SAGE from TH Seeds

Anyone grew it? Is it worth it? Looking for tips, does it grow like a typical sativa? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have never grown it, but i would think it would grow more like a typical hybrid being that's what sage stands for, sativa, afghani equal genetics equal something another, lol..
i've been interested in this one as well and it seems a few breeders use it in hybrids of their own as well..

i grew mk ultra from th seeds and it was bomb diggity..

I've grown Heavy Duty Fruity from THSeeds, as a freebie, and turned out to be the most spectacular plant (mine was a pinkish pheno) in the collection, great balanced potent smoke. Never grown SAGE but looks like a classic..

Not sure if I should go with it or Kali Mist. Never ran either one.

..or even Sage'n'Sour, yummy!

yah, sage and sour sounds very nice as well imo..

i wouldn't really compare sage with kali mist though as km is pretty sativa dom and sage falls right in the middle of sativa and indica..

Two 420 promos ago at Attitudes they had alot of TH seeds freebies.
I was really looking forward to both SAGE and Kushage.
Neither germed so I am still wanting to try SAGE.
Last 420 promo they gave away MKAGE. Me and my bestfriend both placed orders. My buddies will be harvested Sunday and he is crazy about how it looks and smells. It is the smallest in his flowering box though, so yield doesnt look to be one of its best traits.
I have my MKAGE seed on standby. If it is as good as my friend thinks its going to be, its next on tap.

The 2 heavy duty fruity's I gave to that same friend. One was male, one was female. The female certainly wasnt the pink pheno. It was a fruity tasting skunk plant IMO. Which is solid, dont get me wrong, but not quite what I was looking for.

2 Darkstars were both females that I grew myself. It was average dank at best. Very good yielder though.

I actually scrapped the Burmese Kush freebie. I had 2 plushberry males in that batch and I decided to grow out the males and harvest pollen and got rid of the 1 female.

SAGE is killer, easy to grow. Outside it was a beast, 10 feet tall multi topped fist buds. Sticky, sweet, heavenly! mmmm
As I understand it, the sativa in this cross is big sur holy bud crossed to the afgan dad.
Didn't take pics of that run but it was done by the end of the first week of october, had a heavy duty fruity that run too. The hdf sucked though, I have gotten the "shitty" pheno a couple times on that one.

I love my SAGE and have kept a mother for quite some time now. It grows great and the smoke is outstanding.

I grew some SAGE (sativa afghani genetic ecquillibrium) five years ago. It was above average in potency, a decent yielder, and had a very strong Skunky/poon-y scent. I'll probably save up the freebies from the tude until I get 6 or 8 or they come off as the UFO, and then do a run for a keeper. The darkstars I got were both decent for free, but not high potency enough for me to keep, compared to the strains I ran beside it. The best freebies I have gotten from the tude have been the TGA ones, chernobyl and dairy queen both had killer phenos.

Hey Clankie what do you mean by poon-y? Like pussy? I'm not bagging on you bro, just curious? The girl I had smelt a bit skunky and well hard to describe but not completely unlike many afgans. Maybe a bit of fuel, fruit, and spices?!??!?! I have smelt godbud phenos that smelled like sweaty pussy

Well, I'm a gay guy, but I had pretty enthusiastic lesbian roommates in college, who's bedroom was on the way to the bathroom, and insisted on keeping the door open all the time for the cat (...). So, I guess what I mean is that it smelled like A) skunk and B) a smell that the closest thing I can place to it is the one generated by hours of lesbian sex.

bwhahaha very very funny and true.... lol ie would have to say i have some plants that are very poony right now. WWxbubblegum.

so TH seeds... Mk ultra huh Racerboy? i think i will take a look a them a little more i have been interested in them since they are freebies... but then i look at Dinafems shit genetics and i know why they are freebies.

