You need a cheese in there.
Blue cheese idk who made it but I steadily had it for a while through out the 2010-2020. Went away. Legalized and store sold it to me once and then a knock off. It did say barneys farm on the knock off.

Im talking about the one that pretty much smells like actual bluecheese the cheese. Hints of blueberry since thats the parent but it was suuuper cheesey the cheesiest Ive had. Its legendary too.

Yea reading the initial post (should of done that) but even then I see lots of strains that are thrown. What makes them legendary? The story, the back bone of todays strains?

Like bluecheese being some of the first cheese strains which I dont see much lineage of. Just uk cheese and exodous cheese.

Just saw title and a comment and first thing came to mind its for sure legendary around me it was amoungst the must haves. Not really like todays strains it was a simple cross and made something legendary IMO.

I think providence, popularity, and scarcity play a roll.

Cuts that are/were tightly held are usually good examples.

Original works from the 60s-90s that made a splash likely qualify, especially from the seed bank. Even the magazines with pictures and descriptions are legendary now.

I think GSC is legendary by virtue of how big of an impact it's had, although it's pretty easy to get ahold of at this point, and alot of people don't fuck with it.

Just my 2 cents.

Ok yea at first I wasnt gonna join thread I dont know much about old strains and breeding. What would quality but saw brick weed and skunk 1 and OP said NL. Strains that were about up to the 2000’s.

Just looking up blue cheese was on high times and won several awards which OP asked about. Idk if gg4 was mentioned but if thats not legend idk what is lol. Gg4 is aging.

I thought thread was going to turn into discussion of general strains that made a big impact including underground. Love anything underground.

I seen people say that basically a lot of strains are gone or not as good as some of todays and upcoming.

That its more a nostalgia thing but its a heated topic. Politics and culture, breeding. I respect all not dissing any I personally would love to try some of these old old strains people say will do ya.

Nl and sk1 are still available, they're also the building blocks for other legendary strains like Mango Haze and super silver haze.

Gg4 may well be on its way to legendary, but it's 10 years old, and has contributing legendary genetics in chem sis and sour.

In my opinion, cannabis that came into the fold post rec scene is probably too recent to be legendary. The best test is the test of time.

Award winning = award winning

In my opinion just because something is amazing, doesn't make it legendary. The work done by cultures who cultivated for centuries (if not millenia) and the work done when it was a serious criminal offense at the height of the drug war adds something larger than life to the strains of old... what is a legend without a story to go along with it?

Ok yea that gives more perspective thanks. I wasnt quite sure what thread was for until now. I thought when people say skunk 1 they meant road kill skunk.

I guess my journey began with find high yielding hash strains as a dabs only now guy. Im not in search of anything history related. Just started growing seriously since Jan.

another one I remembered. "La Preferita"was the first one I tried when I was young (1992). It came from Paraguay. At that time they were BUDS, a popular name here for herbs without pressing (shrimp) or (fox tail) (cabróbró). Today the herb in Brazil is pressed.and it has no flavor because of it. They all have the same rotten ammonia smell from the chemical result of the seeds pressed inside.

La preferita that I tried had a flavor, I believe just as they describe Colombian gold, or Acapulco. Very intense sativas buzz citrus, limonene, a little pressed but not too much, beautiful buds. My brother and I planted some seeds in my mother's flower pot, and when she
and understood what it was, she was terrified, it didn't grow much, she cut it. That day we were beaten by my father. When I left home it took me a while but I started practicing because I always remembered La preferita. And my mother now loves my flowers.

I may have possibly smoked Mango rosa, Purple Thai, Acapulgo Gold, Colombian Gold in my adolescence without even knowing, Then I grow and a smoke skunk 1# from sensi in 2009 and others.

In 2013 I won with friends (the first Brazilian forum) An original MR soul cut. I keep about 11 years.

Since then, following the growing scene with Aliens Labs Straight Fighters in Exotic genetix cream and coockies, Seed Junky now in collab with Caps with the Colombian crosses on your Mac, incredible new selections from Beleaf, LIT farms, Tiki Madman, Archive, Mimosa from symbiotic, Karma genetics, DNA, Khalifa and compound, there are so many to choose from, and is beatifull.

