An illustrated guide to some Cannabis strains

[stinkyattic]

This thread is going to be a bunch of pictures, grow tips, and strain descriptions of some of the strains I have worked with in the past, and still work with today.

If you have pictures of your own, post em up- include the following:
-Non-blurry pics of your plant
-Life stage when the pics were taken
-Any grow tips you have for it
-Smoke report and any medicinal benefits it might have

Cool.:cool:

[stinkyattic]

Old school commercial strain that is still being run in New England. Frosty, outstanding tolerance of abuse, thick leathery leaves, high yield in all types of systems.

Outstanding for anxiety.

[stinkyattic]

There are a few iterations of the Sweet Tooth line from Spice of Life. Shown is a flowering Sweet Tooth #3 that needs a drink, a vegging SWT, and a BlockHead that is re-vegging. It's a high-yielding grapefruit strain and commonly cashcropped.

[stinkyattic]

Afghani x Iranian from Plan B Collective. Anti-insomnia. Crops easily under indoor lighting conditions. Excessively frosty. This is a true hash plant. Sorry I've got no cola shots- they are SPEACTACULAR. Best bag appeal of anything I run, or at least in the top 3, and one of my favorite strains for anxiety. 7 week finish is manageable. Spicy-sweet hashy flavor.

[stinkyattic]

Nirvana Standard. Just a basic Haze with an accelerated finish. Structure is pretty indica and I just don't get excited about this one.

[stinkyattic]

A Toronto commercial strain crossed with an American medical strain (see 'Bogglegum' entry later in thread). True wild blueberry aroma. Beautiful silver buds. Plant is very unruly in shape. I intend to outcross her to my BlueMoonRocks male (the BoggleGum isn't much better for structure and I don't have access to the BlueJay parent) and fix that before line-breeding it to stability.

[stinkyattic]

BOG seeds. Outstanding structure, IMVHO the burliest plant I've run. The leaves are so thick that the edges ruffle up. They are like shoe leather. The main stem is like a tree trunk even on young plants. For bud production it is nothing special, but for breeding sturdiness into an otherwise weak line, it has a ton of potential. Look closely at the pics to see the ruffles. Oooh pretty!

[stinkyattic]

BOG seeds. Very frosty, fruity, and sweet. Good medical strain for pain- it's quite strong. Seems to pass along the surface resination in crosses (see BlueJay x Bogglegum above). I love it!
Shown are various life stages. The last picture is my male.

[stinkyattic]

IR Seeds. A 3-way hybrid of C99, G13, and Northern Lights. Light feeder, fast rooter, super fast and frosty finish, but the best part is the fruity sweet scent. Pineapple while growing, grapefruit and gin when cured. Body effects that are more euphoric than other body stones I've encountered, almost sexual when over-done. The soil-flowering plant shown is the actual individual that placed 4th in the 2008 East Coast Nugs n Jugs competition.

[stinkyattic]

West Coast Seeds. The ones I got are not from WCS; they are an inbred-line derivative from my area (western New England). It's originally a cross of Mighty Mite and a pre-Dutch-era Skunk of some sort. The high is said to be uplifting. I've never smoked it, but a DD x MM backgross I had at a festival last month in Maine was definitely a good solid spicy-skunky flavor and good up high. It has semi-autoflowering traits and finishes Sept15 at 45'N lat. It begins to flower earlier than other strains. I have no flower pics because all the plants were given away to be finished outdoors after I selected a vigorous mother to keep.

[stinkyattic]

FoxySeeds. White Rhino x Yeag's Matanuska Thunderfuck (Kenai line). Strongest weed I have ever smoked. Narcotic. Outstanding for pain and opiate painkiller withdrawl/replacement. Needs some breeding work to get the structure a little better but heck, smoke em if ya got em... Good sweet flavor, calyxes may be pink or striped, adn teh overall appearance of the dried product is a dusty grey-pink-ivory color.

[stinkyattic]

Clone-Only. Massachusetts Super Skunk x Chem D. Painkilling. May go pale bluish-purple. Note the really fat calyxes and how they stack on each other. Has potential to yield quite well. Excellent for pain, and very relaxing.

