Almost a year since this thread has been updated and Phylos has gotten more populated and therefore, much better. I wanted to make an observation that isn't necessarily landrace related, but is still near and dear to many: the genetic origins of the NYC haze, aka piff, aka frankie, etc. There's a very lonely "star" in the Phylos galaxy labelled as "NYC Dominican Piff Haze." It lies about halfway between the (green) Colombian strains at one far end of the galaxy (the genetic roots of "haze") and Northern Lights #5. Here's a link to the genotype report:

The piff genotype only shows one close connection, to GAL357, which is labelled "Court Collars Cough." A play on Fort Collins Cough (an elite Nl5Hz clone) perhaps? Interestingly, GAL357 only has one other connection, to A5 haze, submitted by DNA genetics. So is the piff is most closely related to an Nl5Hz and that's most closely related to the A5.

While Phylos is far from perfect, it is intriguing, and I think this is another line of evidence that the piff likely was found in one of Nevil's seeds. Although it could be a Neville's Haze, my theory is that it's an NL5HzA. The Haze A male was lost in a raid before its progeny seed was sold commercially, but Nevil has said that he used to meet individually with large-volume buyers at the Cannabis castle. My theory is that Nevil sold some Nl5HzA seeds to one of these individuals who was affiliated with the Dominican syndicate. All speculation, of course, but that's my theory and I'm sticking to it until a better one comes along.

Northern lights #5 comes out looking like skunk btw. Definitely not Afghan x Thai.

I've been trying to figure out the make up of original haze by looking at it's hybrids like SSH. All haze hybrids score high in the hemp and cbd components and some landrace. No obvious relation to any specific landraces. Colombian constantly clusters with Thai but some South American strains cluster with African strains.

“Marijuana arrived in Colombia thanks to the aid of the USA in 1930. Seven years before the USA made Marijuana illegal.. In 1930 the department of agriculture of the United States (USDA) created a project to promote the different uses of marijuana. United States knew that marijuana had immense medicinal potential and industrial. The USA did not want to use American lands so they decided to go to Colombia to develop the project. The Marijuana utilized for this project was brought from The Island of Borneo. Borneo and Colombia are very similar countries in question of environment. Both countries are situated in tropical rainy forests, the perfect environment to grow Marijuana and for this reason the USA chose Colombia for the project. Colombia is a very tropical country. In 1937 the USA made Marijuana illegal. The projects were canceled. The gringos that were working in Colombia on the project had to return but they never destroyed the plants. They left the ones that were working with in Colombia.”

I have seen some strains have disappeared from the Phylos Galaxy And some changes of name in others.

Phylos are seemingly updating their page, and has been for awhile, and because of this the site doesn't work very well atm. With some strains you can see the genetic web-table but for some/most there's no related plants showing yet.

I believe the site will be more useful after this update cause now the genetic- table will show more related varieties and the analyses of the same cutting won't take all of the space; they're seemingly grouped now.
..but it's be taking longer than many of us would like ..months and months.
