Good to see them still going i remember when they were first posted and shared i was a bit surprised to not see people still grow them.
You guys even cross the MF to a nice local sativa.
Good work DB[/QUOTE
Yes but nothing to speak of on results. The best cross I did was to a Colombian /chem. I lost all the seeds during a 3 week power outage.
It was great. My son called it Shadow Frost Here is a pic from my alum.
Got some Swazi seeds from that era going now, originally from Kalapana side.
Show some pics when you can please.
my oldest learned to swim at Kalapana behind the church , and when it was rainy everywhere else we would go play volley ball in sunny Kalapana.
One day I'm going to do a recreation of some old 80's Puna strains. One is Swazi x Affie I got the Affie It came from 78 collection forget the province. I have some Swazi but never tried it yet. Might have the time now.lol Aloha DB

My fav phenos of the frost are the viney phenos and carry a heavy Thai influence
I made the mistake of not keeping that line when I bread them years ago, now I know that the pod monsters are great smoke Aloha DBI never knew they threw a vines phino interesting
years ago outdoors i grew a hawaiian strail that looked just like yours.
Are any of the Old Hawaiian Sativa lines like Blood or Maui still out there ?.
I remember watching this 60 minuets program in the late 70s early 80s of a Nam vert in Maui that was growing 6 plus meter Maui sativas.
I was lucky to find some Maui seed in some imported Maui in the early 80s that strain was amazing.
The Blood was meant to be one of the ancestors rumored to be a Thai x.
Mr.Greengenes Cherrybomb is a Maui from '78
A NYC dealer friend of mine found a few seeds in a LB of Maui Wowee about '78. He let me look through the rest of the LB and we found a total of 7. I forget the ratio, but in those days I was getting hip to my present methods, so I used all the boys and saved seeds from all the ladies. There was a bit of variation. My favorite plant was a high yielding, beautiful red stemmed, cherry lifesaver tasting plant I named Cherry Bomb.
I didn't backcross, but I did save the original CB plant for a few years to help in comparisons for future generations. I'm not certain, but I think CB is around F20 to F22 now. Inbred all the way, no outcrosses in 32 years. Because I included as many suitable plants as possible in each generation, I maintained enough variation to improve quite a few traits over time. CB is at least as high yielding now, probably more. It's more potent now, but the potency hides some of the nice fruity flavor. Bud structure is improved. CB was always a very tough, hardy, easy to grow strain. Sort of the ideal beginner strain. The 'last one standing' so to speak. I think it's even tougher now than it was, if that's possible.
You said in Haze thread that your Maui was a Hash plant.