[stinkyattic]

Mandala Seeds. True hash plant, very tolerant of abuse, grows well under flouros, excessively frosty, ping pong ball nugs, sweet/hash scent, near-pink appearance, excellent for bubblehash. I like it for bag appeal and ease of growth. The leaves are very wide. It makes me sleepy.

[stinkyattic]

Nirvana Standard. This is the best strain I run for nausea. It is easy to grow too. The yield is average and the flavor is average. I plan to work with this line and the BOG SourBubble (also a Kush type) to breed a more flavorful line than the HK with taller stature than the cabbagey SourBubble.

[stinkyattic]

TGA seeds. Space Queen male x Orange Velvet female. Excellent structure- stiff and upright. I prefer to run this one in soil or soilless. The colas are so large that I have had mold problems in hydro where the buds rot from the bottom/inside up. Scent of an orange Julius. Remember those? Long hairs, maroon leaves at harvest. This is my #1 recommendation for Multiple Sclerosis and other degenerative nerve diseases! It is effective against nerve pain and inflammation-related pain.

[stinkyattic]

W-Ma clone only. Originally from a pack of Sensi Super Skunk, discovered in 1986. This is a true roadkill skunk. It is the heaviest cropper I have EVER run. It reeks, feeds heavily, gets big, and is just a very vigorous plant that makes its presence in your garden known. High is perky. So is the plant. So are... ; )

[stinkyattic]

Soldotna AK local line. Phenotypic variation is noted among the beans I have run but all have some commonalities- dark wild grape scent with hints of chocolate, heavy creeper stone with visual effects, long duration of high, ease of growth under artifical lighting. Note in the pictures you can actually see some Ruderalis influence on one pheno, and another has pink hairs and some striped calyxes. The pheno not shown in live form produced the pure plum purple buds shown in the last pic.

[stinkyattic]

I'll get at y'all later with the rest of the alphabet and whatever my stoned ass forgot. So sue me if it ends up all out of order :jointsmile:

[elskeetro]

I'So sue me if it ends up all out of order

You'll be hearing from my lawyer! :jointsmile:

Nice list so far. I'll add the 2 strains i'm running.

1. Northern Lights X Skunk #1: From Toronto420 seedbank.

Decent yield. Responds well to training.
Very dense buds, tight nugs, great bag appeal.
Slightly hashy odor, needs filtering.
Takes some abuse, but doesn't like heavy bloom boosting.
Solid finish in 8 weeks.
soft, perky leaves. Very beautiful at 5 weeks flowering.
Taste, odor, and potency GREATLY improve after 1 week dry, 1 week cure (but keep curing!)
High goes: buzzed - body - laughing - artsy (read, music, be creative at this stage) - stoned - passed out.

Here's some pics at 6 weeks flowering. Could have finished bigger but this batch suffered some root rot towards the end from a high res temp.

i'll be right back with strain #2.
thanks
Skeet.

[WhiskeyTango]

Awesome idea Stinks! Ill add some up later! Sticky?
good vibes
:joint1:

[ARTofMAKINGfire]

What a collection Stinky. No wonder you're always going crazy with 'things' to do! Lot's to keep track of. Good job! :thumbsup:

;)

[stoned88911]

ya man those are some awesome plants.

Are you a big fan of fruity plants? whats ur favorite?


That Matanuska Thunderfuck (Yeag's Kenai MTF) looks very delicious, how much did that strain yield per plant?

[the image reaper]

EDITED:
IR Seeds. A 3-way hybrid of C99, G13, and Northern Lights. Body effects that are more euphoric than other body stones I've encountered, almost sexual when over-done.

I'm glad you said that, I've been too embarrassed to ask anybody else :wtf: ... NCDG always makes me horny :computerlove1: ... definitely going to concentrate on that trait, in future grows ... hell, I already got her name picked out :D

(very good thread idea, Stinky :thumbsup:)

[lunarose]

Those are some of the loveliest buds I have seen. Are they all hydro grows? What kind of light set up do you have?

[trinitybound]

For some reason the Massachusetts Super Skunk looks the best. ;)

[texas grass]

lovely strains and pics:thumbsup:
great idea on the thread
ill add some up recently since i got some my stuff together again:hippy:

[bloodbrother]

wow just wow.. very good idea! you got alot going on there stinky and the plants are nice too! :p

[the image reaper]

:weedpoke: that BoggleGum looks wayyyyy bad ! :thumbsup: ...

