Remember the original Maui potato chips in the clear package and Maui (Kula) Onions! All of that primo farm land is becoming houses :(

Ok, I got another question for all you Big Islanders. Where can I find Comfrey? I've looked around couple spots around town but no luck. Anyone know of anyone that sells it or a spot where it grows wild? I know certain kinds are sterile and you need to get a cutting but I would like to grow my own for medicinal and gardening purposes.

Yep, i remember the Johnny Ds. that was some tasty shit, and that was before i really got into growing. it burnt slow. the ash would go out if you werent constantly chonging and you would have to light it up again. now that i think about it it was probably some early afghani shit. super tight nugs thick pods complex flavor, covered in sugar, paid top price for that one. there was another one they called the Wanky that was super tasty sweet about the same time. i buy weed still, i smoke it, it is my medicine, but there is never enough it seems for me. latest things out there are still the widow crosses, sour diesels, some trainwreck and the same old uncle man weed sativas that have a nice kick. all kinds of other stuff too, so many growers around, never dry. just the good top shit is not always available lol.

I remember them well, clear bag with red coloring. Those chips were made by a company called "Kitchen Cooked", owned by the Kobayashi Family in Wailuku.

I need to get my hands on that.... there is a seed bank selling elephant but the seed bank that sells it is almost comical. you should see there prices and descriptions, lol also I doubt that seed bank I am talking about is selling the real elephant, just copied the name. I forgot the website but it's hilarious when you read it

In my 23 years of living on the big island, I have never come across any of those legendary strains. I always thought it was just peoples way of saying where it was grown instead of actual strains.

A couple strains I remember that had a reputation back around the time i graduated from high school, were "the death," "Johnny D's" and this one we used to call "the moss" because it tasted real musky almost moss-like. Then in early 2000's, it was pretty flooded with white widow around East Hawaii and still seems to be a local favorite.

Anyone ever hear of these strains besides the WW?
I hear the Johnny's is still around but kept tight in the family, haven't come across it in a while cuz i havent bought weed in years but it used to be all the rage and had HUGE crystal covered pods.

Still, I think all those came from seeds someone either bought back then and renamed.

Someone I am very close to picked up 4 legacy strains last week.. asked me if I had ever heard of them, I said no (except the widow)...
What are the chances that you mentioned 3 of them above? LOL did he get them from you?

LOL, not me, I havent seen any of those in 10-12 years except the widow. Were they to smoke or to grow? If they have cuts of them, I'm very jealous!
Friend of mine told me he had some "death" seeds from an old-timer he brought to cali and grew it outdoors . He said it was the best he ever grew up there and outperformed all the other strains he bought from seedbanks. He just moved back here not too long ago, and he was offering me some seeds to try but i'm not sure if they were the death or left-overs he bought.

smoke report my friend, smoke report,....please! I'd love to hear you describe the taste for me. I just remember a very distinctive flavor.

It had its own unique taste, like you said. Sort of a haze/sativa taste with sweet pine in the background, really smooth. Smoked a joint of it and it tasted good to the roach! It was a good high for working, really clear headed and 'motivational'. It smokes like a sativa, I don't think the smoke is as renowned as the plant itself. They can take a beating in the rain.
It would take a couple phone calls ad driving around but I could see if he still has it.

I always likened the taste to "Junipers",myself. But back in the 70's "Elephant" & "Golden Voice", were the strains people wanted in the islands when they looked for "top shelf " products back then. See if there is any seeds or cuttings to be had...please?

I know someone who knows someone that had cuttings of it about 5 month ago, i'll see what I can do and get back to you.

Whats crackalackin' this long season in your neck of the woods? I'm thinking about germinating some Kandy Kush f2's from Reserve Privada that I made. This strain stretches like mad. I'm thinking easy 2 x stretch when I throw it outside, of funky kushy trainwreck buds. I gotta get on the ball soon and get started though, this weather is just such a drag!

That's gotta be the most uncanny coincidence then... :)
I got a call from a really good friend asking if I could help his childhood buddy with some indica beans..
I told my friend's buddy that I would happily help him..
Gave him some bubba 98 and 3 different types of OG to help with sleeping and eating issues..
Well it turns out that this uncle is a Kapuna... He deals with all kinds of Hawaiian herbal remedies.
He's actually whipping up some medicine for my brother who suffers from nerve damage.. And he ends up really being one of the kindest people I've ever met...
I even agree to give him cuts from all my stuffs that i have going now..

So he whips out a bag and tells me he wants to return the favor.. and inside that bag are 4 small newspaper bindles that had been stored in the freezer..
He told me he had been holding onto these strains for about 15-20 years. We had met in town so at the time I didn't open them up or look closer until I got home...

I had never heard of 3 of these strains before, so I didn't even want to post here on the board before I ascertained that these strains even existed.. Also I am aware that certain strains have been kept by families and I don't want to start any family arguments :)
In fact... Im gonna replace some names with ******** until I can verify those names too..

1) Puna Death x Molokai ********
2) **********
3) ********** Widow
4) The last strain just had 2 initials.. and for the life of me I could not figure out what they stood for.... Until kaloconnection made his post on 2/26.....
Those initials are JD...... which I am now assuming is Johnny D's

At this point in time.... If I was someone else reading this.... I would call bullshit on ME!!!!!
But ironically enough... Surfdout came over on Monday (Feb 25) and I showed him these beans..
LOL He can certainly verify all this....

What a fucking trip!!!!!

Hey - do any of you know BombBudBurner? I want to get in touch with him but he has not posted since August.

@ SpliffAndMyLady - I wish you could send me cuts! I quit smoking bud in the 8th grade because I couldn't afford it and it was all leaf. Then my buddy says "you gotta try this stuff, it's called Elephant" and I have been smoking and growing killer bud ever since :)

Cheers,
Mo
