( Diesel #2)cont' Stretchy with space between nodes. Which is the one more common . I have bred that orig diesel from the 70s to over a dozen strains over the years ( IBL) and it is nine times out of ten dominant over whatever it's bred to and made the Bubba better and Og Kush and even my favorites headstash and even the Neville's Haze I cherish so greatly . I actually crossed it ( Diesel I call it west coast ) in the 80's and made a Auto flower variety that is very dependable and hardy with potential to obtain a decent harvest if grown correctly and grown in the ground .It does need 24 hr of light from the beginning for 14-21 days. Needs to be in 7 gallon container or bigger after 5-7 days,otherwise yield is greatly compromised. People do not relate to how fast these root It is the number one issue w lackluster results and low yields! And wasn't really able to make progress with the first marketed Autos after getting the orig Rudaralis Skunk and Rud Indica which well we're kind of a disappointment to begin with although the Alaskan Thunder Fuck was a Auto by the breeder's of the Orig Matanuska Thunder Fuck ( pure sativa) and was one of the best quality autos and shows you the dedication and skills of the Palmer farmers who also did many other crosses w the orig pure Sativa . The rud Indy n sk we're all I could get my hands on thru the Amsterdam channels in the 80's and expected to have something in auto form that would finish statewide by mid August that was always the goal to finish fast,mold free,highest quality possible,and breeding stability thru best to best summer after summer and breeding outdoors in multiple locations statewide from Southeast Ak to test for mold resistance ,to the mountains around my home in thé Matanuska Valley to the Denali park specifically Cantwell where my best friend ran jet boat tours and we were able to put out our fair share of Autos and decided what stayed in our breeding programs where hot weather in the 90s followed our grows up north in Tok Alaska and even into whitehorse Canada where I worked the Mighty Mite and many others from my Canadian team. My bro Seedmeister Sean from Valdez AK was Marc Emery's head breeder n grower so I was very lucky to have him helping with new strains to trips in other countries which when my buddies were buying corvettes I was taking expensive trips to obtain genetics . Many times more than once. I did this very carefully for too many years and spent well over 100 g just on Auto genetics,Rud,sub species even rarer w no Rud but w Auto traits and high THC but mostly dwarf and low yields. Kinda like the Crystal Dwarfs which still has it's qualities for breeding but after others controlled there's thru fem breeding and polluted the genealogy right off the bat I continued breeding only makes and females and let my bro do the fem stuff the customers begged for and paid for more trips . We conservatively spent over 500 k just on travels,bahijjis,guides,and all the hidden things from security to helping villagers w wildfire relief to buying gardening equipment to expand there hashish making fields but we're shocked when I left the hash for the Indigenous seeds many times ones that were discarded due to low THC were done away with and was given gallon size baggies of high CBD ,CBN,etc seeds not valued for hashish and not there best for fiber. So many close calls . Dogs sitting by my bags cause I smoked to much hashish and my clothes reeked of it but no hash ever . No seeds were ever found on or near me . Those things costed money and my family best of friends and kids were unaware of my tight circle of just a few. Which were essential to bring our seed bank to epic proportions with well over 2000 strains ,exclusives in the hundreds with years of breeding in multiple states and decades in Hawaii on 3 islands of trustworthy elders now some of there children have grown and are eager to follow there well respected parents and only a few of the guys stuck it out into there 60's some knocking on 70 with years of earned dedication and respect I always respected the Aloha Aina and gave more than I was gifted always and that was a crazy journey within itself but breeding plots were always my main focus and not weight . It allowed for a Winters stay and a key or two to gates not given up without much thought and trust which allowed for the pure famous Hawaiian strains to stay pure and spread out into vaults and is my second home in many respects now with Maui overgrown to much now and the big island chasing me and my plots around with lava so nothing was ever easy peasy but much valuable ground was made and still is with over a dozen diesel crosses way past the IBL some into 2 decades . In 81 I took the Swazi in seed and cut form to Maui and the Kona Side of Hawaii and possibly another little not so touristy island and was not asking for a thing in return wow how crazy that all turned out with it jamming and the pheno I was gifted by ole Gary Woodard in Ak.was a 11 week flower so with 1 - 3 weeks of veg or for many straight into flower great results were achieved and led me to be gifted family strains some without the Maui Waui famous type names but we're kept many times between brothers and cuzs not a haole boy from AK. We've achieved a solid seed bank for Jamaica, Colombia,Puerto Rico and others that have high humidity and 12 hr seasons regularly. With over 100 solid strains ready to move into other projects and many of the hyped strains now bred in a Maui Gelato Colada is inbred ,non released and some are available for exclusives if your into helping others not yourself first ... My dude Carlos thanks for not listening and growing 20 g of Og type strains getting hit with a devastating 2 week storm at flower / harvest stage .losing over a acre of Cali elite genetics molding and dying and putting a few in the ground like I requested even the ones in 10 gallon bags ( half full of avg soil) still kicked ass and survived when nothing else did that was a shocker to me as well but