Best of luck with it. There is a reason why hardly anyone grows Mex and also why you NEVER see it at clubs. I'm sure that most of us have heard the stories about Panama Red and a couple of others that were going around 40+ years ago, but they were long gone by the 1980's so all we have to go on are the words of old stoners. I believe them, but since I can't sample it for myself I will stick with my claim that Mexican strains are inferior in every way. I lived in Carlsbad, CA in the mid to late 80's and most of what was going around was shitty Mex. Not all of it was compressed dirt weed, but it still wasn't very good regardless of how it was treated.

All those good old south American land races have been bred into extinction the genetics might be super deep down in there if you pop like 10,000 seeds tho.

Perhaps you should take a look at what went into makin strains like Nevelle's Haze. I'm a breeder, I use Mex plants all the time in my breeding program. These beans came from the southern region, where the good stuff grows,,,,, do some research

Simply not true

Oh, I totally agree. I'm well aware that Mex has uses as a breeder. I have a Harlequin x GDP plant going right now. I think Harlequin leans more Columbian, but Columbian and Mex strains are essentially the same. Of course, the GDP is dominant or I wouldn't be growing it. I just wanted to try something with a higher CBD content in addition to having a decent level of THC.

We're talking apples and oranges though. I was referring to pure Mexican strains being inferior, which they are. That argument was settled decades ago when NL5 and Skunk #1 became prolific.

 

[whitebb2727]

I've had good green Mexican weed that wasn't compressed. Sure, is isn't schwag, but regardless of how much you pamper a pure Mexican strain it's not very potent and it doesn't taste good. Unless you want that kind of pot I don't see why anyone would bother growing pure Mex unless they don't have access to anything else.

You are full of it.

I've grown Mexican seeds. The taste and smell of mango and other fruits, chocolate, caramal, coffee.

You mofos have never grown them and now the authority on it. Lol.

 

[DCobeen]

Is there anyone on site that has visited your room and agrees no smell? I know if you are around the smell for a long time you don't really smell it.

There is no smell from his grow area. you can rub a stem and smell it but his plants normally dont put off odor as he keeps them happy. I have found the same thing 1 time but I push mine harder than he does and mine have a smell close to chop but his doesnt. I have been in his room several times over last year and he doesnt lie just plain truth.
This is why I dont come to RIU much. SO much BS and fighting as well as tying to discredit someone. Life must suck for those who always are negitive.

You still don't get the part that they are cut early.


Dude, most good sativa strains and mex seed take 16+ weeks of flower, some 20-24+. Not many have the patience for it.

Most pot is junk. Only concern on breeders minds is increasing THC and shortening flower time.

@qwizoking care to weigh in on Mexican genetics?

After years of searchin, I got a cut of this comin, you enjoy that NL#5 , I'll be gettin High

I have never seen or sampled a pure Mex plant that held a candle to what has been going around in CA for 25+ years. A buddy of mine was growing Mex in San Diego county back in the late 80's. He was a good grower and made the most of it, but I turned him onto some Skunk #1 seeds and it changed his life.

If you're growing Mex that smells like that it just makes me wonder if there is something else mixed in somewhere along the line. I used to get Chocolate Thai in SoCal back in the late 80's and it had a distinctive aroma.

Smell aside, Mex just isn't frosty and it lacks potency. I'm not saying it's worthless and has no traits at all that make it a potential breeder, but trying to argue that Mex should be in the discussion with the strains that are going around at the present is laughable. That argument was settled in my circle around 1990.

What ever.

"I'm from Cali, I know what good weed its.". I was getting the best out of Cali 20 years ago.

Its not all that man.

Still have a bag of em, grow em every so often to breed with, in my garden they are mids at best, no way it would change my life LOL

I would venture to say you have never had some real Mexican genetics.

I've had some so good it gave me tracers and visuals.

I've spent the last 20 years looking for more.

Dude, I've been growing for 28 years and you're never going to convince me that Mex is good for anything other than breeding. Again, that argument was settled a long, long time ago.

Whatever floats your boat though. One of my closest friends purposely harvests his plants weeks early because he's terrified of PM, but also because he doesn't want pot that's too strong. Some people don't like strong pot and I get that, but they make up a pretty small % of smokers. Walk into a club with a bag of Mex to sell and see how long it takes before you get laughed out of the room. People don't want that shit. I was forced to smoke plenty of Mex back in the day, both green/uncompressed and brick weed. Never again, man.

Now I know you're full of shit.

Early cut weed actually feels stronger than mature weed. It hasn't developed the cannabinoids to balance it out. It is a short heart pounding high.

It would if you were growing Mex in 1988 and had no other options.
