Props to Nirvana

I have used Nirvana's seeds for Y-E-A-R-S, and they are kind of fun in a grab-bag sort of way. I believe that most of Nirvana's seeds are simple crosses, some f-1's and some f-2's in the offerings. so with that in mind what you get is a packet of seeds that is bred toward a specific aim, but not more than one specific aim, like you would get with something back crossed a billion times and breds 'true'. If you want something that breeds with a specific size, pheno, taste and high, you don't buy nirvana seeds. If you want something that could be any pheno, but has a specific taste or a specific high you will probably get what you are looking for in a couple of packets of 10 seeds.

I buy lots of packets and i grow them all out looking for what i want. If it grows rapidly you have a fast matureing and therefore probably fast flowering plant, you rub the stems and leaves at 2-4 weeks and you get a good idea of the aromatics of the plant, you keep anything that smells good, look at the pheno's and deciede what you can live with for height, width and disposition, you look at what the plants are doing with your feeding efforts and pull the ones that don't conform to the way you feed plants. Then you yank the one that grow out male, you yank the little wankers that take 6 weeks to sex, you yank anything that smells like the backside of a bull...unless you desire superstank weed. What you have left often are really good pheno's with pleasant smell and when you grow them out completely you can hunt for the one with the high that you like and clone that baby for years. Nirvana's is a cheep way to find some killer bud (yes, they too have some killer bud potential) for anyone with either lots of time, likes to dick with their plants, isn't in business or doesn't have a huge amount of cash on hand.

I would tell anyone to try Nirvana, because in spite of the pheno's being all over the place and the colours and the flowering times being somewhat inconsistent, they make a good plant for what ever reason. I have a couple of real 'keeper' in my veg room, along with some pricey genetics that cost too damned much.



White Widow: I like Nirvana's WW's high. It's very sativa-y. Acutely high is what i would call it, with no confusion and no stone, just buzz, some energy and excruciatingly peircingly high. Rapid onset, doesn't stick around long...so grow lots. Reddest eyes ever, buy some eye drops.

Papaya: Everyones favorite in the bag, from any pheno of any size grown in any environment. It looks like pot should look. It's 'greasy' in feel...i kid you not, it's greasy like oily in touch not sticky.. with lots of trichs and all of the pheno's smell about the same, stinky fruit mixed with skunk juice, or fruit pulled out of a skunk's ass. The high is a lot like someone hitting you over the head with a hammer, makes communicating a real problem..not that you have many thoughts lefts. I once found that i had spent an hour watching something dumb on tv because i couldn't engage my right hand enough to reach for the clicker on the next cushion over
and forget about sex.

Blue Mystic: Most cure out to a slight berryish flavour, if flavour is your thing i'd buy the bubblicious tho, it's much better on flavour. Balanced high-buzz-stone, with some variation in the plants you grow, some more of one than the other. Some i have found to be confusion causing weed, some aren't, you just have to clone what works for you and yank the ones that you don't like. Some colour blue to purple, most don't. They all make nice triches, small buds but lots of them, and the plants smell great growing. This is a good stealth plant, just look for the lowest odour one you have growing and go with that one. Makes you eat, warning, makes you eat...lots. I once woke to find that i had eaten a bowl of Nutella and noodles mixed together. yikes!

California Orange: You can tell within 3-4 weeks of growing this plant what you have as far as orange smell goes, rub the stems and leaves and select the ones without the skunk hit, and you will find the fruity pheno's. Active high, pretty consistent, no drag, no confusion.

PPP: They need to look at this one for repurposing at Nirvana. They tend to hermie. The others don't.

Bubblicious: This is worth years of hunting in my opinion, because the flavour of the real bubblegum one is worth it's weight in gold. This brand is no different than the expensive ones in my opinion, you still have to find the prize. Rub the plants, cuddle and inhale them, you will know when you find 'the one'. The high is fairly consistent with all the plants tho, happy, content, buzzy and not stoned unless you amber it up a fair bit. Makes you smile, makes you laugh. The prized plant has this unbelievable inhale and exhale of a thick wad of bazooka joe pink bubblegum and it's unbelievabley popular for bong and vape.

Northern Lights: Looks like milk got spilled on a number of this lines pheno's. very white look when it's almost finished, great 'bagappeal' like they say. All high, little body interaction for something that always grows out indica pheno'ed, not buzzy or stoney. It's worth a run, it's fairly consistent and easy to grow and it's a nice smoke. Also a minimal odour weed like the Blue Mystic. Good daytime high without looking stupid or giggly and it doesn't seem to cause much munchies if intake is an issue.

more later, got to go, got to go.

 

More! I enjoy reading strain reviews from companies... I am on the fence about Nirvana and I might have to give them a shot after all... their blue mystic looks interesting!
