I may be terribly wrong and this subject could be a too... but I have the impression that african genetics are rarely present in legendary strains (e.g. Skunk, Haze, WW, NL etc.). There's are the (Pure) Power Plant and some Durban varieties but apart from that not much... Why so?
Did the breeders simply not mentione that they used them in their crosses or is there an other reason, like bad performance as hybrids (but for instance TTSC and Mandala prove otherwise) or mainstream-unsuited taste (liquorice, carrot, or an oily aftertaste)?
I know, there are quite a few landraces commercially available and, according to my notes, the african sativas are even the biggest fraction. So african genetics aren't bad I think... Any ideas why they are underrepresented in the 'holy grail' strain gallery?
