The Fertilizer of Economic Growth

Is that not what Nevil did, and for huge profits at that? Only to sell the genetics to Dronkers for even bigger profits. He was not sharing these genetics for free, he had cornered the market in the cannabis seed market and made himself a millionaire in the process. We can be closed minded in believing one side of the story, or be open minded and look at both sides.

The bottom line is none of us will ever know the whole truth for there will always be Nevil's side and Sam's side of the story. Regardless of whether Sam created the strains, or worked with others to create the strains, he is the one that introduced these strains to the market in Holland. We do know this is a fact.

As for Sam trying to make himself look like a "big shot"; was it not Nevil who made himself a big shot? We can say it was High Times mag which made him look like a big shot, however, he had to give them permission to write these stories on him. Seems to me like Nevil truly enjoyed his time in the limelight.

I know I have been ripped off many times over the years for seeds, even more recently this past grow season, and some of these were strains associates and myself had been working on for years. So in all honesty I kind of feel where Sam is coming from. Although my strains never made the mainstream market, they were still used to grow very profitable crops and as trade for even more genetics.

Everyone is quick to point fingers and judge Sam, many of whom were not even growing or had any knowledge of the cannabis market and/or seed market in those days. As I have stated, I was growing some of those strains years before Nevil created the Seed Bank; they were readily available in certain West Coast grow circles in those days.

We need to look at the big picture here, 3 people know exactly what happened; add maybe 2 or 3 more which were on the outside of the original deal and know the story from one side or the other. None of us were there, many do not even remember the Seed Bank other than what we read, so who are any of us to judge Sam or Nevil.

As for this Sam's Wife thing; hey, if you are great, welcome to the forum. If you are an impostor, then I suggest some serious psychological help for you definitely seem to have issues in your life to want to impersonate another person.

Hey sativalvr, hope you and yours are well, happy holidays:D

When Sam posts things like he has on forums he becomes fair game. He just keeps ripping Nevil. Sometimes he opens his mouth and inserts his foot. Nevil is cool and stays out of the fray while Sam just rants on and on. I have really changed my mind over Sam through the years.

Please let us know how those seeds work out that you are trying to germinate after all those years.

all the best, S.

This is true, however when people claim to be the true originator of something, while others set back and reap the rewards, it is kind of hard to swallow; I know for I watched this past grow season go by while another while another grew my strains and took full creit for them, as well as took in a nice harvest which was all for profit for this grower which I later found out did not even smoke. Furthermore, this person would ask me questions via IM and then post my answers on another forum when they did not even have the experience nor knowledge to address the issue, then take full credit or this. So I guess you could kind of see why I can feel for Sam on that level.

IMHO it really does not matter, and I have not read much of what Sam is saying recently, and from what I had seen on the IC thread was that he was attacked first and was defending himself. There could very well be much more to the story. I do know this, I would find it a bitter pill to swallow if some-one became a millionaire off something I was a big part of and left me out there to the dogs making claims of being a snitch or even worse.

It really does not matter now anyway, for it is in the past.

My holidays will be simple, thank you for asking.

I will be running a Thai X3 cross in the cup contest, and will be working on doing an outdoor run with a few of the old strains, mainly ones I am seriously interested in keeping for future grows and breeding. I can only hope thee limited number of seeds wil produce for me at least a few good females and a truly spectactular male for fresh seed stock. I just want to inbreed a few of these strains for fresh seed stock. So it will be a seed run this year, but all plants are beautiful to me.
 
Damn, Sam's Wife may or may not be who they claim to be but they should be treated with respect until they do something that warrants otherwise.

MNS has always been a peaceful, respectful place other than a few isolated incidents. Please keep it this way. Shanti is away til March, I sure hope this place doesn't turn into a cesspool of shit slinging douchebags in his absence. I am sure he would be treating Sam's Wife with the utmost respect as he is a decent guy.

There is a chance SW is who they say they are. If I was them, I wouldn't spend a second proving it to a lynch-mob who responded in such a way to my claims. If SW is someone just pretending, they will be exposed or the novelty will wear off soon and they will disappear. No need to pollute this place with venom and negativity. If SW is indeed Sam's Wife, she does not deserve to be attacked for taking up for her husband.

