Digging the structure on these bromie. Nice to see the mystery unravel.
Thank you for dropping in and shining some light. Hopefully some others can help fill in some missing bits.
Do you know if the seedman credited as the breeder is still around somewhere? Not that its very likely that I could find him.
Did any of the aromas ring a bell? Even if not for these specific seeds. Do you remember anything from 'the day' that would have fit any of them (black licorice, pine, sticky fruit)?
You don't have to go out of your way, but any other puzzle pieces would help me try to make a... ahem... educated guess.
They were really trich covered and sticky and made a nice pile of sift. And they were really stanky early through mid flower. I almost thought I had some old skunk genetics in there for awhile.
If you can upload them, I can help you get them posted. And thanks again
Kind of spooky how I decided to ask for some info at just about the same time so many people from early on entered idiits cohiba thread.
Very cool that Bigsur51 was able to solve the mystery for you. Absent his explanation I would have voted towards the original M-39 from SSSC - but seed from that stock is now about 17 years old. Was real popular in its day.
Added edit: FWIW on your original post. The SSSC never did refer to any seed by lot number. I tracked the dates when the bulk boxes of seed would arrive at my crib, but nothing even shipped by them refered to a lot number of used that word.
