Any one listen to the 3 part interview on the breeders syndicate?

I started listening
I finished it and I was listening to him talking about how the China yunnan must be skunk or nl mixed in and my heart drops because Im at week 4 of open pollenation of a pack of China yunnan for seed increase and my landrace sativas for non skunk/nl hybrids to work with.
If only they would have released the whole interview at once I would have had a chance to stop it.

A friend in Rishikesh said the harvest came late this year. End of November.
Yea those ones he sent me a few Phyllis links to show skunk in it.so he means that China yunnan is not pure? ouch! i have seeds too. and so far they are only available at Ace seeds
I was hoping for a pure non Dutch indica.

I trust Angus to have a better understanding than I, but I would have assumed that the skunk in Phyllos could be from links to the skunk ancestors. Due to trade routes the Yunnan area cannabis could be expected to have centuries of genetic influence from India, Pakistan and Afganistan.
You should listen to the part 3 of the interview. We exchanged a few emails about it. But I’m hesitant to give angus problems posting things, he seems like a good guy and don’t want to give him problems.
Also you have to remember that seeds came from an immigrant in Australia too. I can see that that person may have mixed skunk in it and selected towards the China yunnan part multiple generations so it barley had any in it. Which I understand l, I was just wanting non Dutch anfghani/skunk genetics to have my own personal medicine for. Loved the orient express and thought I would see what this indica by itself was all about and to add density and resin to my sativas.

True, no one knows the full story of the winding path the strain took before it got to our hands. If you like it, that is all that matters.
I agree mostly. I might rephrase it. India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan could be expected to have centuries of genetic influence from China Yunnan.
I had people accuse my Vancouver Island Seed Company Burmese of being a hybrid. I believe it is related to Yunnan based on my experience with all too many hybrids. The VISC Burmese was way too consistent in subsequent generations. Also the high was nothing like the best Skunk #1 I ever grew. That Skunk plant was a hashy Colombian high. Very dreamy and floaty. It was excellent. The Burmese was more cerebral, trippy, and not narcotic. Neither were heavy in a muscle relaxation way. For my tastes, the Burmese was better.
One can only truely understand a strain by growing multiple generations of it. I wouldn't be afraid of getting to know that China Yunnan.
Hey guys, I'm getting this years seed samples from the Himalayas between 1500 and 2500 meters above sea level. 10 different sites. Farm charas are the best at the top. Was thinking of making a contest or something. Trip up the mountain seed package. 5 seeds each site so 50 total seeds per "trip" up the mountain. Can that work? Or is 10 seeds per site more practical for the connoisseur/.... how do you say that.... for the ones that want more than average. Had in mind more like sampling, dabbling, more so than breeders and farmers in mind.
this is some of them

Why do you think China Yunnan has Dutch genetics in it? I find that to be likely untrue.
Chinese hemp has some real ugly seeds. Big and misshaped with lumps and dents.
