Romulan?

PeepHole · 05-30-2006, 12:41 PM

Did a search on the forums and found no real topics on it.
Wondering what information you guys have on this strain, and what makes it good, what kind of high, etc...

Thanks

Depends on whose version you're talking about?

Reeferman's is a cross in reality,
supposedly using an original Romulan cutting as the mom and I'm not real sure of the daddy, but apparently he did it to up the yields.

Romulan Joe from BC was supposed to be the one originally bringing it mainstream years ago.

There are a few different phenotypes of Romulan in clone form for the trading.

The basic info?

Quote:

One thing is for certain, the original pure Romulan has much more sativa than a simple Kush/Afghani.
Much more aroma as well, it's pungent pine bud aroma is what makes it stand out as something unique.
The original mother clones have been around for about 20 years.
Another term that keeps popping up when describing Romulan is the old California blue indicas.
I met with Romulan Joe a little while back and discussed Romulan's heritage, I think I recall him mentioning some Mexican sativas but don't quote me on it, I wasn't taking notes, haha.

"It has been one of Vancouver Island's best kept secrets for a few years.
Up till about 18 months ago, Romulan Joe from the island was all Vancouver knew of Romulan.
Then I showed about 18 months ago at HBC with some bud and photos looking for advice about good genetics to cross it with.
Boy did I create a commotion.
I was offered some serious dollars for a clone.
I said no but that I would be happy to work something out with some seeds.

For you breeders, take note that 18 months ago, Vancouver breeders did not have access to Romulan genetics.
At that time both the Romulan that Joe was bringing to Vancouver and my Romulan was the same bud.
About six months ago I returned and Vancouver's Romulan was now more potent than mine but had lost some of its flavor.

I also noticed that emery was now selling Romulan/white widow F2 hybrids.
Emery's employees told me that they got hold of some Romulan/white widow hybrids from Romulan Joe and that was their Romulan base.
I was also told that they were the source of Steve's Romulan. Steve is saying otherwise.

When I grow out the Romulan/strawberry blonde I'll know the truth.
Pure Romulan is a very stable plant that produces very uniform F1 hybrids.
If Steve's hybrids are uniform, then we'll know that he used pure Romulan and not the Romulan/white widow that Emery used.

I'll also know if Steve ever decides to publish a photo of a Romulan plant and bud close-up.
Buds pictured in Cannabis Culture and High Times are small for Romulan and are more than likely Romulan/white widow crosses.
My Romulan gets bigger buds with less light intensity.

I'm only posting this to clear up some of the confusion. Emery's Romulan white widow produces some killer bud.
Steve's Strawberry blonde is very good and whether crossed with Romulan or Romulan/white widow, it should produce very pleasing results.

A third source for Romulan genetics will be Heaven's Stairway who will be offering Romulan/blueberry (Romberry) F1 hybrid seeds.

BTW: The only reason I feel confident that I am lucky enough to have pure Romulan is because of it's stable genetics and how long it's been in the area.
Emery, Shaun, and the others down at HempBC only confirmed it.

These quotes are old, but the info is good.
Vic High was instrumental in the now defunct old Super Sativa Seed Club that so many people are searching for original strains of.
I think he was also a biologist or some other big word that means the study of plants

Federation Romulan.

Dandaweedman · 12-24-2006, 07:17 PM

Jenna and I decided to give ourselves a Christmas present this year.
Well, we really hadn't decided to until we were perusing Seedbay one evening. OMG Romulan!!!

There has been access to Romulan at some dispenseries all along (in clone form) but seeds had become a rarety.

I'm not real sure at this point if these are fresh gear from Federation or if they are older seeds kept around type a deal

I grew a cross Motarebel created a while back called RomBolt which was a cross between Romulan and Yumbolt.
(Yumbolt is now out of circulation)
It was supposed to be a wikkid med weed but I never got to try it past 6 weeks un-a-fortunately.

(see post #147)
So needless to say, anyone with any Yumbolt seeds, send em to the addy in my profile

Federations advertising blurb (I luv these!)

Quote:

Mostly indica. The one and only true Romulan. Now on its 7th Generation backcross, this BC original has increased in size and vigor. 99% Indica, she grows a jade green with a peppery smell and very strong pungent flavor. Vegged for 1 week in sea of green she'll yield 1 oz per plant. As seen in the July/Aug 98 issue of Cannabis Culture.
Height 6 feet.
Flowering time 8 weeks.
Yield 9+ oz.
Harvest outdoor Oct 15
