Very nice Cannigrow. I bet she is stanky alright Some say they like the sister "better" than the others and i can see why. I do think the D is most potent so far, havent tried the #4. But i can say that the sister wreeks sumthin fierce. Not really any discerning taste like the D or others. But just pure stank smell and taste. Very pure!

In 1986, after a coma almost took his life, he struggled to relearn the guitar.
After a grueling regimen returned him to form,
his friend and longtime roadie Steve Parish suggested they spend some time in Kauai,
“the perfect place for a troubled soul to find some peace, and to reconnect with family and friends,”

Curiosity was one of Garcia’s greatest traits,
and he fell in love with the majestic scenery and rugged landscape of Kauai,
but the trip also opened up whole new vistas for him under the sea.
Parish had his scuba certification and cajoled Garcia, never an athlete, into making a dive.
He was enchanted. “This is a sport I can do,” he said afterwards, telling Parish, “I want to learn more.”

That was the start of a fascination that would become a central theme in the last decade of Garcia’s life.
Hawaii has always appealed to explorers, and Garcia’s life was always about exploration,
so it’s no wonder that his time in the islands tapped the deepest wellsprings of his art.
“It’s like going to a different world,” he said in 1992. “You’re in a different place. It’s very sensual.
There’s lots of new information there, a lot of levels, a lot of things to think about.”
As Garcia spent more time on his visual art in the 1980s and ’90s, underwater scenes and fish motifs decorated his paintings and drawings.

Did Chem Dog Birth Sour Diesel?
Interestingly, another jamband concert played a pivotal role in spreading the gospel of Chem Dog. Phish’s 1992 show at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City is where Chem and Weasel first met. Once they realized they both had the fire, a friendship was forged and cuttings exchanged: Chem 91 went with Weasel to Staten Island, while RFK made its way to Western Mass.

Mass Super Skunk

Well here are some pics of the infamous mass superskunk. When I first read of it in the cannabile 1 and that it was crossed with chem to make the sour d. I started to really think that my long lost friend was the creater of the diesal. After 3 or 4 yrs of digging on over grow I was reunitrd with...

When the chems are around since 91 why we haven't heard of 30% strains earlier?

Results​

Between January 1, 1995, and December 31, 2014, 38,681 samples of cannabis preparations were received and analyzed. The data showed that although the number of marijuana samples seized over the last 4 years has declined, the number of sinsemilla samples has increased. Overall, the potency of illicit cannabis plant material has consistently increased over time since 1995 from ~4% in 1995 to ~12% in 2014. The cannabidiol content has decreased on average from ~.28% in 2001 to <.15% in 2014, resulting in a change in the ratio of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol to cannabidiol from 14 times in 1995 to ~80 times in 2014.

Conclusions​

There is a shift in the production of illicit cannabis plant material from regular marijuana to sinsemilla.

i.e.
(High quality legal commercial products)
that would be my guess everyone can obtain and grow the best...
also testing is available to everyone, before where were you going to have a sample tested?
there was mostly just commercial brick weed...

CHEM SISTER​

HT
"Chem's Sister (Chem’s Sis) is a Sativa dominant variation of the classic Chem Dog strain. Originally known as "Chem Dog A" - she's the sibling to three other #ChemDog phenotypes

(including the more famous Chem 91') all of which first came into existence in 1991.

Thanks to the legendary breeder and grower Chem Dog"

“If it weren’t for the Grateful Dead, I wouldn’t be blowing glass, nor the grower of Chemdog,” he says. “The Dead brought me here to this place right now, led me to finding the strain that became Chemdog. I really owe it all to them.”

The Family Dog



In 1966, a free-spirited rock promoter named Chet Helms teamed up with a bunch of hippies and started putting on some of the greatest rock events of all time. They called their commune/promotions company, The Family Dog.

The Family Dog’s weekly dance hall revues gave the local bands a forum to perform their groundbreaking music. It was here in places like the Fillmore Auditorium and the Avalon Ballroom where the philosophies and ideals of a counterculture revolution found their voice.

To spread the word about its live events, The Family Dog hand-picked a small army of graphic artists to design promotional posters and handbills. The most influential of the group became known as the “San Francisco Five.” This extremely creative crew was comprised of Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse and Wes Wilson. They would go on to produce some of the most iconic and memorable imagery in the history of rock and roll.

The art of The Family Dog captures the spirit of free expression. It reflects the bold experimental freedom of the era, and it serves as a guidepost for future generations who long for peace, love and understanding
often called the father of San Francisco's 1967 "Summer of Love,"

The Warlocks, featuring, from left to right, Phil Lesh on bass, Bob Weir, rhythm guitar, Bill Kreutzman, drums, Jerry Garcia, lead guitar and Ron "Pigpen" McKernan on keyboards, play a gig in the San Francisco Bay area sometime in 1965. By year's end the band would change their name to The Grateful Dead and set off on a thirty year run as one of top touring rock bands of all time.

I think the increase in testing post legalization, and this is around the Boulder/Denver area so maybe the altitude, there has been a lot of research done at universities here post legalization too

chemmy jones is a big strain in this area but I don't think it really took off anywhere else, I think it won some Denver cup but not 100%

Vice story on stardawg

"The strain is one of the country’s most common, alongside Cheese and Amnesia, but it’s only Stardawg that aggressively splits opinions. There are those who’d pick it over any other bag, and those who’d dump their dealer over it. On the r/uktrees subreddit, some argue that it “got a nation through a pandemic”, while others complain it’s “wet and chemically”, or “the only strain” that makes them paranoid."

“When you open up that bag, you take a smell and it makes your eyes bulge out.”

I wish i still had chem d in the garden. But the time i got ahold of her she had the hops viroid real bad and after a few years of keeping her segregated and never cross contaminating scissors I got tired of taking special precautions and let her go. Now that i know where to have clones scrubbed and ran through tissue culture I kick myself for not holding on.

I have seen Dead and Co every year, but this year they are skipping Michigan. And I am not driving 5 hours to hear my favorite songs played at half speed. I'll try to catch some JRAD and Wolf bros this year.
