I’d be interested in trying it with you and sativa is easier to grow in my zone. But close friends are pushing me more toward indica. I’m thinking laid back is more to my liking and less hallucinogenic. Does it sound like I’ve got it right? Thank you my brother!

Washing is a technique for making hash. Uses green bud and ice and a bucket lol

On one hand you can make bubblehash. And in some cases you can also wash your plants at harvest when you had any pests

@Marc Brings up something I need to ask the brother/sisterhood. I’ve just noticed yesterday, and no horror at all yet, an green inch worm on my plant. Looked very, very close at all the rest and nothing. Is this what you wash for? And how? Thank you!

Have to take your word for it and I do. Missed out on that in those days (job) and busy raising boys. But I’m sure glad folks are paying attention to that issue. BTW, Welcome!
For me it would definitely be a strong skunk. I have been searching for a true roadkill skunk for years. With so many crosses and fruity strains being bred into everything it’s hard to find a good skunk or cheese that has the old school stank. I just really miss the old school eyes red and burning wanting to eat everything in the house and just reeking of skunk and not a tropical fruit
. Give me the skunk I smoked with my friends in highschool at parties. Bring back my best memories 
I believe everyone should get to smoke some true stanky original skunk it’s not like anything else

Yep i agree with ya there. A lot of the old time strains like the true skunk with a FR skunk smell are being bred out or lost. Its like this new generation want nothing but fruity or dessert

I kinda feel that is being pushed by the breeders, that seems to be all that they “make”

Lot of good strains mentioned so far, and it’s very hard to make a decision here.
If we lost everything, how would we start over?
Preserving landraces are the priority. We can get to where we are now in less than half the time due to the number of breeders and the information we now hold.
The Strain:
Of those landraces, few are as important as Afghani #1. Going back in time to the early 80s, this is the only strain that was on the menus for the early seed banks like Sacred Seeds in Santa Cruz, CA, and it is still available today.
Who bred it:
Old families in the Hindu Kush range of mountains in Afghanistan.
What made it special:
This was the first stable breeding strain discovered by growers in the late 1970s.
It was Afghani #1 that Dave Watson crossed with Acapulco Gold for the first cross in creating Skunk.
It was Afghani #1 that Seattle Greg crossed with Steve Murphy’s Purest Indica to make Northern Lites (lights).
It was Afghani #1 that Serious Seeds used to tame the sativa in AK47.
The indica used for most Humboldt and Mendocino County strain creations was Afghani #1.
Memories:
My earliest memory of this strain comes just after the Skunk rush in the late 1970s. One day it appeared in everyone’s pocket. Someone let the cat out of the bag and everyone started growing and smoking it. By 1982, you could find it anywhere in California, for $10 an eighth.
Why preserve it:
There are strains/varieties we know today that never would have been possible without this important strain. AK47, Cali Orange, Northern Lites, Skunk, and the list goes on. We could not get back to where we are today without it. It must be preserved!
So yeah, Afghani #1 is easily one of the three most important strains out there for preservation. The other two are Highland Thai and Santa Marta Colombian.

I would preserve the old roadkill skunk as a clone because the skunk thiol gene is recessive and hard to find now days. Anytime i’ve grown a skunk variety from seed it will be fruity and no skunk. It’s sad to think it’s basically gone and nobody else will get to taste or even smell that skunk from down the road.

