If you lived in the USA in the 90s, you hoped and dreamed that a friend would go to Hawaii or Amsterdam and bring back something. Back then "yarn" quality grows were rare.

Hawaiian would often look just OK, but would crush your brain in the best way. Most people who have tried a good Hawaiian miss it. Every island had grows and when something came from Kona good lord!

I was not aware until recently that some of the delicious bubblegum phenos originated in Indiana. If anyone knows some of the history of Indiana bubblegum i would really like to hear it.

As I have enjoyed the thread, White Widow keeps coming to mind as really one of the key breakthrough "discoveries" that changed everything. Like pre 98 Bubba Kush it has been crossed into seemingly everything.

Ok, it didn’t come from Indiana! It came from Illinois! Somebody said that back in the day an it stuck but it was widely known to be circulated out of Illinois. Adam Dun recently ( in the last year or so) has admitted to promoting that information and that he was wrong.

I find the same.
One big haul I'm in blisstown, a half second later BAM! I flash back decades to when I'd had it before.
Even see the scene around me as it was the first time, with the taste and smell powering the memory.
It's really interesting how the mind works.

That's how I learned to differentiate cultivars before they were sold with names.

Speaking of memories, Cuban Black Haze brings me right back to the 90s. Got one about ready to flower, I can't wait.

I took in a Black Haze x Piff S1 cut and a Cuban Piff cut last month on a trade. probably never grow them out but ill keep em on the back burner for trades. in Texas we never really saw these strains circulated in the 90's

It's a long, long shot but you never know?

When I younger seeded Afghan was the standard in grass, a friend/associate started dealing a little bit hash/grass, one time he arrived with this bit of amazing bud, real sensi lol.
Even now I occasionally get bits of bud that know is related to it with the taste.
So in uk late 80s what strain could it have been?
I know it could have been one of 100s but I'm looking for the usual suspects so to speak.
From memory it was more golden/light brown than green, it had a medium sweet spicy flavour really pungent.
I'd love to find it, I've never had any thats been similar in flavour only hints of it in various random bits?

I know it's a long shot but I don't expect there were to many strains available in the UK at the time?

Tbh it's unusual for anyone to sell grass/bud buy it's name, the name has become irrelevant because of people cutting corners and having limited experience, even when the name gets a mention I'm oblivious to it because of the above.
That’s the long way of saying I've not got a clue lol?