[Weedhound]

Those are fucking A1 beautiful! No shit. No wonder they call you the master.

Long Live Stinskter!! :thumbsup:

[WhiskeyTango]

Long live Queen Stinky!!....lol
"must spread rep around....blah blah"

I gotta make sure my entries are to par now. Ill write it out and proofread before adding to this thread! A++ thread. Sticky a must!!!

[IAmKowalski]

All Hail Stinky. Wow. I mean.... like.... Wow. :computerlove1:

[stinkyattic]

Lookin good Skeet! Thanks!

WT- Sticky? Perhaps... let's get the snowball rolling first!

Art- What a surprise! I'm so happy to see you show up on this side of the pond. Yeah- you already knew what sorts of 'things' I was going crazy with, though. lol.

Stoned- I dig strains with interesting flavors and always end up with a few fruity knockouts. It's hard to pick a favorite, but that NCDG is my favorite fruit strain yet. As for the MTF yield, there are 3 different phenos from that seed ine that I have tried. One is huge and has given me over a zip a plant in NFT hydro, one is Ruderalis in appearance and yields small but strong (I hung on to it for breeding), and the one I decided was the keeper for production is somewhere in the middle and I haven't tested her SOG yet. Yield off that I'd say is lower than average, but totally worth it.

Reap- Nothing like a lil spring in yer step. What'cha gonna name the offspring? Dirty Girl or sumin? :D

Luna- Those pics are from several years' worht of grows, in many different styles that include coco, promix, compost, ebb n flow, NFT... lol... similarly, the lighting on all was different. Right now I am running 2k air cooled over 2- 2x4 ebb n flow trays of containerized hydroton in 6" pots each on a 25 gal res in a total room footprint 6x6 with CO2 using the Canna Aqua line. Works out nice.

Trinitybound- That's because it IS the best. Easiest plant I've run yet, tied with the Afghani Dream. Rockin'!

[stinkyattic]

Tex- That's right! Put 'em up. Congratulations again, by the way.

Bloodbrother- thanks!

Weedhound- They do? :wtf: MAster... SOMEthing, anyway!

WT- Yeah, or you know I'll post a reply with every typo corrected in red text, like a 5th grade teacher! MWAHAHAH!!!

Kowalski- Nice to see ya here!

Okay I got guests, gotta run!

[WhiskeyTango]

EXTREMELY lucky cal on selection of a very nice batch of beans. Almost chose a different one, but the last 3 weeks, well.....you can see it.
-Clone only
-Clones root VERY easy and within 5-7 days
-Veg up to one gal, transfer to 3 gal at flower for about a 5-6zip plant.
-responds GREAT to supercropping
-I like to top/FIM only once, if at all, supercropping can getcha a much more even canopy...IMHO
-Resin starts almost as soon as pistils show.
-Smell: Spicy, and woodsy...almost like cedar and sage I guess, hard to finger it, Ill refine this part upon further testing...lol
-Stone: 1st hit brings an immediate flushing starting at your face and traveling down your neck, and through your body. Second hint brings on that smile, as your smacking your lips, knowing whats to come. 3rd bong rip and well.....it earns its name. VERY good for anxiety, crohns, IBS, skeletal pain. Not a couch lock dumb high, but a VERY relaxed warm vibe. Does have creeper effect, so chill after 2-3 hits for about 15 min, see where your at. VERY strong meds.
Harvested at 20% amber for effects above. Doing 50% amber in a few weeks, so Ill have a revision coming Im sure...lol
Pics are as follows.
1. Bonsai mom
2. clones
3.veg

edit if ya like stinks;)

[stinkyattic]

Nirvana Standard. Pretty basic commercial indoor strain, but it tastes better than commercial weed is supposed to taste, and grows easily. It yields well under many different conditions so is suitable for newer growers.

[stinkyattic]

West Coast clone-only. Very lemony, with a buzzy high. I don't like the structure- it's too viny for my taste and does not suit my growing style. Here's a pic of one re-vegging, but I no longer grow this strain.

