Another update...
aside from seeds being appropriated by customs. All the reeferman websites or resellers using the name have been bought, shut down or sent letters , or will be recieving them, by the company that owns the reeferman name(one of reefs ex partners who has all his stock)
I'm surprised these so called "charles best friends" haven't stepped In to send anyone any freebies. Isn't that what friends are for?
If anyone anywhere in the world wants some pink kush or tuna kush hybrids(sorry nothing pure). I have very limited number but a can spare some freebies for icmag members left out in the cold.
This is just all bad for canadian breeders in general.
Smash that dm if I can help

You're the best. Thanks, friend.
You BC growers have achieved cult status among those who smoke weed over here in Alberta.
My apologies for tagging you in a comment you made seven months later, but I have to ask. I'm in search of a strain of kush that was circulating in Alberta back in 2008 that (supposedly) came from BC. It was sold in dark green sealed bags and was only ever referred to as kush. Best weed I have ever smoked and I have yet to taste anything that comes anywhere even REMOTELY close to how good that weed was.
You wouldn't happen to be familiar with it would you?
And further, to address your comment about the black tuna strain.. Is it really not good? I was about to pull the trigger on buying seeds from a reputable source who has crossed many of their own strains with the tuna but I became alarmed when I saw the name 'Reefermans' in brackets next to the Tuna Kush F2 seeds that I originally intended to purchase.
And perhaps for good reason, as someone in this thread failed to procure healthy robust plants from their pure tuna seeds.
Again sorry to tag you so much later, I'm just tired of growing/smoking "kush" that smells like apples and tastes like ass and leaves me with a resounding hatred and distrust of those selling these things.

No worries, I don't mind the questions.
Let's wind the clock back to the early 2000's in the BC lowermainland.... might have been as early as 98/99 but for sure by 2000/2001 I started to see this stuff they called The Kush. I never saw anything called OG kush until I joined icmag in 2015 and started reading. So I was growing NL5, Hashplant, Blueberry, Shishkaberry as my cash crops during that time and up to 2005 when I had to shut down for 10 years. My crops were bought by guys who exported out of province but i did sell the odd bag to one of my friends that was a smaller quantity dealer to pay for his own smoke basically. So he would hit me up for NL5 and Shishka regularly until "the Kush" came along. I am pretty sure the dealer guy I was selling to had made either a biker connection in white rock bc , where he grew up.... or thru the race track crowd as he was related to some guys in the big time 1/4 mile circuit and I know they toked hard.
So there was The Kush.... and kevin the dealer guy never wanted to look at NL5 again though he always wanted shishkaberry. Everyone wanted the hashplant I was growing , even him, but I never sold it locally, I wasn't allowed to. It was above and beyond the kush and I still seek that plant...talked about in the post you quoted hehe. That Kush was the only kush I knew about until a few years later Bubba , Skywalker, Tuna , rockstar and hells og all started to come around in the packs the dealers were buying.
It's hard for me to speak about cannabis from a strain perspective for the years 2006 to the end of 2015.
In all the years I grew back then between 89 and 05, I was a recluse, keeping my circles tight. Most friends had no idea that I was growing all the weed I was smoking with them. Only the closest few. I didn't join the internet of weed until 2015 , I avoided it all and just bought good weed from a couple trusted friends all those years.
Black Tuna..... My experience is with what we call in BC , the Tilray cut. It is the commercial cut that has circulated thru the large black/grey market dispensaries before legalization and is said to be the house cut of the large LP , Tilray on Vancouver Island. I don't really know all the backstory other than what is already found on the internet. It is good smoke but it is a medicinal variety and for me it was good for that purpose but my friends that just wanted to get blazed while visitting LOL , found it a little lacking in flavor compared to other known elite commerical cuts like Pink or Bubba or even say OG Kush. All that said, I really enjoyed the Black Tuna, both growing it and smoking it. Was good at relaxing my body and bringing on munchies and the oil I made from it using everclear..... was really nice and if I grew it again it would be for that purpose. Yield was on the above average side as well. Not sure if my pics are still on the site but I did grow and show it here in icmag back in 2017 ? I'd have to go back and check. I have never grown it in seed form but I did make some crosses of my own with it because I liked the structure, vigor, yield, flower formation.... just needed a layer of flavor added in hehe

