From the story I heard from Ken's mouth was this mystical fairy tale, it had nothing to do with salmon creek or back crossing of urkle. That is why I am somewhat mocking his story because the one that Ken told me is a straight up fairy tale while I can actually believe that it could what you guys are saying it is now.Yes, but the Big Bud cut that was used is very rare, and privately held. That is one of the reasons why GDP is so unique, it's not recycling the same genetics that everyone else is using. Also, remember that Purple Urkle itself is the result of several generations of backcrossing, and breeding, to create such a desirable inbred line. Still sound like a simple combination?
I'm pretty sure that you are correct, sir, because that is what I've heard, as well.
It reminds me of this guy who wrote a book "Three Cups of Tea" He writes a book about his experience climbing the second highest peak in the world K2 in pakistan I believe. Then the story gets weird, he supposedly got lost from his group and stumbled upon this small village, the small village supposedly nurses him back to health and before he leaves the town he promises this girl he would be back to build schools (iknoright, how lucky to be in the middle of nowhere and find paradise). He also goes on to tell a story about being kidnapped by the taliban and gets a picture of his captors. Funny thing is his "captors" took a picture of him with them but he was holding the Ak 47 not the "captors"
Anyways he goes on to build some schools and write this book, he pulls a fast one over everyones head and gets all these donations from college campuses around the US. Come to find out he embelished every step of the way. He never lost his group, never found the village that day (he did one year later though) and while he built a few of what he would call schools, most of them were just buildings that didn't end up as schools but as storage. He also claimed to have built schools in the most treacherous parts of Afghanistan during heavy conflict.
Most of his stories were lies, with slight truths hidden in there. The guy spent more money campaigning his book and receiving money than he did spending on schools in afghanistan. He also used his charity to fund his book drive and has had many people who were on the board quit due to him never keeping receipts and using the fund like his personal account.
If you read through that you should have an understanding of how powerful fairy tales are, Ken fooled a lot of people with his stories but this dude fooled a whole country.
