Just to be clear on things... HB bx2 has been a booger for brewers more so than any strain of KG's through the years, at least from what I've read. I've grown it since his very first drop and bought three more packs through the years, the most recent being LAST month. My beanventory is bound to be pushing 200 strains, now, and I STILL go back to get Happy Brother bx2. Like I told KG, let my tax return come around and I'll buy out all the HB bx2 and Sour Jack that I can find.
A buddy of mine will soon receive my two remaining packs of HB bx2 to see about finding a sweet lady to hit with a proven Lucky Charms boy. We plan to call this cross, "Happy Go Lucky."
I just think there is something special in those genes and don't want anyone to get the impression that HB2 isn't VERY special. I've been fortunate that ALL of my HB bx2 have been vigorous and gorgeous. Each garden they've graced, they've done better than all the others. I know I have a unique experience with this strain, but that's just another reason for me to love it more. If KG had a fresh batch of these, they'd be my first recommendation to most people trying KG's gear...
Hands down, I'd take KG's crosses that fail his testing procedures before I'd shop with many other breeders.
Grab a pack of ANYTHING he's got and you'll understand why. (I do not make a penny with KG and just trying to impress upon those who are considering his gear to go ahead and take the leap)....
