hello fellow cannaficionados:
i'm happy to bring you this humble report on shanti's limited Afghan Haze offering. some of you may have seen another report detailing my experience with a particularly Afghan-heavy phenotype of this hybrid (http://www.mrnice.nl/forum/showthread.php?t=616). this grow/smoke report will detail the other side of the extreme, the most impressive & 'Hazy' phenotype of the bunch.
it might be informative for other growers if i convey a little detail on the circumstances in which this Afghan Haze was introduced into the garden. we had wanted to add a Haze-heavy hybrid to the garden, and decided that we would give everyone who was anyone in the world of cannabis seeds a shot at the gold. we acquired several likely candidates from Gypsy Nirvana: Original Haze by the Flying Dutchman, Original Thai Haze x Skunk #1 by the Skunkman, NL5 x Haze by Sensi, Neville's Haze by Greenhouse & last but certainly not least, Afghan Haze by Mr. Nice (i should add that Neville's Haze or SSH would have been much more likely purchases but at the time we were acquiring the seeds, neither were in stock for our desired window of germination).
Shanti's seeds were the most successful, giving us about 7-8 good plants. Greenhouse was second with 4 out of 5 (though out of five seeds, only one was a female-- go figure). Nl5xHaze and both of the Original Hazes were very, very difficult to germinate & consequently we only had a few examples of each to work with. However, what few plants we had from the F. Dutchman and the Skunkman were all males, so they were culled from the competition... see ya, guys!
I won't bore anyone with the tedious details of growth & development, and will instead skip to the final phase... harvest! Of our chosen phenotypes, the details worked out as such: while NL5xHaze was easy to cultivate & yielded nicely, her blown-out, loose flower formations & general medium potency made her an undesirable addition to the garden. Greenhouse's Neville's Haze had a good yield & nice bag appeal; the smoke was pleasant & the high cerebral with a bit of body load, though flavor & aroma were a bit lacking to the point of being nearly absent! from a commercial standpoint, this Neville's-- though the flowers were really just clumps of single-stacked calyxes-- would have been the easiest to add into a crop rotation, in that she didn't stretch more than a handful of inches into flowering & had pretty, resin-coated flowers that would sell themselves.

!) i love small calyx'd tiny-glanded sativa bud as much as anybody, but as a indoor grower with space & economic considerations, i'm better off with something like the SSH that is a little more homogeneous in its characteristics-- that i can both horde in my headstash as well as share with the world!
