I'm wondering if Pylos has tested the Exodus cheese cut? the real one if that's possible? I'm sure they probly have andim wondering whatthe genetic make-up is?
Hard to say what Phylos has tested, and what is real and what is not from their samples. They seem to me leaning toward selling genetic testing and mapping of strains for verification of 'whatever stain' for sales purposes. But I do not see the value in that, as legal sales are limited to in-state in the US and patents are not enforceable at the federal or global level. In all the legal states that I have been, anyone can call any weed strain whatever they want. And for the black market there is no enforcement of anything.
what I'm really after myelf is some wacky weed seed(Columbian) and some Zac purple. probly never going to happen but I can dream.
There are Colombian Black (AKA: Wacky Weed) cuts floating around the PNW. I missed getting one by a few hours this summer. OMMP growers had to cull the herds this year from unlimited numbers of clones to 12 per grow card. I have also seen some seeds of that for sale. I have Zac Purple seeds by way of "real" Big Sur Holy Weed. Tiny and purple. I got the bag of seeded weed myself in Big Sur back in the day. It was just called Big Sur Purple by then, as no one there really ever called it BSHW. The strain blooms really late though and the last time I grew it in Southern Oregon we had an early frost in October, so no F1/IBL seeds. I may do another run in future.
I still have some of reefermans santa marta gold from the cannabis world days when he first set up as RM and a later generation after he worked it for a while towards the piney pheno.
I have over a dozen original 1970s Colombian strain seeds. From the better bag weed in the 70s. The last time I grew any Colombian I was still in California, and they bloom so late it is insane. Most are naturally piney. My last 'lombo run was also an all gold strain; the whole plants were turning gold in October. It started raining and I gave up on them, and put them in an old abandoned house on the lot with the main house I was living in. My lesbian neighbors found them and got some bud off of them, and told me later that, "Those were yours? They smoked up real good!" Um, OK... that was in the waning years of the glory days of cheap weed. The early 80s.
I also have around 5 different batches of the nam black from over the years,the first being from an Aussie who went under the handle "rodwall".
The nam black was some killer weed and hybridised very well, RM,s Willie nelson was a great match up with the Nepalese, two powerhouse lines.
I'm thinking of f2ing the original willie nelson and seeing what I can find in there to work off from. hard to find good Quality Nepalese lines nowdays. I'm not sure where the RSC version came from but have heard it was from RM,s line and not collected by them from there natural enviorment as a lot of there lines are.
I have a VN Black strain coming in trade that was the one used to make Willie Nelson with. I never have been interested in any Nepalese lines, as the Nepal weed from that I smoked with the likes of the Cambodian Red back in the early 70s was really harsh. I was not that taken with Temple Balls or Fingers either. Most hashish was made from harsh weed, because it was harsh weed. I expected the Lebanese to be harsh for that reason, but Lebanese Red buds are as mellow as can be. Floral and lemony. Great taste. I really do not know why they make this stuff into hashish! Other than the fact that it is on the mild side of potency. So I take 2-3 hits instead of one? So friggin' what. My nephew smokes this sativa extract that is so strong that it made my brother pass out on one hit on Christmas. I had to do a stroke check protocol on him. I am on the local ski Patrol here and I have an OEC card which is the same as an EMT II card, and I do a lot of first response medical stuff. Some of the new extracts are down right hazardous. 80% THC kind of stuff.
I was very intrested in there SE Asian lines, but they don't seem to be offering anything of the type at the moment. it looks like they are still offering there Kerala line, imextremly intrested in this one, its not the original seed from the region but a reproduction, a couple of generationsremoved but I'm sure the goodness is still in there,so would definatly be worth a look. I have been checking out there Chitrali, its identical to a line sent to me from a guy in Pakistan. He sent me 5 different Pakistani lines, unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to check them all out,but one day I should be able to get around to it. I'm hoping to find agood match to my sativas, only time and alotof work will tell.
I have been collecting more Indian sativas lately. I have a Kerala and another unnamed South Indian sativa Ganja to try growing this year. They are late blooming, but I am going to try some new methods here this coming year to get them to bloom early. I also have several northern Indian sativas, a Malana Cream and a Kashmir strain, and an Azad Paki strain. I do not go out of my way to get indicas, but I also got a few different Paki indicas this year, one is a Chitrali, and the other is through Morocco which apparently is growing half Paki strain weed now. I also have several Malana crosses, several Jamaican crosses, and some other odd lots.
I'm gettingon in years,hoping my son takes more of an intrest in the older genetics, and will continue my work. with him its all OG kush ect ectorits not worth it man. your stuck in the old days dad. he wasn't impressed with the leb,reakon it tasted weird and wasn't strong enough, just waiting for him to try out some of my sativas ive got curing away, I know its goingto leave him spreechless, litrally! haha, anyway guys,take care and keep up the great convo, loving this thread!

My nephew says the same thing. Its all extracts and OG Kush re-re-re-re-crossed and back crossed strains. He was not even phased by my 18% Grape Ape cut that I grew this year. It has a clean high and no couch effects. A few years ago I grew OG Kush and several other latest top selling strains to see what all the hype was about. I was not impressed. Its all couch lock weed. I like uplifting and mellow sativas. For me Durban Poison is the bomb. I smoke Leb almost every day, all day. A few hits here, and a few hits there... keep the bizz level and going... no need for head rushes, brain freeze or to pass out 3 times a day. I also smoke GDP to get to sleep some nights. White Widow is also a good day time high if I want to change my mood. Original WW, now called Black Widow. A plug for Shanti here... my nephew thought that WW sucked! Pure sugar coated milky white buds when harvested. Its just not dank enough I guess. Same with my ex. She thought that BSHW and Highland Mexican was bunk, and just wanted the narco lowland Colombian and pure indicas. *shrug* Good thing we are divorced, I guess?
