I wholeheartedly agree. You'll know when you get it. It smells a bit different than most skunk - someone mentioned garlic, which I think is an apt description for some of the stank mixed in there. I have never seen a "true" Shoreline plant straight from cutting, but whoever accidentally left some seeds in my friend's bag seems to have been trying to breed it - all 5 or 6 of them had very uniform growth characteristics; it just sucked that all but 1 were male. The 1 lucky female my friend got has very similar characteristics to the recurring themes you read about the from-cutting-only growth - longish, ropey plant with normally a few days less than 8 weeks in flowering, and that wonderfully unmistakable smell (Skunk/diesel/garlic). Because of the high, my friend was expecting it to have much more Sativa-esque characteristics and a longer flowering time - 60 days flowering on weed like this sexually excites me. Around the time my buddy started growing, he ordered some Burmese Kush because he wanted something that flowered fast and he didn't know if his "Shoreline" seeds would be good or not. I think it's hilarious that THSeeds got beat out by the bag seed.
Does anyone here grow Shoreline in soil? My friend has noticed that it reeks in his regular ebb-and-flow all grow long, but once he started in soil, it only reeks really bad during harvest/drying, and just a little bit after each watering. After drying, you can open a jar of it and smell it across the house. Anyone have any thoughts/experience with similar phenomenon?
Omg...if you can't tell, I'm so friggin' happy that someone started a full-fledged thread on the Shoreline. I'll try to convince my friend to give me more pics as his current grow progresses... :rofl
