Sorry you don't understand or weren't around to have witnessed and experienced the subject we on, and I'm sorry you're so hurt and jealous that you have to resort to calling me an imbecile. I'm far from stupid. No one said the amount of plants grown in the US was greater than the rest of the planet in the 80's. You're just trying to desperately get a one up.
The people here weren't breeding for stability and yield. Our goals were way different than the dutch. We bred for potency, flavor, and smell. Because we liked potent tasty weed, dealt with clones and weren't focused on selling seeds. That's why some of our strains might be herm prone and not stable from seed, but they're better tasting and more potent than what the dutch were putting out. Even now the world wants and talks about American strains, and even go as far as to fake like they're from here (humboldt seed org).
No one was hating on dutch seed banks. It's you wankers hating on Americans. Because you're in the skunk thread talking about original skunk weed that you've never had, and mad that you've never had it. So you turn the tables to an argument about the dutch. Too bad you've never smelled a skunk or had original skunk weed in the 80's and 90's, and have no idea what us Americans are talking about.
lol everyone in the whole wide world is jealous of american weed that grew in the 1980s
is this really your position ?
if so it is a very weak position to adopt
i stand by my earlier statement you are a imbecile not because you are american but because you are you
"our goals were different" so you speak for all american breeders ?
which one of the famous breeders are you ?
the dutch took your silly jungle haze and created practical haze hybrids with it
using your indica too
Americans bought these seeds in droves and still grow dutch hybrids today
what is it you want credit for ?
it seems to me that you feel that america has not received the praise that is justified ?
the keepers that are kept around the world mostly come from 1990s dutch seed stock
or stock released after this date, i am not saying Americans did not contribute in the 80s
but i feel you are overplaying your role here,
you americans had a good idea done some of the early ground work
but then again so did the folk selecting in fields where land races originated that built your orignal clones perhaps it should be Afghanistan that we are thanking not america
the dutch put it into practice for you that kind of hurts i understand
you will get over it in time
peace
