nl5 x haze ?
That's what I've heard, but I also heard a rumor it's a White Widow x Haze. Moby Dick is White Widow x Haze, and while the taste is very similar, as well as the high (similar but not it), the bud structure is completely different. Then again, Moby Dick is from Dinafem, so different parents could have been used to make Piff if it is indeed WW x Haze, which predates Dinafem's Moby Dick.
I haven't smoked NL5 x Haze, or grown it, but I'm very interested to see if it is more similar to what I know as Piff/Uptown Haze, which I'd ALWAYS make sure to get whenever I was in the area and it was available. I can still remember the smell, taste, and the beautiful high.
Well, now that I have reason to believe it's Blue Satellite, I stated I have no interest in buying or smoking it anymore, but today a friend gave me 4 grams as an early New Years gift because I don't drink. Not gonna turn down free weed, especially when we've established it's very potent, and tasty. I was able to take much better pictures this time as I'm finally getting the hang of my camera.
As you can see, while it's 4 grams, it looks to be about the size of a 1 or 2 gram bud due to the compression. Also take note of the shades of blue that I noticed as well, and the trichs.

Here is a picture of the above 4gs, broken apart. Each bud is hard as a rock. Very difficult to grind even with my metal grinder, but produces an insane amount of kief.
It seems to me that Crippy is like 'Beasters', the commercial Canadian stuff that was flowing over the border all through the '90s and '00s. It was never one specific strain, just whatever indoor cut the commercial guys got a hold of. With traits that were favorable to mass production, good yielding, easy to clone and grow, very dense, etc. It was sinsemilla so seeds were rare but on the occasion a seed was found, the quality was mixed. It could turn out to be excellent, or run of the mill type commercial Dutch. If I was you I'd look for good batches of it and try to find a few seeds. You could do a lot worse, if you're lucky you could find an exceptional indoor variety.
It's hard to say if the 'blue satellite' Red Ryder mentions is the 'Seeds of Life' strain DJ Short and Breeder Steve created. It could be, or it could be something else entirely, people come up with random names for stuff. I'd guess the Crippy you're getting in Chile is something different, your description doesn't sound like blueberry. Of course you could do worse growing one of DJ Short's strains, though his current stuff is probably quite different then the Sweet Tooth hybrids he was breeding with Steve. Your descriptions don't sound anything like Blueberry, I'm guessing it's a newer Diesel/OG/Chemdog based indoor strain. The stuff in your pictures actually looks decent. It's smushed and stepped on but it's got decent resin and might have some good flavor. If you found seeds in it I'd think you could grow some nice stuff.
Crippy isn't going to be loved by many people around here, since it replaced the old long season outdoor strains they grew up smoking in the 70s and 80s. And commercial stuff is always boring and unremarkable compared to home-stone. But I'd wager it's much much better then 95% of the stuff that it replaced, low low quality seedy compressed brown bud. In my part of the world Columbian had a bad reputation, the worst of the import stuff. Looked, smelled, and tasted like dried out cow pies. Thai was on top, then Mexican, Columbian was always cheaper, seedier, and gnarlier. Compared to that commercial seedless indoor green bud is a gift from God. Hopefully you'll find what you're looking for, keep us posted I'd love to see what crippy looks like grown properly I'm guessing it could be very nice stuff.

Not sure if you've read the entire thread, and I can't fault you if you haven't, as it's pretty long, but as I've stated, as soon as Red Rider suggested Blue Satellite as the main strain being exported, it makes perfect sense. I kept saying the taste was sweet and was trying to describe it in so many words, but failed, until he mentioned Blue Satellite. It tastes almost exactly like Flo (one of DJ Short's strains), has shades of silver/blue, and at times has purple stems, but stems are very rare. They properly trim this stuff and surprisingly don't ship it with huge colas and large stems.
As far as my reason to believe it is indeed Blue Satellite, is because of the research I've done on the strain. It is known to have an astringent lemon chem smell, and taste like blueberry. I can definitely detect the blueberry taste in there, but to me it's more like Flo.
You are correct in that Krippy is now a term just like Beasters was, for exported sinsemilla from Colombia, but just as with beasters back in the day, there was the M-39 that was EVERYWHERE and super consistant and shitty (in potency, and lack of taste, and hay smell), where as this specific Krippy that I'm referring to which has been EVERYWHERE, is always consistant in smell, taste, potency, and high.