Please keep the petty, low class, derogatory comments on the other forums. Keep this a sanctuary for people who are capable of having adult, humane, respectful discussions where people can communicate without the fear of being disrespected, assaulted, or insulted. Keep the comments civil. Unfounded attacks on others are not very becoming and are certainly not in the spirit of MNS or the MNS forums.


Sam's Wife, sorry you were treated the way you were. I do not know if you are who you say you are but you have done nothing to warrant the attacks or disrespect that was aimed at you. The parties associated with those actions are in no way representative of the way this community generally acts towards others. It seems some of the newer members haven't quite gotten the generally accepted protocol yet.

If you are who you say you are, I hope you will not be a stranger to the canna-community. It would be pretty cool to hear stories from someone who was as close to the scene from as early on as you claim to be. If you are not who you claim to be, you have an odd way of occupying yourself.

Well put Ronin, couldn't of said it better.

Peace GG

Am I the only the only one that has a problem with the fact that sam's wife's first post was a qouted post from jimdankness?

I mean I dunno.....jimdankness just so happened to disagree right off the fact and then got the back up of a life time.....the famous person of interest's wife......wow....pretty coincidental.

Something tells me there is a member that has multiple accounts and alot of spare time and nothing better to do than cause bullshit for ppl.

Take your negativity, shit stirring, and schoolyard detective bullshit somewhere else. You have contributed next to nothing to this site, yet you have ALL KINDS of shit to say about other members. Go away (EDITED ON REQUEST OF ADMINI. APPARENTLY TROLLS ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE ALL THE NOISE THAT THEY WANT. AND SAY ALL OF THE INFLAMMATORY THINGS THAT THEY WANT. BUT IF MEMBERS WHO CONTRIBUTE TELL TROLLS TO SHUT UP, THEY ARE ASKED TO EDIT THEIR POSTS) Clear?

I stay out of these threads, cause I think that it's best to let the lil noise makers burn themselves out. But dood, you are just starting shit to start it.

You are a troll. By DEFINITION - troll.

You are a troll. By DEFINITION - troll.

How am I stirring up shit? By questioning things...or just outright typing fantasies just because I feel like it? Have you read any of my posts in this thread? I was the one who orginaly said that this is thread is stupid and that its turning members against members. ME:D

My negetivity was directed at 2 members. One member started talking crap about religion, and the other came out of no where stating that I was trying to prove something, and that I rode in little boats.

I didnt start this. I didnt start the negetivity. I think this is ridiculous. If thats what you think of me patrick, than that sucks. I thought you were an all right guy. What happend?

I had already apologized for my negetivity, I'm not going to re-qoute myself.

What other threads have I "trolled"? What other threads have I said anything but positive things? Seriously? If I questioned some things, its because I had reason to question.....not just because I was running my mouth off. If I had bad things to say...I can only think of 3 threads.....being GHS and discounthydroponics and icmag......and its because they ripped me off personally, or screwed with me personally for no reason. Much is the same case here.

People don't like christians fine, thats cool, don't use it as a mockery of how tough it is to communicate to some people.....like sam's wife wrote. That was a low blow for no reason. Just being rude and offensive for no reason...yet no one said a word about that.

I didnt have a single thing to say about the real sam the skunkman, nor his real family, in fact if anyone got anything other than the fact that I thought it was rude to imposter someone's family, then you have misunderstood me.

If someone wants to come out of no where with no reason and call me names, then I will write whatever I feel at the time because thats who I am. You don't like me? Fine. But don't talk shit about someone who's stomping it out. I will talk shit back.

Your right little noise makers burn themselves out. I'm not one of them. Eatch person thats attacked me has come out of no where.....without me saying anything NOTHING about them....and talked shit to me.....and I'm the bad guy.

Why don't you read the post over again?

See thats the difference between you and me and what ultimately makes me a better person is that I'm not going to attack you. I think that you might have caught the last few posts and not read the entire thread. I have not had the opportunity to contribute as much as others because I'm a new member. I'm going to be myself though, I'm an adult and will act as one so long as people don't mess with me for no reason. Then its open season. I have every intention on contributing as much as possibal. But not if the general consensus thinks that I'm just running my mouth here and attacking people out of the blue for no reason. Thats whats happening to me.

