Your link only proves you wrong. No where in there does it say anything about "Swerve and those guys then got a copy of Big Buddha's Tahoe and bred it to come out as a newer strain"
the green place had a deal with Buddha to work together for the cup. Buddha would supply the weed and it would be entered under the green place.
Buddha shows up with some shitty weed so the green place said fuck that and they went looking for better weed.
They get Tahoe OG from Swerve to enter in the cup.
They realize that they already have a deal in place with Buddha and he's spent a bunch of money on promos and advertisements for the cup so they have to work with him.
The rename Tahoe OG as Buddha Tahoe OG so that Buddha is still in on the deal.
Big Buddha decides he's going to sell Buddha Tahoe seeds and claim they're the real deal that won a cup.
Swerve says fuck that and releases Tahoe OG under the name Buddha Tahoe OG to beat Buddha to the punch.
The community whines about Swerve releasing the same strain under a different name.
Swerve says fuck it and changes the strain to Louis XIII x Tahoe (Reversed)
^that's the only stuff that swerve has said on the strain. nothing about a secret Buddha cut or anything that would imply Cali Connection worked with Buddha or any of his strains.
I'm sure Swerve himself would likely know more about the situation. Tahoe OG, famous in it's own right, reversed by Big Buddha seeds and called Buddha Tahoe, Green Palace entered (& won) a cannabis cup with it, Swerve gets his panties into a knot and also begins selling Buddha Tahoe OG, which was first ONLY a selfed Tahoe OG but is now crossed with Louie XIII. How does Swerve release the same strain under a different name?... when they very obviously were called the same thing, it was the same strain AND the same name. The "secret" cut is the TAHOE CUT (which is not very secret, nor was it created by Swerve OR Big Buddha.) It doesn't matter what you say, Buddha Tahoe OG STARTED AS A *SELFED* TAHOE OG, that being the only difference. I have already cleared up the mistakes I made in my original post. Go on saying whatever you want, but if the 2 strains were exactly the same then wouldn't Swerve say that and only sell them as 1 strain? ...that would make Big Buddha look even worse, so if that were the case then I'm sure Swerve would tell the world. They're not the same strain. I made a mistake in my original post, which I then cleared up only for you to come back so that you can argue, telling me I'm wrong but repeating what I originally posted. Tahoe OG is Tahoe OG, Buddha Tahoe OG is Buddha Tahoe OG... and it's not "Swerve's strain", Tahoe OG was around before Swerve had anything to do with it. Tahoe and Larry OG were just the most famous cuts of the original Ocean Grown Kush from the San Fernando Valley. Swerve only made a seed version of a formerly clone-only strain.
The breeders who sell the strain say it is Tahoe OG reversed (meaning selfed.) That gives them the same bloodline but a different family tree. Dinafem has a Super Silver (Haze X Skunk X Northern Lights) and their version of White Widow (Haze X Skunk X Northern Lights), they also have the same 'bloodline' but are they the same strain!? = not even close. If you buy an OG clone and self it, you will NOT get the same results you get from an original or an F1 (or F4, IBL, etc.) If an S1 produced the same results as any other cross, then why even bother with it?