the ones in the ground proved they were worthy and still love to listen to your messages and glad you have molded that strain even further with no one knowing it's a Auto flower just Diesel fire mon...ha ha with my Diesel Autos standing firm with a quarter pound of dried flower it loved Jamaica which I love ... and providing more seeds that are just a little different now due to mother nature and things like that are my wealth and I take those kinda things to heart .Thanks Seedmeister Sean,Hobbit,Bear,Bahaijji E,BlackWater Bros. S . B. D. and Edgar Gamez my hermano from Colombia So so much for all your help none of this would have happened the ability to use culvert contacts so I had little to worry about was kept at a minimum.Marc Emery for the Cannabis Cafe days from opening the doors to skyscrapers (with floors) of weed it all helped me think outside the box and respect my freedom even more when Sean said sit this one out. I did and Marc Emery was introduced to The USA Cannabis Cops but we'll again that's getting kinda off point but none of this would have ever taken place if all the things happened just the way they did Many places let's use The Phillapino Brother who I helped with his family farms but he was fond of remote Cannabis that's really one of a kind .. while we risked our lives yes death to seed smugglers or life for anything over 10 grams including seeds. All your contacts had to be the best period. Pakistan one of my favorites but sketchy at best taking mules into remote areas were worth the risk I somehow told myself after my pre war Afghani seeds came in I went off to find the sub species Afghanistan,these were no fly much less seed fkin hunting for cannabis So I researched Indigenous wild varieties and spent years tracking down pure Ruderalis examples from our neighbors in Russia and after years and years realized there were Ruderalis examples in far away places such as Mexico and China which were highly valuable for my breeding purposes and learning experiences. Autos were lots of trial and error and mostly more error than success for the first decade but the Diesel and Haze always were keepers from the start up . When told I couldn't or didn't have or could make a Thai Stick Auto I banged my head against the wall til I figured out the Thai Stick issues with being a Hermie strain which is inaccurate really but that's another story and spent 15 years before passing it on to Reeferman but continued to develop it into a Monster and started the so called super Autos and error by man made Thai a known Hermie strain but I will save my speech on Landraces being wild and the self pollinating is well a survival mechanism but my opinion only not Science and is usually avoidable in most cases ...ha ha but not in the seed if grown correctly and not over fertilized ,PH ,or fed cold water like I did in Alaska to begin with and tried to grow it like my other varieties without feeling the strain out thru investigation and studying it a little like others from Africa ,India,Philippines ,or one of my breeders that was worth waiting and writing lots of letters ,reading Encyclopedia and we're pure indigenous strains and needed to be grown as close to there origins and this keeps them closer to being pure which here in Alaska or elsewhere can be challenging at times over the years . I grew lots of Sativa's like the MTF during summer months and brought them in under a barn or shops to flower and that changed the genetics a little so I went back and grew them from start as close to where they were from to keep the original seeds I was gifted in most cases thru sharing w others and being a dedicated apprentice to Cannabis and Hemp and traveling for 25 years in search of mother Sativa with my Bahaijji's now mostly but not always but keeping things sacred and true to my promises and if asked to keep this temple strain to myself then I did but always asked if I could breed it out like I still do . Always giving to the communities and villages,temples,farmers and hashishians more than they ask for or a unexpected gift they out the year allowed my return 99% of the time but wasn't why it was about securing the strains not on lists not owned by big pharma or big Ag and keeping them with my lawyer etc etc The locals and men in the mountains ,the bahaijjis who are usually in disbelief I'm after seeds n not kilos of hash ha ha . Do enjoy the spiritual aspect and the ceremonies gifted . All of it . And after 40 years I don't buy into the master grower title nor do I believe a fancy name of your strain holds weight in 20 years if it's hernie n shit for others really ? There marketing and hype win Cannabis Cups but mostly it's money. And will put many of 70s strains up against the Gorilla Cookies Zkittles hype type militias and yes there are many older strains with high THC naturally but the cannabinoid (terpene) profiles on the original Diesel and many others that made the diesel add purity to dominate any new school strain when crossed with it. ...the diesel makes em better in yield ,
terpenes,total cannabinoids and true medicinal value ,etc etc . I believe the Dubb (Diesel) is a great example as well maybe just a different phenotype of the Original is possible ?? Where are those 70's hippies or the vets that brought us those great strains to chime in and tell us what genetics make up the original diesel? The Vietnam strains are high quality and with 3 great examples including the silver those are examples directly of what Vietnam did without War .. I know enough to say that the diesel ( Cali not east coast to clarify that if your not on point ) has Afghani dominating it but I've been wrong many times so clarification from the sources is always best of they know ? But can't tell you if it has Pakastani or a Durban or maybe a Jamaican fuck I don't know do you ? that adds fuely, kerosene,jet fuel aroma to it so if your out there Original Diesel guys .... please chime in and tell us the breakdown on this wonderful strain that is the mother of so