I didnt ask. I was waiting for the package to arrive first. didnt want to place too much importance on something for it not to pan out, and finding out too many details would make it too important.
I believe its just a skunk from cali that was good. Will let you know

you bring up some interesting points.
I know for a fact that BC bikers were moving clones and seed all up and down the west coast, including california. My uncle was one of the riders inolved in such things.
I know that the McCord area in washington was a gathering point⌠I went to a couple of those weekend parties.
Myself, I mentored under 2 patch members of the Outlaws in the Surrey/North Delta area of BC. They were setting up and teaching HAâs how to do the indoor set ups properly. Sandy would make regular trips to San Fran, Florida and Arizona and did bring new seed on many of those trips.
Larry OG⌠I know nothing about its origins but I do know that one of the biggest indoor growers in BC in the 90âs and 2000âs was a guy named Larry. He bankrolled hundreds of grow ops where he had seperate crews that grew the weed, trimmed the weed and sold the weed, all independant of the other. The grower would get a free place to live, all the bills paid and 50% of the crop. Larry was known widely and by everyone.
I have often wondered if the âLarry OGâ came from Canada and was named that after âtheâ Larry. I have also wondered if the biker hashplant I seek was actually one of the first OG kushes. I wonder many things but never seem to find the answers LOL

I highly doubt og kush has anything to do with what you are discussing, It wasnât even called og kush when it first became popular in los Angelaâs, it was just called kush and just about everybody agrees itâs origins are in Florida.

Ya I know all the stories and not trying to write a new one.
When the Kush broke onto the scene here in BC , all the regular weed dealers were slinging Big Bud, Juicy Fruit, Champagne and a few others were the staples. That was the late 90âs and to be honest, weed very rarely was sold with a name on it. It was either good or it wasn;t
.At the same time, I was growing NL5, Blueberry, biker hashplant and a wide array of seed from the emery seed catalog. Then the Kush came along and it wasnt called OG kush either it was just called Kush. The Biker hashplant was the most sought after of the stuff that came out of my garden and it was leagues ahead of any other cut in the BC scene at that time, including the Kush. I make no claims to anything⌠but I wonder about many things

I myself think that the organized crime element in cannabis isnât really recognized on the forum scene and is left out of many discussions on cannabis. These groups were hugely instrumental in setting the modern climate and scenes across north america. But because of the nature of these groups, you arenât going to have a poster come on this site and say âhey check out my massive multi million dollar Hellâs angels grow!â the rules on detailing and documenting criminal acts is probably day 2 after how to look cool in leather.
We are left with people like you @SHSC-1 who knew a guy who knew a guy. Or people who were relatively small time individuals and not part of a larger group or anything. As a amateur historian myself, you can see why details are lacking or altogether not present in many dialogues, but boy does it suck.
Direwolf.Og is a old school canadian commercial market guy who has been around since the 90s and he has a few podcast eps on potcast and breeders syndicate that are great looks into the canadian scene. For instance he talks about how a california broker supposedly brought up the first purple kush clone from LA and says it was a cross of something i canât remember. but basically just a commercial kush hybrid that wasnât even purple.
Overall, I think Canada followed American and Dutch strain trends and while we have a few Canadian classics, they almost all came from the states or holland if you go back far enough.
Anyway, kootenaycraftcannabis_ got back to me on a few questions i had about the mighty mite. Again it is a damn shame how little documentation there is and one doesnât want to ask too many questions because I donât want to offend or pry tooo much into the past. even though I wish I could interrogate the guy and his father and get every single detail out of them.
the seeds are from 3 years ago and consisted of 2 of the best males on 4 of the best looking females. He says he doesnât remember what has gone into the original mighty mite strain he had, over the years they were adding random quick finishers onto the original genetics and he doesnât recall what percent pure they were, but he saw classic phenos in his last few runs and one just needed to work with a large enough population to lock down the classic mm phenos again.
Anyone else have any ideas for questions to ask of him while we are talking?
- I was going to ask why the term Himalayan got assigned to mighty mite when it seems to be an unknown californian strain that had autoflower tendencies that were isolated.
- Was also going to ask if he had any classic photos or documentation.
- was going to ask if he knew of how the strain spread around bc and if he recalls any seed companies or groups around him that used it a lot
and the cali skunk was as i expected, an unknown skunk from cali that was a good outdoor strain
Still looking for someone interested in doing a large outdoor grow. Otherwise these seeds will need to go to the freezer till next summer

I just want that Biker hashplant back LOL
In all the grows I saw it in and on all the clone tags it was just labelled HP for hashplant.
This was not a yielding commercial plant but it was held for itâs high end smoke.
Itâs the one plant I quest for next to the original UBC chemo.

@DougDawson The run for the UBC chemo was done by a member called UBCchemo which was not a co op but a donation to the site for funds, then the following year someone did another run of them, but again I donât think it was a co op, I will check my records for you to see if I can find who did it.

Thanks @Shadey but I figured this out. You had sent me some seeds in a bag that was labeled UBCChemo. The baggies were labeled OHB F3. I found that they were Oregon Huckleberry. They were F3âs created by @ubcchemo from F2âs made by @Mongobongo. You did send me some UBCChemo created by @Barefrog at the same time.

Yeah his name always confused me with the seeds that were in the bag
