Pics from our grows back then are rare. I like seeing those. Most of us never did that for obvious reasons.

That's a good representation of what connoisseur herb looked like in 1980. The rest of us smoked Mexican. Here's a picture I took in 1979 in freshman year of college, in Texas. We broke up a QP and it was the most weed I'd ever owned or seen at the time.

It was Oaxacan, what we used to call "Woa bud." Really skinny, airy buds, as you can see, and no visible frost. Harvested very prematurely, most of the seed was not ripe. There was a shit load of seed. Many stems also. Less than half the weight was actually smokable. It was happy weed, but not very potent, probably because it was so immature at harvest. When we'd run out of weed, we'd break out the rolling tray (or the album cover) and separate all the seeds that still had husks on them, then separate the dried calyxes from the seed. That's where the resin was. There'd be enough calyxes for a joint or a couple bong hits. That shit was fire. Way more potent than the rest of it. Tells me it could've been really good weed if grown and cured properly.

I remember having a 35 mm film canister full of Oaxacan seed. I think I threw them away but I'm not certain. I should go rummage through my old camera gear bag, just for kicks. It's been in a locked file cabinet in the basement for 10 years, and I've lost the key.
