Mullumbimby madness


Recommended Posts

To be honest, Im not sure what the flowering time would be indoor.

 

I have done 16 - 18 week pure sativa indoor before and they can be tricky.

 

Most of the time the trickyness comes from "hybridization" from taking a plant that has never seen indoor before (Think movie "Encino man"), but if I read her well she should be fine.

 

12/12 from seed she should veg for about 4 weeks and then kick into flower :)

 

As soon as the beans pop, I will link up a diary here ;)

 

Rose.

wow... Are you gonna run the MM indoors rose?.. That's one I am down to see.. Hope you have growth space.. Or are really good at training your babies.. Hehe they can be a few handfulls.. Hahaha.

 

best of luck in all growing adventures.

hey guys, my parents travelled to Mullum in the 70's [during the anti logging demos at Protestors falls] and ended up staying. They first lived in disused banana sheds at Coopers lane, Main Arm, before buying land in Wanganui gorge. i was born in Byron hospital and grew up in Mullum and surrounds during the peak of the alternate movement. Both my parents have smoked since before i was born ( 35 yrs ) and still smoke daily, and ive been heavily involved in my own horticultural pursuits for 20 years too. Indoor and out. Mullumbimby Madness was like a myth when we were kids. Everyone knew someone who knew someone that had smoked it or had the strain, but you could never really get your hands on it. Plenty of times people gave me supposed MM and perhaps a couple of times it was even the  real deal, but i could never be sure. So when i got old enough to discuss the topic openly with my olds, i did so. This is what my dad and his mate told me, and ive since researched it and asked as many true old school locals as possible and it seems to add up to me. Also i am a qualified horticulturalist and ive studied botany, just so you know im not just some nimbin nutjob haha.

 

The original strain was a predominant sativa brought back over by surfer/hippies from South East Asia but its what they did with it when they got back thats important. These old dudes were off the chain and pretty much the pioneers of the nth coast weed culture. A few of them started messing around with a product called 'Colchicene'. To cut a long story short, its a highly toxic plant extract ( i read somewhere its 5 times as toxic as cyanide ) that when applied to seeds produces something called polyploidy. Basically its old school Genetic mod. Makes bigger cell walls etc. Studies were done that proved this treatment did indeed increase thc levels. The downside is that the survival rate is extremely low. Something like 95-99% of the seeds wont even germinate and then some that do will be fucking mutants. literally. So after getting a relatively normal breeding pair from the batch of colchicene treated seeds and growing them full term and collecting THAT seed, you ended up  with MM.

 

Im sure this is gonna ruffle some feathers but as far as i can tell its right. All the info is out there if you look hard enough... So i would personally NOT pay for seeds claiming to be MM, because in reality, it was never an actual strain, but a modification that was done to a few diffferent sativa strains in the Mullum area. But in saying that, some of those old strains were fucking amazing. I consider myself a pretty critical judge, and it still rates as some of the nicest all round herb ive ever had, hence its world-wide rep. Especially the mango strains... remember them? MMMMMMmmmmmmmm mango........

 

Peace.

Regardless of what they are just grow them out and decide whether or not you like them. I think people just like saying Mullumbimby Madness and that is the reason the legend has hung around.

Thankyou for the information Common Criminal :)

 

I found it strangely coincidental about the use of "chocrane"

 

Ryanme has been corresponding with me about germinating my supposed MM stock.

 

The part that struck a chord was that I germinated 20x seeds.

 

Of those seeds, 5x germinated/survived and of those 5x they all came up with distorted and mutant leaves.

 

I attributed the deformity to the use of a mild neonic I use ocassionally to kill fungus gnat larvae in veg which causes leaf distortion.

 

Of those 5x only one got up and started growing but the others fizzled out and died.

 

Only ond remained and turned out to be a boy which has now been kept for pollen.

So far I have a couple of mutations too
