yes this is my select cutting of destroyer. 2009 in outdoor.
Unfortunately I don’t have it anymore. But a few years ago I bought a packet that I will put out this year (knowing that they come from my cutting), and I will make another selection, I will produce seeds.
You’re welcome. Considering the age, would those Golden Tiger be from the original releases with the Meao Thai? They’re all absolute treasures! You’re a great steward of this plant and for this planet. That good taste is a skill! Many blessings and much love
Oh yes, they are all original. The only thing I need is to have the jars full enough to last 16 weeks of flowering.
My destroyer was going after 12/13 weeks. and the purple haze x panama that I selected, outdoors it was harvested in December/January.
Nice seeds, all those xThai hybrids were made by Pebble after he received the male cut from Charlie. He had several female cuts at the garden (Vietnam Black, Nah Trang, Angola, Ko Chang, Malawi, OT Haze…) that 2008 season and all were pollinated with that same male and some seeds released by ACE, along with others that were never released like Kashmir x Thai or Deep Chunk x Thai (Monkey Stick). Pebble had a thread on Icmag where he posted all the pictures. We were speaking a lot those years.
I’ve reproduced the Angola x Thai towards F4 myself and even crossed a male with a Destroyer cut I’ve obtained via CBG at the time, probably yours, unfortunately I couldn’t kept it.
On the other hand, in later conversations with Raco, he speculated that Thai male cut could be his Destroyer Mr Klean male that he shared with Charlie instead, because the timeline when Charlie received it matched and that plant could pass for a pure Thai anytime. In that case, all the crosses would have been xDestroyer instead of xThai.
It wouldn’ surprise me but it’s hard to find out the truth when the lack of transparency is usually the norm. The later generations of Destroyer were probably hybridized with something else. I remember Jardi saying they had a C99 smelling Destroyer in Madrid. BahiaSeeds who was also close to CBG said it could be Jack Herer or some other Haze hybrid. Maybe the same cut they used for the Caribe or Leshaze hybrids? Who knows. Unfortunately breeders always seem scared to be sincere with those things, secrets of the trade I guess.
Much respect to Siete, the breeder who made the Destroyer possible and original CBG member, he stabilized the Colombian/Mexican hybrid for years before that happened and also provided the Thai genetics, along with others like Pakistan Chitral, Uzbekistan, Jamaica BM and so on. Real mastermind behind CBG in my opinion. Can’t forget about him, Estai and others who also did a lot of work.
Yes, Pebble, big.
I also had the Jardi clone at home, we shared many, many things in those years. Like Tom Hill’s Monkey Haze, which @Raco gave us.
It could easily pass for Thai, the male of the destroyer Mr. Clean. I’ve read things about Cannabiscafe.
My cut was wonderful, I’m about to put the regular ones I have and make a reproduction. I already know what I have to select very well.
I also made some seeds with the SSH98, NL5H, Chronic (I don’t know if you’ll get your hands on them) from that time. The truth is that I made a lot of seeds for myself; I think I have some crosses with the Durban that I selected at the time. Now that Durban would be worth gold. XD
I got to F2 with the Chronic x Destroyer, in the cannabiscafe I have the thread of the F1.
Now I’m busy with the Sourbubble, to see if I can get BX3 like the one from Berto and Petit; but all I get is BX4…
