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 Hindu Kush 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 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"
"“This variety is a Cheyenne Indica with a skunky influence, for lovers of fragrant weed with a strong buzz.
Take this girl just before bed and have a seductively sedative session. Her name was derived from her
stupefying qualities. Gag me with a bud."
"“A pure variety, never hybridized, imported from Afghanistan, grown in Holland. Very broad leaves, 100%
Indica.
Heavy buds with lots of resin. Some plants turn purple at harvest time. Rather high flower to leaf ratio.
Aroma and flavor are heavy, almost medicinal. Very strong, physical, practically narcotic high. Average yields."
"“The Afghani part is a very short Christmas tree-like plant, 100% Indica, very resinous and very consistent.
The
F
Bubble is available for 150 NLG and has 22 seeds. This has to do with low
germination rates at the last tests and making up for that. I
greenmans don't know
the one Adam sells personally, but do know that they derive from the same
genetic background.
It took a while Whitewidow before I was pleased with the product
and there was also a personal thing involved, with the person who brought
the genetics over to Holland.
I waited till that was resolved to
satisfaction." - Simon, owner of Serious Seeds, Amsterdam
“This strain may be the "Holy Grail". The result of painstakingly backcrossing a VERY RARE female to her male
progeny over 3 generations. This hybrid was specifically bred for indoor cultivation. Short statured & heavily
branched, this plant grows LONG, dense colas with an EXTREMELY high flower/leaf ratio and OUTRAGEOUS resin
production. The breeder has observed a "giant leap" in potency with each progressive generation and, as
expected, Cinderella 99 has topped all previous results - her high is heavily influenced by Haze; clear, energetic
& devastatingly psychoactive. A plant Shivas with all of the above is rare enough, but Cinderella 99 finishes flowering
after a scant 50 days of 12/12! Above-average yields of crystal covered buds reeking of tropical fruit aromas can
be harvested every other month once a mother plant is selected and asexually propagated. One final accolade -
preliminary results from the breeder indicate
Dutch Passions Cinderella 99 will breed true..." -Brothers Grimm seedbank
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.
I grew it, or at least something called Early Girl, that I got from Holland in the late '80s. It was pretty average
all the way around G 13 in my opinion. About average yield, high, and
pollinatorseedbank everything else. I got some California Orange
at the same time and liked it a little better.

The main problem is the name, Big Bud, everyone expects massive buds. They are big, but not significantly
larger than many other top strains. The potency is good but not knock you off your feet good. There is huge
variations from plant to plant, some are killer and deserving of some of the legends, but the majority are just
typical(of high quality strains). Overall, a good plant as long as you don't expect miracles. I just finished a
bowl of it myself. s are well mixed in the spore
syringe. Often, it takes several tries to get the spores fully broken apart
and well mixed.
If the spores in the print have been dried and are not fresh, it is best to
wait six hours to use the spore syringe. The spores need to rehydrate. If
your in a hurry, the spores can still rehydrate in the culture jars.
How to Make a Spore Print
Once you have a mature mushroom, you are in a position to make a
spore print and use it to continue cultivation of mushrooms. The cap
should be harvested when the mushroom cap has become flat or is
starting to invert.
Sterility is key. Adaptation-25 Be careful not to do anything that will
compromise the sterility of your spore print. The typical procedure is
to cut the stalk off of a mature mushroom very close to the cap. A
sterilized knife or razor blade is used to do this. The cap is then laid on
a sterile piece of tissue paper or card stock and a small glass set over it.
The glass is needed for two reasons. First, it keeps the spore print
insulated from airborne contaminates. Secondly, it helps keep the
humidity high so the mushroom cap can continue to live and drop its
spores. One note of caution. Some humidity usually needs to be

How To Grow Magic Mushrooms The Magic Mushroom Growers Guide (page 3)
allowed to escape. You want the environment inside the glass to be
slightly less humid than the environment in which the mushroom was
grown. If you have problems getting a cap to drop its spores, try using
a piece of paper for the print that fits entirely inside the glass and
spreading out a wash cloth flat on the table. Let the edge of the glass
seal to the wash cloth instead of the paper. This will usually allow
enough humidity to escape to cause the cap to drop spores.
If everything goes well, after a day or two the cap will drop its spores.
Adaptation-26 There will be a purple-brown dust underneath the cap.
These are the spores.
Eye glass lens paper is good source of sterile tissue paper. A box of
waxy tissue paper that deli's use to pick up donuts and rolls is another
excellent source of sterile tissue paper. Card stock (such as a recipe
card) is a bit easier to use later when you want to prepare a spore
syringe, but you have to expend the extra effort up front to sterilize it.
To use card stock, place in a 425 degree F. oven for 15 minutes. Let it
cool with a glass over it before you place the cap on it.
Once you have a spore print on the paper, remove the glass and cap.
Fold the spore print in half and seal the edges so air can not get in. A
piece of scotch tape on each side will do nicely. The spores will stay
viable for 18 months if they are kept in a cool, dry and dark spot. If
you place a small amount of desiccant in the bottom of a film container
and place a cotton ball on top of the desiccant, you have an ideal
container to keep the spore print. The cotton ball will keep the
desiccant from touchi

Described as "a fast finishing hybrid of Northern lights and an Afghani". This sounds a lot like the forerunner of
Slyder/Chronic.” 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 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.

