yeah things are not the same, i even look for the weed from the 80s-90s, when i do find some i pop them grow them out but is not what i remembered they smoke good but not the same, i think our tolerance levels go up with all the smoking through out the years. we find the old school stuff and it smokes good but the high is weaker. i bet that some of the younger kids would love the old stuff as well, perhaps we just have a lot of thc in our bones
Pretty good question. Im a big believer that most of the serious went extinct after cookies entered market. As for stuff to look for, i love running outcross of tom hill, catnip or greatful head gear. Maybe deep chunk or pine tar kush.
I found my smoking experiences felt more like back in the day when I added some CBD into the mix. Seems counterintuitive because it can counteract the potency but it rounded out the high and felt much more like what I remember.
Check out agseedco.com for some old school original strains like Skunk No. 1, Columbian Haze, NL #5 and NL #2 straight from Mel Frank and Sam the Skunkman.
Barney’s farm offers Acapulco gold and some other high THC strains… umm my guess would be try some BOG seeds, or other good genetics like Barney’s farm or Humboldt seeds… there are a few others too.
Star Dawg, Chem-d , pre-98 Bubba , afghani #1 , sensi star, and nl#5 . All of these if you find the right beans are true old school gems that take me back EVERYTIME. Pine tar Kush is another that’s an absolute gem. And karma has the real deal old school Sour Diesel and trust me it’s absolutely AMAZING! HSO has a really good representation of chemdawg that’s true old school. Pre-98 may be harder to find but that’s the gem Imho. Jordan of the islands has a great Sensi star, old school as they come. As well as tons of old school genetics he’s held onto for decades. Dinafem (I know fems) but they have some true old school gems. They are getting harder and harder and harder to locate but thanks to the efforts of groups like OG and many growers/breeders into genetic preservation are in the process of locating and preserving the REAL OLD SCHOOL GEMS
I prefer fems bro. Im UK so every inch of my tents needs to hold bud. People talk about fems being bad blah blah but to be 100% honest I’ve found that regs Hermie more. I’ve only had 1 fem plant throw balls compared to around 10+ reg plants I’ve grown over the years.
I’m looking for original arcata trainwreck, gooey, romulan, cat.piss, shiva skunk, jager, jack herer, ssh, all those old school funks… hard to find In this cookie cutter dessert fad bullshit era of no nose pretty indoor strains…
It’s a tough one bud. Back in the day we really didn’t smoke weed, it was the bottom of the food chain. Hash was king which was way more potent. Now all these years later I smoke weed but it has gotten way better. Also for years disgusting morons were cutting hash turning that golden goodness into repress. Another issue is I am not that person any more, decades of smoking has created tolerances I didn’t have back then. I would bet finding a perfectly preserved bag of what I once thought was great stuff back than would be pretty boring now. Good luck on your hunt though, hopefully you find that strain that just works really well for you.
I’ve got beans from late 70s unlabeled with a 80 percent germ rate. They grow short and lengthy indica leaners, picked up on a farm in ea wa. Been in cold storage. A few users here have grown them. Out. One reported leathery smoke, another hamburger pheno.
Indeed. Prohibition driving underground growers to breed towards high THC years ago, started messing with the good genetics quite a bit. There have been some tests done that show some of the old school strains and hash having closer to a 1:1 CBD:THC ratio on some instances. Sucks that it took so long for things to come back around.
