Papaya is a great strain for fibromyalgia / pain / insomnia / couch-lock. I had this for several seasons indoors and was always happy with the quality of the final results. It was not a heavy yielder, YMMV.
I was recently looking at the write up on the Nirvana site and am now scratching my head... The lineage listed on there says "Jack Herer x Skunk#1", when I know that it was originally written up as "Citral #13 x Ice #2" and is even backed up by searching Leafly, kindgreenbuds, and other sites. I know that the lineage description when I ran it was the Citral/Ice and when I see now that the description of the lineage has no commonalities with it.

So I'm both bummed and interested in which of the following is true:
But, at the same time, if Nirvana has tried to "beef up" the Papaya genetics, wouldn't that also effect the number of possible phenotypes thrown? A 4-plant lineage of C#13 x I #2 x JH x Sk#1 will create a lot more genetic diversity any potential seed may express through phenotypes, it would seem than a 2-plant lineage.
Or, there could be some other explanation, but it seems somewhat shady otherwise.
Anyone have anything on this?

So I'm both bummed and interested in which of the following is true:
- The seeds being sold are now what they claim to be (JHxSk1) and the smoke will be different (similar yes, but as a patient I wonder if the cannabinoids and terpene differences alters the medical effect?)
- Another possibility is that this is the "OG" Citral Ice#13 x x Ice #2 seeds but being given a "new lineage" / marketing "name recognition" with the JH x Sk1?
