Who's Got The Fostiest Buds? Let's See How Frosty A Bud Can Really Get?

These are not mine but I thought some might enjoy seeing a Maui sativa that's been kept going in clone form since the 70's. The owner of these plants has offered a cutting of it to Neville to use in the creation of the strain he's working on he calls The Grail. I don't know if he will consider using it, but it looks pretty special and it brings back a lot of memories of decades gone by.

There is a MAJOR misconception among the young about pot from the 60's and the 70's. They think it was all the over-dried pressed Mexican brickweed .. that actually came along later when Mexican pot farmers learned about heavier producing faster flowering indicas and tried to make crosses and took some pretty decent strains and destroyed them. Not everything was fantastic back then, but there were some that were as good or better than anything that exists today.

But you are right about how widespread the better strains were. Where I lived you always had a choice from several really top strains but in some areas you didn't. Anyone from an area that didn't would say pot stunk back then .... but anyone with access to the best of the era would say pot was better back then.

What year did you begin toking? What year did you begin growing? How long of a list can you put together of the famous old school strains that you smoked in the 60's and 70's and also grew?

How large is your strain comparative base and level of exposure to a large number of strains over the DECADES to be able to support your claim saying what I said was; "BULLSHIT?"

What you call; "sexy stolen nugs" I saw as an opportunity for the many people here who were not alive in the 60's and the 70's and who believe all strains from that era were low grade dirt-weed to get a chance to see something from that era and then have a better idea of what things were actually like.

As for what I do know and what I might not know, you are of course more than welcome to your own personal opinion. But you should never be so foolish as to believe that just because you want or believe something to be a certain way that it will magically and mystically become what you want or believe it to be.

I wasn't around for the 70s but I can't imagine it being entirely different from now. The bad was bad, the good was good, maybe the good was better. Considering that the genetics were more pure, but considering the advance in knowledge and technology concerning cannabis maybe its a little better that way now. The argument seems circular, though I wouldn't think of arguing with someone that much older than me with that much more experience. Especially not being alive back then, might make me look like a pretentious and arrogant angst filled teenager...

As I said, not all strains were great back then. The average strain of today is better than the average strain of the past. And in some areas people did not have equal access to certain strains that others had. But the best of them from the past could stand toe to toe with anything from today, and some would come out on top taking the Pepsi challenge.

The biggest difference in strains of today compared to the past is variety. You can get some sativa high mixed with some indica stone, and that is something we did not have. But when talking pure potency, there never was the massive increase in potency that most people today believe occurred.

Most people today do not know how the way THC levels were tested was changed and it resulted in a false major increase in levels of THC. What's more, they don't want to know because the puppies of today want and need to believe they are smoking the most potent pot that has existed to date.

Since this is a thread for showing frosty bud and not discussing things I suggest that before it turns into a discussion thread that people just go back to posting frost on the pumpkin ... and I apologize to any and all for having attempted to show them a bit of history, something from the past that they would, and could, never imagine existed. I just thought some might like to see how a roughly 40 year old strain would compare to the pictures of modern strains. Evidently I was wrong in believing some might be interested.

well brick top i can't hate you for taking the high ground after showing a marvelous lack of "knowledge" and a superb surplus of shit, and you are right this isnt a fourom or thread in which a debate is really acceptable, so after i am sure you have given this a read over i will happily delete and fill with bud porn i have a RIGHT to show other people.so firstly brick, lets go over some "changes" in the times i sure you missed with your head up someones ass. 1.) the legalities involved have EVOLVED and guess what einstien, so has the tech and the tec. now everyone can see how easy it is to get 2-4-6-8 main colas and scrog or supercrop to increase yeilds meaning a more fine tuned approach toward the resin production side of things. i.e "corrct temps" "air flow" "co2" etc 2.)outdoor guerilla grows (unmaintaned large area crops) WAS the prefered method of growing in the 70 and 80s ...now how do i know that??? mabye cause my grandparents grow my parents grew, and guess what queen Elizabeth, so do a few people i know :) 3.) when was the hps bulb created....I REST MY CASE! indoor will create BETTER quality, and the "strains" back in the 60s 70s got shared grower to grower on a local level, now factor in fear, and competetion and HOW MANY GOOD STRAINS ARE GETTING TRADED\??|??| most growers started with "bagseed" so im sure beer was better back then too????your a stupid old fart and you pissed me off by your continued "high" stance. dude your a douch bag i guarantee your alone and lonely. wisdom doesn't come with age, as you continue to point out. actions and words toots
