csi is working with Christmas Tree Bud crosses currently. Cant wait for them to be released. Pure christmas tree bud is unreal rare. I haven't seen it since the early 90s.

I think CSI is working with legit PTK. CSI said Hazeman's PTK is actually XMAS bud. Jaws has some xmas bud crosses I think. I used to get super piney herb back in the mid 90s. I was told it was NL.

Back in the late 90's (97/99) there was some smoke that came through the Carolinas called Christmas bud. When you opened the bag it was like stepping in to a forest of pine trees the taste was a soft pine flavor yet very full body lung expanding smoke. Very heavy body high like not getting of the couch to get a drink, you better have whatever you want next to you cause you would die of thirist before you would move kinda stone. Anyways I have been on the hunt for this strain sense I've started growing with no luck so I wish you the best of luck a and if you happen to find it let us know if it was like you remembered.

I'm working on a ptk x gb line for later in the year. The PTK side is descended from leangreens ptk work from tom hills beans via a collaborative between verdant green and I. VG did the initial ptk x gb f1 and I will be f2ing the lot this year. Tom's line is pure old school paki he released as an ibl years ago.
Fwiw I heard hazemans ptk is indeed Xmas bud as stated from the guy that hooked him up.
We will see what comes of it.

Supposedly hazeman got/stole it from jaws who got it from ndnguy who got it from me,I got it out of a bale of weed off a boat in Charlotte harbor in the late seventies.The boat was out of Jamaica.
Other than that who can really say,I don't believe half of any of it myself.

I'm running some of Hazeman's (PTK) right now which I too have read is actually 79xmasbud.... still in veg. The plants look fairly uniform but did find 1 plant with a odd genetic leaf issue. Its still early veg but they definitley have a odd smell to them... sort of a skunk mixed with the smell of sulfur from lighting a match... a slight menthol/pine smell so far, but still have a long way to go.

I am hoping for a male so I can make more beans and I will pollenate all the female PTK/XMAS Buds, as well as I will be hitting all of my other piney strains I have on deck (skywalker og, Private reserve og, ogiesel, trainwreck and GG4)

I will keep everyone updated...

I grew up in Chicago area and remember the exact same thing... People called it Christmas Bud, Christmas Tree Bud, Pine buds and they only came around during the winter months right around christmas, probably I would say 94-98 or so... The buds were always extremely sticky and dense, very hard to break up and would clog your one hitter, tasted and smelled like a fresh cut christmas tree or pine tree, and had huge lung expansion on the inhale.. truely a nice one hit wonder of the time. I remember the high being slightly psycadellic too where you would think you heard someone at the door, or see something out of the corner of your eye... however I was still in HS at the time so could have been my noobishness too. Anyhow I remember this exact same thing.. Christmas Buds and I've been looking for it ever since...

I've had quite a few people suggest strains to me that were piney.. some were: Havent grown any yet... all just suggested ideas of what Christmas bud was:

Gainseville Green
Pine Tar Kush
Xmas Bud
Northern Lights
Mexican Sativa
Mighty Mite (romulan)
Pinewarp
Freezeland
Micanopy Moonbeam


Other Pine flavored strains but not Christmas bud:
Tahoe OG
trainwreck
GG4
headband

Does anyone know a source for Tom Hills' PTK beans? I've looked and looked and the only place that may have potential was mentioned above where verdant green was remaking some of the beans... I guess he did a release a while back and won't be doing another for a while... anyone know where to get some Tom Hills PTK?
