Alright all it's 1:11am where I'm at, EST. I want to see how long this thread takes
. Just hit a couple bowls so I'm good to go. All right I have not grown these White Strain yet, but have learnt the history. I would like to share it with everybody so maybe you wont have to go through the hours and hours of reading I have went through.
1st The White strains I'm referring too as most know as; White Widow, White Rhino, El Nino, Great White Shark.
Now all these seeds are offered by Greenhouse Seeds. Much controversy goes on with this site. But as far as White Strains go Anjan (Current GHS Owner) does not have the original parents of these beautiful plants. In fact any breeder which offers the seeds under those names do not have the orignal parents.
Now all these White Strains are crosses of the White Widow, which is a Brazilian sativa x South Indian Indica. So we will start with the history behind the White Widow.
It all starts with Shantibaba, Neville Schoenmaker and Arjan GHS current Owner/Founder. While Shantibaba was working at Greenhouse Seeds he came up with the amazing White Widow, Ultimately becoming the owner of its Mother and Father. Continuning to work along side with Arjan winning multiple awards, Neville and Shantibaba developed a keen relationship working side by side on many different strains. During the 90's Shantibaba had also met Howard Marks (Mr.Nice) becoming very good friends with him. Now after the 1998 HTCC Awards, Shantibaba's relationship became to detiorate with his dutch partner (Arjan), Eventually causing Shantibaba to sell his share of Greenhouse Seeds Co. This becoming the introduction of Mr Nice Seeds. Shatibaba,Howard Marks, and Neville Schoenmaker along with White Widow's Orignal parents and the other White Strains Parents went off to do what they did best. Shantibaba relizing his strains I guess you can call being copyrighted, decide to change all their names. The Orignal plants have been changed to these names.
White Widow-Black Widow
White Rhino-Medican Man
Great White Shark-Shark Shock
El Nino-La Nina
I hope everybody enjoyed my post, I did not want to do too much in detail as I'm sure I would be here for much longer
It is now 1:50AM, 40 Minutes not too bad.
For those who already knew this, feel free to add to anything I missed. For those who did not know, Now ya know![Stick Out Tongue :P :P](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
P.S I have also heard of two other breeders claiming to have the orignal parents of White Widow, but in the end it's BS, IMHO.
