HELLO ALL,
I wanted to talk of a Breeder little known ! WHY ??? that I have long cultivated and I was very surprised by its genetic
Difficult to compare one Sannie Seeds or Mandala with Delicatessen ...
1 comparison would be
idiotic !
The work of the Breeder above widely skills many bredders known...
it is not my favorite but his breeder genetic high quality !
sorry for my not perfect translations ...
I noticed that apart from some cannabiculteurs, nobody knows the Spanish breeders. Yet there are not awkward in this area, which has as its Cannabiogen topic now. I will not dwell on Dinafem seeds, Eva female seeds, Sweet Kannabia seeds or seeds.
They hybridize with varieties known and recognized, although some cross as Moby Dick (Dinafem) began to be appreciated.
By cons, there is another breeder who creates varieties of high quality, and in Spain, is best known by those who seek genetic original developed from landraces and different from the Netherlands.
The designer, Mario Bellandi, looked at the medical properties of cannabis for professional reasons (he is a psychiatrist) but also to relieve some physical illnesses.
Firstly it a boss in an association for many years, which earned him a lot of trouble with the law.
Then, having created his own varieties (mainly sativa) with medicinal properties, he met with Sergio Jauja that he decided to rework its plants so they have more taste pleasure, and especially that they are fundamentally different varieties of the Netherlands. Delicatessen was born
For those who know Spanish will see on
www.delicatessen-seeds-bank.com (Remember to read "Conócenos...)
I mention this because the forum is sativas This bank is really the top level of taste, aroma and high. Smoking in the Queen Mother would surprise many. Me is among the best that I could try.
In Spain, Delicatessen is popular with smokers and demanding epicurean who want a quality alternative to breeders in Holland.
"Delicatessen appeared before the need to produce rich crops aromas and flavors, to raise the levels of cannabis and aromatic taste.
That is why in recent years Delicatessen sought and developed new varieties of different breeds of Holland, with nuances of flavors and aspects which open up new channels and genetics in particular cannabis. "
Jorge Cervantes, who now lives in Spain, near Barcelona, is an admirer of the work done by Mario Bellandi.
The 6 varieties (5 sativa 1 indica) are priced at 60euro 12 seeds standard.
There are also a mix of multiple genetic Delicatessen for those who want to work with. The seeds are not available in all Spaniards grows, however, are found in the best. Delicatessen: enjoy every breath
Mario Bellandi, and his friend and partner Sergio, founded the Delicatessen-seeds-bank, a reference name for the epicurean marijuana.
Although only recently arrived on the scene cannabis, they have received several awards in national cups as
"la bella flor" Malaga, Alicante cutting, cutting Girona or CCC.
Without doubt, the Queen Mother is one of the most original genetic powerful and created in our peninsula.
Mario Bellandi, the creator of DELICATESSEN :
Mario, how did your relationship with marijuana?
Working as a psychotherapist I have observed how a friend of mine, whose wife had died, unfortunately, could have overcome these hard times consuming cannabis.
So I began research on the psychoactive properties of marijuana because it is a plant that parallel applications of physiotherapy, also to other psychotherapeutic qualities that remain to be explored.
At what point did you decided to grow?
From this research on psychotherapeutic properties, I started in the cultivation of cannabis.
I learned more each day but this does not satisfy me. I needed other sources of motivation.
So I started to create my personal plants to look for varieties with characteristics that interested me, both a map qu'organoleptique psychotherapy.
Your beginnings were they difficult?
The hardest part was learning. At that time I was about to leave for Switzerland to work with people more expert than me, but this could not materialize and ultimately I had to teach myself.
By cons which has been really hard, the amount of police action, but also flights, which have been subjected.
This brought me a lot of problems that have greatly delayed my work.
Tell us of your selection criteria ?
In my head it was always clear that I do not want to create varieties just to make money, but there must be an element of personal sastisfaction.
If I had grown so that it sells well, I would not do it.
I do not want to sell my soul to the market and money by producing what is selling well. My personal satisfaction comes first.
Personally cannabis is not trapping. A vulgar drunk with wine is not the same as enjoying a good Rioja, although it is obvious that with a good vintage can also get drunk. Of course it is not only that but also enjoy a good wine.
For a variety to interest me the pleasure of smoking must be present in each puff.
That's why I'm careful to taste, more and more people realize this and really appreciate this.
Your plant best known is the Queen Mother (Queen Mother), how did you dévellopped ?
La Reina Madre is a hybrid from a local Andalusian sativa with a male on the island of Reunion, very sativa phenotype.
When I planted, grown and harvested this plant then I realized I wanted to keep this gene, but in my breeding program I unfortunately did not keep the parents.
Then I started to for generations backcrossed with a male Congolese until the current results where it to 97% similar to the original, in addition of being highly stable and homogeneous.
What are its characteristics?
