Underground Originals have a special place in my heart, not just because their website says that they sell art, but because their nickname, Ugorg, sounds to me like the cumbersome, simple and ineffective Tranformer that never was. In reality, these guys provide strains passed down to them through generations and use landrace genetics that have been collected for over 40 years by Oldtimer1, the daddy of this company. If that’s not an assurance of quality, I don’t know what is.

Oldtimes is a seriously old school mostly sativa variety bred from the enigmatic ESB and ES strains. Its parent plants can have tendencies towards hermaphroditism when put under stress, so try to keep Oldtimes as chilled out as possible and keep a sharp eye out for any male flowering after transplanting. Growth will be fairly rapid and the buds will have hardly any leaves. Flowering sits at around 8 to 9 weeks.

Your Oldtimes buds won’t be as pungent as ESB, but they’ll certainly give off a distinctive whiff as soon as you get near them. The high is almost all in the head, with a little leakage down to the body just so it doesn’t feel left out. After it’s settled down a little, your overactive mind will start reminiscing about the old days when pot was pot and a dollar could buy you a car – but don’t worry about this, it’s fairly normal.
