What you saying by taking someone else's work is what sam and tom and every seedmaker out there has done.
Sam takes O Haze seeds from G and makes O Haze seeds and people seem to forget sam didnt make Haze either
or tom hill if i not mistaken takes wernards Haze and does same thing
tod
etc
etc
You show me where someone made it for full scratch ?
even the orginators are questionable as you can find that someone else made claim to some of the first ever strains.
What about you with your C5 mango X's , basicly using all of Neville's work and then dissing him constantly ? , is it just me or is it crazy some of these guys who dis Neville constantly but use his work on a regular.
where your O Haze x Sk1 X's
Or what about tod mcormick
you look at his website and whole line near 50 strains and its Nevil Haze x O Haze x Everything
not O Haze x everything
ON Haze x everything
why is that ?
because Neville Schoenmakers ( RIP ) was the Haze master and nobody has come close.
Me and every other seedmaker uses someone elses work to carry on in his own direction and of course still give credit to the originator of the work your using
yes i see that ,
and yes i can name a few that took landrace varieties and made something from them ,
from scratch ,
sam for one , with his skunk ,
my mate moon unit with his zoidfuel ,
thats all i know for now but its a start ,
tom hill did maintain deep chunk also, which is a landrace,
probably others i cant think of off the top of my head but they are around ..
and yes i did use nevil and shantis work to make some stuff ,
i certainly havent been patting myself on the back saying ive done something wonderful on my own though ,
or that it is my work , on the contrary , i have given credit to the folks who did the original work ,
and taken none myself because the selection i did was a minor part ,
a bit like nevil really with his haze selection , which was also a minor part because he started with something good ,
see what i mean ??
(also its unlikely i will sell any commercially,, i just share them around with friends and some folks here and we all grow it locally where i live )
so yep your correct most folks use others stuff ,
or as sam put it , we stand on the shoulders of giants ,
just some folks demand more credit than others ,
and often the people who did the real work,
get very little credit as harvestreapers post points out ....
