Methinks afropips is out of business.
that's because afropips is no longer on this plane of existence. +REP in peace afropips. your gear was legendary!
it's not only hard to find pure sativas anymore because everything's been polluted by indicas to some degree or another, but many of the breeders that actually sell them are SKETCHY! i got absolutely NOTHING from my pack of delta 9 labs'
mekong haze or vancouver island seedbank
burmese! i've seen a furious rant over seedsman's malawi gold and have heard grumbling about reeferman's gear too.
i HAVE heard good things about world of seeds' gear and want to test their 75%
columbian gold to see how it measures up to the real deal.
there are breeders out there making really good hazes. i love high quality seeds' haze x skunk. it's not as sensually trippy as columbian gold, but it's defintely more potent and probably long lasting too anf from everything i've read about TGA's
jack the ripper & sannies'
killing fields, those can't be shabby either.
sativa seeds' gear shouldn't be shabby. their oaxican
eldorado is supposed to be pure, though it sounds more like euphoric panama red & acapulco gold than trippy columbian and i can at least say that their highland thai
full moon totally lives up to EVERYTHING i've read about thai. it's slow, stretchy, hates 3 gallon pots, and will turn hermie if it isn't happy (had to cut mine down indoors when it FINALLY started flowering & spraying everything else) but it also had the AUTHENTIC tutti fruity (juicy fruit gum) flavor real thai does and not the grapes of hazes or blueberry. i only got a stony buzz out of mine, but it was probably light starved as well as but got the lowdown that it IS in fact trippy from someone here that's finished it.
i really like high quality seeds'
haze x skunk. it has just a hint of lead eye, but it's buzz is otherwise pure motivational euphoria with a decent level of psychoactivity and even more potency than columbian gold. that's the most IBL leaning smoke i've had so far since the 80s. nirvana's own
H19 skunk looked even more IBL though and might have had less lead eye and more trippy visuals. it's discontinued, but i wouldn't be surprised if they didn't just move it to their sativa seeds' line & rename it
haze #1 the same way they renamed their oaxican strain eldorado when they moved that.
i only sampled mandala's
8 miles high early in flowering, but loved it's energy neutral euphoric buzz a lot. it might not have been as potent as haze x skunk, but i think it had more psychoactivity as it really loved music and i ended up dancing the robot on it and had a really cool body effect that felt like super precise body control leaning into columbian gold territory. it had absolutely no couchlock either. just playful euphoria & motivation.
it's hard finding IBLs for sure, but there are still a few sources if you can grow them and there are plenty of hybrids that aren't at all shabby. short stuff's autoflowering
super cali haze has the same clearheaded euphoric & energetic buzz as well as delicious grapey flavor i got from a 1/2 gram of "real" i was gifted. i couldn't tell the difference without side by side testing.
i'll try and report back on WoSs
columbian gold to see how it compares to 100% cali grown. i'd expect more couchlock and more resin and probably potency but hopefully no less psychoactivity, though i'd expect the light floaty feeling of columbian to get weighted down by whatever indy they used.
sannies' killing fields sounds like it might live up to it's IBL roots better than mekong haze does even if cannabible makes it sound like the trippiest strain in the world, but what good is that if you can't get the beans to pop?
THIS is the exact reason i have so much contempt for cash crapping indicas. you can't get away from them on most streets and they've pushed so many awesome IBLs into extinction in pure form
cambidian
vietnamese blackseed
kerala
columbian gold
panama red
acapulco gold
michiocan
burmese
&
hawaiian
etc.
thanks for refusing to give into the evil forces that want you too tired and stoopid to fight back as they pick your pocket bro! those of left who refuse to surrender to couchlock have to grow & breed what we can to preserve it and encourage the few breeders out there who put at least as much love in their gear as greed.
i haven't smoked ANYTHING that can top columbian gold's psychoactivity, but so far, i'm really happy with
haze skunk, super cali haze &
8 miles high and plan to test as much indoor doable mind expanding gear as i can until i find a secure spot i can stealth some IBLs.
i've always drooled over the strains in reeferman's collection, but i'd like to see some reports on that gear before i go pissing money away as i have with delta 9 & VISC on IBLs.
