World of Seeds Afghan Kush grown until mid October...

[Chartreuse Spruce]

Well, this is my first experience with a landrace. I'm guessing that hybrids are just...better. The plant looked like it was developing way slower than the other breeds in my garden so I was sure to leave some still outside to see what would happen when left to develop a bit longer. The buds that are still out there did not thicken up. But I had to take the majority of the plant at the very first of the month, although I could tell it was not finished, because it was extremely mold prone. The plant is not impressive in the least. Its buds are light and airy and there is very little fragrance to the finished dried bud. It isn't sticky either. The smoke is clean but the high is weak. I don't think this any kind of grower error. I had 4 other strains in the same garden and they were as predictable as always. It also was within a couple of feet from a male and did not get pollinated, just an interesting fact there.

I have ran a couple of WOS freebies and have been less than impressed. Tried their highest priced strain and thought it wasnt worth the time.

Your experience says little to nothing about the strain. You admitted to sub par conditions. Afghanistan is a dry and arid climate. That said - real landraces tend to have good resistance. I'm quite sure WOS is a selected version that has been inbred. In fact I'm pretty sure they claim to have genetically modified their version. I'm not sure how accurate that is.

You're basically complaining about buds that weren't close to finished. You chose a strain not suited to your outdoor environment. Outdoors you really need to find good sources of regional genetics and/or genetics from regions with a similar climate and photoperiod. Afghanistan doesn't automatically = fast flowering genetics either. There's a lot of diversity there. Longer flowering and stretchy as well as squatter and shorter flowering.

I could grow Haze outdoors here and complain when it barely develops but that would be foolish of me and it would be a horrible representation of a strain not suited for my climate at all. I'd have no business shitting on it as a strain because I had no business growing it in the first place (outdoors).

I thought it was pretty terrible tasting indoors.

ummmm, what were my admitted sub par conditions? humid to cause mold? that's not subpar conditions. Other strains in the garden did not have the same problem. The soil is worm shit, ok, and not a drop of tap water because the seasons rain was perfect. Nothing sub par about a damn thing. everyone had mold problems this year. I harvested early and some is still out there. both are just as light and airy. Please excuse my post for not being more clear and SPECIFIC. My 'review' wasn't for the Afghan Kush breed, it was for WOS Afghan Kush so yes, I do realize theirs is something mutated. I'm not complaining about anything. It didn't 'barely develop', it was all but finished. What the fuck! You are really rude.

This is my first experience with a landrace...not my first experience growing. I should have said that I know what I am doing, this aint my first, second, or even third rodeo. I know what a plant should look like and this one aint it.

Growing in an environment not simiksr to where the landrace comes from IS sub par conditions. I believe thats the point that trying to be made. And it was hardly rude...if you think that was bad then you're gonna gave a bad time on these forums mate.

And just for the record, I dont know anything about the strain, good or bad...but I have a freebie that inwas considering, hence my involvemnt in this discussion.

 

[Chartreuse Spruce]

oh I see. sub par, right. and you don't think that was a rude post. whatever. I know EXACTLY how it is around here and its freaking brutal.

 

[OGEvilgenius]

My apologies if my bluntness was misconstrued for rudeness. I wasn't intending to be rude, but humidity is a factor for many varieties. Your others were clearly better suited to deal with it. Anyway it could be legitimately total garbage, I know I had no interest in ever growing it out for a lot of reasons (including some claims about genetic modification).

You also said this, which to me indicates you picked something significantly earlier than you would have liked:

But I had to take the majority of the plant at the very first of the month, although I could tell it was not finished, because it was extremely mold prone.

Don't listen to OGevilgenius, i've been to afghanistan, their weed is sub par, so if it was a true landrace from afghanistan then you got about what was to be expected.

 

[Chartreuse Spruce]

I bought into WOS description of it. So now we know and there you have it! The review. I should have been more descriptive about what the plant looked like when it harvested it. I harvested it all through the whole month of October. That is plenty of time for the plant to develop. I even think that is when the breeder said to start her harvest, so it was enough time.

Well Im not defending it one way or the other... just trying to clarify. And like i said...it wasnt rude. As he came and said for himself, it wasnt meant to be rude...just blunt. and thats exactly how i took it...hence saying it wasnt rude.

what the crap?! that was your first post? why would you do that? obviously you post here all the time under a different handle. what gives?

it does seem a little suspicious doesnt it... hmmm.

 

[Chartreuse Spruce]

All right! it wasn't rude, we don't need to keep wondering if it was or was not rude. I am rude. I am the rude one. I take it all. forgive me!

 

[OGEvilgenius]

No one meant to be rude here, it's all good. Let's smoke one down.

Nah man, thats not it. Im not sayiing you were rude either. You just mistook it for being rude and and reacted accordinly. We all have moments like that. Its all good my friend.

 

[Chartreuse Spruce]

I actually think that is the funniest shit ever when people do that. I am about to be flattered. lol I gotta go smoke my cheese. I think Ill do a review about the cheese next and see if I can get a strict blunt critique of my review there as well. Sorry, couldn't resist. This is a very critical site. I expect it. That is why I am on the defensive here. Because I know what's coming.

GHS Cheese? Kaliman? Buddah? Clone? Do tell.

Damn! I must remember to use winky face emoticons so people will know my tone.
