The world`s foremost breeder .
Was spreading the truth a little thinly when he made that statement . No ?
Well the description is very clear: a non haze mother is used as a haze, I call her haze but she is not haze, clear ??

IMHO/E, the "5%" ratio is for absolute keeper status. The ratio for "good" plants is much higher. You can definately find decent smoke in a single pack of haze/hybrids... the once in a lifetime plants, yeah, that's the 5%.
I'm growing a few SMG this year that were reproductions from a long held line. Hoping to be able to light dep them for the whole month of July, and then let them go for the rest of the season..
If I wanted to try and improve the OHaze I have I would grow all of them (almost 100,000 seeds I still have) in a single field and select the best 20 Females and the best 20 Males to keep as clones, and let all the males pollinate the 20 select females, or use them to polinate each other (the 20 females X the 20 males), or (the 20 females X the 20 females) and the second year grow as many as I could (another 100,000 seeds from the first years work?) of the 20 different lines from the first year and see if I can find a plant or plants that are actually better than the first 20 females from the first year, if I can't then I think I would assume that I can not improve OHaze without outcrossing. But I know that any outcrossed OHaze it will be difficult to find just the type of OHaze effects that I love, a Speedy, Clear, Cerebral, up High, psychedelic, strong effects where every hit you take regardless of the time or situation you get higher, not just more stoned or couch locked. The best OHaze has no ceiling, one of the rarest qualities to find in Cannabis besides the effects you love and outstanding potency.
Either it can be done or not, but I would still have the 20 or more including males, selected elite OHaze clones to use for outcross breeding or production, so the work would not be a waste either way. Maybe if needed new pure Colombian ladrace seeds of very very superior Colombian Cannabis could be used to help bring back OHaze to its former glory. It must be tried to find ot if it can be done or not. I hope to do this but it takes $ and time and the current Cannabis stock market has slowed down many in the trade.

hi Dark the Mango Haze test seed were very different to what was offered as a retail MH.
The MH test seed grew like NH very long flowering heavy haze expressive plants that had long flowering times.
Most of the testers complained about the jungle sats they were growing and culled them.Only Me and jesse possibly 1 other grew them out fully.
This is why the MH got re worked as they were not practical for most growers.
MM and SSH mother side are sisters the fathers are different.
Hi All
just to clear the air from confusion and before you all go making a legend from myth here is how it was done and is done still....
Nh is made from Haze C male which is made by two pure haze parents from 1969....then the female side of NH is made from Haze A combined to NL5 or NL5Haze A where Haze A was also made by two pure Haze parents also from 1969
Haze A is no longer alive only Haze C male is along with several other different sativa lines.
but plants with the lineage of Haze A are still alive and carrying the genes within.
SSH is made up of Haze C combined to Skunk 1 or Skunk HzC which is the male side, the female side is Haze C combined to NL5 or NL5HzC
the Mango comes from a parallel cross same as SSH but with one difference
Haze A male combined to Sk 1 or Sk HzA being the male plant, the female is NL5HzC....that is the breeding of those three plants
considering the Haze A is no longer a male alive, it still is alive in the ancestry of some of the plants used in all these breeds
I do not have secrets about breeding but given the same seed batches we could all still create something different...it boils down to selection.
La Nina is the widow father breed to a pure Haze female...neither A or C by the way so I hope that clears up all your doubts once and for all.
There is no one other than Simon at serious seeds who follows breeding plants like we do.Most Dutch seed companies use females plants obtained from seed batches that were passed on to them or sent to them, making their origins a little doubtful at certain stages. The whole seed industry based alot of things on Neville's origins in fact , but none except Sensi Seed had the parent plants to replicate things time and time again. Whether plants dies or were lost to disease over the years...well most companies would probably not tell anyone, but think about it.How many back ups of parent plants would you need in how many countries to be sure never to loose an important line? As enforcement on growers gets more and more restricting rooms get found etc....and the law of averages catches up on you. My last problem with the Swiss authorities I lost all plants in my library...some 42 mum's and dad's...luckily we keep backup of all the most important plants in 5 different countries and have done for years...if we had not had done this then we too would have lost alot of heirlooms. I do keep original batches of seed from years ago also in several places just in case I have to go all the way back to the drawing board to do selection again...but that is as bad as it gets for us.
As you can see it is alot of work in alot of places to just keep things alive...not to mention the expenses and time factor involved.
Lastly just to clarify things to do with this site...well I do all the moderating alone plus the pms and all questions and answers....so if there is something wrong on this site it is me who made it. I have a webman to do the technical aspects but all content and daily admin of the site is up to me. Howard will be helping in a limited way one day but he is a busier person than anyone else I know. Nev is not one for public life or cyberspace...and due to family committments is happy to do some work on plants but nothing else.So I am afraid you are all dealing with Shantibaba...whether you like it or not.
All the best now off to Bologna for a 3 day fair....take care

The Mango Haze test seed are very different animals to that of the Mango haze that was later released.Hempy jessi went back an found the very first version of that exact passage...he even made a thread about it....in that very first version ssh an mango are stated both to be haze c doubling....then that exat passage was altered to say ssh an mango both have haze A an C....then it was alterd to say just mango has the skunk haze a.....so jessi has done a thread about it saying the test seeds are a double of c as that was the very first description...an the current mango is a and c....but the current mango isnt a an c is it,....cus the discription says its c doubled up.....so wen did it have haze a in it an ssh never should have haze a in it at any point either...take alook at jessies thread "mns mango haze"..........
Has anyone seen the pictures of the germination tests of the old ssh seeds from 97/98...thers quite afew seed plants been grown out....an they look exactly like how the old ssh looked....all tall skiny plants...highly vigorous an look quite uniform like the old f1's wer.....remind me very much of how the old ssh seeds used to come out....need to see them closer to finish tho
The SSH i have posted in here are from the last SSH Nevil mate.
Your ssh looks right hempy...but some look different....shantis put down loads of seeds to test them....but wat some people have looks nothing like any of those plants....
If you have pictures of the shit haze hempy id lve to see those.....ive never seen those before.....I just thought the name was canged from shit haze to skunk haze to be more user friendly.
The shit Haze and many other pics are on a disc i have not found yet but the plants to give you some understanding were massive like the MH test seed NH like a plant could fill a grow space.
I still have 20 or more of them stored.
SSH as Nev`s Haze , Mango Haze that changed after test grows but was not explained ,La Nina that is Haze but is not Haze . And Grail Haze that was Nevil`s quest that Shanti stole the name of .
Funny how all those coincidences happened to one breeder ?
