Thanks man, we'll see where things go. I no longer believe Lambs Breath to be an actual strain. I think, and I've heard this before (and it was backed up by a Jamaican old timer last week), that it's just an old Jamaican slang term for their very best ganja, from a given crop or year. I think I posted something to that effect further up thread, possibly more clearly (I'm pretty stoned, sampling this years crop).
But there are/were definitely a few main strains around the island back then, and probably quite a few regional varieties as well. Mine is almost done, which is surprising. It's definitely not that old pure tropical sativa, there's a hint (just a hint) of indica in there somewhere. But it smells amazing, and has pink/magenta stigmas (hairs), and purple/magenta striations in the resin glands. The buds have a pinkish hue to them, even in the leaves, but they're also running out of food and it's getting cold at night. That brings out anthocyanins, which bring purple/reddish tints, and also a "purple" flavor, typically.
If it were a pure tropical type, it almost definitely wouldn't finish here in Michigan. So I guess it's good for me that it does seem to have a bit of something else in it. Didn't get as many seeds as I thought, but I only lightly pollinated it. Probably under 100 seeds altogether. We'll see in a couple weeks.
