Great thread.
Maui Wowie was bred from a shipment of weed (likely Oaxacan, but possibly a medley) brought back from St Thomas (Michocan) Mexico to the Islands. Bred with Kandahar Afghan that they brought back from their hash lab in Afghanistan. This was 1970, so breeding began - likely - in '71
Cherry Bomb is Maui Wowie that was brought back to Laguna Beach California and bred in California - so, same genetocs, different outcome.