many great ones.....! We are doing lots of breeding projects with many Indigenous sourced strains and our main goal always is to safeguard these hard to obtain strains,source there roots and country of origin etc so we feel confident putting them out on the market with the best examples and True Backgrounds and is why sometimes it's worth 20 g on that trip to pick phenos we could do indoors and out without being in the Kandahar mountains or the Hindu Kush Mountains and totally duplicating God's work right ?Our team is all apprentices and will always be specially since were in the infancy of Legalized Cannabis / Hemp and all the great things developing like testing and labs w new tech ,Scientists just studying Pot lol , Pot Doctors and new technologies that are developing as we speak ! so to say your a Master Grower is your choice but just being dedicated to the plants and your fellow employees/workers and realize it's not a competition but to team up together and put our heads together and compile data and info to help others not to benefit yourself and or your bank account that's driving many folks who are masters to themselves a master isn't a title that makes you the best or better really !? All these seeds are gifts and we share them but there not our strains and have to catch myself in my old age I just meant I worked the genetics did my best and passed them on to those who need them most and with helping others as our main objective . If you wanna put a fancy hyped name on it and market the fu#k out of it and make millions power to you I guess that's Good biz. Happy trails to all of you . And please give me a shout if you'd like to try some diesel autos out if you like our full lines are out after our protection plan is official in 2023. But heck hit me up personally I'm not in control of these neither is the government oh heck yes they are in control of 70+ %✓ of listed strains and if it's on the net you can bet it's in there hands now in most if not all cases . Very easy for them to toss some pollen around that's genetically altered if you question that one how you think they did Corn to 90 % altered state ?? But the take away is let's go source you a strain of your own . You pick the pheno from thousands and I'd love to help you with that . We have a great plan in place with trips starting at 12 g no strain no pay . That's cost of travel ,lodging ,bahaijjis ( cannabis keepers n guides) remote transportation can be mules to A Star helicopters but if not go walkabout yourself I'd love to point you in the right direction just cause ... Posted some Diesel Auto pics will dig up some other examples like Jamaica etc . The one is the pure MTF grew to the ceiling of our shop and tied and back down. This was the One pheno leaning towards the Vietnam pheno that was also very trippy and to say this is Vietnam dominant wouldn't be accurate . There are 6 pure Landrace Sativa's in the pure MTF inbred by late 74. Airy but fire for a pure Sativa trippy like headspins ,1or 2 beers max and you were sick but not all people reacted the same but people used to say is that laced w PCP? Heck I never did that stuff so don't know what it's like . Mushrooms maybe with visuals and colors enhanced but was a roller coaster up for 30 minutes now tunnel vision with stars etc. Most would see stars and get head spins off the phenos but was very good great high if you took on two hits . Anything beyond that was wheelchair ,lose your keys girlfriend,wreck your buddies rig and yours all one trip if you and buddy burnt a whole joint totally too much with head n body saying what just happened . 2 hits and I'd rip my XR 75 til gas tank was empty push er home fill ér up take one hit and just feel like I was one w my bike ha ha . Half a joint and crash crash crash laugh laugh etc .I will try to add more pics w the crosses Myles put in which were across the board w Afghani,Kush Diesels ,and later last crosses were the Northern lights and Chemdog ,Crippy or my fav Pre Og called Just Hindu Or later renamed the BoBo. Awesome cross but was definitely heavy on the Hindu side . The burnt rubber Afghani and the Af Cherry were also ones people said we're best weed they ever smoked . Still do but there watered down to say the least on the pure sativa MTF . Facts . Can one person tell.me how the MTF got its name .? Since there are so many who swear they smoked it or there Uncle knew a guy kinda thing . How did it get its name folks ? What is the Alaskan Thunder Fuck?hint hint Not the same ! Did you know it grew at the Alaska State Fair first 2 years ! Anyways It's a very misunderstood strain and was only sold to a few and no cuts or seeds were circulated . You had to steal it which none got by with or work shoveling out bull shit outside the school buses and keep your mouth shut . The school buses and Colby / Wallace pits in log chains and was grown in Palmer when hippies and Vietnam vets joined for agriculture land rumored to be extremely fertile and there were limited homesteads still available although some folks like my parents were there at Statehood or before in the late 50s to get pick of 160 acre Dreamland w fishing ,hi ting ,and great farming parcels but that's a little of my story and don't get on here much so I nailed it while harvesting and it's 2 am and thought I'd fumble with my phone w sticky Swazi Malawai which is motivational most say . I have phenols of Malawian Gold I got out of husks with dried up buds like 2 ounces or so from first trip to Lake Malawi and yes in pure form there's definitely some trippy ass phenols. As trippy as the Pure MTF no . Not . Stay tuned for some of the crosses of it being dropped late this year for Christmas . All limited and enter to win the pure MTF coming soon and will be isolated by phenos as well with limited partnerships for breeding possible if funded and your hearts in right place . Helping others etc etc . Stay healthy and happy trails to all. Mystery pic is the LED outdoor . It's 5 acre plot ! Much Love guys n gals
