"Regarding Early Girl, Ed Rosenthal says he knows (it was) developed by Cultivators' Choice in California in the
70's.”
“Early Girl - This is a mostly Indica early variety developed in Northern California. The plants are compact and
very sturdy, and will tend to grow to one main stem. Very potent, medium yield, with a hashy taste and aroma.
Inbred for 4 generations and carefully selected for quality and earliness. Early Girl is an outstanding choice for
growers seeking an early Indica-type.
I would have to say to give Blueberry a shot. I received mine from BC Seeds, WOW. I used to grow with stash
seeds. No more. Blueberry in 65 days budding time produced 1.8 Oz per s.f., with 55 watts per s.f., vented
highly. The strength and the taste were a 10 on 1-10 with skunk #1 being a 5.I would have to say to give Blueberry a shot. I received mine from BC Seeds, WOW. I used to grow with stash

e, the things I was doing might be silly, but they felt
very natural.
Hunger and taste was another question which I singled out specifically; 150
respondents, or about 75 percent of the sample, said that they had eaten food while they
were high. Of this 150, six said that there was no difference between eating high and
eating straight, that marijuana had no effect on the nature of the eating experience. Eight
percent said that the experience was worse in some way; they had less of an appetite, or
the food tasted worse, and that they did not enjoy the experience of eating food when they
were high. Thirty-eight percent said that the most dominant characteristic about being
high and eating was that one's appetite was stimulated; one had a tremendous appetite
while high. Thirty-one percent said that the food tasted more delicious high than
ordinarily, that eating was a more enjoyable experience. Eleven percent said, merely, that
they were more acutely aware of taste, that they could discern the various tastes more
accurately while high. The remaining respondents said that they were more aware, above
all, of the texture of the food while high, that the most important thing was that they
suddenly desired unusual combinations of foods, that they wanted to eat weird foods they
had never considered before, and that they had a special craving for sweet things.
We should also expect sexual activity to be closely intertwined with, and powerfully
influenced by, smoking marijuana, and in this, our expectations are well supported. Threequarters
of our interviewees said that they had experienced sex while high on marijuana.
We asked several specific questions on the difference between sex high on marijuana and
sex normally.
First I asked, "Do you think being high on marijuana stimulates your sex interest, or
not?" More than a third of the respondents said that marijuana had no effect on their
sexual desire. Five percent said that marijuana had a negative effect, that it turned them
off sexually. Thirteen percent said that the effect depends on their mood or on their sexual
partner. In this group, a common response among the women was that marijuana acts as a
sexual stimulant when they're with someone with whom they're already intimate, but

when they smoke with a stranger, the prospect of sex becomes even more distasteful than
ordinarily. For these women, marijuana seems to polarize sexual desire. But 44 percent, a
strong plurality, replied that marijuana definitely increased their sexual desire.
Next, I asked, "Is your enjoyment of sex any different high?" The respondents were less
divided on this question. An overwhelming majority, 68 percent, replied that marijuana
increased their sexual enjoyment, that their orgasmic pleasure was heightened by the drug.
Yet most scientists claim that in physiological terms marijuana lacks an aphrodisiac effect.
If anything, Princess is a female which resulted from a seed found in a Jack Herer bud I bought in Amsterdam near the
Sensi Seed Bank at "Coffeeshop Sensi Smile". The bud came in a 2 gr. cello-pack with the Sensi logo; I
expected sinsemilla, but it had about 10 seeds so I assume she's an F2 JH. Her characteristics were so fine I
wanted to create seeds that would "replicate" this plant. She has the KILLER Haze-influenced high with the most
DELICIOUS pineapple/evil scent, 50 day maturation in 12/12, and incredible resin production, doesn’t stretch -
yet clearly Sativa-dominant! Last but not least: Never a hint of hermaphrodism after 2 years of cloning & many
different styles of grow. "IMHO a Northern Lights would be best, easiest, and have the best high. This variety has been around for
years; it has great name recognition. It is disease free, and easy to grow. The yield is above average though
not perhaps quite as great as some of the Big Bud hybrids. It can be grown using any method including SOG,
SCROG. or bushy. An all around great strain." -Kohala Friend has been growing supposed BB for a while now, and let me say that the BB from Sensi I grew and
selected a perfect mother (maybe just great luck?), but mine sure is different. Much greener, tastier, more
potent, amazing. 8-10 in my opinion. But even Sensi says that 25% are "Special". So I'd advise germing the
whole batch (pack ) of seed as to give yourself a better shot at a primo Mom! Good luck dude. If you never
grew any exotics before, try an easier strain. You really kind of need to know what your doing (selection wise).”

