Has anyone memorialized a loved one by creating a strain in their honor? My wife passed away two Sundays ago after a short but aggressive battle with cancer and I am going to create a stain in her honor. She has a very unique name that very few if any have; her name was created by combining her fathers first name with her mothers middle name. The stain will be a combination of her favorite weed crossed with one which the name captures her spiritual essence. I hope to employ the help of family and friends to speed up stabilization and knock it down to 3-4 phenotypes. My hopes that someday it will be enjoyed and shared by the masses.

Thank you all for your, prayers, condolences, and support; it’s very comforting.
After thinking about it more I started to wonder about the legality and/or ethical issues using existing strains to create one to honor my wife. I don’t seek monetary gain just a way for her name to live on.
She wasn’t a big smoker but she really liked Bubba Kush and sent me on a few quests to obtain it. The other strain is a free-bee tester from Hazeman “Dream Catcher”. I got two five packs of them from an order through DCSE. I can’t explain it in words other than her love for Dream Catchers but it’s more than that, it just feels fitting.
I have a “Dream Catcher” outside getting ready to flower and have taken clones. I don’t have any Bubba yet but hope to get a few reg. seeds soon from a nephew. I’m thinking of starting with a Bubba male and pollinating the Dream Catcher clones. But I wonder if it would be better to pollinate the Indica dom. with the sativa dom. I don’t really know what I want out of the strain except some kick ass weed that make people smile.

i am sorry to hear about your loss,
yes i have created a strain i call Monica kush, (g13hp x California orange)
her name was Monica , she loved weed, and she died by suicide when i was 15. over 30 years later i come up with the strain, @kushdaddy on here grew it out for over a year and loved it.
i think it is a great way to remember a loved one, esp. if that loved one loved cannabis
if you need any help please just ask
