Grail Question.

Hello! Nevil.... I am so happy you are sharing with the community with what you know concerning Haze. I have tried to keep my genetics as pure as possible with the best males possible. I am very much interested in an extreme haze plant you write about and was wondering when this will all be possible since time really is SHORT. I have actually considered LaNina as a breeding male for my projects, and was the haze B used or was it A male used? I sure would like your future GRAIL when available, but LaNina will have to do for enviroment I grow in do to mold, and very,very tropical. Thanks for your knowledge on the very interesting Haze subject.I would love to grow them in my enviroment surrounded by ocean when available. peace, resinbud ;)

I wonder whether the Burning Bush was actually HzBros plant/s or Sams as its not perfectly clear in Sams above post.
Burning Bush could be a HzBros' selection that Sam just named and may also worked on later , but maybe Burning Bush was from what Sam found grew and selected..

dont think to much into this ,haze bros were not even growers remember SAMS has just admitted this as has our friend hooteroll from here at MNS

quoted SAMS
Don't know who Hooteroll is, except I don't think they post here on IC.
I am glad you three were the Haze Brothers, and you are just smokers, and I am sure you did get "R" toasted for the High Times article. And I am the first to admit that the two real Haze Bros "the growers" did not call them selves Haze Bros until long after the High Times article came out, so what does that mean?

if you read my above quote from SAMS in post #124 he states
There were only Two Haze Brothers and they did not go to NYC and visit HT
contradicting to his above post ,then he goes on too say
And I am the first to admit that the two real Haze Bros "the growers" did not call them selves Haze Bros until long after the High Times article came out, so what does that mean?[/
thats not true either as 2 other fellas have said this before him


some of the many reasons it is hard for me too really believe wat SAMS has posted


the thai leaning haze had nothin to do wit OHAZE aka haze bros haze ,becaz thai had nothin to do with the lineage ,until SAMS as he said tried to save the line

thus isay SAMS haze and nevs stock is from haze /haze hybrids created after 76 or 81

sams is no haze brother ,just the man too thank for the spreading and preserving

hi Nevil,

thanks for your input once more
Aside from what Sam did regarding breeding etc , Sam has really done lots of research , was first to experiment with a lot of things and has shared a lot from his knowledge online for all to read. You , I , whoever , may not like his character or whatever..but he has certainly contributed in the canna scene and understanding of the plant more than most. So like with you , Shanti etc..credit should given..where its due.


hi Resinbud,

LaNina uses a pure Haze , neither A or C according to Shanti and it is a female plant. Unless otherwise stated..this is the HazeB from Nevs selection , the A and C males also come from. I really loved the hazy LaNina f1s , had very nice fuel like taste and upflifting euphoric high. I think a hazy LaNina crossed to NH might worth a try..


hi Bigherb,

"the thai leaning haze had nothin to do wit OHAZE aka haze bros haze ,becaz thai had nothin to do with the lineage ,until SAMS as he said tried to save the line

According to Sam Haze started as Mex crossed to Colombian then S. Indian and Thai were added later by the Bros. Sam never said that he added Thai to the Haze , it was already added when the bros were developing the haze and it was before he got seeds and grew haze himself. So where do you base your claim ?

If not mistaken Sam said he gave the Thai genetics (used in Haze) to the Haze Bros breeders of O.Haze. Whether this is true I can't say..but eitherway it was the HzBros that used that Thai , in their greenhouses not Sam in his garden.

Afterall..Nev said the haze packs looked really old and the labels had dates on them.

According to Sam Haze started as Mex crossed to Colombian then S. Indian was added and Thai was added last , around '74 , one year give or take, according to Sam's haze development dates. Sam never said that he added Thai to the Haze , it was already added when the bros were developing the haze and it was before he got seeds and grew haze himself. So where do you base your claim ?

UNC

you know where i base my claim ,we hav discussed this many times

i will not add anymore info until i put out my article out

i was just trying to not hav you lookinto somthing that is not there

my claims that i make now as for proof or where i get my opinion
http://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=8747&pictureid=191745

as i have stated in my last few post why havnt we seen SAMS offer the parents he has used or given to the brothers ,if their are numerous pure offerings


why is sams not sellin the seeds of the parents he used to create the skunk and ohaze if hes sellin pure malawi ,pure napali,south indian 1-3 all from the first seed catalouge of 81 sacred seeds


then again the acapulco gold sams list in CC catalouge #4 says produced in 84 in mexico ,no seeds grown yet ,although her offers a indian sat ,it says developed on usa east coast wtf


Sam never said that he added Thai to the Haze , it was already added when the bros were developing the haze and it was before he got seeds and grew haze himself. So where do you base your claim ?

some supporting quotes that show quite the opposite

I knew the Haze Brothers, they were both very close neighbors and friends of my family, I helped them with their work. I knew them before they grew the Original Haze and after they stopped growing the Original Haze.