Hello and welcome 
if you have any questions about growing feel free to ask
My Ultimate Forever-MVP: Humboldt’s Blueberry Muffins 
Listen, as a grower here in Missouri, if the world is ending and I can only grab one plant lineage to throw in my survival backpack, 
it is hands-down Blueberry Muffin by Humboldt Seed Company. When your body is throwing a daily temper tantrum like mine is, you need a strain that actually behaves—and this one is a literal saint in a pot.
The Breeder (No Mystery Muffins Allowed!)
Elite Pedigree: This isn’t some sketchy “mystery muffin” seed found at the bottom of a drawer. It’s an elite, award-winning creation from the geniuses at Humboldt Seed Company. They perfected it by crossing Purple Panty Dropper (PPD) and Razzleberry
The F9 Magic: It’s a stable F9 lineage. In grower-speak, that means she does what the label says she’s going to do every single time. No genetic wild cards or dramatic surprises here!
Award-Winning Royalty: She solidified her celebrity status by taking 6th place at the 2017 Emerald Cup. She’s kind of a big deal.
The Family Tree: Some variations of this 80% Indica hybrid cite a lineage involving the legendary original Blueberry (created by DJ Short) and Afghani. She’s also closely related to other iconic “blue” royalty like Blue Dream, Blue Zkittlez, and Blue Cheese.
What Makes It So Freakin’ Special?
The Smell (No, Seriously): It doesn’t just have “notes of fruit.” It smells exactly like a tray of fresh-baked blueberry muffins just popped out of the oven. 
And yes, it tastes exactly like a bakery on the exhale, too. It’s so precise it’s almost confusing to my brain!
Speed Demon Status: It finishes its indoor flowering cycle in roughly 45 days. That is genuinely faster than I can decide what I want for dinner most nights.
The “Look How Good I Am” Glow-Up: The buds are thick, frosty, and explode into beautiful shades of dark green colas with vivid purple and blue flakes, all accented by burnt-orange pistils. It’s the kind of gorgeous plant that makes you look like a master grower, even if you’re just winging it.
Outdoor Flexibility: If you take her outside, she loves a Mediterranean climate and is ready to harvest between September 15th and October 10th.
Pro-tip: use topping and the Screen of Green (SCROG) method to really maximize those giant yields!
My Experience (The “Please Stop My Joints From Creaking” View)
The VIP Treatment: I am so deeply obsessed with this plant that I am currently gutting my 8x10 metal grow room to transition from a standard DWC to a full Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) system just for these ladies. They deserve the absolute queen treatment, and I’m giving it to them!
The Smooth Factor: A lot of medicinal strains are way too harsh, this one gives a smooth, sweet smoke that doesn’t leave me hacking up a lung. Future growers deserve a strain that tastes like dessert and hits like a warm hug.
Human Status: (Restored) It is the only thing that helps my joints feel like they belong to an actual human instead of a old creaky 1920s truck floorboard. 
Why Future Growers Need to Save It
Therapeutic Heavy-Hitter: It packs a potent punch (usually between 20% and 28% THC) and is absolutely loaded with a complex terpene profile dominated by myrcene, caryophyllene, and bisabolol.
The Pain Crusher: Caryophyllene is a total powerhouse for chronic pathological pain like fibromyalgia and provides major anti-inflammatory benefits.
The “Daytime” Indica: Unlike some heavy indicas that lock your bottom to the couch for six hours, this is an uplifting “daytime” indica. It gives you a happy, euphoric, and delightfully “goofy” 
boost in energy and creativity before settling into total physical relaxation. It lets you chill without turning your brain into actual mush, making it perfect for managing anxiety, stress, and depression.
Reliability: In a world full of “hype” strains that are more finicky and dramatic than a toddler who was handed the wrong colored cup, Blueberry Muffin is wonderfully stable and uniform.
The Bottom Line: Honestly, we need to preserve this strain forever because life is hard enough—your medicine should at least smell like a delicious breakfast!

Nearest I can get info on is that it’s an inch worm. Certainly very few. It’s just all the info I digested about bugs has me shaky on everything I see! And I’m getting so close on these beautiful NL autos. Very impressive and from the terp I think it could make me a real toker instead of boring one hit wonder! LOL

Chocolope takes the cake and the strain I would preserve! The first real “sativa” experience I ever had and a memorable one at that.. see when an experienced grower grows and cures Chocolope you dont just get a good high… you get a delectable experience that can lead to even more great experiences like getting laid for having the best weed around.