The last one I picked was Mimosa from symbiotic and for me one of my favorites flavours. Now I'm going with Tina and Poppins. ygriega of Payton
and Tina (fighters) must be Fuel.

Let´s Go.

Manga Rosa strain from Brasil. Popular name also known as Cabeça de Preto, Black Head.
It has fruit terpenes like mango.

It is believed that it came from Africa with slaves (1500).
I like to imagine that even this could be true, we cannot rule out, that there already existed Indians who were nomads and crossed the Bering
,came from central Asia. They were hunters, gatherers and developed techniques for domesticating animals and for agriculture.

For me there is a possibility that maybe Manga Rosa is a cross between African and indigenous lineage, as both cultures had habits of consuming the herb, because they stayed together like slaves, in the same places, scape together. They produced their food and lived their customs. There are no reports about this fact, but also at the time of Brazilian primary oral speech, only a few had access to writing and therefore little is known about that time.

White Widow from Scotibaba is a Brazilian strain, I wonder if when he came to South America at 80s and got seeds from a Brazilian from Amazonia, he could possibly have gotten the Manga rosa and then trying to send it back (Veneno da Lata, 86)


In Australia at same time where shatibaba lived with his father, he came to Brazil, they were developing indoor lighting. But that's another story.

What intrigues me about this whole saga, is this ship? could the "Veneno da Lata" from Rio de Janeiro, be a shipment of Manga rosa 2 of Scott?
Same cross indoor version (white Widow)? Everyone who found the flowers floating in the sea, when they opened
the flowers inside, were dense and leaked, a very strong oil, the herb was very potent and unbelievably tasty.


I love cannabis like you, I have been cultivating and following it for 15 years and today I celebrate your victory, it is reflected here, because in Brazil I am no longer a criminal. I lived in hiding and I will continue, here it is the best thing to do. Maybe when we legalize... Decriminalize isn't enough, we want more, we want parties.

Stay safe and pass the ball

Tbh an Amazonian line in my opinion is the Brazilian used in white widow that's got that bittersweet minty hint to it you get from proper old school widow not maga Rosa though it's a good strain in its own right Brasil has or had many cool lines kc still uses a few in his work like the blackhead mango velhemo and some others

On the subject of legends there is too many to list pretty much all the building blocks be it landrace or the earlier simpler hybrids without em we wouldn't have anything today
I'm just on the other side. Been growing on and off since I was tought at 16, working as a waterboy. I'm 29 now and I barely smoke, I just grow because I love it.

Anything yall can refer to read to learn more I just dont know where to start and am a bad researcher. I have videos Ive watched but ya hard to cover them all and their history.

Most my energy is just going to making rosins and yielding more but Im still a weed dork and feel like Im missing a lot of must knows as a “weed nerd.”

It's incredibly subjective, and IMHO depends on your age and what you've been exposed to. My era was the 70's on the West Coast, so the epic strains then were Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, Columbian, Maui Wowie, and Thaistick. Then I spent serveral years in Humboldt County in the mid 70's to early 80's, that was the begining of sinsemilla and the introduction of Indica, which was pretty new to most people, prior to that it was mostly Mexican ragweed, which was always seeded. In Humboldt "The Skunk" was king, but as far as I can find, that line is dead. What they sell now as skunk is nowhere near as "skunky" as it was then. In the fall, you could literally drive down a country road and the smell of skunk was everywhere (but no dead skunks).

As far as Indica goes, I have an interesting story. A grower got busted for possession for sale (which was rare in Humboldt Co.) at the time in Ca. only Cannabis Sativa was specified illegal. The growers defense was that I was growing Indica, therefore it's not illegal. I had a Botany professor that was called as a expert witness for the defense, his testimony was that it was possible to distinguish Indica from Sativa when they're growing, but not once it's dried trimmed and bagged up (this was pre DNA). The Prosecution saw the writting on the walls, and dissmissed all charges, not wanting the Judge to rule and set legal precidence. A week later the legislature added all species of cannabis to the statute.

Off topic but I'm surprised to find you are that young . Your style and presence of mind made me think you were much older . That's a compliment !

Thanks Conor, I would love to run some Brazilian line for her. She loves my weed so we're good but it would be sweet to try to find something. I have asked her to bring me seeds and they are planning on heading down there soon so I would love to get some bag seeds :)