I'm willing to drop this, but only if this attacking stops. I'm not attacking anyone I'm only fighting back.

I think this whole thing is a charade and a mockery. If I'm wrong than so be. But prove it and don't call me names. Its annoying and highly offensive.

Just chill man, your a damn starfish christsakes:o Seriously man I thought you were a good guy.

I made the britney spears joke to make a point. If I came on here claiming that NOT only I was nevile's best friend......but then started to dispute or claim things because "I personally knew him"....what would happen to me? People would question me and the bigger holes in my story the bigger the flames. Thats because its a dumb thing to go on and just talk talk talk with no proof. This is the internet.

I will post here 1 more time. I will not engage you in some discussion of whether or not you are a troll.

You have ~75 posts.
~25% are 'hating'. I'm not sure where you are from, nor is it really relevant, but if you are unfamiliar with the term, 'hating' is being negative simply for the sake of being negative.
~50+% are either talking (no pics, no diaries, just talk) about what you are going to grow, what you have grown, or how few 'other' people follow up their threads.

The rest (less than 20 posts) are actually grow related. More hating than growing to me = TROLL on a weed forum.

HERE'S the difference between you and me.

Grow threads by strain. Some are a work in progress, some are complete. IMO, each thread is a greater contribution individually than all of your posts collectively.

For what it's worth, I've seen the 1 member that I have on ignore stir up a LOT of shit lately. I've seen an influx of similarly minded people show up in that same time frame. Negativity breeds negativity.

and positivity breeds positivity, so I'ma just keep on rocking the MrNice gear, and squeezing my money's worth out of my point and shoot. I'll leave all the detectives and lawyers to mentally masturbate each other.

I don't know how to respond to this other than its impossibal to contribute multiple projects if I just became a member a couple months ago. Its also easy to make claims and walk away.

I only post things that I'm personally working on. Not things with other ppl, nor do I post non-MNS strains. I don't see the point in posting pics of other plants that arent MNS, which is everything I'm working on except Shit at the moment, its about to change. MNS forums or not. I only showed another strain once to make a point of referance. I dont see the point of wasting space of posting daily shots of my Shit seedlings everyday.

Another thing is that I have nothing to prove here. So if you think those qouted links to threads are better then mine......they probaly are.

If i was aware that there was an ignore button I wouldve pressed it one sam's wife and spared my fingers from the get go. Thanks for the tip.

I'm not being negetive. Quite the contrary, I do not think that 25% of my post are what you called "hating", if I question things its because this is an industry that breeds misinformation. Sorry its reality. I would think that MNS members espeically would understand this.

Another thing I would like to point out is that there is an overall lack of picture involvement on this site. I'm willing to do what I can to change that by documenting all my MNS grows in the future so long as I'm not continually attacked and called names. There are ppl with 1,000's of posts individually but how many pics were posted this year? I can at least say that I am showing what I am actually doing. There is a huge percentage that shows nothing, and thats fine too. I'm also DOING something which alot of ppl don't do, so don't hate on me if all I can show is 2 months work in a new place thats a constant work in progress. I talk and I'll show the walk.

Internet forums are places to talk and discuss things.


Best of luck patrick and thanks for the 1853 pics you must have contributed (well you have 1,853 posts), oh and barletta too.

I'm going to take a break of this site for a minute and spend time with my plants.......peace

The Peacefulness Of This Site And The Members Here Are Top Knotch

But I Always Bounce Back

Do Not Lower Yourself, Rather Wait For Those To Come Up To Your Level

Happy Holidays JKP. you remind of some-one from some place; maybe HG or Cannabis Collector, both of which just disappeared never to be seen again.

I said this many times, what happened 25 yrs ago has nothing to do with today other than stir up shit. I do not even understand what jesse's point was in posting it. It is no educational, it is unfactual rumor which has been passed from forum to forum. Honestly, anyone can google up subjects and write a informative post, however how factual is it really if the info is not, and cannot be verified.

So now we move on, or so I hope, for I have the 20+ ft. monster I'm bout to try to grow in a 20 oz fuckin cup.

