Slight change of pace, a shot of the roots. I was pretty amazed by these at the time, i think i kind of thought that they showed a sort of determination on behalf of the plant, wish i had a decent shot of the pot i had the plant in, the picture gives you and idea of the surface area, it was one of those tallish skinny pots. Ghaze was stellar on many levels, really was the kindest of plants to grow...it had an easy going quality to it. Most seedbanks do a G13/Haze now, the best of Amsterdams coffeeshops have it...i was in Barneys last year and the budtender was like "Ooooo, thats a very strong one" when i asked for it, i kind of flashed back to the way back when and thought that Dutchflowers where way ahead of the game, Amsterdam was still selling tourist weed back when Ghaze was clubbin me hard, i remeember it ruining Amsterdam at the time, never thought i'd be sat in a coffeeshop wishing i was at home smoking.

Last shot for now, i'll try and dig out more as we go on, fingers crossed i can find the Green Nepalm stuff. As far as smoke, tatste etc, i'd advise reading the description that Logic provided...the plant was exactly what Dutchflowers said it would be, for Ghaze alone the people at Dutchflowers deserve the respect of the community, though i'm sure they've got that already.

good looking pic's eck and roz
they bring back memories of c-bay
recently planted jojo blowfish s1's and 3lb blowfish f2 #4's for seed stock and i'm glad i did as only 11 plants from 40 seeds popped
damn things must be getting old

i see a lot of folks talking highly of the metal haze but they didn't do crap for me
still have a unopened pack and a bunch of f2's but they are old also and not worth bothering with imho

btw, this site said grasshopper and wtf?_over were not available so i'm the wobbly goblin now in case you were wondering who was talking at ya

fwiw

Thanks Wobbly Goblin, i'm sure that i remember you as Grasshopper, nice to meet up again. Your Blowfish grows sound interesting, be nice to now how the seeds that popped grow on.
Anyways....more Ghaze shots, this time a clone of the previously pictured plant, as has already been said in this thread "better to have loved and lost than never loved before". This should be a shot of the full plant, it's on it's side which is a bit of a shame but i can't alter it.

Just a series of shots of the same plant at the same time.

I'm almost hating doing this...lot of nostalgia.

One thing i love about doing this is that i can still taste this plant....shame that body memory doesn't convert to the high.

Last one for this plant, the close up.

These are some shots of the other Ghaze phenotype that i was lucky enough to experience, i'm guessing you could call this one the creeper phenotype, plant made me laugh like a drain back in the day, i'd never seen anything like it. It was more Haze leaning than the other pictured plant, very racey high with no real sledgehammer to it...just whoooooo with no bang. It's kind of ragggedy assed to look at but this is the from seed, i'd held it in veg for ages. Again, it's sideways, if the mods can do anything at all to straighten them up feel free to do so.

Just a few close ups of the creeper Ghaze.

From memory it shot out a few bannanas but nothing to worry about, the other pheno didn't.

Lastly but not leastly....great plant.

I'll try and find Green Nepalm shots at some point...anyways, a shot of Metal Haze seeds.

Dutch Flowers

Thought everyone would like to see this. This was the first of many successful genetics gathering trips I took to Amsterdam in 1994.

Nice shot Calicannabiseed, i was in Amsterdam for a little while over the summer of 1994 and dropped into Dutchflowers and tried there Bubblegum, great tasting smoke. Not sure the coffeeshops got anything to do with Dutchflowers the breeders though, first time around any link between the two was completely discounted....it's kind of appropriate to have posted this though, the internet and myth and legend and what have you was definitely part of the Dutchflowers mystique. Back then i dreamt that maybe the breeders had a meet in the coffeeshop...would love to know who was behind Dutchflowers...Mr Soul seems a popular guess...who knows. Might be the coffeeshop people but...Dutchflowers are the Loch Ness monster or Sasquatch of Cannabis breeding....again hats off to them for what they did, harnessing the internet in such a positive way. I'll post a shorter thing in the other Dutchflowers thread.

I always thought that Dutchflowers and Spice Brothers were very closely related. Like the same kats just different projects.

that ghaze looked mighty fine eck
too bad i never bid on any

dwb- i doubt dman and fet were df as df had pure artistry in their descriptions
dman and fet? not so much

fwiw

Hi Fidel Castro, much respect to you, i wish i still had the plant, sadly i had to retreat from the growing so lost all the plants that i was running at the time, looking at all these photo's is kind of surreal. The Ghaze was a great plant to grow, it had a real quality to it from seed right the way through, it was easy enough to clone, nice manageable size for indoor growing. Can't remember flowering time to the day but i'm pretty sure that both phenotypes pictured here where between sixty to seventy days, again pretty much perfect. I could go on and on about the plant without mentioning the smoke, even the roots had me astounded, it was like Dutchflowers worked the perfect expression of the cross, the parental selection involved was pretty masterful. Man, the smoke, i was in Amsterdam in October last year and picked up three grams of Haze x G13 from Barneys, the bud tender was like "this is too strong for me", kind of made me giggle, but Ghaze is some powerful smoke, the Dutchflowers description is pretty much spot on, couldn't imagine people passing it up but i can say it's the best i've grown. The shorter phenotype was like a Haze type rush from the first few tokes then you had like a sudden whack from the Indica side of things, it was like the perfect Sativa/Indica high, like a balloon with plenty of balast you just sort of bobbed along just below the clouds, great great smoke. The other phenotype caught me way off guard, i kind of had a preference for the first pheno right the way through the grow, the other plant was like the ugly sister...still beautiful but you know....when she put out the creeper pheno i was pretty much laughing whenever i saw it, kind of like a crazy novelty thing going on then....the smoke was a real ripper, you had the balloon thing expressing the Hazey side but barely any ballast, it was just up, up and away, i remember my first smoke of it left me a sweaty mess, quite extreme, great great smoke but i needed my sand bags to bring me down so focussed on the other phenotype. In hindsight it was the better smoke, another thing i remember from the smoke is that i wouldn't want to puff again for a good few hours, plenty of smokes are great but lack the longevity so they burn up real fast, i was smoking the Ghaze for about a year and i wasn't a big producer. The taste of the smoke was bang on the description Dutchflowers give, a real greasy oily thing going on, i'm not smacking my lips at the memory of it but it kind of matched the high, laying real thick on you.
Hello Wobbly Goblin, yeah, i was very pleased to pick these up, they came as limited release through HS, can't imagine what these would've gone for on C-Bay, i shudder to think. I'm with you on Fet and D-Man not being involved, i'm pretty sure that they got together as the Spice Brothers towards the tail end of the Dutchflowers period, D-Man did come up with some very nice crosses, as did Fet...it's pretty amazing to think that we're seven or more years down the track from the Dutchflowers peak and people are still speculating on who they where, brilliant. Remembered for the plants and not the on-line personalities.
