lil history on romulan

[xX Kid Twist Xx]

This is what I scraped up from the Mag collection......

According to "Romulan Joe" the original growers of what came to be the strain Romulan, began in a greenhouse in the 1950's from seeds brought back by US vets from Korea.
Initially the pure Korean Sativa had a hard time acclimating to weather in Victoria British Columbia.
Between the late 60's to the early 70's These growers began hybridizing and working with Colombian and Mexican genetics. They eventually hybridized the colombian/mexican crosses to the pure Korean sativa IBL they had been working.
It was from these initial Colombian/mexican x Korean crosses that The original Romulan Mother was selected from in 1976.
Supposedly in the mid 80's these growers began efforts to cross breed the Romulan lines with afghani strains but eventually went back to their original clone mother.
Through many generations of breeding, careful selections were made for shorter statured, faster maturing phenotypes. This has led many to believe that Romulan is a pure Indica.
The next generation seed company's Romulan is made with the original Romulan mom from 1976 crossed to an eighth generation backcrossed male that was selected from a run of 500 seeds.

On a side note Next generation has a "Romulan Max" selection that was made using a new mother found in a recent seed run. This new mother finished about a week quicker, and 30% bigger than the original Romulan mother, all the while maintaining the special characteristics of the original.

When I bitched that my Romulus which has romulan in it was taking forever to finish someone told me it doesn't have any sativa in it. Guess I was right

[greenacres]

who knows what the Romulus has in it.

[dagobaker]

Supposedto have dreamgoddess x romulan
it's a huge yielder and stretches a ton In veg and takes 10+ weeks to finish

[greenacres]

i think we were also told it was stable....and its not. so who knows what to believe....it is pot though

[twistyman]

who knows what the Romulus has in it.

From what I see... if you aren't doing your own you never know... and even then what did you start with...???

[greenacres]

this person keeps getting the boot from other sites for this same shit. and couldnt even keep thier own site open long....all comes down to research before buying them.

Ididnt know about attitude seeds at the time
so I was happy for some new genetics
I don't mind the Romulus. It's a decent plant
it will produce well in my greenhouse
now I just buy tried and true breeders unless they r freebies and I'm beta testing like the bubbaband and strawberry diesel x og kush

from this story and what sub cool talks about. its all sativa that the just select for shorter finish times each generation. i have seen people talking about the romulan max and said the mom plant they used for that was some freak big ass pheno.

[greenacres]

id think it needs indi to shorten up the finishing time in there somewhere.