Like I said, I'm no longer curious as to what strain this particular Krippy is, as I believe it to be Blue Satellite, and even if it's not, there are many other strains that I prefer over it. Green Poison from Sweet Seeds is one of my all time favorite strains. Super potent, super producer, and tastes incredible. VERY pungent when flowering though.
If I do find a seed (which I doubt will ever happen), I will have to either do it indoors, or wait until next September, because if I were to plant it outdoors now, it would only have about a month and a half of veg time before flowering begins in mid february, and harvest season here is in April.
I'm content knowing that I could probably create something better using DJ Short's genetics and crossing it with something else of my liking. It's the flavor that really stands out to me, which like I said, when Red Rider provided us with the information about it being Blue Satellite, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head and everything made sense and clicked. Also the smoke reports for Blue Satellite and strain description seem to match perfectly.
This description from Wikileaf matches the Krippy I believe to be Blue Satellite to a T. Pongster, do you agree?:
"Blue Satellite -- not to be confused with related strain Blue Satellite #2 -- is a high-flying sativa with long-lasting effects. This strain is derived from a sativa phenotype of perennial favorite Blueberry and from flavorful Shiskaberry. The result is a bud with predominantly cerebral effects and a distinctive, complex flavor that may be an acquired taste for some. An excellent daytime strain, Blue Satellite’s THC content has been measured at between 15% and 22%.
Blue Satellite’s impressive flowers are distinguished by their shape and size. Ranging from medium to large, these buds cling together in distinct spade-like shapes, tapering down from a broad base into a pointed tip. Despite the strain’s sativa leanings, its flowers have an indica-type bud structure, densely-packed, with their leaves curling tightly inward toward their central stems. Finally, translucent white trichomes dot the inner and outer nooks and crannies of these solid nuggets, accounting for their high psychoactivity.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Blue Satellite draws from the genetics of parent strain Blueberry to offer the strong, unmistakable odor of blueberries. Unlike DJ Short’s more common cut of Blueberry, though, Blue Satellite also has a strong chemical scent lurking underneath, with notes of ammonia and pencil shavings. Meanwhile, grinding up these dense buds releases some hints of pepper and spice. When combusted in a pipe or a joint, Blue Satellite burns with a smooth and easily palatable smoke. This smoke tastes like blueberries and citrus with a lingering chemical aftertaste.
Blue Satellite wastes no time, striking the user right away with its sativa force. At first, consumers feel a pressure around the eyes and temples, as well as some flushing in the cheeks. Smokers are typically quickly enveloped in a newfound cerebral energy, with their minds fixated on certain ideas or concepts that may not otherwise seem interesting. Many users may also have a freely-flowing internal monologue the jumps from one topic to the next. Although this kind of hyperactive thinking may be anxiety-inducing under the wrong circumstances, it can prove very useful for powering through a long to-do list. Blue Satellite’s focus can easily apply itself to complex work-related tasks; alternatively, it can add some background energy to mundane jobs like cleaning or running errands. This strain is also said to have a freewheeling euphoric energy that can illuminate social situations, sparking easy conversation and camaraderie. As the high wears on, a subtle body stone creeps in, providing slight relief for any tense or sore muscles. Blue Satellite is unlikely to induce couchlock, though -- in fact, the strain’s physical and mental effects combine to produce a holistic, therapeutic vibe. If users are so inclined, they can harness this energy to engage in activities that involve both body and mind, like exercise, dancing, and sex. Because it is more energetic than sedative, Blue Satellite is best consumed during the day; it’s also very enjoyable as a wake-and-bake treat.
Blue Satellite may also have several benefits for medical cannabis patients. Its focus can aid concentration for those with attention deficit disorders. It may also provide temporary improvement in some symptoms of mild to moderate depression. Physiologically, Blue Satellite soothes aches and pains, whether they’re temporary, as due to injury, or chronic, as due to disorders like lupus and arthritis. As noted, the onset of this high’s cerebral effects can be overwhelming; Blue Satellite is not recommended for patients who are prone to panic or who have a low tolerance for THC.
