Great article thanks ...miss that hiss of theFound this blog article interesting but I have not researched its claims as to why things are not as psychoactive now.
Why is Hawaiian the world's finest? It may surprise you.
History of Tropical Cannabis & THCV in Hawaii So the story goes, herb today is far stronger (better) than the weed of the 60’s and 70’s. It may be true that the common market ha s generally more potent and fresher ganja but that can be explained by the loss of Mexican cannabis entering the...www.bigislandgenetics.org
1 Oz can of Maui Waui opening up with the old hand held can opener & the sweet sweet smell, blueish hue like the bud pic on the article u posted
( and of course that was 1979 in Chicago of all places-$200/per can, never saw it again...!)
Then when the article mentioned African I about flipped. When going to school in early eighties Southern Illinois University my landlord was growing what he called Black African, & it it seemed to just keep getting u higher, never saw it again...miss those days
But, with all that said I’ve been happy with my grows, especially the Pineapple Express strains —pic attached- I’m going to grow it again & hope to isolate the particular genetics??? (2 of the 3 plants were basically purple-brownish—blueish green vs the one I want in the attached picture blueish vibrant color loaded with sugar & extremely sweet smell/taste...time will tell all
Hawaiian pot, the unicorn of the 70s and early 80s. That $200 an ounce number seemed to be pretty much the going rate, at least according to rumor. I knew one kid in Miami whose parents were like class A south Florida degenerates. They are the first people that I ever saw that had a true VHS porn tape collection. They also had a full cocaine accessory kit and a Porsche 928 in the front driveway. LOL. The kid said that his parents would occasionally score some Hawaiian and it was $200 an ounce, but he didn’t have any to share with us at the time. I suspect that some other types of sinsemilla we’re probably sold as Hawaiian because you can get more money for it. If I Think about when my acquaintance was selling grams of Gainesville green for $10, that says that even that legendary reefer was probably selling for $150 an ounce or so, still significantly less than The stuff from Hawaii. I don’t remember what Thai stick with selling for because it was so rare by then and I only saw it once in my life. Same with black African. I saw it once in about 1977-78. I had a very small piece of it that Inrolled into a bad pin joint. Me and a couple of other guys smoked it out in front of the Pittsburgh airport and it was pretty damn good. Very nice head high. I hear stories today about street dealers here in the south selling anything that’s halfway decent as “chronic“ or “dank“ so I am sure it’s another very fine cultivars of cannabis were passed off as Hawaiian at some point in the past. I’m wondering if some good Strains to mess around with in the search for trippy weed might not only be stuff like the Mexican airlines, but also say the world of seeds Colombian and Thai auto variants. Likewise some of the African auto variants if you can get a hold of them, like the auto Durban poison from DP or auto Malawi if it exists. I don’t know if anyone makes an auto version of the red Congo or the Banghi.
Leafly says that the photo pineapple express is a cross between Hawaiian and train wreck. Train wreck is apparently a sativa dominant cross between Mexican and Thai but with a little dose of Afghan Indica. That seems to be kind of the problem these days. There was always going to be some African Indica in the mix somewhere. Strains like Mexican Airlines, were the only non-sativa “contaminants” seem to be whatever trace of ruderalis genes are present to make it auto flower are kind of rare outside Of attempts to create a “true” auto version of a sativa Landrace.
I found this recently. Pretty hard to understand at first but quite interesting. A bunch of genetic data from different samples with lots of good comparative metrics. The genetic novelty score is fascinating to me. Very few strains I've searched so far have high genetic novelty scores. Take that as you will.

Oofda, you're familiar with all the controversy Phylos put themselves in though, right?
No sir. I just stumbled upon the thing. Now I'm curious?
