Chem HIMSELF lost track of the original 91 cut and can't tell you exactly by looking which one you have. It isn't what you have its what you do with it (that's what she said lol) Chem never bred anything. He just saved some seeds. The seeds were good, he kept clones, the clones went round. End of story.

And a good story it is. I'm just happy it's around. One of my favorite stains, and a mother to many.

Hell yeah man! Not going to argue there. God bless the Chem and all her glorious babies! Makes my top 3 list of all time favourite flavours, FUEL :) I just feel its useless getting bogged down in who is breeding with what verified clone etc etc. A good breeder giveth not a toot about where something is from, but rather what a plant can contribute to the NEXT generation, and the next gen is all I care about seeing as that is what we are all buying. If I want the original I can write that on my balls for all the good it will do me in finding said original will be equal to any amount of effort when it comes to results. Can't ever have the original myself. A guy like Bodhi can look at two bagseed plants and figure out how to get a spectacular cross going. 'This one with THAT daddy, the other with THIS daddy'

No I feel ya.
I do wish we were better able to keep lines known and breed for quality traits while keeping the gene pool diverse.
Bodhi does a bit of both. I have some happy plants

Yeah, thats the truth.
I'm a big fan of the elite x landrace crosses and the oldschool crosses that he does.
Not everything has to be pure OG or Chem or whatever, cannabis does a fairly diverse gene pool.
That said, Bodhi does also have kickass OG and Chem crosses.
He also said that for what its worth the Chem 91 he and others have been working with might be better in passing on favorable traits in outcrossing, but that the 'real' sk va will have more to offer in dank headstash potential.

Cannabis has a very diverse gene pool. We need to keep it that way. Unfortunately we have done a lot of damage to heirloom varieties. Bodhi is a good man for introducing landrace and oldschool varieties to newer plants and/or just straight preserving lines like his landrace's. AFAIK he also uses multiple moms/dads for his crosses but maybe I'm wrong there. This is good practice for preservation and also it can help to maintain vigor in IBLs.

Gage Green are also going the route of combining oldschool/land race and newschool herb. I really like the idea, and grow logs for stuff like Lemon Thai x OG and Miss Colombia have got me itching to invest in some for keeping. Moving forwards by looking back. I really grow outdoors a lot more than indoors so to me personally it's a dream scenario, pest and mould resistance of oldschool herb, with newschool potency and flavour. WIN. I will keep moms with those qualities for a looooong time if I find a keeper.

so how different are the real chem and the chem bodhi has been working with?

b said the Chemfather cut that he and others had been working with (now referred to as Chem 91 JB) had a bit more of a Sour D and skunk in nature, and that the original 91 SK va was more similar to the OGs in nature and bud shape.

^^^ so were mine but it wasnt nearly as good as blueberry hill imo and didnt keep the beaver around but it was better than 85%of the other strains I have done from other breeders. i found a keeper in the blueberry hill that puts just about everything else to shame!

Looks like my BBH will have a couple ceeded branches for f2s. I usually only pop half a pack or in this case three (running way too many different lines for my space but isnt that a good problem?) so i have ceeds to come back to. Still sitting on packs of ancient ogs to pop. I am waiting until i get a larger space to work the line a bit. always interested in untapped potential
