I agree , same here with beans.... \ speaking of beans
A story of a seed adventure, it can be mythical or real, I'll leave it up to your imagination,
I go on seed hunting vacations. I have a story from this summer bout Grn Eyes and the mythical legend of the Real "Shiatsu Strain" from a Japanese Island of the Samurai Warriors so off to LA, A venture on a bicycle to find a guy who had this rare strain in LA Cali that led me to the biggest seed trading market I have seen in my life and the most dangerous area I have seen in the USA.
1000's of selections;
on the black market in LA and some of these sellers looked desperate and homeless so for moment I felt like I would be getting ripped off by people that were just scraping seeds together (I'm sure thats what many were doing). Much of this was in the open on table displays (anything and everything) the common type of products seemed to be grouped together in the same area's kinda . There were No Cops and very little functional plumbing in this hood, sewage in the streets and open sewage running down Cali water ways, this is 3rd world shit, I couldnt believe my eyes,... I took a bus and my bicycle and got lost by downtown LA , not good,,, that place looks cool when your a tourist but get a bike and go ride around, I found a street person to help me and would have been in more serious danger without her advice. She led me rite to Grn Eyes ALSO! in this this hood. You can buy anything and everything in this area as I heard about, I was lost and dont know this area; but there were 3 huge Gov funded building (skycrapers for homeless people ) I'm guessing within miles from downtown LA. This Hole area was fucking crazy! Take my advice-Dont deal from anywhere but on the street. The area is segregated in ethnic groups, if your with a known person from that area, HomeLess person, you can trade SEMI-safely and listen to the homeless person advice on trades, if not;, you should have armed bodyguards , its that scary. You can trade with various ethnic groups from the street , do not go into their personal area's . stay on the street, do not go by the train tracks or off streets down by water ways. 10 city blocks can be very different in that hood... You can Buy any kind of bud, seeds, paraphernalia, drugs, bombs, slaves, anything a guy could desire,. my tablet lost its GPS an phone connection, I was lost with no communication, like i was in war zone, also-my homeless friend had me stash my phone and GPS tablet... I didnt realize what I was getting into on this trip. LA is not the place I used to visits and grow bud 20 years ago,,, very sad,,, the paradise is gone.
here is some of my collection...
The taste, flavor, high of ONE plant will ONLY be as diverse as the crosses of strains thru propagation that make of your seeds, otherwise all your flavors and highs are similar, like 99% of what we enjoy in most of the cannabis today. My collection started in 1972.
