It'd be nice to see your MNS SSH, CM, Shit keepers. What was your selection criteria for keeping them? Got some pics to share? Pls include pics of the killer SSH males also. What criteria did you use to select these males? Was the "80s NL5/Haze at F6" also a keeper? Do you have pics of this plant?

The main things we go by for selection are.. Ability to adapt to new environments, herm testing in females, stem smell, flowering characteristics, using alot of water, and we test with the males to test on, are they dominant on their crosses, are they more recessive to the mother? We also look for the chokiest, lung busting shit we can find. All the best stuff I ever smoked in the early 70s would blast your lungs to bits. And I also look for a heavy crash. Not this easy come down shit. I want to feel drunk after raiding the fridge, sleeping 3-4 hours, and then wake up still stoned, and eyes red, ands still hungry. Hung over the next day after sleeping. Eyes still red. All of the best stuff of the early 70s had this trait. All of it. And its extremely hard to find plants/strains like that, and granted, all of ours dont have those traits, but it is something we look for. We dont have nearly as many males as we do females. But we do have some nice old male selections. IMHO they are harder to find than a nice female.
I dont have any photos. Im in a very unfriendly state, and actually my 2 buddies have the genetics, as Im not doing anything at the moment, and their wives would kill them if they took photos, and posted them on the internet. As would my wife, as she doesnt smoke or drink, and has a really good job. Shes from the Philippines, and is 16 years younger than me. She doesnt mind if I smoke, just as long as I dont get into anymore trouble. But I have a hands on job with my 2 buddies. I have supplied my 2 buddies with genetics since the mid 80s, and have been growing with one of them since 1982. And have known the other one since 1966. He is my older sisters ex boyfriends brother. Hes 72 years old. I also buy all the lights, fertilizer, grow medium, and pay half of the electric bills. For this I get all the weed they dont smoke at a greatly reduced cost, and one guy doesnt smoke anymore. So I get all of his weed. Im not going to say what I do with it, but I will say, I dont smoke nearly all of it, and I dont keep it I myself. I have been smoking since 1967. My older sisters boyfriend at the time used to get me stoned when I was 8 years old,, He was 15, and Ive been smoking ever since, except the 12 years I did with the feds. I did 12 years with the feds. 7 years behind bars, and 5 years supervised release. I pled guilty to a Mandatory Minimum 10-Life sentence, and a 5 MILLION DOLLAR FINE, of which the fine was waived. I did from 97-2009 for cultivation. Mine was an indoor grow, though my partner had a 2000 acre farm, and I gave him 500 clones to put out, and he got caught, and ratted me out, and I got charged with making the clones I gave him, and 750 more they found at a house he was renting for me, though I payed the rent. He lived 150 miles away, but was from my hometown. He was 70 years old in 1997, and I was 39 at the time. He was a friends uncle. I went with a partnership with him, and I gave him 500 clones of a cross I had been growing for 6 years. It was an early 90s NL5 X Haze x Nevils Hashplant x Skunk #1. It was the best stuff I had seen since the early 70s, and it was the equal to anything exotic back then, and is still the best indoor stuff have ever seen. Better than a verified Chem91skva cut we have, and better than anything we currently have. Like I said, Ive not seen the equal to it since 1972. It was as good as some Cambodian my buddies brother brought back from Nam in 1972. He said it was Cambodian. He stuffed 10lbs of it in a foot locker. They didnt search the GIs coming back from Nam in 72. He also brought back 3lbs of raw opium. That shit was wicked It would make you throw up, and be sick as a dog. It tasted very floral, and sickly sweet. I would make you nod out, and make you dream, and see in technicolor. The weed that was most like the NL5/Haze x Hashplant/Sk1 was some sinsemilla Santa Marta iin 1972. It was the first Sensi I had ever seen. It was Green, and was the closest thing Ive seen to my NL5/Haxe x Hashplant/Sk1, and this includes taste, and smell though the strain I had was way more stinky than the Santa Marta. They were small green buds and very airy. Not very compact at all. The cross I had smelled like floral catpiss, and tasted like the best Nepali Temple balls from 1969. It was super choke, and if you tried to hold a hit, it would make you lose your vision for about 5 seconds. It was really lung buster. And if you had it growing in your house, you could smell it all the way out in the street. It was very unsafe to try and rive while smoking it. Itt would make many people sick, and paranoid. One girl is still mad at me from 1996, and swears I put PCP in it. She threw up for 4 hours, and had to lay beside the toilet. Needless to say, she hates me to this day. The stinkiest stuff we now have is the pre2000 AK47. You can also smell from 100 feet away. Luckily both of my buddies live in the hills, on farms, in East Kentucky, are out in the country, with no close neighbors, and the road at one of my buddies is a mile away. He lives on a dead end gravel road a mile off of the main road, in a very very nice home. Other buddy live about 3/8ths of a mile from the main road. So they dont have to worry about smell. You cant grow the AK47 in town, or you will get busted, if you are in an unfriendly region, or someone will break in, and rob you. My buddies also have some dogs you wouldnt want to mess with, without a gun. Pitbulls, and Turkish Kangals.
Also both friends also have the same genetics just in case one of them would lose something, the other will still have it. The oldest genetics we have are from Pre2000 AK47, except the Chem91skva cut is from 1991. We havent had it that long, but the original has been alive sine 1991.. I bought this cut 4 years ago, for $500.
We also had a direct line to Santa Marta in the early 70s. A buddies older brother worked for a shipping company out of Key West, and they went to Columbia every month, and he would bring back 50-100lbs every trip. It takes about 15 days round trip to get to Santa Marta. 5-6 days each way, and 3 days to load the ship. He would then be off 2 weeks but still got paid. I never in my life smoked bad weed in the 70s. I do remember when Mexican went to crap though, because of Nixon paraquating all the fields. In 1974 there was a huge drought all summer. No weed at all,. Except what my buddies brother was bringing back from Columbia. He sold most of it out of our town to a large nearby city, as to not bring heat on himself, though he would let me and a few others buy whenever we wanted. But he wouldnt let us buy for people he didnt know. I never experienced the drought, but many did. He was bringing in weed from 1970-1977. Not all of it was Santa Marta, but it was from 1970-1974, and no seeds at all. I never saw one seed from this stuff in 5 years. Then he started getting alot of Red, and Gold Columbian, with seeds. Then weed started coming in from other sources, and it was Columbian Gold, and Red, which we almost never saw pre 1974. We saw alo t of goof Mexican, Panama Red, Jamacian, And after the 74 drought, all the Mexican was considered junk weed, when previously, it was some of the best weed there was. Still to this day, Oaxacan was some of the best weed I ever smoked. Seeds and all. Its the only weed that ever gave me auditory hallucinations, with extreme paranoia. I loved it. This was in 73. It was $140 an Lb, and $40 a 1/4lb. I wish had all the seeds back Ive thrown away.