Seeds of Blue Satellite do not appear to be available for sale online. Instead, prospective growers should obtain clippigns of mature plants from a trusted source in order to foster “clones.” The plants can be grown indoors or out, although successful outdoor cultivation calls for a semi-humid climate with daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Blue Satellite’s sativa influence suggest that its plants grow particularly tall and may require pruning. These sativa roots also suggest a longer flowering time of 9 weeks or longer.
Better for active pursuits than for kicking back at home, Blue Satellite is certain to launch its consumers into new orbits of cerebral energy."
Peace and love.

Very good recent article about the new Krippy, confirming what RR has heard from his friend regarding the use of supplemental lighting.

For those who don't want to click a link, here is the text:
While Colombia is known for its vast coca fields, the hillsides of its Cauca region are covered in another illicit crop: highly potent marijuana.
These lucrative strains of cannabis — known collectively as “cripa,” “cripy,” or “creepy” — are being grown in vast quantities by farmers, sold by local gangs, and trafficked by powerful criminal groups that have come to control its cultivation and transport to neighboring countries.
What distinguishes creepy marijuana is its high levels of the psychoactive drug THC. Whereas normal marijuana’s THC concentrations hover in the single digits, creepy contains between 15 and 25 percent, said Juan Daniel Gómez, a professor of neuroscience at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá. And it produces a different effect: “The high is much higher but also shorter,” Gómez said.
While it’s still unclear whether such powerful strains of marijuana are harmful, it is well known that THC has the potential to aggravate psychiatric conditions. Gómez said that use of creepy has skyrocketed locally, with addiction clinics in Colombia seeing more patients abusing the drug.
“What surprises me is that you practically can’t get regular marijuana now,” Gómez said.Colombia’s marijuana boom is largely centered in Cauca, a department that touches the Pacific Ocean and contains the colonial city of Popayán.
Desolate mountain towns in its northern reaches provide fertile ground for the crop. Cauca accounted for 233 hectares of marijuana in 2016, according to the Colombian Drug Observatory(Observatorio de Drogas de Colombia – ODC).
The number, however, is likely higher, given that no survey method has been developed in Colombia for marijuana crops, the United Nation’s Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)’s Illicit Cultivations Monitoring System (Sistema Integrado de Monitoreo de Cultivos Ilícitos – SIMCI) said in its 2016 report.
More than 6,000 farmers grow marijuana in northern Cauca. These farms can range from family-tended plots of a few hundred plants to four or five hectares controlled by drug trafficking groups, an agricultural engineer who works in marijuana cultivation told InSight Crime.
The average plot has about 2,000 plants, and a pound of marijuana costs anywhere between 30,000 and 100,000 Colombian pesos ($9 to $45), depending on crop yields, he said.
Local indigenous groups were the first to cultivate cannabis in the region, and are permitted to do so under tribal law. The potent strains of what became known as creepy began arriving in the early 1980s from Europe, but it wasn’t until the 2000s that their cultivation really took off, thanks to investment from trafficking groups. “It got out of hand,” the agricultural engineer said.
The criminal groups have also brought with them renewed violence to the region as they battle it out for control of illicit crops, which also include coca and poppy.
The creepy bonanza has drawn criminal acts of all stripes. Small local gangs traffic marijuana to Colombian cities, while illegal armed groups such as the National Liberation Army (Ejército de Liberación Nacional – ELN), and dissidents from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – FARC) demand “vacunas,” or taxes, on the transport, sale and movement of the drug. According to Semana Rural, one ex-FARC mafia cell in northern Cauca counts some 200 men.
Large-scale traffickers fill trucks with up to 3,000 pounds of marijuana, the source said. “The narcotraffickers have almost everything bought up.”
The criminal groups have also brought with them renewed violence to the region as they battle it out for control of illicit crops, which also include coca and poppy. In 2019, more than 30 indigenous leaders have been gunned down in northern Cauca, and pamphlets — under various names — have disseminated threats against them.
“All of this robbed us of our peace,” an indigenous leader told Semana. “Crime, robbery, killings all shot up.”
Marijuana Movement
In June, authorities in Colombia seized more than 500 kilograms of creepy marijuana, with several seizures occurring in the Caribbean city of Barranquilla. Shipped by courier, the drug was hidden in cargo consisting of shoes, clothes, and produce. Smugglers also concealed 75 kilograms of the drug within metal doorframes. The frames were stuffed with mayonnaise, ketchup and coffee to mask the marijuana’s odor, though a drug dog sniffed out the ruse.