Sativa which is a pretty stretch during flowering and has a fairly early harvest. Its psychoactive effects are high since most contain much THC it has very little CBD, which increases the index of psychoactive.
Do you think he can improve even more?
Yes, I am sure that is possible but I need the right conditions and unfortunately I can not afford sufficient for now.
The fact is that the new crossing of the amount of CBD rises slightly. Nevertheless I always try to improve, optimize things.
Tell us also of Jauja ?
In this case there is a variety that comes from Central Africa, specifically the Congo.
I started to cross with the Queen Mother, but not looking to the offspring if the Queen Mother, rather than showing the African characteristics.
In the end I managed to have a plant that I love...
Sometimes your way for you to inform about the plants we have the impression that you speak with them ?
You know there are subjects on which I do not talk too much, simply because these are things that we feel but we can not explain.
There are several studies on the interactions between plants and their environment. Plants perceive the intentions of the farmer, the love given to them.
We're used to our mutual relations, to interpret the signals they send us, even if they are not like a dog wagging its tail to make himself understood.
Somehow the plants have replaced other social need, I do not feel as much need to go out in a relational goal.
Indeed it is this interest that makes me get up at 6am because I'm happy with my plants.
Many think that this is purely a figment of my imagination, and as it is impossible to prove anything about this, I'd rather not talk about it.
What do you feel after such a succession of police intervention?
I feel worn and used, like an object that instrumentalises for political purposes. It is difficult to explain these feelings into words.
Theoretically the police represent the law and should behave in relation to this, but it does not work as well. I do not understand their fury.
On my last trial I was absolved for having therapeutic research with 258 plants, which led me to believe that my work was not illegal if that. I have not been absolved for lack of evidence and the judge did not not required to do it again.
So I do not understand this relentless policeman since the judge did not prohibit my business.
I do not traffic and nothing comes out of my house because everything is too much then used as natural fertilizer.
But they know that I continue to grow, because every time we stole the plants I am going to complain to the Guardia Civil, telling them that was stolen and where they are sold. For this reason my last arrest gave me a great sense of confusion.
Do you consider your varieties that are the legacy you leave us ?
In some ways yes, it's a legacy I would leave one day I created these varieties and I'm really proud.
Somehow, I feel somewhat the same satisfaction as the one who paints or sculpts.
In fact, I think we all feel like we are contributing to something.
Finally an advice to all farmers ?
They seek and find true new varieties, they discover who is doing the real work.
I knew Mario Bellandi his arrival in Spain through our common interest in psychology and ethnobotany.
He introduced me Sergio Jauja in Amsterdam for a Cannabis Cup, when the first Grow shop opened its doors in Spain.
Accustomed to having the exclusive cannabis and to be the world center of pilgrimage cannabis, the Netherlands surprised (and others really did not like) that the Spaniards had brought with them their own grass.
But what surprised even those who had the pleasure of taste is that it was totally different than they produced.
This year's speech offered by el gringo Jorge Cervantes to an audience mostly North American and European, was illustrated, inter alia, photographs of cultures Mario Alicante as an example of excellence.
At that time Mario, absorbed in his research on marijuana, and Sergio began to perceive the necessity of seeking a line of development distinct varieties Netherlands, with a return to sativas who could realize their potential organoleptic under the sun Iberian
Marco also worked with various associations giving selflessly cannabis that were provided to patients.
This collaboration enabled a better understanding of the therapeutic use, which favored the development of varieties specific pathology.
There was a variety with a high content of THC to treat nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy as well as glaucoma.
The Queen Mother was always the most suitable variety.
For pain and neuromuscular disorders, it was necessary to have a more balanced variety in the proportions of THC and CBD. Eddy is the result of this development.
Unfortunately, this activity for the sick Mario's face, once again, justice. "
"If last season our Special Variety pointed out that the Queen Mother was one of the surprises of the year, this time it was the turn of Jauja to take over.
Combination of Queen Mother and genetic Congolese, its effects are even more powerful than its progenitor.
It is distinguished by its ability to stimulate the senses.
The sight, smell, taste, touch, and the hearing sharpened, trapping is very intense and it may disconcert if we are not accustomed to smoking marijuana as a great power.
With this hybrid of Central Africa, Delicatessen has achieved a complete genetic at all levels both in power, aroma and flavor, and in ease of culture.
This gene is flowering early indoor (50/55 days).
Outside it is harvested by mid-September.
Rather squat for a sativa, it is endowed with large buds, compact and covered with resin invasive.
Also noteworthy is the ease to manicure this variety.
It has an intense aroma and penetrating, pure incense, which was converted into a favorite of farmers attending courses cannabiculture optimized association Ceagrocannabis Valencia.
Before being known by the general public, she has already won awards as the ninth cut bellaflor Malaga or fifth cut Alacannabis.
