Message-ID: <225317Z01101993@anon.penet.fi> Newsgroups: alt.drugs,talk.politics.drugs,alt.hemp From: an23853@anon.penet.fi Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1993 22:49:16 UTC Subject: Sensi [Marijuana] Seed Bank Catalog -- less excerpted [in his previous post, an anon-o-neophyte manages to convince the anon daemon that the bulk of his posting is actually a .signature] Folks, I've just received the latest copy of the Sensi Seed Bank catalog from Holland and thought I'd type in the seed descriptions for your enjoyment. (Sorry I can't include the pictures, they're great!) Reading this makes me realize how enlightened the Dutch are. How did we get to the point where keeping the company of certain plants will get you a ruined life, courtesy of the Government? Keep up the good fight, let's make it legal in the US! Disclaimer: I only wish I could be their happy customer! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SENSI SEED BANK All you need, you'll find at Sensi Seed Sensi Seed Bank B.V. is the first complete growshop in Holland. You'll find a vast collection of books for beginner or expert, fertilizers for growing in soil or hydroponics, lighting, ecologically sound crop protection, growing systems and of course our unique, world-famous seed collection. In short, a visit to our shop is a must for every grower! Grow it and you'll know it! This leaflet provides you with a survey of all the seeds in our collection. You'll find a description of the different varieties as well as some data on harvest times and yields which will help you make your choice. The plants fall into three categories: 1) Indoor, 2) Indoor/greenhouse, 3) Outdoor. The indoor flowering period gives the amount of time the plants need to finish off once you have put them into flowering (12 hours of light/12 hours of darkness). For the outdoor varieties the data refer to the approx. date of harvest in Holland. Because of uncertain weather conditions in September and October we recommend to choose early varieties for outdoor growing. The data on yield give you an idea of the possibilities of the different varieties. Since the yield depends on the grower as well as on the conditions the data are no guaranteed results. The prices are given for 15 seeds. We are not able to give any guarantees on these seeds, since we are dealing with living material. However, we test the viability and germination rates of all varieties on a regular basis. The seeds are only meant for agricultural purposes within the Netherlands. NORTHERN LIGHTS (Winner pure indica 88/89/90 -- Indoor) [photo: mouth watering shot of a sticky bud] An absolute must for the indoor grower! For the last couple of years the Northern Lights has dominated the various Harvest Festivals. Through selective breeding we have succeeded in producing one of the most powerful plants in the world. On top of that, we have developed a strain highly adapted for indoor growing: short, stocky plants that produce maximum yields in the shortest possible time. Flowering: 45-50 days Height 100-125 cm Yield: up to 125 gr Price: fl. 200.00 [that's Guilders -- 1.8 to the dollar these days. It works out to about $7.50 a seed] SILVER HAZE (champion 89 -- Indoor) [photo: mouth watering shot of a sticky bud] Although the cerebral high of Sativa is preferred by many, indoor growers aren't too fond of this type: Sativas get very tall, take a long time to finish off and produce skimpy yields. We have spent years searching for a superb Indica/Sativa hybrid suited for indoor growing. By crossing the Haze, the most powerful Sativa in the world, to a non-dominant Indica we managed to get the height and flowering time of the plant down to an acceptable level and still retain the unique Sativa qualities of the high. The result: the Silver Haze, winner of the '89 High Times Harvest Festival. Don't expect top yields but top quality that will excite the true connoisseur. Flowering: 65-75 days Height: 150-180 cm. Yield: up to 100 gr. Price: fl. 200.00 SHIVA SHANTI I (Indoor) This Afghani with its penetrating Indica aroma is one of the best yielders in the collection. Due to its top indoor performance combined with a pleasant taste and high the Shiva Shanti is one of our most popular varieties. Flowering: 50-65 days Height: 110-150 cm Yield: up to 150 gr. Price: fl. 60.00 BIG BUD (winner: Mostly Indica '89 -- Indoor) For sheer yield and hybrid vigor, this is the best yet. The plants surprise even experienced growers. Huge buds, excellent resin, taste and high. Somewhat variable, approx. 1 in 4 females will be an extreme heavy yielder, with the longer flowering plants giving the biggest yields. Flowering: 50-65 days Height: 110-150 cm Yield: up to 150 gr. Price: fl. 160.00 NORTHERN LIGHTS #5 X HAZE (Winner: Mostly Sativa '90 -- Indoor) Finally for sale in Holland: this superb Indica/Sativa hybrid, a cross between our best Indica and Sativa strains. Extremely potent with unique Sativa qualities to the high. Due to the Haze influence this hybrid tends to stretch in height during flowering. Therefore it must be flowered when very small. An excellent choice for an ebb and flow table. Cuttings can be put into flowering as soon as they show roots. The 10 week flowering period is well compensated with an excellent yield. Flowering: 65-75 days Height: 150-180 cm Yield: up to 150 gr. Price: fl. 250.00 FOUR-WAY (indoor) This is a 4-way hybrid of our best indoor strains.

Price: fl. 150.00 HINDU KUSH (Indoor) After years of inbreeding and back crossing the Hindu Kush is now available as a pure strain.

We have crossed our best Skunks to their Afghani ancestors. Brush against this plant and the room becomes immediately filled with a powerful Skunk aroma. Despite the smell a very pleasant high with a little more body to it than the Skunk #1. One of the winners of the 1990 High Times Harvest Festival where it clearly defeated Skunk #1.

Excellent hybrid vigor and yield make this one a snap to grow. Works superbly indoors as well as in a greenhouse. Taste and high are similar to Skunk #1, a rich sweet pungency, but with more resin and better yield.

Price: fl. 150.00 RUDERALIS SKUNK (Outdoor) [photo: mouth watering shot of a field full of sticky bud] Ruderalis is an early-flowering variety that grows wild in parts of Eastern Europe and Russia. We have used the early flowering characteristic of Ruderalis to improve the outdoor performance of some of our best varieties. The advantage of a Ruderalis hybrid is that approx. 50% of the seedlings will begin flowering at the 5-7th internode, regardless of the photoperiod (finishing date Sept. 1). The other half of the seedlings will be much later (October). Finish: Sept-Oct. Height: 2-3 m. Yield: up to 300 gr. Price: fl. 80.00 DURBAN (Outdoor) A very early strain from South Africa. Durban is a compact Sativa with a sweet aroma and an up high. One of the most reliable early outdoor varieties, it will produce chunky, solid buds even during the worst season. If you haven't tried Durban, you are missing out on one of the easiest to grow, highest-quality early varieties in the world. Finishing: end of Sept. Height: 1.5-2.5 m Yield: up to 400 gr. Price: fl. 100.00 EARLY SKUNK (Outdoor) An excellent hybrid between Skunk #1 and Early Pearl. Outdoor growers are usually dissatisfied wit the finishing date of the regular Skunk strain. The Early Skunk finishes about 2 weeks earlier than Skunk #1 due to the influence of the Early Pearl. The influence of the latter is also noticeable in the smell and the high: sweet and smooth. On top of that: the strain combines a good yield with mold resistance. Finishing date: Oct. 1 Height: 2-3m. Yield: up to 500 gr. Price: fl. 60.00 EARLY GIRL (Outdoor) This is a mostly Indica variety, one of the earliest in our collection. Very potent, medium yield, with a hashy taste and aroma.
