Pretty sure that is THE legit Maui Waui. Cherry bomb is the name of the pheno that Greengenes preserved since the 70s.
It’s not Maui Waui x Cherry bomb, it’s Maui Waui (Cherry bomb pheno/line). And according to Swami, BOEL said Maui Waui is a hybrid of Afghan and Oaxacan.
Mr.greengenes Cherry Bomb is a legit maui wowie line that he maintained since the seventies. it was actually DNA tested by some college boys and came out as a descending from a 70’s hawaiian mother. - check the maui wowie thread in strains and hybrids.
sadly i heard that Mr.Greengenes had passed away a few months ago.
he sent me some Cherry Bomb seeds a few years ago, i used it in my Cherryjuana cross.
I plan to do a maintenance run with my remaining seeds at some point soon and i’ll probably send some in to the bay, ive had quite a few requests for the pure Cherry Bomb
Verdant green said that on icmag in 2013, so he also knew of it and reproduced it. Then it went on seedbay and ended up in many more people’s hands as well.

Anyone that has currently received MW-CB seeds from me, has my F4 seeds. They are a lot more stable in structure than the F1* I received. Because MrGreenGenes inbred it for years, and then VerdantGreen ran it, which led to another F generation and finally to my hands, I can’t say exactly how inbred it is; For simplicity sake I’m using F1* so we remember that it’s way more inbred than I’ve made it. The seeds I’ll be giving out this winter will be F5 selections.
I still have a small number of seeds from F1, F2, F3 & F4 generations that exist incase I f*ck up and have to go backwards. There’s no sugar coating it, but sometimes a new F generation isn’t as good as it’s parents.

Someone posted their log of growing out NL over several generations. By F4 or 5, he had the Pheos of one parent strain, by F6 phenos of both parental strains of the original NL showed up. He called reverse engineering NL.

Ive heard that before. Some sort of Afghani x Mexican combined into a worked line.

When I look at the parts that make up a hybrid, I always think of Prego spaghetti sauce. It’s in there. If you are growing plants from the same line, the phenotype that you are looking for is bound to pop up eventually. Ive searched for a particular phenotype from my own stuff for many years. Just a couple years ago I got really close, and I believe the Next Generation I could find what I’ve been looking for.

It’s that roll of the genetic dice, and going through seeds till you find what your looking for. It’s dedication to keep the parents, and at least one clone of each seed plant until it needs to be culled. That’s what separates breeders from seed makers. Unfortunately for someone with plant/space limits, that could take years of growing Out one batch of seeds to find if it’s in there.
Of course if there’s a chart of known traits that may be dominant or recessive.

Is Mr Greengenes deceased? I thought he was still alive. I think he was at least in 2018… he has a site. I can’t find anything saying he passed. Anyone know for sure?

I think he’s still alive? I read that thread on icmag further when I saw that, and he was posting.

I was thinking he was. He’s got an interesting website, or used to. I’ll try and find it in my bookmarks.
He has it as a private site now. It had some neat reading. I saved it to go back and finish it all. Maybe he’s getting up there in age.

Alot of the oldschool breeders have passed or are getting really old, I mean we’re talking about guys that were in there 30s and 40s in the 1980s. So if 35 in 1985 you would be 70 years old. If you were 20 in 1985 you would still be in your mid fifties. I know we can all do math lol just thought I’d point out how much time has really gone by.

Unfortunately, you don’t have to remind me, lol. I was 30 in 1980. I knew lots of guys back then that were 10-15 years older than me, some more. I lost touch with most. Lots of memories and the stories that could be told… with a few old pics. Been wanting to dig them out. Some winter day. I have a scanner to get them online.
