Damn yeah that don't suprise me you be better trying to source the A5 or crosses or a good old Nevils haze or hybrid of it
I'm coveting the Killer A5 haze from Ace but know little about how it does. I think it has 4 main phenos I read.

It is my opinion that the old varieties Skunk1 and Afghan1 which I gorilla grew from 85 into the 90s is gone. The seed that I sent back from Sensi in 96 just was different. At the time I couldn't see but now looking back it is clear. After seed was first offered for sale in 85 High Times adds more and more varieties started to appear. With the addition of these new varieties and growers handling more strains mistakes can be made. In addition I believe that the genetic information in the original strains can mutate on their own. Nothing stays the same forever.
Excellent report. I hope more people will add their experiences here. I remember when the first wave of seeds sold in High Times ended, Operation Green Merchant and interpol warrants...wish I still had some of those old mags. I had the Cannabis Castle issue.

I know that Dan Herer has Jack Herer cuts but I don't know if he sells them. It was always too expensive for a starving artist. I smoked a bud of it once and it was a nice buzz. It is something I have always wished I could grow but other stuff happened.

Not exactly Sensi Seeds but there is potential here. I have another jar to do tonight of stuff 2003-2015.
Glad to find out I have the POG.( Not the same strain as Cali POG.)
I never grew out any of the Island Orange stuff much because it was an accidental pollination and the Island Orange was mangled in the hands of a newby outdoor grower-me. So I never knew if it was good, never reached potential and was overferted.
I did a half assed test plant of the Afghan/NL x I.O. and it heavily favored the Afghan and looked good. That one has been on the back burner forever. I do have a number of those. Didn't feel like counting them. Would let a few go to the right grower who has no worries about it and just wants to grow something old that might be decent.
I grew out some Pot of Gold x I.O. It was very earthy smelling kush plants with huge buds on compact short plants that had large colas not suitable for outdoor growing. Molded outdoors. I crossed it with the F1 Firecracker cross to try and give it sweetness and the trichome qualities of the Firecracker. This has some potential indoors but don't think that's an endorsement or anything. The one test plant was compact, slow growing, male and got tossed.
The Nl/ Afghan in these crosses was not nice sweet terps. It had some gnar to it. They called it NL but it was not the good old NL that I grew. It had Afghan crossed in that gave it some acridness and gas. Old school munchies indica stone. Leave you feeling like a beached whale.

Jar#2. Alot of Firecracker hybrid F2 anyone who wants to run a few let me know. I was testing several plants of the Skunkwarp in 2021. Busted. It still had the basic structure and hopefully had the punchy stone. The Skunk#1 x Chocolope rocks. Anyone who got those seeds was lucky. I sent some to Vlad Putin via the Kremlin in 2015. True story. I don't know of anyone who grew it out but me. Animal Cookies x Chocolope needs more testing. First test plants were like a Thai og. I liked the buzz and taste. Somewhere 250 Firecracker f2 seeds are supposed to be in growers hands in RVA. But the people I gave them too were numbnut noobs who failed to elicit a single grow report. I bet there are some killer phenos in there. The test plants I did smelled like rose scented bath soap. I noticed one omission from the list . Purple Indica x Chocolope.7 seeds.IMG_20241128_080736.jpg

What is firecracker?

It was Willy D Firecracker f2 that got crossed to the NL/Afghan. The F1's are gone and there are F2'S. I've grown 2 plants of the f2 so far. I can't tell anyone what to expect. Seeds of this went out to some places in 2016. It is something I grew alot of f1's of and I made it for the buzz which was superior to my best commercial indica strain which had incredible terps and bag appeal but not the best buzz. The Firecracker was still very nice though. The f2's is where the gold is but there may be lame plant phenos too. But...if you got a real Firecracker pheno which is like Lemonheads candy....well, I wonder if that is even in there. So far of the two I did I dug the indoor one and the outdoor did not mold...and for an indica dominant plant in VA. that is good. I wasn't keen on the bracting of the outdoor plant but it was resinous and a hash plant. I overferted as well so it could have been much better. I did not see any signs that some plants might be like the pappy. But that's what I'd be looking for.

You can see the skunk phylotaxy clearly in their photos. The originals had a very pleasant buzz. The cross I made is more like the kush now. And earthier. No info on second cross.

The ancient Afghani/ Hindu Kush genetics seem to suck stuff in when you go to F2's and beyond.
I was cracking up on the Lost Skunk.

Ive wanted the Afghani #1 for a good while, and have heard no good results for the Sensi genetics.

Sk1???
Lucky 13 Seeds, in Canada, has a Worked Sk1, but wont be available again, until sometime, in I believe, early 2025. It sells out, as fast, as they can make it. This Sk1, from 85 Stock, has been tested at an Honest, 22% THC.

I know some one who has a Blue Magoo x Cheese and it is a stinker. Also saw Luna Whitcomb's Blue Krypto nite cheese.
I was mistaken. The Canuck Blueberry is a Blueberry S1 apparently. I'm wanting to hit it with the skunk.

That sounds good bud if I was after blue cheese over regular cheese I'd go for bluchi by London city genetics I quite like that one see the UK blues is different from blueberry it's a old skunk or skunk hybrid no blueberry in it tis a old clone like the cheese
 
For many years ago, at the end of 1990's (I think) when Arjan worked together with Shantibaba I really love Arjans and Shantis strains. But since the beginning of this century I only growing and flowering Shantis strains. Mostly Nevilles Haze, Super Silver Haze and Mango Haze. Three of my favorites. And belive it or not - I have still the same "mothers" as I had 2001.

For some Sensi/Nevils Genetics?? 80s-90s genetics???

Ask Dave-ie AKBeanBrains, for a complete Seed List. [email protected]

Dave has these as an example.
NL5 x Haze
Black Domina-2-4 different mixes. All 100% Black Domina.
NL1
Williams Wonder
Chocolate Thai
90s Kali Mist
89NL
NL5
G13 x Hashplant

Lucky 13 Seeds, in Canada, has original Super Skunk aka Y2K. Its all 2000- and pre 2000 SS genetics.

They are also going to release a Worked 1985 Skunk 1 IBL, thats tested at an hinest 22%, but wont be released until sometime next year. It sells out, as soon as its released.

NWSun, has Crickets and Cicada Pacific Northwest Hashplant x Puck BC1-F2.

Puck, is a Pheno found in a pack of Nevils Hashplant, which went on to Sensi, and they called it Hashplant/still do.

But Nevil used the Pacific Northwest Hashplant x NL1, got a male, and backcrossed it, to the PNWHP mother, and was called-Hashplant.

6 years ago, Bob Hemphill-Hannaboldt-Crickets and Cicada began a quest to revive Nevils Hashplant. He-Bob already had the Original PNWHP, which I believe has been around since around 1982, and he also had Original NL1 Seeds, he got from Nevil, in 1985, and lastly, he has a Cut, of the Original Puck. Also known as Skelly Hashplant. The PNWHP, and Skelly, are probably the 2 most sought after, of all of the Hashplant cuts.
But Bob, recreated the original Hashplant line, with the caveat, he concentrated the Puck a bit into the genes, though, they did come from the same genetics. PNWHP x NL1 x NL1/PNWHP
Bob also released a strain, that was called Puck BC1-BC2-BC3. It is for now, up to F3.

But NWSun, on Strainly, has the PNWHP x Puck BC1 F2 for $45 usd a pack. I bought 2 packs, and asked if he gave any free seeds, could they be the same seeds, and he sent me a full pack. $30 seeds for $100. Shipping included.