Again, like the rest of the Positronic stock grown out so far, these plants were close to identical in appearance.
They looked very much like the NL x Shiva that also came from Posi. To bad it didn’t take after the NL x Shiva

The one female was not very impressive grown from seed and

grew like chit. Very airy bud with little resin and a lot of leaf. The buzz made it worth keeping for a harvest from

though it still showed male flowers, not a lot but too many. The second time grown from clone it showed male

brother (a JH f2) back to the ShivaSkunk mother. In "cubing" terms that would mean that your plants are

Afoaf has a Posi Big Bud Mom that is 70% pistils ripe, with cloudy heads in about 43-45 days and it yields real
nice. Its a real tough strain, eats ferts big time, not the strongest most devastating buzz, however it has a
long duration 4 hours, but a repeat for sure, the strain has really "grown on me." Its just an all-around good
strain, now if it took 55-60 days it would be history, its speed to harvest is a big consideration.-Budm “Bank: Positronics

therapeutic use of cannabis preparations has been well documented for centuries,
and folklore has recorded its use in insomnia, neuralgia, migraine pain,
rheumatism, asthma, bronchitis, loss of appetite, and gynecological and obstetrical
problems such as dysmenorrhea

This was clinically confirmed by Sallan and co-workers? in 1975 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.

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.
Bubble is available for 150 NLG and has 22 seeds. This has to do with low
germination rates at the last tests and making up for that. I don't know
the one Adam sells personally, but do know that they derive from the same
genetic background. It took a while before I was pleased with the product
and there was also a personal thing involved, with the Magic Garden person who brought
the genetics over to Holland. I waited till that was resolved to
satisfaction." - Simon, owner of Serious Seeds, Amsterdam

females, all short, very vigorous and dense in growth. I put them into bud after 4 weeks under floros when
they were about 12-14"". All had minimal stretching under my 1000w hps and using CO2 with temps in 75-85
range. Out of my 4 females, one had a mold problem at 6 weeks and the other 3 are about 2 and a half feet

target with the silver I’ve smoked and the Early Skunk (EPXSK#1) that I have grown. The taste of the EP (very

Blow-by-blow description of the generations:
P.50 = Heavy, single-cola type plants with mellow high (too much influence from the ShivaSkunk) Sweet Fonddecrancannabis fruity
scent/flavor. Unstable in most traits - for example, 10 days difference in fastest/slowest maturation period in a
group of 20 seedlings.
P.75 = Plants leaning MUCH more in the direction of Princess in floral cluster and bud structure, scent/flavor
turned more "tropical" like pineapple.
The stability was becoming better - two major phenotypes; short & dense
(potent too) or tall/HUGE (Not so potent).
P.88 = Renamed Cinderella 88 when first released on the market. It grows fast and produces excellent yields of
FROSTY buds in 7 weeks! Generally uniform seedlings with minor differences in floral formation and some height
variance, but the smoke is quite consistent from all plants Pollinatorseedbank - Dense, heavy nuggets of fruity scented & flavored

s are well mixed in the spore
syringe. Often, it takes several tries to get the spores fully broken apart
and well mixed.
If the spores in the print have been dried and are not fresh, it is best to
wait six hours to use the spore syringe. The spores need to rehydrate. If
your in a hurry, the spores can still rehydrate in the culture jars.
How to Make a Spore Print
Once you have a mature mushroom, you are in a position to make a
spore print and use it to continue cultivation of mushrooms. The cap
should be harvested when the mushroom cap has become flat or is
starting to invert.
Sterility is key. Adaptation-25 Be careful not to do anything that will
compromise the sterility of your spore print. The typical procedure is
to cut the stalk off of a mature mushroom very close to the cap. A
sterilized knife or razor blade is used to do this. The cap is then laid on
a sterile piece of tissue paper or card stock and a small glass set over it.
The glass is needed for two reasons. First, it keeps the spore print
insulated from airborne contaminates. Secondly, it helps keep the
humidity high so the mushroom cap can continue to live and drop its
spores. One note of caution. Some humidity usually needs to be

allowed to escape. You want the environment inside the glass to be
slightly less humid than the environment in which the mushroom was
grown. If you have problems getting a cap to drop its spores, try using
a piece of paper for the print that fits entirely inside the glass and
spreading out a wash cloth flat on the table. Let the edge of the glass
seal to the wash cloth instead of the paper. This will usually allow
enough humidity to escape to cause the cap to drop spores.
If everything goes well, after a day or two the cap will drop its spores.
Adaptation-26 There will be a purple-brown dust underneath the cap.
These are the spores.
Eye glass lens paper is good source of sterile tissue paper. A box of
waxy tissue paper that deli's use to pick up donuts and rolls is another
excellent source of sterile tissue paper. Card stock (such as a recipe
card) is a bit easier to use later when you want to prepare a spore
syringe, but you have to expend the extra effort up front to sterilize it.
To use card stock, place in a 425 degree F. oven for 15 minutes. Let it
cool with a glass over it before you place the cap on it.
Once you have a spore print on the paper, remove the glass and cap.
Fold the spore print in half and seal the edges so air can not get in. A
piece of scotch tape on each side will do nicely. The spores will stay
viable for 18 months if they are kept in a cool, dry and dark spot. If
you place a small amount of desiccant in the bottom of a film container
and place a cotton ball on top of the desiccant, you have an ideal
container to keep the spore print. The cotton ball will keep the
desiccant from touchi
