When nevil told you that, it was probably the truth. The collaboration is that Mango 122 (5c122) was selected by the two of them, at the same time as SSH. At least that's how Shanti tells it.Like I said Nevil was the first to tell me Mango Haze used the SkHzA on the father's side, Nevil then went on to tell me that the Mango Haze was a joint work or if you like a "calibration" of Nevil and Shanti. Up until shantis finally posted clearly clarifying the Mango Haze used the SkHzA as the father no one had a clue and to be honest most still don't know.
I have grown both the SSH made by Nevil and the Mango Haze test seed, and I dumped the SSH and continue to grow the original Mango Haze that comes from the original test seed.

I went researched
No Nevil had selected both 5HzC-1 and 5HzC-122 but shanti liked 5HzC-122 because of the mango smell as it reminded him of the old mango heads we got here in the late 80s early 90s.When nevil told you that, it was probably the truth. The collaboration is that Mango 122 (5c122) was selected by the two of them, at the same time as SSH. At least that's how Shanti tells it.
Even you claim the MH line was reworked immediately after initial testing. Never seen anyone claim that nevil worked Mango haze at this point.... but the only thing that fits with all of the evidence is that this rework is when Skunk HazeA was introduced into it
Dont be a smart ass amoril I have grown the Mango haze for a very long time, I was there when Shanti first posted at CW that he was working on a new line called mango haze 25 years ago and I was also one of the testers.Man, I don't have the time, nor the crayons, to explain this again so that you understand it
Shanti said it originally was same father as SSH, which is SkC. Now it's SkA. That's a rework. That's THE rework
I have the IBL from Shanti. Its a mango haze f1 bred back to 5c122. He's the first to admit that it's an unfinished project and not a true ibl, that's why it's not on the menu. Have to reach out to him to get them, no idea if it's still available or notThe re work was inbreeding faster more manageable plants if you follow the post trails you will see it to that's why he called the released version inbred line.
I'm with you there, it was confusing back in the day. But its not now, gaps have been filled in.No, he always called the Mango Haze a parallel line to SSH, and that parts correct.
Both use 5HzC and both use SkHz what he was not clear on was the Hz part and how the SSH used SkHzC and the Mango Haze used the SkHzA.
That part did not come out until that post.

ALOTJesse knew as much as I did at the time, but once Nevil showed up a lot of things were cleared up.
Skunk tends to overpower and alter the subtle class of haze..or anything really.I'm with you there, it was confusing back in the day. But its not now, gaps have been filled in.
Initially he said it was the same dad as SSH. then around 2007 or 2008 he started telling people Mango currently had a SkA father.
We now know, indisputably, that ssh was/is c5 x SkC.
So either Shanti was lying initially, or that's the rework that everyone admits happened. Because we're told it's the same mom it always has been, so a rework HAS to mean it's a new dad, which would be a different dad than the SSH
I tend to believe that he wasn't lying, and that there is *now* a SkA father for Mango, but that it wasn't the original plan or what was offered to testers
