old strains

[tokingbuffalo]

hey, i was just wondering if anybody knows where i can get seeds for old-fashoned strains, pref. Panama or Columbia Red or Acapulco gold. like i've found hybrids with these strains but never seeds for the pure strains. Also, i was wondering if theres anywhere to get genuine vietnamese seeds for the kind of stuff they smoked back in the war.i'm just asking cause i want to grow some classic, old school weed when i start growing outside in thespring.

you can't. those IBLs (inbred landraces) are impossible to find.

you best bet is going with an african IBL like durban poison or malawi gold or maybe burmese which are IBL sativas.

haze is nearly 100% sativa too and is mostly based on thai with some mexican sativa in it too. it's one of the top sativa strains in the world if not the #1. arjan's haze might be even better

lien huanh is haze X vietnamese and is supposed to be extremely trippy. get that while you can before it disappears from the last remaining spice brothers stock at drchronic's. like most IBL 100% sativas though... it likes to take 12 weeks to infinity to flower and gets huge. actually, spice brothers had ALOT of pure sativas including 303 & haze etc.

some pther easy to obtain IBLs are the 100% indicas. hindu kush, master kush, hashplant etc.

while NOT an IBL, kali mist is a very special 87.5% sativa. it isn't trippy and paranoid like thai etc. is, but it has a ton of energy and is very euphoric and it's spicy crushed red pepper flavor is very nice. it's rumored to be a favorite of the ladies. it's the 2nd best thing i've ever had after "pinecone thai" from the mid 80s.

africans & burmese are about the only sativa IBLs left that i can think of. even indian kerala has ben crossbred too.

one last note, check out the sativa seedbank. their mexican sativa might be 100% IBL still. i THOUGHT id be getting that in a MIX of strains instead of an actual named hybrid when i bought mixed sativa there. i can say this much, MS was extremely vigorous once it's tiny seeds finally took root as was nirvana's all african hybrid pure power plant

the sad truth is, MOST growers are doing it for $$$ and not love of the best weed possible so they all grow indicas and hybrids. mexican genetics got polluted before the seedbank revolution, but as late as 1990. i got some AWESOME mexican brick that produced razor thin leaves and stretched like the 100% sativa it was. it was pretty decent as far as brick goes too.

that's the best info i have. SOME people claim that they still have IBL strains in clone form, but others say that's a dubious claim.