Ed Rosenthal says marijuanaseeds Early Pearl came from the Midwest, but was a cross of Early Girl and Polly, an early
California sativa.”
“I've grown this both inside and out. If you do a search, you'll probably find some previous posts that I’ve
written on this type; In brief, it is effectively pure sativa (though actually has early girl crossed in, very
recessive in all respects). Inside and out, it likes to grow large. Stretch continues right through flowering, which
was a respectable 8 weeks seed swap club (the only virtue carried over from B Cuzz early girl). Buds are thin, green, sweet and sharp
smell, very good sativa high- quite psychoactive (trippy?). Little paranoia, very long high. Unless you grow very
big plants, yield is low, as could be expected from such a plant. At present I'm having great trouble with my EP
mother- it has decided to auto-flower.
After re-potting the 10-inch plant into a 1.75 gallon container,
re-vegging started, but now it looks like it's going to go back into flower White Widow again (this is on 24/0). Root mass is

The plants build up alkaloids during dry seasons
and draw upon them for growth when the rains come. If the plants are harvested
during or after a wet spell, the alkaloid content may have dropped below 50
percent. If you have a soil test kit, you can get a good indication of the potency of
cacti growing wild. If the soil is rich in nitrogen, the plants are likely to be rich in
alkaloids.
When harvesting peyote, many people uproot the entire plant. This is
unnecessary and wasteful. The roots contain no mescaline. Some of these plants
have taken a long time to reach their size. A cactus three inches in diameter may
be more than 20 years old. To collect peyote properly the button should be
cleanly decapitated slightly above ground level. When the roots are left intact
new buds will form where the old was removed. These will eventually develop
into full-size buttons which may be harvested as before. Faulty harvesting
method have seriously depleted populations of this cactus. Because of the
presence of several phenolic alkaloids peyote cacti do not spoil easily and may
be kept in their fresh form for several weeks after harvesting. If they are to be
kept longer than this they must be refrigerated, frozen, or dried. The enzymes
which cause the harvested plant to eventually decompose also destroy the
mescaline and other alkaloids. To dry peyote buttons lay them out in the hot sun
or in an oven at 250 degrees F until completely devoid of moisture.
OTHER PEYOTE-TYPE CACTI OF CENTRAL MEXICO
There are several cacti which are used by the Tarahumares and other tribes of
central Mexico as substitutes for peyote. Many of these cacti are now under
investigation for their alkaloidal content and sychopharmacological activity.
Progress is somewhat retarded in the studies of the effects of these plants
because almost all experimentation has been conducted on laboratory animals
rather than humans. Some of these cacti have been found to contain mescaline
and other related alkaloids with known sympathomimetic properties. Much further
research is needed on these plants and their activity. However, we will attempt to
bring the reader up to date on what is known about them at this time.
PEYOTILLO:
This small cactus is botanically called PELECYPHORA ASELLIFORMIS. It is
also known sometimes as the hatchet cactus because of its oddly flattened
tubercules. It is often found growing in the state of San Louis Potosi in central
Mexico. The plant contains traces of mescaline too minute to have any effect. It
also contains small amounts of anhalidine, anhaladine, hordenine, Nmethylmescaline,
pellotine, 3-demethyltrichocereine, B-phenethylamine, Nmethyl-
B-phenethylamine, 3,4-dimethoxy-B-pheneththyl-amine, N-methyl-3,4-
dimethoxy-B-phenethylamine, and 4-methoxy-B-phenethy- lamine. Most of these
are found in peyote but in much larger quantities.
TSUWIRI:
The botanical name of this cactus is ARIOCARPUS RETUSUS. The Huichol
name tsuwiri means F Clone flowered under a 400watt, 42watts/sq.ft. Grown organically in a soilless medium, 1:1:1 ratio of GOOD