Wrong, I said the posts that claimed that Original Haze was developed in hippie communes was BS. RCC had it right except for OHaze had many males used, over many years, Colombian, Mex gold, O Haze, some Thai, a little S Indian.

-SamS


gave the Thai and S Indian Kerala genetics to the Haze Bros to use and they did. They never did add any Ceylon (Sri Lanka) genetics and I am glad because the herb in Ceylon is crap. I lived and traveled in Ceylon several times, and spent time hunting local genetics. All the local sadhu smokers wanted S Indian ganja because it was so much better, they all complained about the lack of good Ceylon herb, and loved to smoke Kerala or Indian/Afghani hash. They all said that Kerala weed was much better then Ceylon weed, they should know.

-SamS

not to go tit for tat as it is all respect and love

but i can say the same to you ,soo where do you base your claim ,if you believe SAMS had the 69/70 stock nev spoke of and the thai was added the second or third year how does your statement make sense ,the thai was added before he got seeds but he had stock of 69/70 and 66 that doesnt add up ,its not possible ,more soo how do you know wen SAMS receieved his stock/first grew haze its never been posted by him nor anyone else

another note
in the quoted post below it seems SAMS agrees there were 4 5 stated varieties or phenos the haze,as ive mentioned to neville if all of these sativas were crossed in the fashion SAMS mentions dont you think we would see more variation

last note
quoted from lets talk haze and her hybrids in history,the market or the labs thread at ic BELOW

keep in mind SAMS has not told the exact verison of events atleast since ive been on the net soo this is all from our assumptions.this was my direct recent post to him inmy thread at IC

my post
from the story that is told by you and wat has been implied or thought for all this time becaz i specifically asked with no response ,but atleast not in this thread do i find you mention the order in which you say the ohaze was created but you speak of the haze wit thai bloodline and south indian you gifted the brothers

HAZE History???

They experimented, taking a variety of pure sativas and crossing them. A combination of several sativas, including a Mexican/Columbian and some Thai, resulting in a long season sativa that produced great results outdoors just inland of Monnterey. The brothers ggrew in the mountains, where their crop was protected from the wind but still recieved the tremendous amount of light needed to develop big buds. When mature their plants werre very tall between six-twelve, with long thin buds that produced whispy red pistils. The aroma of the dried buds and smoke was complex and sweet, and the high it produced was very intense and cerebral with a psychedelic edge. Known as the Haze. the variety became popular in the Bay Area of California during trhe next decade.
The Haze brothers eventually retired, but first they made a visit to the Netherlands, where they met with Nevil, a breeder whos name has often been associated with the Haze and its hybrids. Nevil acquired Haze seeds from them, preserving the strain and using it for many crosses.He found that a pure Haze was a difficult variety to grow, requiring proffesional care and alot of patience because of its long season.. but it was very good for hybridization. Today, the Haze variety appears in many crosses that are available, and remains a favourite of many sativa connoisseurs.

Copied from the Big Book of Buds
....

Only problem is this is not true, it is made up lies. The Haze Brothers never came to Holland . PEROID!
The same with the post by No Where-Man,

"Tracing back the history of the "queen of sativas" is like putting together a puzzle with many piecs of information that have been reported by several breeders and other insiders in recent decades."

It has very little truth and is just a bunch of lies made up by by the author.

-SamS


i love you all my brothers especially you L33t

im gonna let neville do the talkin and hush about the history caz i dont want to stir this pot anymore