[stinkyattic]

Nirvana Standard. Very large yields of super furry orange buds. The bag appeal is great. The high and flavor don't come out until a good cure, at least 3 weeks. IT is also easy to grow and is excellent for noobs, or for people who want to count on high yields consistently no matter what happens. Keep humidity low because the giant buds will rot from the inside out if they are allowed to get moist.

[stinkyattic]

Nirvana Standard. South African IBL. It's a sativa that behaves like an indica. The harvest window starts around 8 weeks but give it 9 to put on the last kick of bulk before harvest. It yields really well and I like it best as a multi-top bush. Very hardy but does not like it outdoors in my climate because of mold.

[BlueDevil]

Awesome thread stinky! :thumbsup: I think I may have a Frosty going myself ( a mystery seed!) but we'll see.

You ever sample any of DJ Shorts wares? After much study and deliberation, and keeping in mind what I've seen here as well as read in Jason King's books, I finally made my first order ever - from the Dr. as well, thanks to your stellar review. Caught him with Blueberry and Flo in stock, and they shipped the same day. I can't wait! :D

Can't wait to see what quality genetics turn up under what I call my new "photon trifecta"! (A combo of HPS, MH, and a UFO LED).

Keep us in the know about that Sensi Super Skunk, sounds pretty damn cool. Whatcha feedin it?

[stinkyattic]

Plan B Collective. Pretty quick plant that seems to do well under flourescents, but the yield is nothing to write home about. IT does, however, smell like berry jam and kick like a mule. I retired it.

[stinkyattic]

West Coast clone only. Haze hybrid. I have not yet flowered her but the taste is very sweet and the yield is large. This individual is showing variegated leaves!

[stinkyattic]

BOG seeds. Short, squat, highly variable aroma and flavor, light feeder, low yield, very early finish. Would do well in SOG under a large T5 fixture to take advantage of its VERY squat stature and wide, efficient leaves. Finishes between raisin and nearly indigo-blue.
Shown, in order are:
Male showing excellent structure
Female
Flowering SOG female

[trinitybound]

Snow Cap is one of my favorite everyday smokes. It always delivers a kick.

[texas grass]

W-Ma clone only. Originally from a pack of Sensi Super Skunk, discovered in 1986. This is a true roadkill skunk. It is the heaviest cropper I have EVER run. It reeks, feeds heavily, gets big, and is just a very vigorous plant that makes its presence in your garden known. High is perky. So is the plant. So are... ; )

what type of flavor does it have?
have you had any other true rks before
ive been in the hunt for a true rks, most skunks on the market are fruity in flavor which i dont want for my selected good skunk. the only leads ive found go back to reefers double skunk

[stinkyattic]

It's true skunk, not fruity like the Cheese. It's actually the only confirmed true stankyskunk I've had yet. Check the Mr. Nice Critical Mass for a seedline approximation of it. I don't know how much of the rks character exists in that line; I believe the selections were made to feature the high yield and hardiness of the MSS.

[Weedhound]

Yes they do.....and rightfully so. Beautiful stuff.....and an incredible knowledge of all of them. :thumbsup:

[hydrocannabis]

looking killer S-attic.

I would love to have the chance to grow thouse strains.:thumbsup:

well I did get the chance to grow the uk cheese this summer. and it turned out to smoke like know other strain I have ever smoked.

only thin thing I don't like is that the cheese plants do strech a lot even under the bright sun in the sky.

well ur stuff seems to alwase be looking great ladie toker.:thumbsup:
:hippy:

[stinkyattic]

Thanks!
I got to smoke the Cheese this weekend with a friend on Lawngisland who runs it and I could smell him breaking up buds on the coffee table from the other end of the house! Mmmm. I can't wait to run her again!

[SimonMakus]

This thread is going to be a bunch of pictures, grow tips, and strain descriptions of some of the strains I have worked with in the past, and still work with today.

If you have pictures of your own, post em up- include the following:
-Non-blurry pics of your plant

-Smoke report and any medicinal benefits it might have



Let's all pitch in and buy Stinky a tripod! :p
Just messin with ya, you know. Beautiful plants!

