Blueberry .. It was all over Eugene Oregon for a couple years. DJ short I believe and it's vone, never to return.

OG18 by DNA, was an early 2000 strain, grew outstanding in and outdoors.. Even the outties looked like indoor, outstanding smoke and nice yielder. Gone as well and will never return.

From the earliest days, Skunk strains were "it". And Columbia Gold, Panamanian Red, Hawaiian (far ahead of the rest of the USA at the time)

What happened however, being honest, is one day folks started going to Amsterdam and smuggling back buds that looked like beautiful yarn and premium seeds. Potent, pretty, delicious. Very hard to surpass except in local circles.

Bringing the seeds here from the banks, and development in the various locales (West Coast, Florida, NYC, Arizona/Texas, Midwest). Once those genetics got here and began to be grown in premium climates (i.e. California, Hawaii, Midwest), it all changed.

Competition against the brick buds (which were sometimes very potent) began and once high quality genetics proliferated across the US, the barrier to great bud -- which at the time was getting it across the border...no longer mattered. It all was grown here in the US, and we Americanized the industry into much of the good and bad we have today.

The single biggest change to the industry was the movement to indoor growing.

There were obvious benefits of bag appeal and security, but indoor lights are not the sun. While its tough to grow buds that look way better than indoor bud, I will continue my lifelong argument that nothing can replace the sun and earth's natural soils. You just cant replicate Hawaii's lava rock and UV light. Or the mountain and ocean breezes.

The other thing that changed is naming strains...all that brick bud from Mexico was just...whatever! It was a big step forward to begin isolating and cataloging strains.

Live and grew up in the Bay Area and started smoking around 1996 it was all about ALASKAN THUNDERFUCK!! Then WHITE WIDOW, SKUNK1, SENSI STAR! After that Jack herer came around and XJ13 then TRAINWRECK AROUND 1999

I still remember 1997 being in 8th grade and staying the weekend in Santa Cruz. Me and my boy were trouble makers already smoking weed and cigarettes. We went to shoulder tap for cigarettes and met a guy who gave us a free gram of WHITE WIDOW. Some of the best weed ever back then. It was coated like fire weed is nowadays!

I've seen some light dep greenhouse grown flower that could pass as indoors to some noobs. Not better than my indoors but still- seen some greenhouse light deps that have a really high end bag appeal and great smoke, nose, and terps.

Some of my straight outdoor passes for indoor. Last year it was the Purple Punch and Bodhi’s Lavender Jack. Both grown organic no till and both looked like indoor. Two of my favorite strains now. And bugs hate Purple Punch for some reason which I LOVE ❤
