A White Russian from a different glass

Okay, here's a highball question for you genetic scientists out there.

When you mix Ak-47 with White Widow, you get White Russian (Ak47xWW=WR)

But what about using Misty instead of White Widow? Misty's descripion is "A Sister of White Widow" - WTF that's suppose to mean, but ok. Being if it's a sister of White Widow, then it shares the same Mother and Father. It was never mentioned Misty was a half sister or cousin twice removed, just says "sister of."

So, White Widow is Brazilian x South Indian - thus by our information, so is Misty. As she's WW's sister and by that we're assuming they share the same parents (Brazilian X South Indian).

Of AK's secret formula, we know it's "Colombian x Mexican x Thai x Afghani." And if you mix some white widow with it, you get a strain known as White Russian (Brazilian x South Indian x Colombian x Mexican x Thai x Afghani). In all rationalization, wouldn't a mix of Misty x AK become a White Russian as well? As it would also be (Brazilian x South Indian x Colombian x Mexican x Thai x Afghani).

Or doesn't that make sense? What would it be, as the strain genetics say White Russian.

Wild guesses here: isn't quality breeding (such as the invention of AK47) as much about selecting great individuals (amongst how many.. dozens? hundred? thousands of plants?) as about selecting species?

because then, obtaining "White Russian" seems a years long task for anyone who hasn't the original parent plants, or at least a formidable and intimate knowledge of world's hemp drug cultivars, and even possibly the capacity to travel in remote regions of the world, or to know people, who do.

Analogy: knowing that a music tune contains A, C# and G doesn't do much to play it with the same talent as the original artist. And having a chef's recipe is no automatic recipe for success, especially for the best and most complex ones.

I coiuld be wrong on this but i would think a sister to the white widow would mean that she has 1 of the same parents. I could be TOTALLY wrong but there are lots of strains that are sisters and it wouldnt make since to make the same strain with 2 names unless a breeder was makeing a generic cross but then again who knows.

Isn't misty from nirvana a little skunk?
I've grown early misty and really liked it.
Misty is probrably white widow x skunk if from nirvana.
Take that with a pound of salt......LOL

Black widow according to Shantibaba is the original white widow that he bread while at green house seeds. So black widow is the same line as the original white widow. Shanti changed the name after leaving the greenhouse seed company.

You don't have to get misty from nirvana, home grown fantaseeds also sells it. I believe that they received their stock from positronics, or they bought them out.

I don't think the cross would even be close.Misty has a totally different taste than WW,I beleive the Misty'taste comes from the shiva line(?) which could be the "sister" connection(?) I don't know fersure though? I like Misty better than WW myself.The widow makes me irratable,edgey,short fused and isn't much in the flavor department.Misty on the other hand has a euphoric happy high with KILLER TASTE! Imho Misty would make a better cross. LOL The Misty is a whole lot less finicky when it comes to....everything lol Widow can be a bitch about enviroment,nutes,etc,if ya don't have a good hardy pheno.Misty is also a heavy yeilder and will take the heavy nutes.Sagarmatha has a version of misty called slidder,it started out the same,but these days it doesn't stand up to misty imo.Well,I hope some of my ramblings have helped.I think I have forgotten more than I remember these days.I used ta know all this stuff about linage...gettin old I reckon.Bottom line,I think it would be a great cross,good luck.Take care...BC Btw WR isn't all that and a bag a chips unless ya find the right pheno.I went through a pack and didn't find anything worth knockin out one of the mums I have already.

I came across this when looking at my seeds and wanting to do some experimental breeding - you know how it goes.

Anyways, doing my research I came across this genetic make-up with according to what writes we can find, is the same thing. But obviously not, there is no arguing that Misty is different from White Widow in many ways.

I know, regardless if the geno make up says: mixed with AK is theoretically White Russian, but is not. As was mentioned, to get a true White Russian (besides simply buying the White Russian seeds - where's the fun in that?) is to breed them with the specific genes that make it up.

I miss OG's strain bases and experiment breeds. All that data had nothing to do with whatever bust happened, OG's database is intellectual property of the World. Wonder if we can sue the Mounties into releasing it? (yeah, I know - dream on). We're getting ICMag's built up, but so much has been lost. All these questions were already answered, but the answers are in the Mountie's hands now. - - whoops, rambling...

Anyways, I plan to breed Misty and AK, just to see what I get. Misty is on it's self, stand alone and comparing the two (white widow), they don't seem THAT closely related. I'm just curious as to what I'll get, reason for doing it.
