heres an interesting post on Blood made a few years ago
"Maui Waui started out as Blood. In developing the Maui Waui, in the first season the Blood was crossed with an Afghani...the following season, the resulting strain was then crossed with Thai. So Maui Waui is...(Blood x Afghani) x Thai."
Last year on another forum someone posted a thread about "Blood Sativa Papua New Guinea"
===========
"Blood Sativa ..These plants start red and go black indoors and out.
My old friend gave these to me with a very scary story about a foot chase through the jungle where he obtained the beans. He gave me all of them & asked me to perserve the line as from what I was told by him that they make up the lineage of the Hawaiinan blood that is no longer found on the Island. The seed cases are scorched black from the African sun. Out of a bunch that I started I got a male that has red & red striped balls. Weird smell to them almost like some sort of flower that I am not familiar with. I will grow more out and open pollinate them all together and make sure they get back to Hawaii. I grew some out doors last year, In Up State N.Y. I did not check on them until the fall. What I found shocked me. The plants were sticky black and did not look like any color I have ever seen on an outdoor plant before. Very racy and off balance high. My friend , - Hope you are feeling better and chime in here, says he and his friends don't like to smoke it. There is a pheno in there some where that simply is not pleasent. According to my friend, this plant was used by the Pigmys of New Guinea for a specific purpose, allededly for going to war and fighting to their death. I can't find any information on this strain. Perhaps someone can see what they can find as well, I have heard it is also part of the make up of Maui Wowie. I hope to find the alleged, "Nightmare pheno".

most of the history comes down to one heads word against another. the story ive always been told is a cali grower moved here and introduced a mainland commercial strain here, I had no idea it was crossed that much. I suppose how fast phenos change here its logical. that would put the date around what late 60's early 70's, with a hard run of about 18 years? thats quite some time. all these strains have to be somewhere in some uncles posession, ive been able to track down quite a few but some are still out there. a lot of these posts/information is by word of mouth and I look at it as lore that is part of our history, but is it canon? unless someone has more info and starts posting on the net I feel whats accepted now will stay with it. interesting stuff either way.
