Garlic Bud?

Wow.......

Uhhhhh....Thanks Dogless for you contributions to the cannabis community at large.

This site is amazing sometimes........
 
For so many years the flavors & aromas I thought was my favorite, I always seen as ah garlic bud. Especially the cut that if you just put a bud down on the counter for a mili sec, comet, bleach it, whatever, it stains the aroma for life! Loss many jackets to that strain.

I know a lil of garlic bud & shiva skunk, but I found my funk cut in a Black Widow!

I miss-labeled the flavor & bouquet profile all this time. I thought what I loved was garlic, but I was wrong.

Those flavas that I so much love have now been identified as what I call,
The Green Onion Widow & she can make you bleed from the eyes!
Obvious to the name, she has that addictive onion stain funk that working with green onions give you. You know after you wash your hands they're still funky & you keep smelling them:D

Just thought I'd say something, love that onion widow!

Galic bud

I have a Guerreran green pheno, that i got in 89, that I still have, she has never been tagged with pollen , I have yet not found a worthy male.

But she has been selfed lots,only when I couldnt keep her in plant form, when moving and such.

She always looks the same, and yet to find any of her selfed beans,that are any better then her, or at least I am not good enough to tell LOL, or to greezzy from her.

Now I have an SSH that i got in 94 which i still have, she is a little different now, she has been tagged and selfed, lots and have always found a better version of her, so she is not as stable yet,but still having fun with her.

The Guerrero I have is the best I have atm, she is a solid 3 hours, and I have not stopped since i started to toke , 1985.

She has the smell of , what i call garlic/menthol.

Thick smoke but not harsh, you feel her when you hit it , but very smooth.

She has the most unique look of anything that I have grown. She finishes with gray/green hairs, she has a very light green cured look,she is what I call classic green bud, never a orange or red hair to her .If you get her at just cloudy, she has an almost lime green look, if clear she looks a little darker.

Very fat calyx ,looks like green cotton balls,very broad spear head shaped, overlapping green leaves.

Smells like she tastes from tip to lip (go get a clove of garlic and some catnip,and a halls cough drop ,rub them all together and take a whiff, !!) thats what she smells like. . Even a burnt roach in a pile of good roaches , she stands out.

has what I call a social greezzyness about her,clear but relaxed, chatty. Makes you want to hug everyone . And I am kind of an uptight fuc...er and she makes me chill the hell out , and get in my chi.

Will post some pics, soon her in veg, and flower,and cured. Hey thought i would add what I use for fert . I use GH 3 part and Lilly Miller ALASKA MORBLOOM,

I use this same ratio from start(veg) to fin(flower) and have never had one complaint , 1.5 Tsp of micro, 1.5 Tsp grow, .5 Tsp bloom, .5 Tsp of moorbloom.( per Gal) Your EC/PPM will very ,depending on your grow space/ but dont go above 2.2 and dont go below, 1.2, top off rez daily and ph not one rez change, ill post some pics soon .
oops add. keep your PH between 5.8 to 6.4 let it drift.

But the main thing is , no matter what you do is to stay consistent! Remeber this plant lives and dies in a year. So a single day is a very long time to a plant.


It is close to a 1-1-2 NPK.

The plant will tell what it wants, when it stops drinking N, start to flush,4 days after that, If you run this mix you shouldnt see any issues unless your PH is outa wack

stay Greeeezzzyy

GARLIC BUD exact description 1990 seed bank catalogue

Hi all :)
Below is a link with further information on garlic bud if anyone is interested. A few years ago now I worked with a local line that seemingly took ages to finish. When sampled it was very much garlic in taste, and I had ultimately hybridized it with an Indica dominant MNS F1 Mango Haze. Maybe one day Ill see what comes of this union?


Who created - The Shiva plant ? - MNS Forums
This is the exact description from the 1990 seed bank catalogue operated by neville. This heavy yeilding variety is named for it's penetrating Indica fragrance, not exactly like Garlic, but almost as strong. You won't have garlic breath after smoking this one, so don't worry, but you will get stoned. We gave this one a B+ for taste and potency, an excellent score for such a heavy yielder. Superior indoor performance, top commercial possibilities.
Indoor Data:
Height at 100 days: 40-60 inches
Flowering period at 12 hours of darkness: 50-55 days
Yield at 100 days: up to 125 grams
Price: $45
 
i would second jesse in that garlic bud does carry the strong essence of its namesake but it has been a few years since i last had seeds however, this past autumn i grabbed a jar that had not seen use since that time yet still retained a strong aroma of garlic. and btw, i am speaking of a jar with no lid and a smell that seemed to permeate the glass?

one more piece of current events; a grower pal bought and planted a pack of sensiseeds maple leaf indica this past season and was pleased with the results. this is good news in light of the problems sensi has had with its breeding efforts the past few years resulting in too numerous complaints online. if one reads between the lines it appears the fewest problems are among the indicas? not that it matters much to me anymore. their gear is too expensive and customer service is too poor for me to gamble on any of their seeds again. peace-biteme
 
Who can tell me something about this strain? It is on my wish list. Thank you for any knowledge. Much appreciated.
I got a hold of few grams of Shiva Shanti in '97 i think. It was one of the few things that made me hug the toilet seat....I still remember that 15 minutes of agony and self promising that I'll never smoke again...after an hour we smoked some more of course.
Very nice indica punch, far better than quite a few things on the market nowadays. It would be nice to see the original seed stock available once more :D
 
I know a lil of garlic bud & shiva skunk, but I found my funk cut in a Black Widow!

I'm so happy to read this. I came here to find out if anyone had encountered a garlic smelling plant. I was getting excited about a plant I suspect will be a male. It's growing very well and has given off a nice scent from virtually the beginning. But today while smelling it I was surprised by how much it reminded me of garlic, like the garlic was going to become the dominant scent, and I worried that maybe garlic isn't a desirable scent.

Now I'm excited again. :D

Oh, it's from a Black Widow pack too.
 
I took a few clones. But the plant has taken on a sweeter funk during flowering. There's a lot going on. I'm looking forward to seeing how she finishes. But I don't really pick up that unique -to me- garlic now.
 
She's just starting to frost up a bit.

What EC/ppm are you running ATM? Lower ppm's will give more smell and taste and higher yields bigger LESS smelly buds. Find the sweet spot.

IOW back off some and see if the smell comes out.

Thanks for the advice yellowjacket. I don't have this one anything like dialed in. Hopefully I can find her sweet spot on the next run.
 
From the look o the bud its not too late yet. Flush then back off the nutes and see if the smell picks up. If it does feed less and get the smell yer lookin for. Too many folks concentrate on bigger buds and lose the smell and taste IMO.

B there when the lights come on and see if theres a difference. Wakin up and puttin out the stink.

What was runoff like when ya flushed? EC/ppm, ph?
 
Out of stock and $20/seed, and your #21 haze crosses at $22/seed. Gosh the most I’ve paid for top tier sats here at MNS has been <$7/seed (full price NH, MH, SSH- real cup holders) and garlicky Black Widow goes for less than $4/seed. I've even found garlic in Shit. I should pay extra for the privilege of getting high bc garlic or something, why? Thanks for stopping by 😉

Musashi deleted my response to his comment. I'll be releasing the full details in my article and exposed it on national Television. Imagine Nevil's friend, me, getting treated like trash here.