Do you remember what the Kush you got looked like or smelt/tasted like?
I know you didn't ask me but I'll kick in my experience from the lower Mainland between 2005-2010 or so.
Tonnes of great Kush going around during that era and almost all of it was renamed as just Kush, Purple Kush, Tuna Kush, etc by the time it got to the customer.
To me what I saw sold most as Tuna Kush was different then what I see the Black Tuna to be. After Purple Kush was saturated and people didn't want it (everyone stopped renaming their various Kushes to Purple Kush) people started renaming lots of it to Tuna Kush.
This is just before OG, Master, Bubba etc started to get popular on the commercial scene.
To me the best commercial Kush being grown back then was linked to either bikers or Vietnamese and a lot of it to me seemed like a Kush x Hashplant variety (pure speculation on my part). There was a commercial cut called BC OG that had a really hashy, creamy, vanilla, earthy Kush thing going on that tasted really great. Almost silver in appearance, not many hairs on it. Not much colour either.
Some of the best weed I've ever had was Budder King Tuna Kush. Apparently could be a renamed Watty Kush? Super light green, basically silver appearance, metallic, creamy, earthy Kush. Super super clean smoke. Apparently hydro grown in the Kootneys? According to some random video I found of the Budder King talking about it (since I've been trying to track this Tuna Kush down for years now along with other BC classics like the Lizard).
Basically all of this is to say it would be almost impossible to tell what Tuna Kush the breeder your are talking about is working with and also to note that the real classic Black Tuna Kush was basically the least of what I saw sold as Tuna Kush on the scene back then.
I made a thread in 2010 inquiring about BC OG Kush and there is some good discussion/lore from other Canadian members there:
BC OG Kush?
I live in BC, and for the past few years there has been lots of OG Kush around. Its usually really good and fairly consistant. Tight nugs w/ a smell thats kind of creamy sweet yet earthy and almost metallic. I got a bag several years ago before lots of OG was hitting the scene and it was...

I think you guys are talking about King, a suspected pakistani landrace indica held by the bikers on the west coast up until the early 2000's. The flavor is exactly as you described, though it has 2 main phenos in a pink haired one that was bred into Pink Kush, and a green pheno that ends more silvery once dried. They are exceptionally dense and short plans, with main colas exceeding 5g dried.

Definitely could be. Either King or Queen Hashplant could be parentage in any number of the Kush cuts that were grown in BC back in that timeline.
There was a lot of breeding going on back then! And lots of famous and "elite" clones that got grown commercially have either King or Queen somewhere in their lineage.
Either way, apparently the King cutting is still around!

It’s been a full year since the shitshow, and I’ve finally got around to that pack of Red Congolese I got. For anyone still keeping track…4 out of 5 seeds popped and they’re looking pretty good. They’re only a month old so we’ll see what happens later on.
All have been topped once.

Glad you had some luck after all this went down. I wonder if hes planning a future project. I don't think hes been banned yet. He might try another shakedown
Oh . . . and I keep forgetting about this grow . . . just coming up to 6 months of aging. Ice water hash 159u-45u. The smaller chunk is 1 minute first run. very spicy.
But . . . I still would not buy his seeds. Once bitten . . .

yes the King, Mother of Pink Kush is still around. I should have cuts in a couple months. Just waiting for a friend's mother plant to produce for us.
They did not germinate.
Keep us posted on the seeds if it's safe friend. I would love to see their flowers.
That must have cost you a fortune, silly prices tbh. Would be interesting to see how the king pans out
This might sound arrogant, but the kush back then was unlike anything I've had today. The taste and smell of it was OUTSTANDING, it hit smooth, it was delicious. Creamy, kind of?
I'm hesitant to try and put an exact descriptor on the taste, because I might throw someone off. All I know is that it didn't taste fruity, and it didn't taste anything like gas (the other piff I sometimes smoked was sour diesel, this was when my supplier ran out of kush). It had a very unique taste unlike anythhing I have smoked to date. The high was good, but I think the best thing about this weed was probably the taste.
It was premium, primo weed. I was able to sell grams for $15 and I had repeat customers because it was that good. That and the fact that other hustlers were selling .7's of garbage weed.
