I bought seeds 17 years ago as a member of ADPC, the first Usenet network discussing pot growing. We (the members) had the very first link to seeds from the Dam from a guy named Jock. I started with the old stuff, NW genetics piped to the Dam from the NW U.S.A. Stuff like Sensi Skunk (which I got routed from a distributor in Sweden to the U.S.), Posi. Jack Herer, Haze. That's during the days when the real, old timey genetics came about, mainly from the breeding efforts of the NW hippies and Cali gene collectors like Sam the Skunkman - Haze, Skunk #1, Shiva Skunk, JH, Northern Lights #1, Kush. Got beans from many other breeders over a period of like 2 years (Sag, TFD, Bros. Grimm) and did a helluva lot of crossing. After literally mailing out a 1,000 to friends, I still have my own stock. I have rare stuff like Bros. Grimm In/Out Mix.
NO ONE has those precious old genetics done by cubing and such. Ron at Heaven's Stairway sold me 20 at a buck a piece. They were strays mixed up on the sorting table from Sly and Soul....predecessors to and including C99, Princess....you may know the story.
It just simply amazes me how folks will fall for basically nothing more than a story and a cute name. As much as these mutts have been interbred since those early days, there can't be anything new coming out. Eh?
Check out the way Jock would ship, in foam with a greeting note! First photo is the front, 2nd the back with Eva's greeting, 3rd the label covering the seeds which were buried in a dug out channel, part of that strip in photo 1 & 2. When I first opened it up I thought it was a joke. Had to write Jock via ADPC to even find the beans! THAT was security folks....done the old fashion (and very time consuming) way.

Jock had a sense of humor. He was as slow as Xmas so when I FINALLY got this card....I about fell over in laughter (front of card).
