Vietnam Black is Back

Hello, i saw a Post on a rewarded Site and want to know how possible this is:

Recently, a retired Vet forwarded the very last of their Vietnam Black stock to a breeder -- a strain thought be all but extinct in it's pure form. Even though the rollers in the post office crushed most of the seeds, a few VIPs (very important plants) did in fact emerge from this aging seed stock.

I Neva thought it was gone

Anything is possible , IMO if you told us the source or poster than reliability can be determined

This strain never dissapeared, some years ago was even released to the public again through a seedbank (Billy Goat?) after a reproduction, so certainly not that difficult to find.

Even before, years ago the strain was in the hands of many exotic strain enthusiasts... some seedbanks were doing hybrids with them, ACE for example circa 2008. Probably it came from past Overgrow trades. I'm sure many other people may have a few deep down in their seed boxes.

Pure vietnamese landraces (Viet Black is a hybrid) it's another whole different thing. Anyway, the article is obvioulsy really hyped, it seems someone will release those strains soon and wants to pump sales. It's a shame that the "breeder" already messed it up mixing it with trendy kush strains (so innovative), hopefully he won't try to make profit as well on selling "though to be extint" F2s that any grower can make at home, like others do so often! lol.

Peace.

PS: This are from a good old friend, non hybridised, 100% dutch/trendy genetics free:

Hey, sure i can give the Source itsback" << TOU >>

HT is a joke , too see VB mention with kush was a turn off off the jump, Soo I'd imagine it won't be any reputable breeders associated wit the above mentioned

MF laid out it out , BG / Reef / Ace / Tom hill if i recall all had / worked with the strain .

I've only tasted VB in hybrid of Willie Nelson an that was an amazing strain of grade A quality

Best of luck in your search
