I know all about that.
Early days he tried to be pretty transparent about those seeds. At least, his local friends knew all about it. Seeds from those select male open pollinations saved the day for him a few times over the years I think.
At the beginning of the Grail hunt, seeds were sold with pedigree including descriptions.
Here is that list. Note the males in #2 and #3:
1) MM X NL#5 SK1 X NL#5.AFGH
2) NH35 X KANGA'S 2004 SATIVA
3) JIM'S Hawaiian X NH 2007 MIX
4) NH36 X EARLY MM #2
5) NH42 X EARLY MM
6) NH21* X EARLY MM #1
7) NH18 X EARLY MM
8) KARIBA X NH3* (Franken fuel)
9) Super Kush Ortega x Kanga Kush
10) NH36** X OAXACAN
11) KARIBA X MM
12) GUSH G13 x Hawaiian X Kush
13) NH19 X MM5
Those are some of those mixed lots of seeds he liked to make and run.
Hard to say what parent plants were used by nevil later, but in that moment in time, things were pretty much what they said they were (except for the modern wide-leaf stuff he had collected, which benefitted from "creative naming" by Nev I assume.
The "Big Mullum" line was pure at the time and practically speaking, was embodied in a single plant that Kanga sometimes called Mullum b. He had others, but Mullum b was the MM equivalent of the Nev#21 cut in importance.
My most precious Mullum seeds are based on that plant.
Speculation about the pedigree of the Oaxacan Space Shuttle containing NL is moot (unless you are trying to reproduce it yourself for some reason.) It's a cutting, not a seed line. It is what it is. It got bred into mullum and that work was always clearly labelled as a hybrid.
Besides that, I don't think there are any pedigree accuracy issues of significance with the seeds Bushy sold through Seedbay.
I really like the clear up high from the MM78. Good smokin…
