowering to make a commercial grower happy.

Where'd you hear about this Robert? When you say top pedigree seeds are you referring to bulk shipments from actual seed banks or other manufacturers? I really wonder about these genetics. They have to be growing seeds that put out a lot of weight, because that is the entire purpose. Some of those seeds I've grown out in the past were a very good smoke. Not like seeds you'd get from Cali, but still worth the time imo.

rzza....yeah that has been my experience with the stuff. I think its an under-utilized source of decent, great yielding seeds if you ask me. In the end, its nice to say to people you have some white widow, etc, but if you can get huge yields off of free seeds, then go for it. The smoke is usually very good if taken care of properly. In the end, yield and quality of the smoke is about all I care about anyways.

rzza, have you sexed that plant yet? Here's hoping its a female. Do you have it outside or inside?? Outdoors, I wouldn't be surprised if you pulled nearly a lb off of some of these commercial seeds, if they are given adequate soil and good care. Good luck.

Post once wow. I used to live in Tucson and we would get Mexican bricks all the time. MOST of the time when you grow the seeds yourself (in my experiance) the weed turns out better if not completely night/day from product originally recieved. The reasons could be, or a combination of, the following: How its handled, you guys (and girls) know THC starts to degrade when its not handled delicately (is there an "e" in that?) trichromes burst are brushed off. I've even heard "rumors" that people would brick it up using "Coca-Cola" that is second hand info though. Also if it is real Mexican theres no telling how far south it came from (or if its even "Mexican" or from further south) the trip alone can degrade the product. And whos to say it was grown properly? There was a High Times article by Jorge Cervantez in the "Global Grow 2010" about growers for the Mexican Mafia this year and they said they vary the nutrient by whos on duty that day. Crops are prone to weather, drought, floods, and huge temperature fluctuations. Growing in a controlled enviroment IE indoors/in a backyard, by somebody who knows the specifics of what this plant (or if its a second gen grow, the strain) needs is obviously going to produce a superior product.

Sorry for the multiple posts lol. I can say from experience that my finished product was LIGHT YEARS ahead of the schwag I got the seeds from. They'd try to compress 100lbs in that back pack in your avatar Thrash. Another HUGE difference between the brick weed and what you grow, is you'll cull all the males. When a plant is pollinated by a male it puts most of its energy into producing seeds and the production of THC almost ceases. I'd love to see some pics of what the brick weed looked like before they were cut down and rolled over by a bulldozer.

The best weed i ever had was just some Mexi bagseed i grew. It all i usualy grow.
Better than any kind buds or hashes ive had in my 25 yrs smoking.
My Mexi bag seed are way healthyer more vigorous plants than my ak48 orNl at 2 monthes lol
An mexican budz are mostly indica here , I got some purple mexi seeds going this year.

I fully expect the mexi senioritas to be more potent an yeild more than the kind buds.
They are my choice for outdoors.

Thrash, I had a feeling something was up with that bookbag. Looks like the thing is bulging. Scarhole, I hear ya on the mexican bag weed. Its right up there with the premi seeds I've grown. Just take care of them and they will usually give you a massive yield.

just gotta comment on the mexi bagseed. I started growing less than a year ago. when i started i would take a few seeds out of every stash and germ them. All were brick weed. some better than others. Then i had these fat mature seeds out of a bag i got that was GARBAGE. Brown stinky GOD AWFUL SHIT that i didn't even smoke. The fucking plant they grew was an amazing. Huge colas. I ended up having to cut it more than a month before it was done, and it still yielded about three times the amount of my other plants. I just wish i had cloned it so i could see how much i would've harvested if it had grown to full maturity.
