After waiting a couple of months, I've planted 6 Jack Herer x Thai Angola seeds. These seedlings are the test batch of the first female seeds I've made. It is a honor to get to work with these unique genetics.
These are the cuts I used:
The Thai Angola is a special sativa. It was selected in Spain from a batch that resulted to be quite legendary because only a few seeds were made, and they were distributed only as freebies. ACE and CBG said they would never make crosses involving that Green Angola from the old Spanish breeder La Mano Negra again. This green Angola is the African half of the Thai Angola cut.
The Thai side of the Thai Angola cut is the Meao Thai from Cannabiogen, extreme tropical 100% sativa fire, tamed by CBG for generations, but still very difficult to grow, and very slow to mature. This was the base of their Destroyer strain.
The resulting cross Thai Angola resulted to be the perfect 100% sativa hybrid for its effect. No comedown at all, nothing felt in the body, zero heavyness, all in the head. Hybrid vigour, taste, and nice production for such a special plant. Smells are like geranium or anisette, with a bitter presence. Buds aren't compact, as expected, but they are full of very little flowers and resin, sativa style. I don't know nor imagine a 100% sativa better than that.
The Jack Herer is quite the "commercial" sativa. It produces more than a pure sativa, but its buds are compact and flowers and trichomes are indica big. It is really strong, but still the effect in the body is subtle compared with most hybrids. Only needs about 10 weeks to mature, just a couple more than most indicas. I've been using this cut for several crosses along the years and it gives a very homogeneous offspring. The smell is subtle, varnish-like, with hints of lemon, but just hints.
Well, let's see what comes out of this. I am quite excited, I think about making a thread for them. Last experiences crossing these cuts have been very satisfactory.
