Yeah, that wasn't a criticism of you, of course...
did’t take it that way at all my friend, I do agree with you to a degree of course so please note that my comments were in the happiest of spirits and with a smile

I don’t know about any of you but I learnt a whole lot from this book>>The book is good non the less... it’s not an imagination in someone’s mind in a memory or a picture un-sharable or un-verifiable it’s in print and it’s been for a long time. There’s a reference to it, and it’s also not that big of a picture, can one id plants from a close-up? I’d take something tangible instead of someones word or memory most times, do you have a better one? Maybe it’s wrong but RCC stood up to be counted, more than one can say about most haze experts… and no I am not having at you my friend, and I am not saying this is the ”id for haze” picture…

Hee heeI had that one too at one time, great book as RCC’s Marijuana Botany is too. the one I posted is more about history and less about practical growing and breeding…
Here’s a little known one but it’s actually better than the others (not from a technical standpoint ) but from an “actually growing weed” standpoint I don’t have it anymore because it got lifted a long time ago but it’s available on Amazon View attachment 18787709
I like it because the author is a man of my own heart …he’s surreptitious (I’m not anymore because I don’t need to be , but he taught me a lot when I needed it)cool, never saw that one before
That is the year Sensi took over the Seedbank.1991
Regarding Shanti's 5HzC122 ("mango"), he has posted openly that he selected a male "5HzC122" in 2001 from the same seedlot that produced the original female 5HzC122 (mother of mango haze) and the female 5HzC1 (mother of SSH.)
Shanti's "Shit" has been around for a long time. Just not by that name.
Here is what Shanti now call's "Shit" from the '86 catalog:

Of course, it is confusing as hell to use the same name for the male as they are not the same plants, regardless of how similar they may be. Confusing or misleading, each of us have our own opinion of that.
Many of the threads with better clarity on the issue by Shanti have been deleted over there, but THIS ONE has some good info and a post from Shanti that can be easily decoded.
true dat. i had Eds closet cultivator one, that got read, re read then read some more...ahajhaaa.I like it because the author is a man of my own heart …he’s surreptitious (I’m not anymore because I don’t need to be , but he taught me a lot when I needed it)
Gotcha.Raho the 5HzC- 122 was selected by Nevil as was the 5HzC-1 and both are female.
I dont remember any of you in the mr nice forum at Cannabis world were the test seed was posted about and were grow threads were posted of the test seed.
Nevil calibrated with Shanti on the Mango Haze and on a few other things.
Nevil told me the father of the Mango Haze test seed was the SkHzA he him self had made not shanti.
Non of you grew any of the test seed so i am un sure how its makes you an athority on these.
All i see is a post from 2012.Did I misread what he wrote in his post when he said "Mango haze has both a female and a male side . . . and both were selected by me in 2001
Nevil didn't know what Shanti used to make it because they didn't "calibrate" on shit.
Nev said things on the forum several times that made it sound that way out of kindness to Shanti and in gratitude for being allowed to come back and use/hang out on his forum.
