ugh, THIS is exactly why Master Nevil doe's NOT post anymore, people SLANDERING his good name and reputation!
Get your facts STRAIGHT, Master Nevil DID share the original g13 cut with DOGLESS!
What I said is nothing to do with why Nev left, jackass.
And, it is neither slander nor has any impact on his reputation whatsoever.
Although I believe Kanga when he says "Nev said . . ."
here is another quote actually
from Nevil talking about how he preserved the G by crossing it with his HPxNL1 to create hybrids.
I think that I have mentioned this before, G13 and Hash Plant were cuttings. I crossed HP to NL1, which was the strongest indica I've ener smoked and I put males from this to G13.
It was labeled HP1.G13. People have assumed that this was a straight HPxG13 cross, but this was not the case. Their was NO sativa in this hybrid which was sent far and wide.
If you were looking for pure indica, this was the one. If a good breeder kept this pure he should have been able to pull most indica types out of this. That was my intention.

Now this is direct from Nev, talking about how he distributed hybrids. Nothing about cuts, but that doesn't mean it ddn't happen.
Then, later in the same thread, Chana asks Nev is he knows of anyone working with HP1.G13.
His response:
You can be sure of it. Usually the name has been changed to protect the insecure, but not always. There is one guy I know who has reputedly taken it to a new level. I'm waiting for the seeds. This one should be really interesting. I'll keep you informed.
N.
Gee, who could that be?
Smart money says he was referring to Jim Ortega.
You hear that? One guy that took HP1.G13 to new heights and he is waiting for seeds.
Ashling, your attack on me in defense of Nev is absurd. I am as big a supporter of Nev as anyone on this board and your accusing me of "slandering" him is the height of stupidity. Its clear you don't even know what slander is.
Next time, before you get all spun up and attack people about what you think is "the truth" on the canna-web, consider that the truth for most of the big questions of the history of our last 30 years of genetics is known to a handful of people who either choose not to share what they know or have a long track record of spreading lies and re-writing history.
Oh, and for the people posting about how G13 was a sport:
(never heard that before. Nobody knows if it was a sport or not as there is no verified true story of the plants origins.)
and G13 tasted horrible: (who smoked it to know?)
please point to references where YOU actually grew or smoked original pure G13 before Nevil's mother plant died.
Otherwise, you are merely parroting others who weren't there or were (mis)interpreting? Nevil's original strain description.
I am just pointing out that what we exchange as "facts" here are often nothing more that assumptions and theories.
