The skunk traits come from the old NL#5.
The old crew informed me that Nevil chose this NL#5 outcrossing both Haze males bc of the low smell and amazing yields of this particular line.
His NL#2, related to #5 was very skunky smelling.
KarmaG brought the A5 back to the community but don’t forget the people behind the man who were crucial for keeping this cutting around over the years. Thanks to them, A5 and other precious old cuttings survived the Dutch poor legislation, not to mention pests and personal issues these people had to undergo over more then 3 decades.
I agree with you ther ojd....wat nevil was puting out was devastating...I seen many a heavy smoker get heart rushes an panic atacks from the stuff...wen nevil left holland all that suff disappeared
So the skunk aroma was breed out?. I've been searching for those terps for a few decades with no luck. When I crossed Karmas A5HBX1 with a diesel the resulting terps are very similar to what I remember. The skunk part is not as overwhelming as I remember but I was young, what I thought then could be very different then if I smelled it today. I def came to mind a haze out crossing could have been where it came from..
Agreed 100%. I felt Karma deserved a shout out for what hes doing. I'm super thankful I now have these genetics to work with. So do many others that's defiantly a good thing.
It did not disappear, it just didnt get to the dam and when it did and it was class AAA gear changes are high it came from the Southern connection.
I know the Southern crew held and flowered all hybrids including both C5 phenotypes as well as all other original Haze C hybrids such as CG13 (G13xHzC), HPHzC and Nevilles Haze. I was one of the cultivators.
As you mentioned most weed sold under the Haze handle in the dam were outcrosses of the old cuttings where C5 was considered to be the best overal hybrid to outcross and therefor strains like SSHz & JH, which Nevil confirmed shared similar chemotype but were different in phenotypical expression, were mostly available.
Untill present there is only 1 coffeeshop in the dam that offers authentic flowers from the old cuttings.
Over the ‘90’s almost none were available anywhere at the Dam and if it was it brought to the dam by people connected to the old crew.
Thing with the old hybrids was and still is almost no cultivator around the dam found a proper way to flower them to full potential. This and the longer flower time put most growers of and after giving them a go once or twice with no descent quality nor yield they stuck to what they were used to grow, more indica leaning -read reduced flower time and vigour- varieties such as SSH or JH.
Hello Sammy and everyone who welcomed me.
I met Nevil in 1984 by telephone after ordering and receiving a pack of Kashroc seeds.
He invited me to come visit him in Holland as he did with everyone. In the spring of 85 I made my first trip to the Netherlands. I spent a month smoking and talking and driving around looking for a place to get the Seed Bank going. We looked at many farms and properties. I returned to Holland in the fall of 85 and Nevil had found and bought the castle. I traveled back and forth for a few years and in 89 was offered a job by Nevil so I moved to the Netherlands. We have been in contact and good friends ever since then until his passing. May he RIP. I have grown all the plants en mass, and will post more replies etc as time goes on. Still trying to figure the whole forum out. Hempy has been asking me for a long while to come on and give a little insight into those days. I told Nevil I was going to do this and his exact words were "the trolls will eat you alive mate" . But if you can handle it, you have my blessing. Haha . So that explains my holding back for so long. Anyway I hope to be able to shed some light [without getting burnt] on some of these questions.
As for 1 answer. Yes Sammy I also believe Nevils batch off Haze seeds was something special, which is one reason no ones been able to match it .
Hey there...as far as I know the A is still alive.Welcome, dj9. I hope the trolls stay away. I have a couple questions for you.
1) When and how did the Haze A male die? Are there any pictures of it? I've only seen one pic of the Haze C male.
2) I understand Nevil would occasionally meet bulk seed buyers in person at the castle. Do you know if he sold many Haze A hybrid seeds to such buyers? Did you ever meet any of these guys and, if so, did you ever run across any Dominicans?
3). Did you observe efforts to geminate seeds from the batch that Nevil got from Sam? Can you verify if any of the batches were labeled 1969 as Nevil claimed? Any idea how many seeds he popped?
Greatly appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks.
Hi Herb...sorry I am answering in the wrong order but it will get better.Dj9
Welcome to the forums
I’m very curious what more light you can shed on Nevil working with Haze
Do you know if Nevil used any of the Haze clones Sams gave him for his breeding ?
Were any pure Haze seeds made using the HzA ?
Is there a Hashplant Haze A ?
Are any Haze A hybrids still alive aside from G13HzA and A5 ?
Are original Haze A hybrid seeds still held ?
Appreciate any insight you can shed
