Apparently the discussion about neville's haze x mango has been going on for awhile. Here's a quote from dr. longbottom in 2007 that actually sounds about right to me:
nevilles haze x mango is a different strain than mangohaze....if i recall correctly ''mango" is the name of one of the boy hazes that shanti uses in his breeding program. when he made mangohaze he used a sister plant to the mother of ssh and used the same father for both...the mango. In the nevilles haze x mango I beleive he just crosses his neville haze with the same boy haze (mango) used for both ssh and mangohaze. DLB
Digging through some of the old archives I found some posts that are relevant to the topic, and some are just interesting. A few were from before the mns forums started...

What the cannabis world needed was practical hazes thus the birth of SSH, Mango Haze, and EQhaze....so on....which are all available from MNS. The other less stable hybrids that include haze as a parent are things like NH Mango, NHwidow, Mango widow and so on which I do make every so often...definitely not on a regular basis.

Hi All
the G13 cutting was crossed to a skunk male in the early 90's when the G13 cutting seemed to be on its way out. Nev did several crosses to combine the genes before the plant became extinct in its pure female form. So I went on with several of these lines one is G13skunk(female) combined with
the widow male(same widow used for the BW, MM ,La N and SS).
I hope that clears things up for you all.
Wishing you all a great and safe 2007...all the best SB

Hi all
should be a pretty easy comparison considering
the parents that make the F1 SSH seed are identical to the ones pre 1998 at the GHSco...but good luck with your selection process.All the best sb

Hi All
just to clarify it all for you so noone gets wrong facts in the right place.I never worked for Sensi Seed, Nevil was working with them after he got back to NL from his problems in Australia....early 90s. I was working setting up GHSco with Arjan, and Nev and I were friends. In between all the company crap Nev and I did alot of breeding together swapping and cloning etc...without the knowledge of any one else as these were breeding projects others were not involved in nor really showed interest in. At some stage we came out with Dr Kevorkian...a strain that was in between SSH and NH genetically. After that we began enjoying the exchange and Nev finish his co working with Sensi Seed, retiring to breeding carp and cannabis in a smaller way.
That is when Nev and I spent alot of time together and Nl5/Haze/Mist was one of those things we did which won a cup...similarly I was working on the White line to make stable seed lines which took a long time.The weed was out long before the stable seed was...that is why the GHSco did not have seed till 1995/6...if people check well there was no seed sold with these names until after then even though there are loads of claims contrary to the truth. And since the early 90s Nev and myself played with alot of projects until I took over all things when Nev had other things on his plate.The history goes like that according to what I was involved in....all the best Sb

Hi All
well what did I learn in Irian Jaya....well they really do not have the cannabis culture there...it is mainly the native Papua's who actively use and cultivate so it is more easier to find it on the Papua New Guinea side. But those few I came across in remote areas and do their thing, are growing as primitives do from seed they interbred generation after generation which makes it quite exciting to research.
I showed those locals some basic things to reduce their seed content, but I really do not need to go there and show them things that take it from a hobby to a profession. So I just collect seed and move on. It would be extremely difficult to go back there as it was probably the toughest trek physically and mentally I and the other 7 ever did in the life and all of us were well adapted to doing things like this.
So my collection of seed is now getting grown out on a remote and unihabitate island in the indonesia archipelago by a few captains who regularly pass these islands...so we will need patience and persistance.
I could write a chapter on what I learnt, but basically these people are cut off from the world where no mobile phones work...and it was so rare to experience a place like this in the 21st century.....I am better for it.
If you guys want to see some nice info on them then check out
Papua New Guinea & West Papua - Tours & expedition, that gives a good idea.

the story about SSH and WWS was difficult to follow . If you were one of the guys who bought things there you may want to get your SSH from Gypsy, online alien, doc chronic, the seedsman, vu-du.com and several others as these are all the shops that stock the originals in breeders packets.
Considering SSH has always been an excellent stable breed it surprises me alot to hear anything disappointing about the breed.
My best advice to those in doubt is to talk to others online about those who bought things from WWS and see if others had similar problems...
all the best Sb