hi bigherb

The fact that we haven't seen Sam offer the parents he used/gave the HzBros in that catalog would not prove anything at all in my opinion.
but i can say the same to you ,soo where do you base your claim ,if you believe SAMS had the 69/70 stock nev spoke of and the thai was added the second or third year how does your statement make sense ,the thai was added before he got seeds but he had stock of 69/70 and 66 that doesnt add up
Well I base my opinion on what Neville posted about the dates on the labels('66-'70).Seems you either doubt Nevs words or believe Sam maybe gave Neville stock that was wrongly labeled which doesn't make much sense imo. You never know tho but considering Nevs posts on the old seed bags it seems highly unlikely.
My statement makes sense..I believe Haze was not developed from 69-70 till ~'75-76 as Sam has posted over the years but earlier. Neville's 66-67-68-69-70 dates on his haze seeds bags make me believe Sams dates were not right and Haze started to develop earlier maybe '66 onwards.And if also the story of haze development is as Sam said (started as Mex x Col then Thai and S.Indian added later) that would explain the fact that HazeA and C have Thai influences/expressions , cause if the development of haze started earlier on , before '69 , the Thai would have been added late 60s not early/mid 70s. And so the 69 seed Nev found HzC and A would contain Thai.But thats just my hypothesis , to me it makes sense and explains why we see Thai in MNS HazeA and C that come from '69.
more soo how do you know wen SAMS received his stock/first grew haze its never been posted by him nor anyone else
Here is info from Sam:"except the only Original Haze seeds sold prior to the 80's were mine, That I made after 1976." Source here
"OHaze was fairly consistant as F1's but by the time it was f5 and above it segregated out into many different related lines."
"I have not worked Original Haze as much as tried to save it, I collected as much seed as I could in the early 70's grew them and did free pollinations and did minimal selection to ensure I saved as many genes as I could."
Source here
seems SAMS agrees there were 4 5 stated varieties or phenos the haze,as ive mentioned to neville if all of these sativas were crossed in the fashion SAMS mentions dont you think we would see more variation
If Nev had got more plants from the thousands seeds we could have a clearer picture but its hard to draw definite conclusions with just the 7 plants he managed to get from the old seeds.Plus the 4-5 different varieties of Haze Sam and others describe probably refers to plants from different years in the haze development. Nev only found 6 plants from 69 and 1 from 70. Remember according to the stories each year was different , so without experience with all years' seed its hard to make assumptions. But its expected to see less variation since Nev got only plants from 69/70seed and not from the other years
keep in mind SAMS has not told the exact version of events atleast since ive been on the net soo this is all from our assumptions.this was my direct recent post to him inmy thread at IC
I do not know what exactly you mean above but Sam has posted the story on development of Haze:"Original Haze is the name given to a Hybrid variety developed from Columbian And Mexican with Thai and South Indian added later."

Story from RC Clarke (Origins of the Species):
"The Original Haze is a late-maturing variety from Central California and was almost always grown in greenhouses, allowing it to finish in December or January. Original Haze was always connoisseur stash, and even in the 1970s it sold for as much as $200 an ounce. Original Haze is a pure sativa stabilized hybrid arising from crossing all of the best females with a male of a different imported sativa variety each year. Starting with Colombian/ Mexican hybrids grown from seeds from the first crop, a South Indian male plant was used as a pollen source the second year, and a Thai male plant was used the third year. Depending on which year Haze seeds were collected, they resembled either Colombian, South Indian, or Thai plants. Original Haze varies in taste from citrus Thai notes through the gamut of sativa highlights to the deep spicy purple Colombian flavor most common in Dutch Haze cultivars."

Sam's comment on the RCC story (posted over Icmag):
"RCC had it right except for OHaze had many males used, over many years, Colombian, Mex gold, O Haze, some Thai, a little S Indian."

here is a post from Sam that is from the Cannabis World site days:
"All of the S Indian and Thai crosses were toward the end of Haze production. Not only males were used for crosses. The 3 year timeline was just someones dream , Haze was grown for over 10years by the haze bros , Sacred seeds tried to stabilize Haze with mixed results.The quality dropped considerably.The problem is that the best Hazes were F1s Hybrids , and Haze stabilization can not be done without a loss of vigor.
Also I never chose males for hybrids, you do not know how good they are or their ability to contribute to a new hybrid. I use haze females , and I do have a few Haze males that I selected from hundreds of males , after testing their progeny first. But it is a lot of work and beyond most closet breeders. The progenys growouts involved thousands of plants. Just to determine the best haze male to use for Hybrids"

Haze B Female

Thanks L33t for your information concerning LaNina Haze female B that was used for this cross, and I did know that a BW daddy was used in the mix I was just high. I do think that LaNina is a great combination not ever growing it. Looking at all the MNS sativa gene pool, I would think that without Skunk or NL in Lanina, this could be the cleanest euphoric mix experience without the hangover the next morning. LaNina could be the cleanest high on the market today, but my AF x HZ mother plant is probably the Best Haze plant one could encounter, {other than NH}, and could very well be my Grail of all time. I would like to breed her to the best male possible for the ultimate haze. I have considered NH as a possible daddy to my favorite girl that is a MASSIVE momma plant. What do you think Nevil ?about the best possible MNS Sativa for a daddy mix? NH,BW,? If you could only use MNS genes and NO one else Sams,etc, What would it be from MNS for the best daddy so I don't have to wait?I am actually high as shit right now smoking ASH:D Thanks peace, resinbud ;)

La Nina is the star of my garden. It has the most beautiful, positive, uplifting buzz. Stinks like fuely cat-pissy creamy mangos.

