who was is Vic High - Canada - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

amrad · 05-21-2010, 04:18 PM

I used to be a member on the old BCGA web site and always read Vic's comments especially on genetics, the guy was a warehouse of information. And after growing a pack of their mixed seeds one summer became a huge fan of their genetics.
But always intrigued me as to who the man really was, and what became of him. He seems to have vanished, or did he morph into someone else?

I know Vic High stands for I assume Victoria High. And I believe most of bcga came from that area.

He's gone, sadly, left the cannabis world. Subcool stole most of his work to pass off as his own.

ahh geez, I guess you wouldnt care to elaborate? Dont mean to be a noise parker, and certainly dont mean to interfere with his life today in anyway. Was Subcool part of bcga?
And how did he end up with their genetics? It was a group of growers no?

Well, sub took vic's Super Soil recipe and claimed he came up with it himself. Then 90% of sub's work uses a Space Queen male which is from Vic's work. Vic was a breeding genius, sub is a hack who relies on the work of others (vic).

I think he got paranoid and quit the game/left the internets. Some of his choice clones/selections are still being grown on the island, romberry and orangecrush are alive and well.

I agree with you about subcool .. but at least he is keeping the genes going somewhat.

Fuck, man. I would kill for some Romulan.

yes, his strains had a certain something, sort of reminds me of DJ stuff, very idiosyncratic. LOL Anyway as far as the man goes, I think he was at one time a botanist for the B.C. forest service, but I may be wrong. He's one of those guys that has done so much for modern cannabis breeding and is hardly recognized for his stellar achievements, I guess he left to early, he probably got sick of the politics that are involved with the now cannabis industry. Arnt we all.

I met Vic High in B.C. about 10 years ago, he gifted me seeds and a fine collection of different 'erbal representations of what he had been growing/breeding......seemed like a nice chap....I even took the Romberry seeds to Laos and gifted them to an American grower there who grew them out to great satisfaction....

I'm not sure what has happened to him......after being so vocal for so long on the internet, he seems to have faded away around 6 years ago+, and I haven't heard from him since.....would be nice to see him about again.....I remember some great posts/threads he made from the Overgrow days......

Hummm interesting Gypsy, I wonder if your American grower tried any Romberry crossed with the local strains?