The marijuana was largely destined for a gang known as “Los Costeños” that runs drug trafficking points in and around the city, El Heraldo reported. Similarly, in Medellín, local mafias under the criminal federation known as the Oficina de Envigado are behind the sale and distribution of creepy marijuana, according to El Colombiano.
Massive quantities of the drug have also begun to be smuggled. In April of 2018, more than 3,500 kilograms were discovered in a tanker truck at a checkpoint just north of Cauca. The department recently saw a seizure of about 1.5 tons of the marijuana, wrapped in brown tape and stamped with the faces of Osama Bin Laden and Pablo Escobar.
The large shipments travel along established cocaine routes to other countries, including those dominated by drug trafficking groups in the Santa Marta region, on the Caribbean Coast. From there the marijuana is sent by boat to Trinidad and Tobago and Central America, where it sells for up to $4,000 a kilogram.
Traffickers have even smuggled the drug with cocaine. In Bolivia, authorities discovered nearly 200 kilograms of creepy marijuana alongside some 120 kilograms of cocaine paste after tracking a helicopter to a hidden airstrip.
Up to a ton of Colombian creepy marijuana crosses into Venezuela each month, according to authorities. Often concealed in sacks of sugar or within machinery, it is smuggled aboard cargo trucks that reach Venezuela’s northern coastline, where it is loaded onto small boats heading to other points in the Caribbean.
Marijuana destined for Brazil from Cauca moves east through the Amazon region. In July, authorities dismantled a criminal group, Los Puntilleros, that smuggled three tons of the drug each month by truck along this route, ultimately passing it along to the powerful Brazilian gang, Family of the North (Familia do Norte – FDN).
And creepy marijuana from Colombia has made it as far south as Chile, passing through both Ecuador and Peru, according to the State Department’s 2019 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report. There it sells for as much as $5,000 per kilogram.
Farming Towns
In northern Cauca, a line of four towns, about 80 kilometers apart, run along the hillsides of marijuana plantations. Together, Miranda, Corinto, Toribío and Jambaló have a population of about 100,000 people, with nearly half living in rural parts.The agricultural engineer who spoke to InSight Crime said that in these villages, up to 70 percent of rural and indigenous families are living off marijuana cultivation.
Growing this highly potent cannabis is not simple — but over time the Cauca farmers have become “specialists in its cultivation,” the engineer said. The rigging of night time grow lights, which increase crop yield, is now so common that when it gets dark, the hills appear to be dotted with “Christmas créches,” he said.
To stop the growth in illegal cannabis, Colombia officials have ordered the region’s electricity to be cut off at night. Late last month, however, angry residents in Corinto and Miranda protested the blackouts, blocking roads and service workers from reaching energy substations. They even confronted local police.
The engineer said he would prefer the government find a way to work with the farmers, either through the growing of marijuana for legal uses or through crop substitution programs.
Turning off the lights will do little, he said.
“The marijuana,” he said, “is everywhere.”

Dreams come true. This almost got ground and destroyed as well. By miracle, it got stuck in one of the holes of my grinder, and didn't even notice until now, when I went to grind up more and is in perfect condition. Doesn't break when squeezed, fully mature. Not sure what to do with this yet. This is a miracle. First picture is of the single seed I found in the second picture which is the 4g's gifted to me of the Krippy I made this thread about, what I believe to be Blue Satellite.
EDIT: Even if this is NOT Blue Satellite, this is THE Krippy that has been consistant in potency, high, smell, and incredible taste for the past few years. This is THE SEED I thought would be impossible to find. Mission Accomplished, for now...

With all due respect, I somewhat disagree. You have to realize that in the 70's and 80's, at least in the United States of America, where most of the original breeding and hybrids were created, Colombian was viewed as one of the best. The original haze was a hybrid of three Colombian strains. Thai genetics were later added, but the original haze was a cross of 3 colombian strains, that while landrace and long flowering, were still hybridized and combined to make the Original Haze. That was commercial weed, hence the seeds, lack of manicure, and poor drying and curing techniques.
