Not to brag, but I have a few new to my collection to go with my Blosser.

Got 1 each of :  La Fuerza, Paradox, Resilience, and Hoffman.... Yay me.  THey are doing quite well.

awesome, maybe you can cross pollinate and raise one from seed. Which one do u like the best, and how did u come across them?

[Merkaba]

Off ebay my friend.  They are small right now, but they grow pretty fast.    How do you cross pollinate?  It would be cool to make a new strain!!!!  I would call it:  G.W. Bush is a FRIGGIN @-hol3 strain!  HAHAHA, Seriously, though, how do you cross pollinate?  The leaves look different in size and arent as jagged looking as the Blossser/Palatable...  

Question for you all, has anyone had different experiences from different strains, or do they effect stay the same throuought the strains?

lol @ the new strain  

Well to make a new strain, u need to make them flower, then take a paint brush and rub it on the the flower of one plant, then rub it on another flower of another strain. Basically you move the pollen manually. Then ask them nicely to go to seed, and try to grow one of the seeds. If that seed grows, thats your new strain right there~

The active ingredient is the same in all, different concentrations in different strains. If im correct, there is also salvorin-b and c, which in differing concentrations(aka different strains) could affect the experience.

I wonder if curing the leaves would do anything to help the potency of the plant...just as one would cure tobacco leaves ...or even as one would do to more illegal plants...
I should try that...except my plant died when I moved...I guess I need to get a new cutting from someone...

Anyway, just a thought.

I put mine in brown paper bags, in a dark closet for a few weeks, then into crumple them into plastic bags for a few months.  Makes a very fragrant mixture.

some people talk of slightly fermenting them, to let  the chloros go off a bit, and turn the leaf black, then bagging them.

Don't pinch  your tops from now until fall, as that really inhibits the main stalk from flowering.
