well i believe he is new.but to be honest im not sure... i know the original owners Z and his brother..i have known them since they literally opened on friar.with their other partner james... crazy to think how long ago that is now and how far they have come..makes me proud to think some of the stuff i taught them they utilized and gained on it and are doing well now......and am cordial with the new partners.. i havent dropped cuts in years to be honest. to much work so we donate mother plants... if at all to any where and last places were in norcal about a year and some change ago..
That's some cool history on Progressive Options. I've been over there quite a bit, lately, slowly picking and choosing different cuts from their library. I'll have to put in a request for some of your strains the next time I talk to the guys over there. Your mendo purps cross looks really good, the Blackwater, I believe.
About the mendo area, and humboldt area, too, I'm planning on taking a trip up north to Humboldt to get some of the original genetics from a dispensary or two. I'm going to keep what I get from up there as mother plants. If PO wants a few cuttings, that'd be great; but it's more for personal reasons that I want them... I'd like to give out cuts to a few clubs down here that have grow areas and keep clones. It'd be awesome if you took a few and seeded them out. That's going to be my spring break... going up there, and then back down to LA.
