Yo,
I met Reef for the first time yesterday at the Treating Yourself Expo. Very cool guy to talk to.
I figured some of you might be interested in some brief notes on the goings on.
- He’s been very busy which is mostly keeping him offline lately but he’s not ignoring anyone. He told me what’s been taking up his time but I’d rather not print that here.
- His plant food line is ready to launch. I actually bought a bottle before the Expo and so far have used it for one application.
-His latest release of seeds (Big Bertha, Happy Hindu etc) is now available if you’re looking ye shall find. It looks like for the most part prices have come down a little too.
- I had told him that I was already flowering some Harmony and he reaffirmed with me that he truly believes that Harmony is the best plant he’s ever bred. I’ve been smoking Reefs product since like 2002 or so, so when he says something like that I listen. The true genetics for Harmony are an Og Kush x Santa Marta (LP?) x Thai. He pointed out that the Harmony is not like Love Potion at all so don’t be scared off by the Santa Marta if you’re thinking the strains are going to be similar.
- For those looking to buy the Ultra Early Love strain he advised it’s meant to be grown outdoors not indoors. The finishing time is 6-7 weeks.
- As I believe he’s already mentioned here, he’s retooling his approach to feminized seeds. He has over 100,000 S1’s seeds that he’s not releasing because when the S1’s were made and tested they lacked vigour. He’s now decided to do femmed F1’s where he instead reverses one of the P1 parents and uses that pollen like he would male pollen in his F1 plants. He’s found that fems made this way plants keep their vigour. He believes that S1’s probably work best for polyhybrids as when you make an S1 out of inbred lines you tend to get a plant with lower vigour. His new fems are on course to be released this fall but as always keep your fingers crossed. Anything can happen.
- Quality control is of huge importance for Reef and Co and he wants to make sure his reputation in the regards is AAA.
- Hoa Bac (aka Sliver Flower aka Vietnamese Mindfuck) is in his opinion the best landrace he’s ever worked with (again a bold statement for a man with his catalogue of landraces). He believes that someone must be cultivating it because there are no hermies at all. He finds it hard to believe that a landrace can be growing in that part of the world and have a hermie free population. Not much veg time is needed. I think they can be flowered at about 8 inches and finish in about 12 weeks with a very psychoactive buzz.
- He told me a funny story on the Hoa Bac. A friend of his gave him a bag of the seeds and said “These are as good as anything you’re smoking now and as good as your strains.” Reef of course found that tough to believe. Reef’s buddy wanted to Reef to try a top notch Viet strain as the dude didn’t think the world was getting the best stuff from out of Vietnam. Anyway the dude keeps bugging Reef month after month asking “have you grown them yet? Have you grown them yet?” Finally Reef decided to grown out a few as he didn’t want to hurt his buddy’s feelings. Turns out the guy was right and the beans are very, very good.
- I told Reef that I really thought he was the best breeder ever. As an example I told him about how Cherry Haze, which tends to fly under the radar, was the so good and that I had friends who preferred it to Rez’s Sour D and many other flagship strains. Reef agreed that it was a very under appreciated strain and that he should do more to market it. I forgot to ask him if the true lineage was Cherry BombxPurple Haze or Cherry Bomb x Super Silver Haze. I remember it being originally listed as containing PH but I could be wrong. Everything I’ve seen recently says it’s CBxSSH
- Apple Pie fems!!!!!
- The way Reef describes the smell of Happy Hindu nearly made me hug him. I mean it sounds very, very exotic with a thick smoke that smells of incense and strong hash. I think I may have sprung half a chub imagining the smoking of that strain.
- He also told me a funny story about how they trained 15 plants to fill an entire grow room. The cops busted in thinking they had found the mother load but with only 15 plants filling an entire room there was nothing but a slap on the wrists waiting for the grower!
- I don't think I should have told him how bad a fucked up the Bodhi Saatva grow. I was like "Mine went real long and kept on growing" he said "They take 13 weeks", I said "Mine took like 113 days and they could have went longer" he said, "yeah people tend to grow those in Texas" I thought"I think I'll change the subject now"
We talked for what felt like an hour he told me a bunch of good stuff that I probably left out. One thing I will say is I hope at some point all that right wing stuff that pops up once in awhile can be put to bed. I didn’t get anything like that from Reef. I just saw a guy who likes his fellow human beings and really takes pride in his work. Everyone who approached him was treated with great respect. Hearing him talk about India was more than enough to make you understand that these guy has a real understanding of the world and that we’re all a part of the big picture.
- Peace
