Cultivars you'd like to see the community preserve.

No preservation of modern hybrids? Why not strive to do both? Tastes are different and what you may feel is easily replacable is another's person's irreplacable staple. While I too long to see the foundations preserved in their originality I also believe nostalgia for the greats often make us forget really how far and fast Cannabis has evolved. IMO the results of that evolution are net positve despite the costly casualities along the way.

There aren't many strains that have a stronger reputation then C99. The modern day hybrids of today are tomorrows relics. People should preserve the things they like then 20 years from now we can have a plethora of genetics at our disposal. It's weird when you think about it, that what we have 10 or 20 years from now will basically be build from what we have today. I think most hot spots for indigenous cannabis have been tapped or polluted, I don't know how much new stuff will be found or people will work with so it will probably just be blends of what we have now.

I worry about our genetics becoming stale from lack of innovation, the seed business seems to be bottle necking itself as most seed makers all work on the same stuff, same genetics and same basic combinations. A lot of mish mashing of similar genetics going on, which may make for great looking bud but maybe dull or boring when all highs are basically the same.

I think the untapped resources we have are places like pakistan, iran and korea/asia if they ever open up their doors we could find some worthwhile material.

I'd like to see PTK resurrected, I think the Rez Chem DD is worth preserving, maybe some F2's of old SSSC strains to play with today that's all I can really think of off the top of my head.

Black magic! and all the different kinds of landrace strains.

Pennslvania Purple
Pocono Red
The Stuff That Killed Elvis


Does anybody grow any of these?

My point was to make this thread about the older lines that are near extinct. I think there are more than enough threads in the strain forum for modern stuff without having to make this one a catch all for every strain everyone wants to save. If you want to have an armchair botanist talk about evolution and modern vs classic please do it elsewhere. This was supposed to be about getting community members to crack open their seed collection and get the hard to find stuff back.

i know a guy who knows a guy with a epic seed collection.most people have too many seeds that they can ever grow them all so they dont mind passing them around. interesting thread.

 

[Swampdankv2]

F13. I still think she is great in crosses and adds dimension. I regret not keeping a decent male from the line.

Yeah I know and I agree with the need for preserving heirloom, landrace and unique cultivers. I was merely addressing the previous comment about there not being a need to preserve current hybrids

 

[Carlos Danger]

Ah, my apologies for snipping. I'd missed what you were responding to. Es tut mir leid!

 

[ECtraveler]

No worries, and great thread. I use to grow Kona Gold and Maui Wowie back in the late 80s and was recently disappointed to find they're next to impossible to find respectable representations of on the islands these days

 

[guerilllataktic]

some of the old sag. lines like bubbleberry,yumboldt,slyder,peak 19,,western winds diamond head... all pre 2000 of coarse there are some great plants in those old seed lines, how bout cherry slyder any one still holding her??

 

[Double Kindness]

Federation Mikado, but I heard that line is dead now, a few years ago I had some mikado x strawberry cough that looked like it was mikado dominant, but they ended up disappearing along with sol genesis cut of sol shishkaberry from my garden due to shady roomie/grow partner at the time.
Sol shishkaberry, sweet tooth #3, grapefruit, blue moonshine, and I'm looking for strains high in thcv besides malawi gold.

I was gifted some Mikado F2's from another member years ago. Ill do a germ test and see if they are still viable. They told me to expect 40% germ rates when they were gifted to me in 2011.

The member "bought out the last of Federation's Mikado f1 beans from Gypsy" and did some breeding to secure the genetics for future generations. The smoke was "smooth, super tasty/smelling raspberry flavoured smoke, high yielding, rock solidest buds I've ever encountered and a potent dreamy euphoric high that's an instant mood creator"

I have never grown them out but will if any pop from a germ test.
If anyone wants me to send some into the server fund, LMK.

Check out FOE20/ABNormal in the sag forum, they are doing lots of work. Been eyeing it for quite sometime...

 

[Hold Your Fire]

Ohhh, Western Winds nice!

What Kali Mist used to be!

 

[vostok]

Great idea, like a library ...and catalog by year
