You're right, it wasnt in the early catalogs... Took me forever to figure that out! Exact same envelopes mine were in though! This is such a beautiful site.... Seeing this made my morning! Do you still have these and of so are they viable? Hopefully, for your sake you took these out of the deep freeze to take pics
Great to see that I made a few people happy with this pic.
FWIW, I have the SSSC Catalogue with the 30 page (Dutch) grow guide.
Although I still have those seeds (and a few others including some self-crossed M39 x M9, KGB and Hawaiian x Skunk). None of them germinated the last time I tried, but I'll get some Gibberellic Acid and some Hydrogen Peroxide and I'll try again.
Maybe I need to look into tissue culture?
Any tips?
Short story about the Haze x South African vs me:
1989 or '90. First harvest of M48. Sunday evening. Expected some wild results from consumption, so I only had a single toke/bowl/cone. Waited 10 minutes - nothing. [Note from SSSC: This is the stain you must try before you die]
Second cone, same thing. May have only waited 5 minutes. Had a third hit and sat there. Minor glow had commenced. Thought it was a good idea to drive to my favourite Sunday night watering hole, by the beach. Still good. Got about 2 blocks from home and started to experience some visual issues. Some might call them blackouts. Either way I was suddenly further down the road than I just remembered. Struggle on. My perception was now like a badly animated puppet show, and after a few more blocks I decided a U-turn would be the clever move.
Glad I turned around, as the animation was not improving, but it least it was running in slo-mo. Made it home and parked my arse in a comfy chair to watch some mind-numbing 60 Minutes. Good idea. Mild panic and then relief. Mind racing and winning, yet losing too.
No more was smoked for a few days. Could have ended in a tragic car accident. Lucky it didn't, or was that due to my driving skills (at 20 years old)?
Current day - This one of my favourite smokes.
