Pacific NW (USA-Canada) clone only and must have rarities

Hello strain hunters and collectors,

There seems to be a lot of strains that originated from breeding in the Pacific NW, from northern California to BC Canada. Obviously, people across the pond finally got their hands on a pheno of Chem-dawg (thanks to Green House), but how many people outside of the Pac. NW have ever experienced locals like Pez (from Lopez Island), Albert Walker, the awesome sativa Lemon Bomb, or esspecially my favorite, the Permafrost?

I believe that my original cut of the permafrost (from the 70's) would win a cannabis cup in the sativa dominant category if it was known/entered. Bad information on the web claims it is a White Widow/Trainwreck cross, but it predates the widow for sure. I plan on getting lab results on the cannabiniods when I finish my next round, but other peoples results show a mostly THC-sativa result. The buds have an indescribable scent, resembling mint, menthol, pine, licorice, acrid spicyness, and a collaboration of smells too complex for any expert to pinpoint.

Even a young veg-ing clone has pink undersides on the leaves and a characteristic dark, reddish-purple stem. The finished buds look like a turquoise/ blue-green that reminds me of the color of glacier water flowing from the mountains, and a surprising pink all over. The plant litterally requires no trimming when finished; the fan leaves have as many trichomes as the calyxes. Individual leaves and calyxes become fuzzy and indistinguishable from one another after a couple weeks of flowering because of the tiny single calyx size (often only one or two mm) and even coating of resin on all parts of the plant material!

I would love to see it in Europe for the first time! I'm sure I can stress a female to make pollenation possible; I might have room to try to make feminized seeds in the near future...

Peace and good growing,

i see your love for the plants in your words ^^

That seems like a nice description, it would be cool to see a final bud see if we can get the turquoise/ blue-green you're talking about on camera ^^

Anyway sounds like a nice smoke, wish i could be near to try it and tell more what i think ;)

Thanks for sharing

Yes, Williams Wonder has been one of the only strains out of hundreds that I bought from the local dispensary that was completely satisfying in every way. There's also the famous outdoor strain Texada Timewarp originally from Texada Island, BC; I have had it while snowboarding in Whistler with Bubbleman. It's a very sweet strain that is a well kept secret. As a matter of fact, almost all of the islands in the Strait of Georgia and Salish Sea have there own strains and micro-cannabis culture. The town of Ganges on Saltspring Island has some of best cannabis on the planet, I know for a fact. It is rumored that the cannabis culture in BC was started around the time of the Vietnam War, when American draft dodgers and peace lovers hopped the border to avoid conflict and carry the hippy movement where is still exists today. The islands today are populated with the children of weed and peace loving hippies who moved there to keep thier way of life! You can imagine how strains popped up and remained local. These island plants are bred to finish early, winter weather, dark cloudy days, and week-long rains would ruin these crops if they didn't finish Sept-Oct...

I consider BC to be the weed capital of the West, not California. There are great coffeeshops and smoking lounges all over "Vansterdam" but concentrated to the "Pot Block". There are even coca tea bars and opium lounges in Vancouver if one knows where to look...

I know the man you speak of personally. He was a bit of a mentor to me, and I think of him every day that he is locked up and shed a tear for Jodie as I write her and watch her broadcasts at Cannabisculture.com. Marc Emery still has 868 days left on his sentence as he sits in Mississippi, ironically only short drive from where I grew up and where no one advocates cannabis because of traditional conservative beliefs. The US govt basically put him where they knew no one local would care... It's really shamefull for the USA to do such a thing, and it's why I want to move back to Canada soon.

hmmm loks like a nice strain, i like her red stem so this strain is originated from a cold place right?

It would be nice if you had the white balance setup on your camera, cause you must have lots of wattage o hps to make your pics look that much orange. If you have white balance it would be paradise to see real colors of that girl ;)

don't know that tungstun thing ^^

On mine there is white balance setup, you put a white paper sheet underhps take picture of it and it calibers the white regarding the color of the white paper sheet so that way you have very real colors ;)

But mine is broken now lol borrowed one doesn't do it anymore unfortunatly ^^

Thanks for the advice on the white balance adjustment, Dust. I gave an adjustment or two, and the colors look more true. The plant is actually still more pink than these photos show. I think photographing it in another room with natural lighting before harvest will show the best, as well as dried pics later. The world is missing out until permafrost goes global!! There aren't enough sativas and sativa dominant hybrids of 5 star excellence, so this is certainly a gem of a plant...

Day 70, harvestable now, but I will flush for 5 more days or so on this hydro/organic masterpiece. I like to super ripen all of my buds for the most enjoyable smoke...

Here are a few shots of the dried Permafrost. It's still on the plant and not yet trimmed, but you can see some of the colors I mentioned earlier. I have another plant that is even more pink to photograph later! ;) I took these photos hastily; not my best work, but I will post better when I jar it...

beautiful plant man yeah i love being from canada we have a lot of amazing strains that are very unknown in the cannabis world i sometime sit back and think how much people are missing out on flavour and variety because of this new kush craze. dont get me wrong kush is amazing but crossing kush varities with everything makes for bland smoke everything ends up smelling like og kush and its become a standard where most people think if it dosent smell like kush it isent good weed and thats a real shame because there are so many unique strains and flavors out there.

that is why i love canada i meen we have an amazing selection of kushies as well but for the person who is vigilant and scearhs for unique rare marijuana strains to the point where it becomes more of an obsession then a hobby there is a gold mine of rare strains just waiting to bne unearthed it gives me hope that there is a future for the seed business in canada, and that all it will take is a few talented breeders and strain hunters to put canada in the forefront once again.

actually one of the things i like about green house is that they arent as obessed with kushies as most strain companies yet they continue to win cup after cup and are one of the biggest seed companies in the world. they used alot of skunk varieties and haze plus the world class sativa's that are actually sativa dominate where so many companies now a days
