I used to grow Brainstorm.....but back then it was called Isis (or was it Hempstar?).......well, it was one of those. It's a nice strain......
This is Brainstorms history right from Dutch Passion, this is my first time growing it, all i know is they were cheap, well as feminized seeds go, and got some good reviews.
"In former times, Dutch Passion's
Brainstorm variety was composed of
Skunk,
Oasis and
Haze. In 1998, Henk van Dalen decided that it was time to rebuild his Brainstorm and really take it to the stars: The new parents Northern Lights #5 and Haze put Brainstorm to another level. Besides
Skunk #1, these two are the main cornerstones of the traditional Amsterdam gene pool - which, for its part, was imported from the USA during the 80ies. Northern Lights #5 (mostly indica) was created from cannabis afghanica and cannabis sativa in the late 70's near Seattle/Washington (USA) and became one of the thriving powers of the Dutch coffeeshop marijuana business in the second half of the 80's. This dark green strain was bred for very compact growth, fast flowering, large harvests and high potency. The only thing one could complain about is the fact that Northern Lights has no charismatic aroma and taste - in contrast to the famous Haze strain that originally emerged from the legendary breeding school of "Cultivator's Choice" (one of the breeders: Sam the Skunkman) in the early 70's. The original Haze is a complex polyhybrid of mostly Mexican and Colombian sativa, as well as South Indian and Thai sativa. By selective inbreeding, Cultivator's Choice managed to merge these exotic sativa genetics into one superb stable and true-breeding variety. Its leafs are very thin and sharply serrated, the buds are rather sparse but nevertheless pack an unique punch of extreme, sometimes even psychedelic sativa potency. In addition, its aroma and taste are of superior quality, sweet and bitter, with certain sandalwood undertones. Nothing else smells and tastes like Haze. Some call it the Dom Perignon of cannabis. However, this champagne quality comes at a fairly high price: original Haze plants can take up to awesome 20 weeks to fully ripen, 14-18 are common. So
Brainstorm is expected to considerably shorten down this long flowering period and to increase the Haze's low yield by making use of Northern Lights #5 genes, but on the other hand, also to preserve those unique Haze aroma and high properties. Let's see whether this mission proved successful with Brainstorm."
You can check out my current DP's Brainstorm grow if ya like, had some serious stretching from week 2-3...so much i had to chop some tops off..kinda sucked but oh well. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/730315-wilds-1000w-brainstorm-grow.html