Happy Holidays to all on MNS.
 
I would have loved for Sam Wife to post the seed catalogue collectibles. That would have been such an awsome thing to do and remember old times seed lists.

Well SW if you read these just for your knowledge there was one guy at a time who had loved to see your old seed catalogues. From Sacred Seeds, Cultivators Choice or whatever you had.

Sad u left us :(
 
JKP, I won't be going away. I WILL be adderssing the troll problem that this site currently has. If admini/shanti won't, I will. I don't care if I keep getting PM's from admini telling me that I'm breaking the rules. Maybe admini should pay less attention to the rational people, and more to the shit starters w/o grows.
 
I never start a "Shit" without finishing it, usually 7-8 weeks.:p

All of Sam's catalogs were handwritten, anyway all the ones I seen out in Ca. were. Some varied in color and the earlier ones did not have some of the strains listed in the '85 one which is posted.

I do know this, the first Skunk('79-'80ish) I got was out of SFV which was great, but lacked the distinct flavor of the Skunks which came later, say '83-'87ish. It also took slightly longer to flower than the later ones. however it had that distinct skunky Columbian smell. Anyone that ever traveled to the Santa Marta region of Columbia know that smell. I think the Afghani added made it even more pronouced, for the Afghani I got from the Northwest said to have come from Canada, was a stinker, and not a pleasant stinker either.

Many of the old catalogs I had were lost when I was busted by the Feds in '87. People kind of helped themselves to my collections of HT mags, my grow and breeding journals, clothing, all my dead stuff; including my autographed N2O tank, and my blotter collection(a full pic of every print from '77 to late '86).

Patrick is not going anywhere, he is a starfish for christ sakes. We all know what would happen happen if he left Bikini Bottom.:D

Anyway, I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday season. I have some Thai X3 seeds to deal with. I wonder how well these 15 ft + monster will fair in a 20 oz container? Maybe 12/12 from sprout?

Can we please just chill and enjoy this forum for what it was intended for; growing, breeding, the sharing of such knowledge. I do enjoy some of my old genetics, and talking of them, but trust me, things have evolved so much and I feel in time once we get past all these auto-flowering & feminised crazes we will see new and even more advanced strains appear.
 
hi all,
from the quality of the last few posts, i'm hoping we might be almost over this recent 'bump in the road.' i've said as much to sativalvr & others, but i regret my part in getting everybody so stirred up.

i'm not a christian, but in the prevailing spirit of the season i'd like to offer my apologies to members skunkha and gertbflow for singling them out. my points could have just as easily been made without finger-pointing. i still don't agree with the beliefs you've both presented in this thread, nor in the negative manner you went about presenting them at the expense of Sam's Wife, but lets let bygones be bygones.

gertbflow, i don't appreciate the multiple personal insults nor the implication that i concocted a Sam's Wife alias to reinforce my points. but i'm willing to set all of that aside, and am hoping that my extension of multiple olive branches here will reinforce that i'm here to put community first, and personal politics dead-last. i hope you'll choose to do the same.

to the rest of the Mr. Nice community, i hope that you'll continue to welcome my presence in this forum & overlook some rash words. call me a hopeless optimist, but i'm guessing that this recent negativity might eventually turn to something positive, like a closer-knit community... for instance, i made the mistake of calling sativalvr some childish & ill-considered things, but after a bit of mature dialog between he & i, i've come to believe that i made a new friend in the process. :)

so let's keep on growin', both collectively and individually! what do you say? :D

good spirit of positive energy Jim

I deleted 2 posts of mine which were not very constructive. Human drama is a component of our relations which each other. However, too much drama takes away from the celebration of life which is also a vital and necessary part of our existence.

Best regards, S.

Thank you jimdankness all inflammatory remarks have been deleted.

Lets all chalk this up to holiday stress and to everyone I hope you all have wonderful holidays and successful harvests throughout the next year.

One last thing that bugged me-
I also had to look up the definitition of "trolls" because I had no clue as to what the hell that was, and from my understanding its someone that starts crap, and then gets a new member name because he wants to start fresh, isnt that right barletta, I mean patrick?
