What is known about Xmas Bud IBL (79 xmas bud) runs through 79 Xmas Bud: the Christmas-tree smoke that went round North America at the turn of the 1980s.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother and Father: 79 Xmas Bud. The Christmas-tree smoke that went round North America at the turn of the 1980s. It traces to 1979, though whether that is when it was imported or when it was found is not settled, and its origin is given as a Pakistani landrace. Legacy growers in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California remember it as far better than the brick imports of the same years. CSI are the reason it is still obtainable.
• Preservation, not novelty. A cut this old has no seed history - it has been passed hand to hand. A self is the only route to a packet, and the only way the line outlives the people currently holding it.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Conifer and pine, pinene and terpinolene led - the reason for the name.
• The Taste. Pine, and dense hashy Afghan-leaning flower behind it.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. An indica-style plant that grows in the shape its name suggests.
• Before the flip. Decide the shape now. These lines do not tidy themselves up once they are running.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe 79 Xmas Bud as the heavy end.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.

In the pack
