I'm going to tread lightly here, because I have no earthly idea who you are, and you might actually know what you're talking about... on internet forums you never know. But surely to God you're not talking about Tim Scully, the primary and most important chemist of BOEL, who doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with cannabis. Because if you are, you're completely and entirely full of shit, because I'm in _direct_ communication with Tim, within the last week. Cannabis is not his thing, obviously. We are discussing preparative column chromatography for purifying two five and he's trying to remember where Owsley first got the idea to use it for purification purposes. He's curing my ignorance of the eluting solvent, granule size and pH of the alumina.Maui Wowie comes from BOEL Hawaiian.
Hawaiian was made in the 68/69 season.
Wowie several years later when outcrosses abd Bxed to Afghan.
NLGreg knows Hawaiian because he was close to Herbie who uses the Boel Hawaiian crossed to NL to make NL5.
The reason there's conflicting stories between him and Nevil are because:
1- Nevil backdoored Greg to get NL limes and got outcrosses that nDn labeled as pure
2- Nevil was a junkie who loved his xanax so really had no memory left by the time the forums started.
I also posted the year the Wowie project started, in the 70s, not 80s.
The story given to me by the chemist involved with making Hawaiian was also confirmed by another chemist who was around and now lives in Oregon. And then also confirmed by Greg. But seems like you feel you know something we dont.
Run that by your _chemists_, since I doubt you understand what that means. But hey, maybe somebody told you about it.
Btw, Owsley (since you _talked_ to so many people, you are probably on a first name basis and know him is "Bear" ) Melissa ( the _only_ one who had chemistry experience), Tim, Nick, et al... never, fucking _ever_ considered themselves _chemists_.
They considered themselves _cooks_, and unlike you, they actually knew the difference. If I thought it was worth the effort, which I don't, I would have linked you to the interview with Owsley that's on YouTube, where you can actually see the man, who actually did the _work_, say exactly what I'm telling you he said. You wouldn't have to believe me, you could hear it out of his own mouth.
Btw, I wouldn't expect you to believe me, _I'm_ just another poster on the Internet.
And if you're name dropping Herbie, of Herbie seeds, I could give a shit. I could care less about any commercially available, name brand, famous seeds from back in the day, when everything was cool, and everything was the best, blah blah blah, blah, fucking, blah. Bullshit marketing... For Boomers, By Boomers.
_Recreating_ NL#5? OMFG.
As someone who has reverse engineered Sensi's NL (which was created and refined by Nevil using #2 and whatever version of #5 he got his hands on, and then worked/standardized it so it was uniform, which then won all the awards and became the foundation of most modern cannabis) I don't find that insulting or confusing,
I find it absolutely fucking hilarious.
And in response to your part about the story of Northern Lights, I'll use this meme, just in case you're a Millennial:
I have forgotten more about Northern Lights than you've probably ever known. When that asshat Todd McCormick from Authentic Genetics started using NL Seattle Greg in bullshit marketing campaign, I thought it sucked but I'm used to it because of all the bullshit associated with Nevil. But when he brought up Steve Murphy, I was going to make it my purpose in life to skewer that blowhard fuck for bringing up a name who is no longer involved in the scene, who had his life _absolutely_ fucking wrecked by Operation Green Merchant. And that asshole was using him for fucking marketing a fucking cannabis seed. So I dug deep in my computer archives, restored old hard disk images, and compiled everything I'd ever saved that had been posted by Nevil and NL Seattle Greg.
I posted it in it's entirety on RIU, and not too long after that, I got shit canned. The admin, not Potroast, got wind I was going to take out OS Buds by name on the forum.
If you take the time to actually investigate that thread, since you obviously didn't check out the link of my first post here on IC Mag in my sig tag, you might discover I know a thing or two about Northern Lights. But I absolutely, positively do not go by hearsay, rumors, what my friends told me, what Nevil told me (I never communicated with the man), ad-fucking-nauseum
I'm out of this thread, it's shit like this that's going to get me kicked off here. And there are much more important threads here on ICMAG. And I don't give a shit about Maui Wowie, just about an _accurate_ history of how various types of cannabis were _actually_ developed, that gets posted on cannabis fora, by people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about, because they actually _did_ it.
I yield the thread to the expert.
