Hi all. Back in 94-96 in south florida, Boca Raton at the time there was weed floating around called crippie. It was $350 an ounce. The buds were all the same size, bright green and would stick to the bag. Near impossible to roll a joint even after cutting with scissors. It pisses me off that at age 15-17 I couldn't get anything but crippie weed or it was regs with seeds. I need to find the heritage of this plant strain and grow it, or possibly try to recreate it.

Here is the only info I can find. If it's even the same strain....

Tampa Crippie cut circa '93. Our most controversial variety, this was sourced by Cannabiscult666 in 2012 after living in Tampa from 1999 till 2008 and constantly recieving, and distributing this Florida staple, he found the holder of this piney, eucalyptus, menthol powerhouse online and after many conversations realized he had been one degree of separation to this gentleman while in florida the entire time he had his first love affair with the Crippie. Once this connection was acknowledged and verified the cut was procured via mail in 2013 and the preservation began. The origins of this cut are shrouded in lore and lies but the cut we procured was indeed the same cultivar Cannabiscult had the pleasure of enjoying as a youth. Appearing very much like an Og or Chemdog 91 hybrid we dont claim to know the lineage. What we do know is that it's an 8-9 week hybrid with the capacity for medium to heavy irrigation, and crippling potency. Broader leafed, it is best topped and scrogged to maximized yield. The potency tests results never fail to breach the 28%thc mark, and the flavor is unmistakable to those who remember it from the swamp in the mid 90s. Eucalyptus, menthol, pine like vicks vapor rub with subtle notes of isopropyl alcohol can be identified on the nose and taste. Stretching 2-3 times in flower with moderately long internodes she prefers topping to single meristem structure. This plant is the longest held variety in our stable and our personal favorite.

When I was a kid in Florida everyone just called nugz crippie, and mersh was called regs. Didn't know there was a genotype or phenotype named crippie. Sounds and looks delicious though. I'd love to smoke some and see if it brings me back to my late teens early 20s.

Description:
This is the one and only, Florida Crippie (Crippy) from Tampa. We let loose 24 cuts of this strain starting in 2012. The feedback we got back was phenomenal to say the least, and was pretty much expected. This is the Tampa Florida cut of the legendary Crippie (Crippy). This cut predates the Triangle Kush and predates the west coast OG's. The Adam Dunn show "History of OG Kush" in its early days of 2014 had a few callers who've smoked and grown the real Florida Crippie (Crippy) hailing about how our cuts are the real deal. Along with the very select few we passed our cut off to, we also passed our cut to a couple cup winners. From there those posed on their IG accounts that our cut is exactly what they remember from their trips to south Florida during the 90's. Although many were skeptical they all ended up posting that our cut was indeed exactly what they remember.

This strain not only performs much like Triangle Kush and hitting well over 30% in gardens that have never previously run her. In well dialed in gardens she was consistently hitting over 30%. This plant get her signature deep dark green and more times than not (every time) getting her signature navy blue hue. She reeks of a predominantly gasoline, jet fuel, pine and a very earthy almost organic soil tone to her. There is absolutely no lemon thai in the Florida "OG's", so there is no lemon present in the smell or flavor.

The buds are a thick, very dense, trichome laden flowers and turn that quintessential navy blue hue in flowering due to the Pakistani "blue" landrace on the male side. This plant will stretch significantly in flower so planning on a 2.5x's stretch in flower is a good rule of thumb. These resulting flowers have a very thick, sticky coating of resin glands. The buds will be small pine cone shaped to very large golf ball style flowers. She has flowers that seem to just drip in resin. She does very well if shes staked or SCROG'd, to help support the mass and density of the finished flowers.

This strain may very well be a legend, but she also performs on a level that very few "modern" strains can compete with. While shes an older clone only strain, she has a very good resistance to mold and mildew although checking to make sure theres no excess humidity towards the end of flowering is a good idea. She may take just slightly longer in veg than the modern strains but shes a powerhouse when it comes to flavor and raw potency. The sweet spot for harvest that we prefer is the 69 day mark.”

I suppose you can get a couple ppl and split the bill? You’ll potentially have it for life....I dunno.

link please. I just don't want to get ripped.
I wouldn't go through them, I had a bad experience with them. Sent me a different plant than I ordered and when I told them about it. They did not believe me and threatened to sue me for making false claims. Their customer service is a fat F. IDK if they have any legit plants. Maybe, but I didn't get one. Maybe someone else who ordered from them can chime in.
