Nice. I was completely blind to its lineage.
Damn, @Instg8ter ive been following this thread since you started it, and it always sounded super cool. But now, with @MotherTeresa having a possible hookup to an original cut… you may have found your unicorn.
I hope this works out for you, cause it would be an awesome ending to an already cool story!
That’s the best I can do as I have these in safe keeping for when I do get around to growing them.
But luckily they still have some!!!
Hope this helps my friend!
I was just listening to the Potcast episode with Bob Hemphill. On it he says he has a Monkey Paw cut (around an hour and a half into the interview). He says the lineage is Viet Black and Nepalese Highland.
Never had it, just passing along his take
Yes I have heard that too and often wondered, I believe it was held and grown locally by a Vietnam vet that was also in a MC . Always thought it was in Thai /SEA family too. That’s the thing Monkey Paw is the Kaiser Sousa of marijuana , stories and local folklore abound but I can say the one thing I started with. Almost every person I talk to that has smoked the real deal of the 70-90’s puts it in their top 5.
If you get a line on a cut, let me know and I’ll pitch in!
I grabbed some of Franchise’s Vietnamese Black x Napalese Highland F2 in hopes of finding the Monkey Paw in them!
Let me know if you would like to trader for a few…
Sadly, I only have a 1/2 pack of them. For years, I typically would split all my many packs with a couple of friends. So for most of my older collection I only have 1/2 packs.
When it gets time to do an F3, if I don’t get all five to germinate, I bet they still have them in their collection, and would share back for the preservation.
Radio Ridge Nursery had the Monkey Paw a couple years back (should have grabbed it). I emailed them to see if they still have it.
I bet they don’t though as they are always rotating through the latest strains.
@Growtogrow if this accident occured with your Columbian would those be hermied seeds and if it were then those would be female seeds.
Would you like the brutal paws all done in sog or to grow larger? I have a corner in veg tent to veg or can throw a tray in flower tent.
They are yours brother do whatever your comfortable with…
TNF Uncle Festers is some rank shit wow this should be a nice cross.

Banger of a first post. Welcome aboard
OOOh, i have some LT and will be doing them sooner than later. I want to wait til I can run only them and try to get some seed.
I still haven’t smoked it yet. A friend from Europe gifted them to me. What’s you opinion on the Lemon Thai? I’ve heard good things but it’s been a while. peace
