Is there anyone out there who can make educated speculations about Lemon Verde? There seems to be some information suggesting that it's similar or the same to Michoacan. RC reports that in the 70s Michoacan was crossed with Thai and became an airloom in the Michoacan region, which was later brought to the Santa Cruz area for continued selection. If This Thai was a Lemon Thai, then possibly Lemon Verde Colombian is = (Michoacan Landrace/Lemon Thai open pollinated and selected as a heirloom) and could have been exported from Mexico to Colombia. From my research there is a strain called Lemon Verde in Colombia i.e. Strain Hunters; El Gato refers to it. But other internet research refers to Lemon Verde as a strain from the Michoacan region. If anyone cares to come out of the wood work about these strains perhaps now is the time?check it out so this is the 2017 lynch database phylogeny. using genotype by sequence which places strains together according to shared ancestors. it puts them in order of most primal which allows us to see where divergence happens. the most diverse oldest strains occupy the basal posiition aka the bottom of chart.
the test found surprising results when it uncovered a highly divergent basal group of ancestors and their progeny. everyone of these cultivars (with exception of thai/laos landraces) are 69 haze progeny. here are the members of this se asian nld clade

to give you an idea of how long this chart is it contains over 400 lines. this example is just the bottom half

always a big fan of your passion for haze herb and ive found alot of data which supports the "4 phenotypes after backcross" article you wrote.
i prefer to find out as much as possible about the homelands of sativa llines because even after they move(south africa to colombia etc) the stamp from their original environment is retained.
colombian genetics are especially tricky becasue multiple generations of lines from all over se asia/india plus alot of mexican lines also built the colombians in some cases the line may have had 2 or 3 layovers on the trip from primal asia on to africa then south america etc
Postulation A:I thought this was interesting what is in bold and Sams experience with Thai/ Laos - (Quote Below )
The very first original Haze was a late 60's three way cross of Colombian Punto Rojo, a green one, and a light magenta one, all different, all from Columbia, several years later I gave Thai and S Indian seeds that were also crossed to Haze, I had seeds of all of them, Original Haze, and Original Haze X Thai from off the stick gold Thai about 76 in Santa Cruz , called Laos at the time.

It depends who you ask and you’ll get a few different answersHey guys I got a question it’s on my mind I’m too lazy to research the answer and I’m sure this has been asked many times but I’m curious ..what is the difference between the seeds of haze that Nevil purchased from Sam initially as opposed to the haze seeds that Sam later sold through Flying Dutchman?
What do you think?It depends who you ask and you’ll get a few different answers
Shanti , Nevil ,British hempire , Jesse , Hempy , Sams

I smoked and I’m very familiar with the Buddha Thai or the chocolate Thai which was extremely famous it was being imported to the East Coast 79 to 82 it was very different according to my memory it had a very strong high but it ended up narcoticI could get deep , go into All the burning Bush post . But I know you’re not into details like that . I think you’ll appreciate these two post from Sams below
Nevil did not have OHaze seeds from before the 70's 80"s as he got his OHaze from me and I only sold him seeds I had made, all 100% OHaze, but not from the 60's or early 70's as I did not start making OHaze seeds until the mid 70's and in large amounts in the 80's in Holland. I think I sold him seeds I made in Holland after 85'.

To be honest I do not know, except the only Original Haze seeds sold prior to the 80's were mine, That I made after 1976. One way or another something is not correct about the 1969 date, and that is what you are going on. As far as I know all Nevilles work with Haze was from Original Haze he got from me, that's what he told me anyway, back in the 80's.

2 Interesting Post from Nevil below
The subject of Haze keeps coming up.
I got mine from Sam the Skunkman in the 80's. I bought a couple of thousand of old stock late 60s/ 70. The first batch that I planted produced one plant, a female.
Well Bigherb, I wouldn't swear on a kilo of Haze Hash, that he told me that he grew them himself.
I seem to remember one batch had a number of years mixed together something like '66,'67,'68. A prominent ancestor was a thing called "Burning Bush". If Sam didn't grow burning bush then the person that did will be able to tell us more.
Everything useful was from before 1970. The one plant that came up from '70 batch, Omega, was at best 25% haze and didn't make the grade.
N.
Nevil answered many and most of my questions in open post . I have them all saved along with Sams post which he responds to Nevil . Sams has also shared some info in Pm
My 2 cents is
According to what the community has discussed for years . The Nevs Haze stock
Was highly possibly a Thai x Haze hybrid
Or
most (the very Few) members / Older folks who posted have never experienced a pure Thai / pure original Haze . Nor a late 60’s Colombian / late 60’s Thai
Remember Sams admits he didn’t smoke Haze until 71 and Tom Hill never smoked original Haze in the 70’s
But smoked Thai from the 80’s /82
You got my wheels spinning

Sams Quote belowI wonder where the Thai in Haze came from?
Thanks! ThanksSams Quote below
My post in parentheses
(The emphasis all these years folks have made on thai association to OHaze is funny ) I GAVE BOTH RL AND G THAI SEEDS I GOT FROM GOLDEN OFF THE STICK THAI THAT WAS FANTASTIC IN MAYBE 75 IN SC. THEY MADE A FEW HYBRIDS BUT G LIKE THE PURE OHAZE BETTER AND DID NOT USE THEM AGAIN, RL LIKED THEM BUT DID NOT KEEP CLONES SO THEY WERE GONE PRETTY QUICK, THE SAME WITH S INDIAN, KERALA. I MADE MORE HYBRIDS AS I FOUND THEM INTERESTING.
Another post from Sams below
I just read all the posts from my last post #1945 to #2376.The seeds I sold to Nevil were all made by me mostly from Holland work.
I never sold any I collected from Haze I obtained from the Haze Bros. I sold my work.
J & G are the same guy. Almost all my OHaze seeds were from him.
I never sold any OHaze X S Indian Kerala or Thai as OHaze, I always called them OHaze X whatever.
Burning Bush was 100% pure OHaze I grew it in Calif and named it, RCC also smoked it with me, and loved it. That and another OHaze I called Cream De La Cream and another I called Mr Greasy even though it was a girl, it had very very streched laddery buds that even when dry and placed in a zip bag greased up the bag unbelievably, it was also hard to roll and keep a joint lit.
Nevil did not have OHaze seeds from before the 70's 80"s as he got his OHaze from me and I only sold him seeds I had made, all 100% OHaze, but not from the 60's or early 70's as I did not start making OHaze seeds until the mid 70's and in large amounts in the 80's in Holland. I think I sold him seeds I made in Holland after 85'.
Like I said it gets deep

ThanksFunkyhorse put this up at the other place very good read on colombian cannabis particularly the timeline.
Earliest strains in santa marta derived from abandoned medical experiments in 1930s with germplasm originally coming from borneo and southeast asia.
30 years in colombia(at most) when haze was bred wouldn't be close to enough time to wipe away se Asian traits/ancestry.
Haze bred in late 60s with large colombian gold grows starting in 72.
@funkyhorse did a nice write up maybe he could go thru it if he sees this
And weed in SE Asia come from India so we all smoking Indicas...even Haze that way is Indica...Funkyhorse put this up at the other place very good read on colombian cannabis particularly the timeline.

Just did a big hot dab of Haze … it’s such a rush manAnd weed in SE Asia come from India so we all smoking Indicas...even Haze that way is Indica...
Thailand was US army safe place during the war in Vietnam...and they grow some pot for money. War needs money it is main food for it.
What is grown in thailand at that time nobody knows.
But im shure much more that weed grown down there was breed in US than it was thai landrace.
But its just my opinion.
