Shiva Skunk Motherplant
"AFOAF grew some (Apollo) recently and got an indica phenotype that finished around 50 days, and a Durban phenotype that took 60 days. The indica phenotype is very resinous, clear high. Not racy nor paranoid. Dense buds, low odor. The Durban phenotype has a stronger high than pure Durban, very clear, very racy, even paranoid. Buds very fluffy, and they flop over from their own weight. Definitely a creeper phenotype in the gene pool (Durban). The mom of A-11 is Genius, an F2 of Jack Herer crossed to an unknown male (likely a Durban imho). The dad of A-11 is Cinderella. Genius expresses the NL and Skunk side of the gene pool. Cindy expresses the Durban and haze side. imho, for the A-11 to have 2 phenotypes in the F1, one of which is fluffy, sweet, and floppy like Durban, means that the Durban gene is in both Apollo and Cindy." - Zorro I created a 'goblet' effect outwards around the top of the wire-tube, and this stopped the damage. Having been eaten back to about 18" in early July, the plants reached about 6' by week-1 Oct. During the whole summer, there was no single week that they were not rained on VERY heavily, and for the last month of their lives they were in perpetual cloud/100% moisture. Only one plant showed any signs of mold (and this one showed only small patches)- which I was extremely pleased with.
The smoke is good- smooth, sweet, menthol/lemony. It has a lot of central and south American Sativa in its
ancestry. The high is long lasting and 'happy'- a day-time smoke. The buds are long and thin. I noticed two
phenotypes (ratio 14:2)- 14 plants had broad, long leaves, high vigor, high yield; 2 were much shorter
(finishing at 4-5'), more compact, started Homegro flowering earlier, but didn’t mature as well, more susceptible to mold,
thinner leaves. Some of the large phenotype flowered with pistils the color of pink-grapefruit.
Its not the easiest plant I've grown, and this may account for why its not more common, but its well worth it. It
definitely is mold resistant beyond any doubt.
These plants get the yield from the size of the plant, not the
density of the buds, so try to ensure a good size by July, and DONT pinch it out. I'm hoping for 3 or 4 ounces
per plant this year- I've put them into my best patch.

The smoke is smooth, non-expansive and has a mild sweet taste. Although the high does Gaia Marijuana Strain not hit you right away, it first creeps through your body making you feel stoned and then only moderately effects your cerebrum, allowing you to concentrate on any task at hand. **” – Homepage Amsterdam Green Spirit is a hybrid of Big Bud and Skunk #1. Was developed because Big Bud itself is not a very consistent strain, with very big differences among individual plants. By crossing Big Bud and Skunk #1, Green Spirit became quite homogeneous. Good results under artificial lights. Clear and strong high. The plants have an explosive flowering trait and are extremely resinous. Very high yield.

They're funny plants when it comes to cuttings. They seem to be much slower to take than most, but the huge
amount of vigor that is inherent in the breed means that the cuts don’t die- they just hang around and don't
do much. I took cuttings of my over-wintering mother which took about 3 weeks to take- during this time, the
cuts didn’t look ill, and didn’t grow, they just 'existed'. The mother plant doesn’t do well indoors- mine seemed
to get freaked out and started to flower. It flowered though most of winter, then suddenly decided to revert, I
don’t know why. They're funny plants when it comes to cuttings. They seem to be much slower to take than most, but the huge
