Hey there, OP here... I just saw my old thread resurrected and lurked in to see your post.

Seems like the "mystery" is finally resolved. I hadn't thought about the possibility of there being different phenos of the strain. Although one would expect from people like Barney's breeders to notice the difference and isolate the best pheno. As you said, and as I said when I started the thread, the one great batch that I had was probably the best weed I have ever smoked, nothing else has even come close. The other phenos, however, I found very disappointing.

That's why I haven't bought any Grinspoon in at least a year and a half. When it's on the menu, I ask to see it, and I see (and especially, smell) every time that it's not what I'm looking for. Maybe I should look into growing...

Anyway, thanks for registering and posting to share your experience and photos, it was much appreciated! :D

I had some 2 weeksish ago, maybe 3 weeks. Yea it was nice, similar to the 100% Sativa I had from Paradox, though it wasn't quite as much of a sativa rocket I thought. However I am not sure (same with every strain I have tried from Barneys) it warrants its price tag.

What's the difference between Grinspoon and Greenspoon? I see Barney's sells Grinspoon for 18 euros a gram (ouch) and I see Greenspoon at other coffeeshops for a little less. They're both pure sativas right? Are they the same strain with slightly different names or is there some variance?

I've got a blueberry sativa pheno throwing Grinspoon-like calyces...
Image
She should finish all purple.
And the girl directly behind her's even "beadier", NevsHz pheno.
They're only at 12 weeks. Miles to go...

Beautiful pic EasilySuede, if she smokes as good as she looks your in for a treat! I remember reading a GreenHouse Alaskan Ice grow report with Quaze/Grinspoon like structure.

Had two autos growing like that, a sativa pheno of diesel ryder and a surprsingly 100% indica pheno of afghan kush ryder! A pain in the ass to trim

As mentioned in the other thread, I've got the mum(s)- to do a proper
non-bonsai'd (i.e., huge, lo-stress) run under lower temps n' bigger pots this fall,
when I won't be selecting/crosssing/seed-making.

Her purple sister came down yesterday, at 13 weeks, with more ambers than I'd like,
especially given her denser purple hazy effects...
Image
(same girl from a few posts up)

That's damn fast for a plant with these thai-ish calyces.
My haze-leaning Purple Haze x Thai (ace seeds) is just
starting to get her purple on @ 13 weeks. Her aroma
is more mahogany. Recent samples share similar dense
effects to the girl above.

The above girl's green sister (from the other thread)...
Image

...has a more-ish balsawood and lemons aroma (and is the most stand-in for a Grinspoon),
while the purpler is light cedar and bubble gum (didn't expect that).
Wicked dry eyes and mouth from that one too.

Those two are my longer flowering Purple and Green Blazes (F2s I made from the most
sativa-leaning male and female found growing out the 10 seeds in the original Johnny Blaze pack).
http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Joh ... /DJ_Short/

There was a faster flowering (11 wks) sister, and marginally higher yielder, which I call "Super Cedar Blaze",
or more simply, Suede.
Her high is closer to the Green Blaze, but her aroma is nearly 100% church incense...
Image
(the room smells like a million bucks after vaping some of this)

She smells so old school that young folks might not recognize it as weed.
Perfect for smoking around schools. :twisted:
(that's a joke, for any concerned parents out there)

I'll probably be using her and the Green Blaze for making woody sativa hashes.


BTW on a related note...
Dark-green (meao thai) leaning GreenHazexThai (ace seeds) gets you very close to
Grinspoon's no-ceiling hippy happy high, and yields considerably better.
Harvest as early as you're comfortable with, to get the cleanest clearest
effects. There's no raciness or paranoia, just a hippy happy focused sensation.
The lighter-green, longer-flowering, more green haze-leaning phenos are too
trippy to compare to Grinspoon, but they're a uniquely happy journey,
with a dash of chrome, of their own. Both highs share the clear happy
"be chillaxed, not racy" effect.

I'm in the process to select a best mum for each for the two types of high.
