It bothers me to have such confrontation when discussing a subject.
If I was rude I apologize.
My argument stands.

Theory: If the beans that Sam sold Neville came from his days trimming the greenhouse-grown Haze, I wonder if he pocketed some pollen as well and what he sold Nev were actually seeds that he made himself. Could be why they're "half siblings" and why Sam claims that his Haze is more original than Neville's.
Peace.
It all began in 1969, In Santa Cruz, California. At the time, there was Thai Oaxacan and punto rojo or Colombian red point - some of the best landrace imports in the area, and some of the best smoke around. It was also at this time a local sufer boy named G, was enjoying his youth as many others during that era of freedom. Not particularly the cannabis lover, G. did not have the passion that most of us have for the sacred plant. Despite this, G saw an opportunity to make a quick buck while having a free smoke and some fun. In 1969, the riverside SoCal surfer backcrossed his punto rojo bagseed in what might be the luckiest” accident. This accident would go on to become most famous cannabis strain of all time. The pollen chuck created a very large amount of seed which was used for the duration of its existence.
Also a few of you say that the people in Amsterdam dont matter or should not be part of the haze history or haze story well sorry i see it different they are the ones that made haze famous in the first place and the ones that preserved it and spreed it far and wide for all to enjoy even if its in hybrid form.
...why has sam never won a cup..
i dont get it , why are you argueing about this hempy ? did your friend JessE have better sources ?
ive seen nevil post in these very forums that he indeed got haze seed from sam , and something like 7 of them sprouted , and they are actually the haze used in his hybrids
no i wont go find the posts for you , you can do that yourself , they are in this forum somewhere , maybe/probabally the grail thread
anyway hempy why dont you just leave big and his artical alone as you dont know anymore then what it says or have any proof that what it says is wrong , so in short ,,,, why are you argueing something you dont know the truth or complete history of from beginning to today ? is ,,, ah hell ill stop here , im sure its no use reasoning with you anyway
I've decided to start a new thread. It's a subject close to the hearts of many growers/breeders. It's something we need to take action on, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. We need to put aside our prejudices and ego's in this quest. It's all about the end result.
I'll give you my understanding of how to work with this variety.
As I said before, I got a total of 7 plants from the original seed stock. They were all different. The Original female (the one that I didn't keep a clone of) and Haze male A, may have been siblings, but just as likely not. Yet there was a common Haze like thread among all of them. This tells me that there was likely no pure haze among them. Haze did not improve when put back to itself as I was told and later discovered. People who think that B.C. is the hope for the future ( if it can be resurrected) are likely to be disappointed. A NL5xHzA would be the best mate for it to test this out. Haze males A+C were at best half brothers, but certainly shared a common ancestor, so my guess is that the inbreeding co-efficient to the haze ancestor in Nevil's Haze is at most 37.5%.
So if we want to go back to a Haze hybrid, we are looking for one not directly related to A or C. So don't talk to me about S.S.H. or Jack Herrer or Diesel or Sage (all the same plant). Double up HzC! I'm not saying that excellent plants can't be produced from inbreeding what we have, but we are going for the Ultimate (Grail). If anybody pinches this name I'll be pissed off.
This should start the ball rolling, I'll continue later.

To continue:-
What ever the legend behind the seeds that I got from Sam, It is my belief that the qualities in the Original Haze that we admire so much, come from Thai. I grew up in Western Australia and started smoking in the early 70's. Most of the Australian cannabis was descended from Thai and was grown in Queensland. Perth is as close to Thailand as it is to Queensland and W.A. got more than it's fair share of Imported Thai. I remember one batch was unparalleled and Haze A male's best progeny, reminded me of it. The guy was selling ounces of it for $30, but he had bags of what I now realise was loose resin, for $60. I wish that I had bought it.
Hence my desire to scour Australia for the best descendants of the old Thai imports to put back to the Haze.

cannatari there is a reason why Neville's haze and all of Neville haze hybrids won cups and are favored by so many growers around the world still to this day and its not just down to good breeding it was due to the seed Neville got and was lucky to work with.
If Sam's haze was better than what Neville him self got and used then why has sam never won a cup or why are Neville's haze hybrids still more popular so many years after he made them than Sam's offerings.
You should not assume cannatari.
He never won a cup? Maybe you meant to say he's never won a cup with haze? Sam won in the first high times cannabis cup in 1988 with skunk#1, no?
HB.
Quit putting words in my mouth, Hempy.
I did not in any way imply that Sam's Haze was better than Neville's nor did I state anything as fact which means that you're wrong for saying that I assumed. It is clear that I did not.
If anybody is assuming anything, it's you assuming that there is a need for you to go around judging everybody else's work and ideas.
Check your ego.
Peace.

Elmer i read his article and as i sed i dont buy any of his story or any of the story posted any more.
A journalists is only as credible as there sources credibility and there information that normally needs to be checked and found to be also credible and lets be honest and open here elmer what part of any of this do you believe and what do you and the rest supporting bigs article base your beliefs on.
It is commendable to see you guys support your friend bigherb but this is not about bigherb is it its about the history of a cannabis strain that has changed many peoples lives lets be frank here those that smoke a good haze hybrid often grow it out for very long times and hope to keep growing it for as long as they can because its that good.
Be a nice change to see people not over look the facts for a change and try to keep things honest and truthful.
Nev's Haze is a hybrid with phenos from 8-16 weeks?
G`day Hempy
One thing I heard the other day on the radio . The fella said you don`t need to be a bank robber to be a crime writer ...
To me Big Herb is a lot closer to "the truth " than any of the chinese whispers that have been doing the rounds .
In the bigger picture what some guys did back in 69 has little relevance to me really, other than to read some interesting prose ,and some robust debate .
That SSH and Mango Hz are polyhybrids and can take from 9 to 15- 20 weeks shows me the diversity in the genetics .
I`ll roll the dice and see what pops out . The fact that is has haze on the label doesn`t mean much to me .
The proof of the pudding is in the eating .
Thanks for sharin
