I really hope the social clubs project will take off -- the current laws do NOT allow us to buy seeds or clones...

Let's hope that the project will also be successful!

But why do you care about seed and clone buying being an illicit act when you likely grown, consume and share your weed anyway? Where would be the point in making seeds and clones legal when you're neither allowed to grow nor to consume them afterwards?

You are currently allowed to grow up to 4 plants -- there is a PDF somewhere with all the details about this. However, it seems you'll get into the same troubles if you get caught growing today.

This is clearly gray area until it's decriminalized, but it used to be fairly simple to find seeds and clones a few years back; remember, it was only for ornamental purposes (lol) and everybody was fine about it. Every other shops that used to sell clones have disappeared from my city. I know there are still a few around in Switzerland, but still, it's a bit disappointing.. Furthermore, less shops means less varieties, I heard all kind of disappointing reports about the clones you can still get to this day ...

Oh well, let's see how it goes.

Do you mean THIS PDF?
And no, cannabis is illegal in Switzerland and there's no grey area (well, a very little one...). Consumption has recently been decriminalised, though.
Yea, the time prior 2000 was great... maybe it's coming back?

I just found some in my "swiss" fridge

But they are very old, I don't expect much...I just started the Cash Cropper in a glass of warm water to see if they are still alive after all those years.

Green Hornet Cash Cropper -> (Blueberry x Strawberry) x (Blueberry x Northern Light)
Green Hornet Jungle Jerry's Haze -> (Afghani x Haze) x Super Silver Haze
Green Hornet Madagaskar x Skunk -> (Skunk#1 x Top 44) x Madagaskar
Green Hornet Malawi Gold Pure -> Afrika, Malawi Sativa
Green Hornet Original Swiss Strawberry -> Erdbeerli
Green Hornet Super Skunk 44 -> (Skunk#1 x Top 44) x Superskunk
Green Hornet Thai 82 -> Thailand, Sativa
Green Hornet Very Berry -> Blueberry x Strawberry
Green Hornet Very Berry x Bubble Gum -> Very Berry x Bubble Gum
Green Hornet Very Berry x Super Silver Haze -> Very Berry x Super Silver Haze

real curious to know what will come out from Swiss Strawberry/Erdbeerli/Fraise original seeds were so good to run outside, knew the breeder himself... & Very Berry x Bubble Gum -> Very Berry x Bubble Gum could be real nice if similar to old bubblegum we had here back inna days... good luck with those genes biomassa!

which specific strains are you looking for mustafunk!? a friend working in growshop told me that some austrian website have most of the good swiss strains from 15 years ago, and still some auround hidden in the country...

I had the GH Original Swiss Strawberry growing outside for 2 years. It was very similar to the Alpine Seeds Erdbeer S1 from 2011.
In the first year every strain was eaten by mold but I got many mixed seeds (GH Strawberry x BlueHemp Indicas) out of it.
In the 2nd year everything was killed by hail - I got no seeds and no buds from outdoor growing that year.
btw. which breeder are you talking about? I guess all the swiss breeders had access to the Erdbeerli cut someday - there was even a male version around until 2008/Wolgrot.

i talk about the real original guy who was making the line called Fraise/Strawberry/Erdbeerli, almost every body knew him back in those days of cannatech if you know what i talk about..... this guy didn't even real smoke much weed but made real good job in breeding few lines, the most famous was Fraise...

dense compact buds, specially good outdoor in cold, strong against bugs mites & mold... i never run this strain from alpine, green hornet, swisshempshop.com or blue hemp... was straight from cannatech... wasn't at all a female cut but a complet seed line worked... so don't know why you say no male version until 2008 sound foolish... but for sure those years the clones/cuttings market in growshop was huge and most of growers were only growing from selected female cuts... perhaps that's why you though about a cut only....

but was complete seed line worked on few years by one guy only...

Err...
Strawberry (aka Strawberry Fields and later Strawberry Cough) is a US strain, Erdbeerli or Erdbeer (and later Jurabeeri) is/was a variety from Zurich where the male (if there ever was a real male) got allegedly lost, and the Fraise is a different variety from CannaTech and said to be a Dutch Skunk x Afghani. The three have nothing in common other than probably containing genetics from Afghanistan .

Something entirely OT: Why is nearly everyone here in the Swiss forum writing in English? In the Italian forum they write Italian, the Greek Greek (even with Greek letters), the Russians use Cyrillic, the Slav have their runes, and the Egyptians hieroglyphs etc. etc.
Okay, it's somewhat very typical for the Swiss to do so but seriously, a bit of Swiss German, French, or Italian wouldn't hurt, now does it? Sure, Rumantsch might be weird...

[highlem]

yeah i know Strawberry Cough or Strawberry Diesel & few more come from usa, Strawberry is like many fruits names, used a lot in the strains names game...

i didn't hear about those Erdbeerli or Erdbeer (and later Jurabeeri) coming out zurich...
i always though it was only from cannatech then other breeders like Green Hornet used it... yes there is Skunk x Afghani in the make up, like most of the strains a that time, but real special & stable line for outdoor/greenhouse, some of the best greenhouse buds those days...

pretty common to mix every languages in town like zurich, french, "german", english in the same sentence... myself speak better english than german, mais je peux parler français si tu préfères, mais vu qu'on est sur IC mag même dans les parties nationales l'anglais est préférable pour simplifier et s'adresser à tous...
Peace
