Hashishin Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Some years ago possibly ten or eleven I got a cutting form an old acquaintance that was quite unique to anything I have come across, smoked or grown since, the only thing that is remotely similar to it is some of the haze varieties. This particular cutting was apparently Red Thai or Super Red Thai, that's all I was told. I managed to keep the stain for a few years but unfortunately lost it in the end due to poor maintenance of the mother and low winter temperatures in the location in which I was growing at the time. This plant was very different in quite a few ways, I think many land race traits showed through in the mature plants and buds. The leaves were extremely pointed, delicate, and slender with heavily jagged serrations, dark green in colour turning with a reddish hue later in flowering. The buds also developed a slight reddish, lavender tint to them also and were very resinous. The plant had a high bud to leaf ratio, it grew to a medium, tall hight and possibly tripled in height whilst in flower, which lasted for anything between 10 and 12 weeks. Effects and high were truly unique, sativa dominant, very powerful, visual and long lasting. After 17 years of smoking possibly hundreds of different varieties of cannabis and 10 years of growing out many dozens of different strains I've never come across anything similar in terms of the effect only in terms of physical similarities within the structure of the buds themselves. Was interested if anyone thinks they have smoked or come across anything similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 sounds like you had some very unique material . it's hard to get a manageable thai for indoor cultivation. I suspect a male indica to have been crossed with a thai plant. It's a wild guess, but that's just my opinion. Try crossing a male top44 with some thai durban , and see what you get.

chrisesq Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Try crossing a male top44 with some thai durban , and see what you get. Why Top44? Its a pretty mediocre plant at the best of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) top44 is manageable, and the flavour is all there. Crossing it with a sativa makes it express a cerebral high. Compared to other " hard hitting " strains - yes it is mediocre. On itself it is a stable and predictable plant IMHO. The male plant makes it possible to determine the stature of the cross.

Hashishin Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Psycho-tik, Top44 might be a mediocre to strong smoke (not sure, not tried it doesn't really interest me) but it would be probably one of the last places I would start to look for the unique high I found within this red Thai.

Weedio Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) I'd grab one of the land-race Thai's. World of seeds have one called Wild Thailand that's more or less a stabilised landrace strain. Really good smoke too mate, completely unique. I imagine that strain would atleast give you a decent hard start on what you're looking for. e2a: Quick google found that some of those pheno's do indeed go purple, red etc. after low night time temps .

The Black Sheep Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm staying away from WOS from now on. Bought a pack of Killimanjaro & Brazil Amazonia. Not one from the two packs germed when plenty of others did PPP(Nirvana?), Purple Satin (Private Breed) & a good selection of Namkahs seeds. I hope you exeprience different :wink: TBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 having crossed a male afghan-durban into a top44 lady once , I can only say : Top44 is highly underestimated as a building block piece of genetics. This cross I made finishes flowering at a stunning 38 days ( can be harvested at 40 though), and has a unique creeper high , and an original fine flavour. Unexpressed genetics in a strain can be brought to life with the right crossing. Don't forget Top44 is a skunk family member= sativa traits are still in it. U don't need reputed strains in a cross to get a fantastic cross. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashishin Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Psycho-tic - I am not interested in Top44, I am not interested in crossing Top44. I am particularly interested in what crosses or hacks you have or have not made with that variety . If you want to discuss Top44 then may I suggest you make a thread about it yourself .

Irrelevant Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 there's some arrogance in the air. enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashishin Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Arrogant, not me. Trying to keep the thread on topic, yes. If that strain is what you are into then fine that's cool with me I hope you enjoy it, TBH I very seriously doubt it is anything like what I am after, good day .