On a side note, I've noticed an increased Stink over at ICM and the fact you're so well-received there too is a real tribute to your character. Loads of class :thumbsup:

[stinkyattic]

Lol!
Well I've got a tripod actually but I got it at a yard sale and it was missing a screw that holds the top tube snug so its usefulness as a tripod is... questionable, at best... on a good day...
As for IC... yeah I've been active there too but you wanna see a warm reception, check out the thread 'what else can I do' in the Infirmary. Ugh. More like an ice cube dropped down my butt crack.
Thanks for the ups though and I'll try to keep the thread going. There's more, but I just had a scare- a narc-out threat from a banned member that forced me to bail, so it may be a while before I have access to my plants again, and I'm afraid that I'm not going to get everything back alive. Shit... like I need that when I'm struggling not to lose my house to the bank already, I can't even tell you what bad timing this is, now I can't pay for heat this month, my electric will be shut off in a couple weeks, and I'm out of coffee. I don't think people GET IT that they can ruin lives over an internet snit so easily. That's why I haven't been around so much lately. That's why I haven't been in the best of moods dealing with routine silly shit around here. That's why I have been hiding out in my lab crying during the work day. I can't take it. I'm sorry. Why this jsut came out I don't know but I am just not myself any more. But I guess you guys should know the deal since I spend so much time with you. Thanks for being here.

[Weedhound]

Christ what a FUCKER to do that to you! You're the most helpful and knowledgable people here.....What a fucking asshole for giving you shit.

Sorry to hear about your issues Stinkster......shoot me an e mail if you feel like talking or even just ranting.

Take care of yourself.

Wh

[SimonMakus]

Whooooaaaa that's fucked! Was this "banned member" from here or IC? Regardless, I'm sorry to hear of the trouble. I know how all those stress factors can add up and really come to a head like that. Not to sound like a cliched douche but things will get better, Stinky! You've given so much to this community and I'm certain reciprocity exists. Keep your head up :)

[stinkyattic]

Thanks for the kind words guys.
It was not directed at me personally, but at the site in such a way that it would inevitably put an unwanted spotlight on the grow moderator. And over something that I wasn't even involved with, short of time spent PLEADING with him to have some compassion. I hope he listened... I can't really discuss much more but be assured at this point that the registered members are not, and never have been, in danger at all.
I'll get through it somehow but I'm run down like never before.

[the image reaper]

best wishes for this to turn around for ya, hon ... stay in touch with me, if ya have to go away awhile ;) ... hope you have a blessed Christmas, too :jointsmile:

[elskeetro]

Hey Cann.com,

Stinky just said she's having a rough period. She's helped us out in countless ways. Let's all pitch in and help her through her woes. If there's some way to safely and without breaking rules of the board, make a few donations to our beloved queen. A paypal account or something where we could all help bear the burden. I'd throw in right now.

anyone else?
Skeet.

[WhiskeyTango]

...me too skeet. Good on ya. Long live the Queen!! heh
good vibes

[stinkyattic]

Awww shit, guys you don't have to do that. Losing my job might be the best thing to come of this yet- I was not aware of the severance package I had coming to me! 3 months' pay... aw yeah... especially since I suddenly have this feeling I'm not going to be down long. Plus the old job paid about half what it would if I worked in the private sector... whcih is RIGHT where I'm headed. This will be my first venture into industry and out of academia in nearly a decade, and my first time with a killer resume.
I'll be back in the game before you can say boo!

[elskeetro]

Well, I'm glad to hear things seem to be workin themselves out. If you need us, we're here, don't be afraid to ask.

Skeet.

[tinytoon]

Wow I'm reading this a few days late but dam it all to hell when someone has to mess with someone else's life like that. I'm still fairly new around here but without Stinky, WH, Rusty, Loc-nar and quite a few others I would be lost as hell!!! You guys rock more than can be explained in words and to spend as much time as you guys do helping peeps you dont know and prob never will is just outfuckingstanding!!! I dont think I will ever get to the level of growing that most of you are but I can hope to get close. Stinky, I hope all works well for you as you are a very dedicated individual who is loaded with knowledge and dam sure dont deserve to be shit on!! At times of need just hum the "Smurf Song" and you will feel better :thumbsup:
