It appears seedbay still has some of MadMacs repro
okay I wasn't sure if those were the one's to go for... I'm on it!
thanks immensely

Let's think about the a5 side of nevils haze because sometimes it's treated as an afterthought as if all the phenos would produce Same progeny when crossed to haze c. First of all we've seen the wide range of 5hz when we look at c5(1) to c5 122. Also the original nl5 breeder clone of nevs has been classified as an extreme outlier nev found in seeds and nothing like it appeared for him again. Also it's been mentioned that there were originally 4 to 5 a5 phenos in Holland graded from least NLD to most. Original nl5 was Not a run of the mill hybrid as it contained indonesian/thai/hawaiian type referred to as green clay because of the extreme resin. Stone guru has pulled some incredible phenos out of Gass 84 nl5 x 88 c5hz on bean basement. Regardless if nevs clone was 84 nl5 or nl5 x nl2 it had these genes. During the grail project nev was insistent on using only 97 nh(same as regseeds) now most took that to mean something was different about current line. Nev and dj look at 97 NH as the pinnacle of nevs haze breeding and selection.
now Shanti has said all along he selected a new a5 out of seeds nev have him. This means not only was his a5 different but also made with neither original parent has haze a died long ago and nevs nl5 cut presumed to be lost in the aftermath of cannabis castle crumbling open house while nev sat in jail.
haze A has always been known as most powerful and different to other haze selections. Not knocking haze c as its progeny is world famous but it's breeding traits are more easily found in other lines still available.. haze a was closest to the first haze female that nev didn't keep and considered this his #1 breeding regret. If the a genome could be pulled out of its progeny and combined with Tom hill, Mac haze, haze 4 dayz the original lines may be reborn. Mac has had great success with his most recent breeding including a5.
so we know a5 has aome back to community thru grace of ganja gods along with karma and yo Sammy. Even though this clone is considered to be in the middle of nld grading scale it's already changed haze world for the better with killer a5 etc however that's only one pheno.
now here's where I'm going with this -revival of haze A. New breeding technology has created a revolutionary process known as reverse breeding. It can extract homogenous parent chromosomes from an f1 before they are reshuffled in f2 segregation. Meisosis is stopped chromosomes from crossing over and recombination. Haploid Spores of anthers and pollen are then mated to produce double haploid lines which will contain alleles homogenous to original f1 parents. There are at least 3 haze a f1s still in existence ag13 , a5 karma, and great 88/brown haze/piff by piffcoastfarms in us. I'm currently trying to develope protocols to Create double haploid lines for cannabis
How can you expect any plant to produce its best if you over fertilizer it ?
How many seed did you in fact grow out ?
I found a mom and 2 males in my first seed run but i still had lots more seed and then ran more but my best were in the first 10 seed i ran that dose not mean the others were shit far from it but we go for stand outs.
You guys expect every seed to produce a cannabis cup champion but that is not how it works in any hybrid.
Every seed from Sams OHaze dose not produce winning plants dose it.
How many here have grown Nevils genetics for over 2 decades i bet few if any i have and even when i ran the widow or other things i still had Nevil Haze work growing because its that good.

Well I will just say that the 2015 MNS Nevil Haze was not BLD. All NLD plants with the normal looking leaves and the plants all stretched uncontrolably. The jury is out on the overall smoke though. Sure they were overferted but that doesnt mean it was the be all end all of haze. The very next grow of Todd's OHaze came out fantastic as did the subsequent grow of THH. Well maybe I won't flower the NH again afterall...the A5s1 from Karma also came out better, but very low flavor smell and as that one plant came out mostly long flowering NL.
In my opinion if you want the real deal go with the pure stuff end stop. The hybrids are fun, improve yield often, improve indoor adaptability and muddy the high. I have yet to find anything as good a quality high as seedsman o. Haze. This is just my very humble opinion.
Not looking for an argument Lost but you your self posted and said
Over fertilized is not a healthy plant Lost and how many seed did you grow out healthy of the Nevils Haze to full maturity to give the line a fare and honest assessment ?
These are My Nevils Haze F1s i grew Lost they look healthy to me were are the pictures of your NH is flower and in all their Glory.
Sorry I should have specified, it’s a pure sativa hybrid. I would rather grow pure sativa hybrids of haze and pure sat versus indica or even hybrid ind/sat x haze. But the other is fun too sometimes(ind x haze). Just my opinion.

After the first batch of '69 Haze seeds only produced 1 plant, I decided to plant the rest. This produced 5 plants A,B,C,D and E.
Plants B,D and E were females, of which B was the best. I tried all possible combinations and the best was B x C. BC was actually grown commercially alongside 5HzC1, so it was a 10/11 week plant. This fact alone indicated that HzB was a Haze Hybrid to something early. I suspect that most of BC's quality came from Dad.
I planted the rest of the old seeds. One came out. O for Omega. It was a 1970 seed. I suspected that it was only 25% Haze with one parent being Indica. It too did not really pan out.
The males were the "goods". Without those two plants, I think that all would have been lost. If I'd only kept a cutting of the first female, whose genotype was closer to male A. I'm start to get that sad feeling again.
Ah well, you can be thankful that the seeds fell into my hands, otherwise you wouldn't know what I'm talking about.

Not quite true I had a pure OHaze I grew in Santa Cruz that was 10 weeks, Brian's Early Haze, it was my seeds and I gave Brian the plant he grew, I was there to see it grown, flowered and harvested and I smoked some, it was great.

As for Reverse breeding have you read any of Nevils posts on what he felt was the best way forward for Haze breeding ?
It was not reverse breeding mate and a keep tip is this Nevil put more importance in the male side than he did the female side when it came to breeding.
I just want to point out, from how I interpreted what Piff said, it is not with the aim of further breeding it but to recreate the original parental stock.
Once original parental stock is produced, then yeah people will run with it in whatever direction they choose.
If you have the starting material, a method that works, the means and ability...I can't see why anyone would be against this other than Shanti possibly. For you would hold the key that many have searched for.
It makes sense to me to do this, if possible, to preserve those origins. Isn't that the point of repros? So we dont lose what we have left? And then also allow to further in other directions? Its science really, preservation and evolution. The human race, society, everything, is based on evolution. To refuse is to stand still while the world moves around you.

The Y chromosome is handed down from father to son to grand son etc. There is only one sire line.
N.
Reversing is extreme inbreeding mate and as the male carry's the ancestral memory you need to use a male as that genetic information is past down from a male to male if you are going to gig out ancestral plants.
Nevil suggested to ether use a Nevils Haze male to an unrelated Haze if that exists or to use a Nevils Haze male to a unrelated sativa like a Thai and to then go threw those seed and to seek out ancestral plants.
He has posted some of this and he also suggested inbreeding and to store seed so its not lost .
The y-chromosome is inherited more or less unchanged from father to son to grandson, indefinitely. ... Most chromosomes, including the two x-chromosomes possessed by females, get recombined or shuffled each generation before being passed down to offspring.

Hemp brother, you never even read what Piff was sharing, your eyes gazed over and shut him down with Nevil, Nevil and Nevil.
He mentioned new breeding TeK he found. Not methods/observations that originated a few decades back.