LN and my incensey/peppery SSH cut make me happy and allow me to have a decent life with my Fibromyalgia. They don't kill the pain as much as take my mind off of it and give me energy to get out of bed. to do things. I was a HUGE Haze head in the 90's, starting with Silver Haze and NL5 Haze from Sensi than Skunk x Haze from GHS. I stopped growing and then got this disease, I would spend months in my house without leaving - had everything delivered. I got the Haze back in my life and now I am playing music again (for a living!!!) and have friends, a puppy, a beautiful girlfriend - all stuff that I was unable to have when on the pharmaceuticals.

Thank the gods for the Hazey hybrids.


Have y'all stored seeds in plastic for years? Have you ever seen what it does to plastic bags? It makes sense to me when Nev says the bags looked like they were old.

Hi Resinbud, Ronin, Nevil and all,

La Nina is the star in my garden also. in love with her since it was called El Nino.

as for storage in plastic: I store my seeds in plastic bags, label them and clear tape them shut. the bags then go into an air-tight canning jar and is refrigerated. when planting time arrives I make sure the containers which the seeds are in comes to room temperature to avoid condensation on the seed packets. the seeds were "well-dried" before storage initially also. I hardly ever grow all the seeds in a packet at once so I'll cut a corner of the plastic bag, measure out the seeds, and re-tape the bag putting it into the canning jar and back into the frig. seeds retain viability for extended periods using this approach.

NH x LaNina

I don't have either of these genetic's, but a mix of these two genetic's I believe would create the most haze available from MNS in my opinion. Nevil, this might be the best combination for the trues't haze available in seed form. That NH would breed well with LaNina, and would be another stellar genetic if offered to us. I will wait patiently for this mix of the best Sativa genes in the world, and it would more than likely win a cup. I will wait patiently for this combination, and will buy them when they are made available. Lets keep it in the family. Who wants Hermies from thai plants, I sure don't. NH x B haze x LaNina x NH x Hz C male x LaNina. peace, resinbud ;)

yes thats the one :)

it works here fine but try this: select all the text you want to become centered by keeping down the left mouse button and dragging across/over the text you want, then click the align button then preview the post

what is it exactly that you want to do? I m not sure I understood

Oh maybe you have a problem with 'blank space'. I think sometimes the areas that do not have any characters used are omitted or something and when you preview/post the empty spaces are automatically readjusted or something

so if this is the prob , i usually solve it by using full stop dots to represent the empty space if that makes sense

this is an example of what I mean:

soo is the idea crossing a nevs female to a nevs male ?

id love to hear more about the ideas of the grail

Finding the Grail !

I am on vacation at the moment, and I get what you are doing Nevil. That will be a nice history lesson once it is organized by you. I was woundering why NL was added to the Sativa line you created? If the haze C male was bred to your existing haze B female wouldn't that be a creation in itself for a full blooded Sativa Haze ? or would you have to go the long route and breed C x B x C to make a thorough bred? This way you won't have to rely on outside seeds that may not be what you were told for a true haze plant. This is what I meant by keeping it in the family, and would be very satisfied with existing stable involving your genes. Thanks, resinbud;)

well id lov too see the haze C squared and BC haze but neville has said the same as SAMS crossing haze to itself doesnt show improvment and actually said
People who think that B.C. is the hope for the future ( if it can be resurrected) are likely to be disappointed

although i though all long crossing the haze B female with somthin such as NL5xHzA(2) or the OSH A5 diesel might be another story

hi resinbud
Hz B was never a pure Haze plant. Nev said it expressed as a hybrid and when he crossed it with C male , the progeny was very fast flowering which shows it was not pure. Also..Didn't you notice that LN has extremely fast haze phenos. That explains the fact that HzB is nothing like HzC where the progeny usually produces plants with longer finishing times.Plus from what I read from Nev and found myself as well , the HzB is not as good as HzC , its very VERY special and different , but especially in the raw potency department I find HzC and A are superior.

Anyway I do think LN or HzB should be considered like others said as I had the chance to find couple great up to par with selected MangoHazes and NH.

Hazes

Hello L33t... I knew the LaNina was a fast plant, and was hoping haze B would be better than most even though south indian is in the mix. I know that Haze A is No longer around if I read about it properly. Neville I guess you will have to buy a few packs of Kali Mist to mix it up a little just to make it easy for you. I am sure most of us on this site would be amazed at what you have in the archive, and I am sure you already figured it out and we will all won't be surprized that you will eventually have the Grail of all Grails and please share these when you make it happen. I just smoked some MW sister giant female and I am very satisfied even though she is 50% haze. This stuff is BOMB ass WEED!!! I just love vacations were I can just get ripped and high as can be. resinbud
