This conversation is very important. I think I can contribute by showing an image of the TOP 40 of 1977.

What's worse is the reaction of young folk today who look at those strains and make comments like "what garbage". If it isn't full of visible trichomes and Indica solid people aren't interested.Not 1 of the top 40 listed in 1977 is available commercially by any seed retailer today.

No wonder there is an extinction crisis.

Some are still available in the underground like Santa Marta Colombian Gold, Maui (Cherrybomb), Oaxacan Gold etc.
Acapulco Gold from Barney's seems to be Apple Pie (Acapulco Gold x Nepalese)
Yes my first thought was great I can grow some Thai stick now.When i first logged onto the boards 2 decades ago the first thing to shock me was the zero availability of the old school lines.
The next thing was seeing people claiming to have say Pan Red or chock Thai or other lines we grew or was still growing that looked nothing like the real strains.
I know that many of the old lines are still being grown but you wont find them on line.They are being grown by mostly people that are not interested in on line forums.
Law reform and a legal environment will see a lot re surface not all.

The one you are referring to offered through ACE is an F1 hybrid. Big Sur Holy Weed x Oaxacan Gold.Its hot nowadays to have old lines in your seed stock as company, but the bigger companies are in autoflower strains nowadays.
You can find rare varieties like Zacatecas purple or Big Sur Holy from the same grower, who offers them online or via Ace.
this is discussed in the studies linked to throughout this thread
they're where the authoritative info is - not podcasts with gobshites - so if you want the answers, I recommend checking them out
almost all Cannabis domesticates are hybrids between biotypes
that includes landraces
Thai and Lao farmers refer to their landraces as hybrids "gok pasom pan"
also, many landraces in regions such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East are hybrids between formal taxa
I am creating some seeds from Paraguay, all of bricks that are sold here in my country. Follow the link: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=344521&page=4
let's see what has to wait for me. a few years ago when I created these seeds they were very sativa plants, these I can already see what you are talking about, some fat leaves there on the girls ...
Here in Brazil there is Colombia Gold being sold in vacuum bags, it really is the BEST herb that rolls around here ... I mean by the characteristic, it keeps the same smell as when I was 14 years old and I saw a colony for the first time gold, very powerful, the chest burns if it gets stuck in smoke, a very thick white smoke and sure that the wave will be good! nowadays I had an opportunity to catch a Colombian gold vacuum, the smell is unrecognizable! I don't know the method that they cure this herb, but it is very good! I noticed that it has a more dense flower buds today than it was a few years ago, but as I said the smell is the same! there are a lot of good growers here, but due to the law we don’t have many events to unite and debate important things like the extinction of species, but it is changing little by little, and there is already a space in the great media helping the laws to change!
go on Instagram now and even Mel Frank is sharing photos of obviously hyridized plants, apparently as if they were landraces
"Purple Cambodian"
https://www.instagram.com/p/CHEfzPCnZe0/
I quizzed him about the name in the summer when he shared a photo of the plants, as the name he was using (Hao Bac or something) is the name that was used for one of those hybridized Southeast Asian landraces from Reeferman, for a plant that was ostensibly Vietnamese
otherwise decent people trust untrustworthy people, and the bullshit perpetuates itself till almost nobody has a clue
I totally agree with you ngakpa.
Today there's so much misinformation
everything from Indian Landrace Exchange that I've read has been utter drivel so far as the botany goes
they've collected some very significant material
but they've not apparently grasped the basic distinctions between a landrace and a wild-type plant
landraces are domesticates, for example
it would be good to at least have the humility to learn some of the basic science
Very nice lookingView Image
