trying to identify it by appearance or how u remember the smell alone would be tough. youd be better off talking about where and when you got it. u said it was a bagseed? pinebud? idk what pinebud is

but sour, piney, kushy, golf ball round nugs with orange hairs. if this was a while back on the west coast chances are you found a good chemdawg/og kush pheno. lots of em out there. fits with everything you've said so far.

I wouldn't bother trying to identify it, I would try out the suggestions of everybody who has answered so far to see if what they've suggested is close enough to make you happy. Sounds like fun research to me.
Keep in mind that as you get older weed tastes different and affects you differently. Finding a new favourite is probably your best bet.
Either way good luck.

That is largely what I am trying to do. Im not really trying to find it because it was the most potent (it wasnt) or because I dont think theres other weeds just as good or better. I am mostly doing it as a passion project AND I will really blow my friends minds if I could break out a bud of it 15 years later! Its one of those stories everyone in our group tells from time to time... "Remember that weed we had years ago?"

WHAT MY THOUGHTS WERE ON WHAT IT WAS PRIOR TO POSTING THIS THREAD:

So over the last few years I have been trying some different strains to see if I could narrow down the search field. As I had no direct name or idea on what it was and had never grown or seen anything close to it (I may have smoked similar weed a few times over the year but it was never very similar and was always from an unknown bag) I pretty much just started reading threads and googling different strains when something sounded familiar.
What I eventually settled on was it was a Cheese or cheese derivative. I want to point out I had never knowingly smoked cheese nore seen it grow. But some pictures looked similar and people always described a unique smell. My second disclaimer is that I am not good with smells. Maybe its years of smoking or allergies but I am not very good at saying this smells like that. The smell descriptors in this post I used I got from my buddies - who were generally very good with smells and tastes of weeds. The cheese was heavy Indica (original being a skunk #1 pheno), often appeared to have orange hue and similar comments made by people growing it. After growing cheeses from pretty much every seed bank I have found many similarities but nothing that was close enough to think it was a match . I had for a few years thought maybe I need the right pheno or the right breeder. But just prior to this post I had come to conclusion that I still wasnt in the right strain . Feeling desperate and defeated - an a little lighter in the pocket from endless seed purchases - I posted this thread.

What has renewed my hope is the answers in this thread. The suggestions have been things like "Afghan x Skunk" and "Master Kush" .. Both these look like good options. What makes me even more hopeful is they have similar plants in some of their lineage to each other and to the cheese. This makes me think that at least I am in the right ballpark and may be able to narrow further if these dont turn out to be very similar. New genetics and new opportunities to chase the holy grail!!!

Im pumped.... though the seedbanks are going to take me for another stack this Christmas!

I'm really hoping you find the one you are after, I was leaning towards the afghan x skunk but either is a solid option I just don't know the hundreds of strains as well as others. I remember buds similar, we would get "good" outdoor with orange hairs etc around here.

I'm not saying everything out there is bad. But you have to admit that there has been an influx of pollen chuckers entering the seed business with crappy genetics trying to get rich. Same thing with all the "Magic" in a bottle nutrient companies selling watered down salts.

Me, I'm enjoying a bowl of 100% sativa called Oldtimers Haze from ACE seeds. Flowered for 20 weeks but well worth it. Just pollinated an OTH with some male F3 pollen from a line I'm working on called Durbistan. PCK + Durban. I'm going to call it Old Man Durbistan. :bigjoint:

I hear ya!

So I had a super strain of weed as a kid and have spent a lifetime trying to find out what it was to get it back. Can any of you guys help?
15+ years ago, as a young man, I pulled a bud of excellent weed out of a bag of shitty PineBud weed. Amazingly in that bud was a single seed. We planted it that year and low and behold it was a female plant. We budded out that female plant and to this day it was one of my favorite weeds. Me and a few buddies grew it a bunch more times and everytime it was outstanding. Eventually given our age, the time and our nomadic nature we eventually ran out of clones and mothers and that was the end. Since then we all grew up to become productive members of society and turn into old, responsible medical patients. My buddies and I still discuss this weed. How easy it grew, how utterly amazing it smelled and how nicely it cured.
We would often smoke in a backyard pool hall. We would play a game where we would start to break up a bud inconspicuously on the bar. Despite the place being full of weed and cigarette smoke we would notice within seconds heads starting to turn. People trying to see where this smell came from that just graced their nostrils.
I need that weed again!! Was it a rare pheno of a common weed? Was it a common type of weed that I just never saw before or since? Please PLEASE I need your help.
The weed had the following traits (that we can remember):
(i) Seemed to be largely indica
(ii) Grew fat fan leaves and the edges weren't sharp at the edge but rounded
(iii) Grew extremely easy
(iv) Almost had a reddish/orange appearance from the really orange hairs. This was important at the time. The whole bud almost had a hue of orange to it.
(v) The smell was immaculate. Extremely strong. In an effort to narrow it down I have since asked my buddies the best way to describe it. Their comments: " Smelled sour... but in a fantastic way" , "Sharp... distinctively sharp... wish I could smell it again", "Kushy... but before we knew what kush was"
(vi) The leaves when growing were big and crinkly.... we called them cabbage leaves

Thats about all I can remember. It also cloned super easy. We had less that ideal conditions for most of the grows and they were all deadly. Does this ring any bells? Any suggestions? I have some ideas what I think but I dont want to bias the answers. Please help me and my friends relive our child hoods one more time!
Maybe critical or big bud