Obviously being gay didn't obscure your knowing the smell, thanks for qualifying that for me.... Too funny.... hahahahah can't stop laughing..

puff, puff, pass...

back around '05, SAGE was as hot as OG kush and to a lesser extent diesels are today. TH seeds is considered a great breeder fom all i've seen. i had a SAGE freebie, along with 5 other mostly OG stinkers i gave away as i refuse to stink my room up EVER, but i cloned it too early in a rush to get started after neighbor issues fucked my timing up and it didn't root properly. i REALLY wanted kushage which is supposed to be even more sativa dominant. the 10 year giveaway was huge!

there doesn't seem to be a lot of people growing sage as i already asked about it and/or wreckage and got nada for answers. i imagine it being something of a stony mid, but never tried it to verify. if skunk #1 is 75% sativa but still dominated by stone, i wouldn't hold high expectations for a strain whose name literally means mid.

kali mist is a great energetic strain with tons of euphoria, but it takes 17 weeks. it's too bad joey weed C99 & A11 are extinct as well as bodhi's & mosca's at the moment too. C99 is a 45-55 day strain that's similar to kali ist if not quite as racy, but that's a good thing. kali mist is NOT weed you can chill out and watch a movie on or listen to tunes on like i intended. i ended up cleaning house on it. if you need something for work or other activities and want to keep a clear head though, it's awesome.

in between SAGE & kali, check out jack herers and super silver hazes. those will have more psychoactivity and likely be more motivational than SAGE, but easier to chill on than kali mist. for an IBL type high, i like high quality seeds' $28 haze skunk more. it's super potent and long lasting and motivational, but not in a giddy racy way like kali mist as it has traces of afghani stone that balance it out, but even after a month, it doesn't get stony. it gets a little visual at higher doses. that's a stretchy 12 week strain.

TGA's jack's cleaner 2 is my fave strain. it has true visuals, but a warm middy euphoric buzz that's still at least functional with really cool touchy feely effects i've only experienced once before in diesel based onyx. his 3rd dimension and badly named jack the ripper are worth looking into too as is sannies' jack f7 and equally abominably named killing fields. those should be extra trippy.

back to the mid ground, CH9's jack has a lightly stony body thump that stays functional with plenty of euphoria and potency. it's very compact and looks like an indica, but smokes way better if you don't like getting stoned one bit like me. i liked trippier JC2 & sweet haze more, but i vaguely recall it standing out just a little bit in a grow with many more clearheaded motivational "generic hazes". it's sold out at the 'tude i think, but it's a good one to keep your eye open for on the cash cropping end of getting high as it's a quick finisher. it wasn't low odor at all either. i bought a second bean to give it a better test without it being overshadowed by gear that goes higher.

if you do get SAGE, please do share your experience with it. it should be reported on more. i've really been interested in wreckage as it sounds like a nice cross of 2 "top strains" and potentially more motivational. i would really be surprised if SAGE sucked having won at least one cannabis cup, though that doesn't mean a lot.

SAGE is a freebie at the Tude now just select reg's for your freebies.

growing mk ultra and sage now, the sage mother is looking gnarly and the clones have all rooted from this plant. i havent smoked a but itll be done soon and smells pretty fire.

Man, hazey it's obvious that your not a complete retard but the way you present yourself as a point of authority is somewhat offensive when people believe and accept your version of things. It is obvious your just making mental gymnastics in your presentation of what you have read about. Don't take this as an insult, honestly you should just watch how you present yourself and I promise you will see less push back.
I don't want to dissect the whole post it's too long but I will give you an example of what I am saying, you said that you gave away your SAGE for fear of skunky smells along with your "mostly og" for fear of the same right?! Then you go on to say you WANT kushage because it's more sativa influenced! The makeup of kushage is OG KUSH x SAGE! This is a complete contradiction, now someone with no knowledge of the topic reads your post and thinks how knowledgeable you come off while your statements are rhetorical and cyclic in nature. Like a mental masturbation, complete fallacy(**ok, not complete but peppered). Again, I am not trying to wound you in this I am seeking a better presentation of the facts. You obviously spend a lot of time reading on the topic, I respect that.

He says he has never grown/smoked SAGE but then goes on to say...