harvest and branches needed staking to keep from flopping over. I crossed my ShivaSkunk female with one of
the males from the same group of seeds that Princess came from. THIS cross produced a male which was then
crossed to Princess, creating "P.50" (using a shorthand notation I developed to indicate the fraction of Princess
genes in the cross).
Each generation is the result of crossing a male from the previous generation to Princess herself (incestuous, I
know). I would have to say to give Blueberry a shot. I received mine from BC Seeds, WOW. I used to grow with stash

the buds looked like I imagine WW looks,
white ;-) Note: This plant piles on the resin in the last few days, I don’t recommend harvesting early and
know I won’t do it again."
"Aroma
It was nice to get something that smelled good in the grow to compensate for the smell, which I don’t like, of
the N x S when it is growing.
It smells of citrus, fruity, with the skunk lurking in the background is the best
way I can describe it. It isn’t over powering but did require more than a baggy to contain the smell when I
brought an ounce to someone."
"Buzz
When I cut the bud at 37 days with the 50% withered flowers I test smoked it with a buddy on a ride. He
doesn’t smoke as much as I do but he isn’t a lightweight by any means, he smokes almost once a day I
guess. He missed 6 turns on a familiar ride in 1 hour and 15 minutes. He liked the buzz but was not happy
with it for driving since he was spacing out so much. I thought the whole thing was kind of funny myself and
I’m sure you know I was all over him on every missed turn. (Little did he know..I wasn’t exactly catching them
all either ;-) I
Cannabis Dans Le Sang didn’t like the buzz from this early bud at first, it was too speedy for me, but it did calm down
after a while. The other thing that wasn’t too impressive from it was the staying power of the buzz.
Now the buds harvested later were a completely different story. Mature buds have a unique buzz. It’s
definitely not couch lock weed but you can find comfort in your big buddy if you want to. It starts like a sativa
soar, then quickly settles into a body and mind buzz conducive to thought and guess what…you can then
verbalize those thoughts without difficulty ;-) This is a social indica."
"The buzz lasts quite a while and slowly turns into a couch lock thing if you don’t puff some more. Bottom
line-. As a head grower I would keep the plant just for the buzz I like the buzz since couch lock isn’t all there
is to life, I guess ;-) If I were still growing for dough I would love this plant and will keep it in case I get back
into the game someday.
Yo money tree folks… people like the looks and smell of this weed. I don't have any other comments on the
buzz yet but will include them in the additional T44 info that will be given in the next Flo Sheet.” – flick"

"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).

of A-11 is Cinderella.
Genius expresses the NL and Skunk side of the gene pool. Cindy expresses the Durban and haze side.

that the Durban gene is in both Apollo and Cindy." - Zorro The only side effect reported by the subjects taking 5-HTP was stomachache, of which there were 41 instances during the entire three-year trial. In the placebo group, there were only 10 instances of stomachache, but also 118 instances of nausea and 78 of abdominal pain. This is not inconsistent with the very few side effects other studies have reported by those taking 5-HTP. These results may be explained by 5-HTP's ability to reduce hypersensitivity to pain. Moreover, in the study, eosinophilia (elevation of the special white blood cells associated with inflammation) was not reported in the 5-HTP group; in the control group, there was one case. y alcohol itself is a dangerous drug.

to get freaked out and started cannagenetics to flower. It flowered though most of winter, then suddenly decided to revert, I

