Thank you bigherb!
Your "True Origins of Haze" bears repeating. I think about your efforts when I read about or smoke sandalwood / frankincense. My focus is on - "The High" and not so much the story.
I like the Gold one! "The Blissful One" Her full name is "Jennifer Flowers, she who knows naught of flowers" + 22 weeks
My next grow ~ "Going for the Gold"
Punto Rojo - gold, Punto Rojo - gold x ColJam, Colombian Gold x Jamaician Lambsbread, Mangobiche, and a few Old Timers Haze (OTH) selections from a gold OTH mother.
PS> hehehe, from English to Spanish, and back to English, its a techno world.
PPS> Charlie Garcia's Punto Rojo pictures are more convincing in tellin the story than my pictures.. hehehehe
Hazes, the mixture of different sativas ...
Haze started out being pure Colombian, but imo the Original Haze that we have today is no longer very much related to punto rojo.
Let's assume the brothers began crossing different colombians, then some mexican (acapulco gold?) was added and towards the end Kerala and Thai. The last two additions should be the most prominent ones, and the earlier Colombian stuff very diluted (25-50% max) According to SamS one of the brothers decided not to use the Thai, but did use the Kerala. One might have used both.
That would make Original Haze largely Indian, and based on the looks I believe this to be true. Nobody ever reports an Indian pheno though all they think they're seeing is Colombian, Mexican or Thai phenotypes. From what I've gathered, Haze is not Thai-like at all, it might contain very little, if any Thai.
Also the purple or maroon Colombian phenotype is very rare (if not absent?) in Original Haze. Most of the plants that I've seen and grown look indistinguishable from Indian sativas, they have a very basic green sativa look.
The very first original Haze was a late 60's three way cross of Colombian Punto Rojo, a green one, and a light magenta one, all different, all from Columbia, several years later I gave Thai and S Indian seeds that were also crossed to Haze, I had seeds of all of them, Original Haze, and Original Haze X Thai from off the stick gold Thai about 76 in Santa Cruz , called Laos at the time.
I spread the seeds around Cali etc and I brought the seeds with me to the Netherlands and used them to select clone parents for my unimproved Haze lines I preserved, I did not do much work to improve Haze I was trying to preserve it. The Thai and S Indiana Kerala X O Haze crosses were made by my neighbor, R.L. the junior O Haze grower that made the O Haze poster, as I did not grow much Haze until the next year. So anyway it is now pretty hard to tell but what most have was pure Colombian, green, purple, lime green, silver, magenta, blueish, I saw all this before Haze had anything besides Colombian in it. A little bit has Thai, and even less has S Indian. I will be testing the DNA of my Haze lines and clones, then we will maybe have answers about what they is and isn't, and maybe where all the best Cannabis in Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico came from? India, Africa? Asia? Time will tell. I have found that my line is fairly inbred as it was not out-crossed except for the Thai and S Indian one year, and that was just a few plants. Most are just pure Original Haze Colombian, with no WLD Wide Leaf Drug (was called Indica) genes, zero. Because it is inbred if you do if you do outcross it the qualities are improved like vigor and potency.

Many over the years got stuck on the relation of Thai to Haze until HappyHi came here SAMs never mentioned Punto Rojo after his post then hooteroll post and my article Sams story changed abit . Nevil himself swears Haze is related to Thai well maybe that's because it's the closest he's experienced probably something to do with the Aussies not getting Much or any lumbo
Apologies Thaibliss for going off topic ,you know I'm a Haze head it's all love brother
much respect

Greetings,
Very interesting discussion. Thanks for all the posts.
Since the subject of Thai has come up, I want to reiterate that the pot I have grown most similar to the Thai Sticks I smoked while growing up was a Neville's Haze individual. That high is unmistakable. However, I don't believe I have ever smoked Kerala, and I smoked Sumatran that had the same high.

about 20 years ago i got some thai seed only 1 made it to adulthood & it was a male ,i bread it to a skunk x twilight female & got about 15-20 seeds, out of those seeds i picked the most thai dom looking feamale.

i cant smoke verry much because it gives me anxity atacks, i still have that cut tho i dont flower it much.
Case in point...

And this one's for you TB, a wheat pheno of Neville's Haze like your best one ever - by fuaryone...

It took me three packs to find a stable male. I had poor germination rates.
Hey bushweed, can you tell me more about this Neville's Haze wheat pheno? Any info will be appreciated, saludos mexicani-ar