As far as people not being interested in Crippy, that might change. I stayed up all last night doing all of the research I can, especially in non-cannabis related sites, such as news reports from Colombia. (While English is my native language, spanish is my second), and was able to get to the bottom of the start of Crippy. I found out that in the late 80's, the Colombians started growing Dutch hybirds, If you look at catalogs from what was around back then, it wasn't much, and apart from Haze and Skunk 1, Northern Lights, Afgan Kush, etc... there weren't very many hybrids.
I also found out that the "boom" of Crippy in the past few years is indeed due to the internet, and access to not just dutch genetics, but spanish and US genetics as well, which have all improved since the 80's, in THC% and variety.
If you recall, or are unaware of the fact, OG Kush has it's origins in a seed found in Krippy that was then cloned, kept around, and grown in Gainsville Florida, which they called "The Kush". It wasn't until it was brought to the west-coast when it exploaded and gained it's international status as one of the best. And what was behind it? A seed found in brick weed of Colombian Crippy which was just commerical dutch genetics, simply grown by people who knew what were they were doing.
With that said, even if this is not Blue Satellite, this is THE krippy I've hoped for years to find a seed. And when grown properly, I look forward to seeing how it is. To me, it's clearly a modern hybrid of some sort, so I doubt it will be anything game changing, but I'm confident it will stand up to the best of the best hybrids available today.
P.S. Thanks to Ace, landrace genetics are still available, and RR is still growing proper Colombian strains. I grew a Colombian Gold x Malawi Gold from British Hempire, and it was an incredible sativa grown properly with AMAZING terps, and a high like no other, but to be honest, I prefer high THC% and hybrids for my recreational and medicinal use.
And let's not forget that everything we've smoked back then, even the modern hybrids of today, have been the result of work that we as the cannabis community in the U.S.A. and later brought to the dutch scene have their roots in Colombian and Mexican cartel "narcoweed". At least from the Latin American side. I'm pretty sure the Afghan genetics (seeds) were simply collected by the hippies, botanists, and breeders, as Afghanistan, etc... wasn't exporting flower, as they don't smoke flower. They make and export hash.
Additionally, I read a recent article from a Colombian report in spanish last night, from a couple months ago, that claims there are 8 current varieties known as Crippy as of recently. They were mosty spanish names. One that stood out and surprised me was Punto Rojo, the other two that I remember are Mango Biché, and Flor. While it's possible that they simply re-named their strains, based on name alone, if the Krippy I know to be "THE ONE" isn't Blue Satellite or IS, I believe to be what they call "Flor".
Either way, when I figure out when and where (indoors or out) I'll germinate my Krippy Seed, I'll be able to provide a much better description. I'm hoping it's an S1. Finding it last night was like a late Christmas miracle.
Peace and Love,
Tetra
The florida crippy is not the same as the columbian krippy, on top of that we stopped getting imports from Columbia and instead got the jamaican and mexican brick weed, that and our indoor grows became more commercialized.
Red Fuji, who is the one from Florida who got the cutting to the west coast has verified that it was a seed from Colombian krippy. This is back in the early 90's. As stated, the Colombians started growing Dutch genetics in the 80's. From then on, yes Krippy/Crippy/Creepy, etc... took on a name of it's own, especially in Florida, where it was simply a name for high end bud grown in the US bud, similar to how terms such as "chronic", "loud", "dank", "dro", and "kush" have been used to describe potent marijuana.
Well, as I had previously stated, prior to being gifted 4gs of THE Krippy I know and love, I had no intention of buying anymore, due to the fact I was lead to believe it's Blue Satellite as the description matches it to a T, but I guess it was the universe's plan for someone to gift me 4gs that happened to have one perfect seed?
Luckily soon I won't need to purchase any weed anymore, and when/if I do, I usually go for indoor strains, or outdoor modern strains grown in a northern coastal town that is basically a hippie commune. I have a Diesel growing at the moment from a single seed found in that.
With that said, if someone gives me Krippy again, or I trade some of my bud for some Krippy, I'd love to have more than just one seed to work with, but finding this one seed blew my mind, as I was at the point of defeat thinking I'd never find a seed, and that I'd have to grow out some DJ Short genetics in order to find that terp and cannabinoid profile.
double post.
What's the taste and smell of the original(?) columbian krippy?