“I've grown this both inside and out. If you do a search, you'll probably find some previous posts that I’ve
written on this type; In brief, it is effectively pure sativa (though actually has early girl crossed in, very
recessive in all respects). Inside and out, it likes to grow large. Stretch continues right through flowering, which
was a respectable 8 weeks (the only virtue carried over Cannabis Holland from early girl). Buds are thin, green, sweet and sharp

containing this alkaloid is not difficult to
perform and is perhaps one of the most rewarding alchemical processes that one
can attempt. The chemicals required for this process are readily available and
their purchase arouses no suspicion or interest on the part of Government
agencies. The equipment employed is not expensive or particularly complicated
or can be constructed very easily from ordinary household items. The entire
process can be carried out in any kitchen in the matter of hours by following the
instructions below and in the final stages one can verify the success of the
procedure by actually watching the crystals of mescaline precipitate in the
solution. One kilo (2.2 lbs) of dried peyote buttons may yield between 10 and 60
grams of pure white needle crystals of mescaline depending on the potency of
the plants used. On average the yield is about 20 grams. The Canabisse En Aeroponic usual underground
price of a kilo of dried peyote ranges between $125 and $250 (25 to 50 cents per
button). From indians in the southwestern USA the price is closer to $50 (10
cents per button). The street price for a gram of pure mescaline is $20 to $30 - if
one is lucky enough to find it.

One can obtain from a kilo of dried peyote $200 to
$1200 worth of mescaline. If San Pedro is employed on may anticipate a yield of
3 to 12 grams of mescaline per kilo of dried cactus. One can legally purchase a
kilo of dried San Pedro for $5 to $10 and from it extract $60 to $250 worth of pure
mescaline.
Grind a kilo of the dried cactus, place this in a large pressure cooker, cover with
distilled water, and boil for 30 minutes. Strain the liquids and save them. Return
the pulp to the pot, add more water and boil again for 30 minutes. Strain the
liquids and combine them with the first strainings. Repeat this process about five
times or until the pulp no longer has a bitter taste. Discard the pulp and reduce
the volume of the combined strainings by boiling in an open pot. Do not use
aluminum ware. When the liquids have been concentrated to the thickness of
cream (about one quart), stop the boiling and stir in 400 grams of sodium
hydroxide (lye). This makes the mescaline more soluble in benzene and less in
water. If a large separatory funnel is

available pour the liquids into it and add
1600 ml of benzene. Shake the funnel well for five minutes and let it stand for two
hours. If a separatory funnel is not available the process can be carried out in a

the water layer will settle to the bottom and the
benzene layer will float to the top. Between the two layers will be a thin emulsion
layer of mixed water and benzene. Drain off the water and emulsion layers if you
are using a separatory funnel or siphon off the benzene layer if you are using the
makeshift jug-siphon apparatus.
Be certain that neither the water or emulsion
layers get into the benzene layer when separating. If any of these layers d I wanted to "cube" Princess but add a little beef to her branches because the buds were always too heavy at
harvest and branches needed staking to keep from flopping over. I crossed my ShivaSkunk female with one of
the males from the same group of
Himalayan Gold Himalayan seeds that Princess came from. THIS cross produced a male which was then
crossed to Princess, creating "P.50" (using a shorthand notation I developed to indicate
Skunk the fraction of Princess
genes in the cross).
Each generation is the result of crossing a male from the previous generation to Princess herself (incestuous, I
know). “Princess was obtained from growing out seeds found in buds of Jack Herer that was purchased in Amsterdam at
the "Sensi-Smile" coffee shop, an authorized outlet of Sensi Seed Bank. Thus, it is considered to be an f2
generation Jack Herer. The seeds were found only in the deepest part of the buds indicating that the father was
an unusually early-maturing JH that the growers missed at first.” - MrSoul

OUTDOOR SECURITY
As we have said before the best way to secure your outdoor
garden plants is via a shelter. One must also remember that some
outdoor plants do smell and this can carry over a short distance given
the right wind and the right climate. Most people would not know
what the smell is but some DO! Many growers get around this problem
by growing cannabis plants that have very little smell during
flowering. These types of strains are listed by most seed-banks. Again
you should ask about strains that have low smell levels. All Cannabis
plants smell to some degree during flowering.

me, along with a VERY wet autumn, so my yield was almost nil. I planted out on June-1, they suffered bigbud a couple
of frosts during which some purple showed. I planted them out after sexing on 12/12, which I wouldn't do now,

plants was the result. Water soluble slug pellets resulted in the plants being eaten to one foot tall bare stems
