Agreed, new Mandala's Satori seeds do not look the same as the original stock. Still have four left from the original pack(2010/11), thought to get a new pack and cross them. Turns out the older seeds have a darker appearance with tiger stripes. The newer pack's seeds(not popped yet) look bigger and have an overall light brown color to them. Am still interested in doing side by side...when space/time allows for it.

F2 if you can! I’d certainly appreciate it…

thanks for the heads up. Seems to be a general consensus

The dark husk on seeds (tiger stripes) comes off, it’s a thin outer husk.

Yes they do~ will post pix to show example of size and color diff.

Mandala does a lot of background work that he doesn’t always talk about, he does traditional line breeding though.

Here they are next to each other.

I grew Hashberry, Mandala#1, Ganesh and Kalichakra back around 07 or 08. Hashberry was great campfire weed, sit around with friends and just laugh and have a good time. Beautiful structure and some of the densest flowers I have encountered. Mandala #1 did great outside and had a very unique taste. Ganesh was decent and I can't really say anything negative about it, but I preferred the Hashberry. Kalichakra was also nice, but looking back I know now I didn't let it go near long enough. I wouldn't hesitate to have Mandala in my garden again, but I'm all set with overseas orders these days.

A couple little nugs with a few beans inside. The Jelly delicious has the strongest scents in the tent so far. MAC crasher bx1 and Cement Shoes are battling it out for most colorful. Just dropped temps a bit so a wee bit more color should come on. These are on 33 days from flip.
first pic is Jelly delicious from Clearwater. Wicked berries incense Intoxicating scent. This pheno is different than the one I ran outdoors this last summer. This has more funk where as my outdoor was pure fruit terps. That said this run is with different organic feeding regiment.
A little MAC crasher bx1 fem that has stayed green while the other 2 are colored up more.

I had their Kristalica in Amsterdam. I've wanted their genetics ever since. Great stuff.

I just received today a pack of the new 8 Mile high..mandala shop says its from a rare pheno..I've grown 8 mile many years and have done at least 4 chucks with the best female to the best male with the 8 mile high..after finding a beautiful female I'll run clone off her for a couple years and pop a new batch of about 30 and start over throwing the old clone in the chuck tent with the new keeper...I always pick the same pheno..The smell I could pick blindfolded.. Crazy menthol minty chemical type odor like no other strain I've ever smelled..roughly a 10 weeker..longer thin leaves and very sativa Dom...makes your mood just burst happiness... Lots of energy and zero negative ANYTHING... Can't wait to pop this new pack...FYI..first time I ordered direct from mandala shop..absolutely no issue and quick delivery with tracking..Heading right back over there for some various packs after I piss my wallet off over at DC seed exchange

Topanga lemon x SSH unknown moms seed pop over at the buddies spot. I took clones of the one with the petiole flowers and the super stretcher up front. That one reeks like lemon heads

So i have another trifoliate, no big deal..but it got me thinking. Ok what if we crossed trifoliates? ...dude can we stabilize this lol?

Couple bud shots of blackberry wedding cake ..Has more of a sour smell, smells loud as hell. Thanks for the beans @Bobby schmeckle

Bit late to the party but I got 5 Honey Sundaes up and 3 DUM X DCP in cubes.

Got some seeds in the oven now, used a Breath Ray (Sun Maiden x Gratefulbreathf2) male. He is imo Sun Maiden dominant, smells like fuel & Grape Stomper. The females smell sweeter like grape candy. I'm satisfied with the male but will hunt for better females, hoping for a Sun Maiden pheno like I had in past. Hit the male to the following:

Gmo x Mai Tai
T1000 x TK
Georgia Pie x Horchata
Kushmints x Blue Power
Louis XIII S1

After this batch of seeds I'm working on Seed Junky Animal Mints BX f2's. Ended up with 5 females and 1 male lol The male is solid though, good enough for preservation purposes!

Ak bean brains Blueberry x strawberries n Cream from exotic genetics created the 'Blue Cream' this is a BC male that absolutely reeks like strawberry syrup. Nice resin heads on him too

The chunky sour pheno of limonene queen cleaned up right before coming down and hung to dry. She reeks, lime green sour chunky buds, looking forward to sampling. Never took any good pics of her unfortunately

MAC crasher bx1 full of beans. The purple pheno didn't need low temps to color up. These were created by Kropduster on Strainly. These will be the f2's and I will work for a few future generations.

The tart berry pheno of limonene queen, any day now, just holding off hoping it fattens up more, not going to yield well at all, so hope the quality is there. Lost almost all it's tart/sour smell, sweet berries now, and I'll stop posting about them lol, sorry been blowing this thread up

White Truffle S1 #1 - I've two tops like this and two normal on one plant, is it a whorlled phylotaxy ?

Couldn't get a decent pic of it, double headed bud.

White Truffle S1 #6 x Rainbow Milk #5


Used 3 males this run, Urinal Cake #6, Rainbow Milk #5 and Adhesive x Nepoji #4

The pollen from the Urinal Cake #6 was from last run. Once the pollen was dried it was stored in an air tight glass via stored in the cupboard (cool, below 16c). Its looking like some of it has taken and some its not.

Rainbow Milk and Ad x Np pollen was fresh from the plant, dropped onto parchment and straight onto pistols. I'm confident with the Rainbow Milk crosses but not sure on the Ad x Np. I only used the Ad x Np on one plant, the bud was incredibly tight with hardly any visible pistols. Its not looking hopeful but I've a rooted clone of the Ad x Np so I can try again later.

Desperate to pop the seeds I made last run but its looking like I may have to shut down flowering for a while as the landlord wants the roof inspecting. We've had a couple of leaks, lining looks like it needs replacing, probably down for a while.
