Lets look at Vics Killer Queen, if you dont know there was more than 1 pheno back then in my garden. I started 15 seeds and worked down to the best 3 females. Back then males didnt mean anything DOH!!! So The one we know now as KQ or Mango was actually KQ#3. KQ#2 was the g-13 dominant and KQ#3 just was good. These are pictures of her over that time period. This one was passed on back then to good friends and was not lost and is the one smoked all over north America today still.
My friend that saved mango was blown away by the G-13 Dominant pheno but he agreed the Mango was so close in potency and 10X the taste. The first time I dried some out and smoked it I literally got a mild trip and sat in my back yard in the sun like some sun worshiping hippie. Oh yeah I am We used this mom to make Danny Boy and the new Queen Annes Revenge.
God yes Bubbatail when my friend sent this zip file I sat and looked at each pic many times. It brought back many memories good and bad. These were the days of sleeping lightly and trusting no one*(I didnt follow this rule well enough)* but also great friend good times and discovering amazing genetics each one better than the last.
This is the famed Genius it is very similar to the Apollo-13 which makes since being a parent along with P-75. Genius had less fruit taste and more of a sour funk almost rotten or fermenting fruit. The main reason this strain did not get passed along is again I didnt know what I had for one thing, no one did. You could talk to Soul, Vic, or Sly anytime until Trolls ran them underground or off. So we just knew the A-13 yielded more and was a bit easier to grow so I never gave a cut to anyone before the door crashed in.
This was extremly good cannabis and very few people ever got to smoke any
