Where are the Mexican genetics?

Other than AK-47, which genetics carry any Mexican genetics?

I am old enough to remember bricked Mexican shwag weed that we'd buy for $15 a "lid" (lol). It tasted like green hay…was terribly grown/processed…but was FULL of shiny dark, oily seeds! I always wondered what might have happened if some of those seeds had been grown with loving care and selectively bred for a few generations.

Discuss?

i think they lost it two the cartells and the cops and the poletics they cant grow anymore like they usto, i remember some bomb ass skunk buds brick once in a while one hitter quitters selective bricks it just aint what it usto be i hear they have new generation of growers hitting the shops with outdoor buds fluf and arizona fluff???? could just be me but i usto remember that brick weed two when one finger was a dime bag and two was a twenty lolz ow man how it has come along hasnt it???

I've grown mexican brick seeds hydroponically, there was one specifically that knocked my socks off. A few tokes, and everything looked and felt like a cartoon. The rest were average.

i have smoked some mex weed i got to mexico to visit my parents side of the family i was born here what if i go down there and bring back some seeds then breed haha

Eskobar has been running some mex seeds.

chimera has one called 'Highland Mexican'
available at hempdepot.ca
I've never run it but would like to some day.

Ace and/or Cannabiogen have some Mexican strains. They look beautiful although they are long flowering, 16 weeks or more. Looks very high quality and apparently is limited in case you are interested. I think the mug shop and beansman has them.

4 landrace mexican sativa's are about to be released by "El Tiberon". Jalisco - Oaxacan - Michoacan - Acapulco Gold

You can already buy Jalisco mixed with Haze or Chocolope on Sannie's Shop

Here is the thread by El Tiberon announcing his intentions, he risked his life to steal those seeds.

You need to go back to fifth grade, every post you make on this site is like reading through some five year olds story.

Mexican brick is great to grow out.. cheap seeds too

Exactly where my parents are from Jalisco!

Finding pure mexican is like finding a needle in a haystack.

I have lived close to the border for over 20 years of my growing life and have yet to find the "Pure" mexican sativa.

At this point I think it may not even exist anymore due to all the cross-breeding that is now done..

I'm growing some "AZ Bud" aka Arizona Bud aka Bud from Arizona that was shipped into the states via Mexico aka Really Shwaggy looking compressed bud full of delicious ceeds that could possibly be old school Mexican Genetics (Oaxacan, Acapulco Gold, and such) -- They look pretty impressive; a bit less vigorous than I want but the bud I smoked was really heavy and greasy; quite nice; smelled super potent. You definitely can grow dank-looking bud from any seed; how "potent" it is ABLE to become will depend on the genetics in the seed... I pollinated one of the AZ Bud females with a New England bagseed from a mainstream commercial grower; should be delicious. Nice post.

lowryderlove^^^^^This is what I fear for many of the old strains. It seems that many people just got caught up in trying to make the perfect strain….and in doing so, lost a lot of the landrace varieties. Now, whether those landrace varieties were worth it or not, on a commercial basis, there had to be a few that were unique tasting and worth it to the private growers and connoisseurs.

And, at this point, I'm in it for flavor. I doubt that I can ever get "wrecked" without going to silly extents to do so….and that's just not my style at this point in time. lol. But I'd like to find out IF there are true Mexican strains still available and what they'd be like to grow one. I'll bet some would produce that skunk, petroleum-tar smell that I've been looking for.

Thanks for the information. I'll check a few of those seed sources out and see if the seeds look like the ones I remember. They were actually kinda unique-looking seeds….very dark….very shiny…some were very large.

I've never seen a true south/central American come out of a seed bank..

Thai was the first landrace that was considered amazing by itself and Zamal Reunion (landrace) is getting a reputation for being intense and freaky, it's the only strain by Seeds of Africa to sell out on all sites, some of the seeds are big fat and very dark.

some one on riu did a mexi bag seed grow journal that was pretty detailed...

mine are from jalisco and zacatecas, but a brother from another father from germany lolz quit the culture clash

their are parts out thier that are not run into by the turest, but small villages in the mountains away from life and civilization were a few farmers grow the plants next to rivers were they are secret tokers for one the cops are supper dicks but you dont want to get rated out by others that you grow a plant or two so thier is sead to be plants scaterd freely throught the serro...and at the riverside it grows wild..

i also remember that red haird skunk anyone remember that in the 80 90's
