I grew commercially in Santa Cruz for a good while. Knew tons of folks running that BD, but be super careful. All the ones I see people trying to sell online look fake as shit. Its that knockoff BD they grew way too much of in Humboldt. Itll get 10 lbs plants no problem. But the smoke is pretty bad. Most of those badass old clones folks used to crop are gone. Ive seen breeders like āsanta cruz goat farmā based in Okhlahoma claim to have it. But even that one sure doesnt look like the real thing to me. Could just be old and dudded to crap too. As someone who got to grow a lot of those āelitesā as theyāre called now, it seems like the vast majority are totally gone. And folks are just scamming like crazy to folks who dont know what the real thing would be.

Im glad you mentioned SCGF because i figured they were based on NorCal and for some reason i thought they were the original breeders of BD
Nothing against OK breeders, some of them are off the hook. But with the name Santa Cruz Goat Farm i figured they would be in santa cruz lol

they sure act like they were lol. Even years ago, noone seemed to know exactly who bred BD. Other than it was a SSH x sativa leaning blueberry selection. Seems like taking credit for old popular cuts seems to be the popular trend among breeders nowadays. Real bummer to see.
Also should note for clarity sake. Santa Cruz is central coast, not technically Norcal. More like mid-cal lol. I only mention because the scenes were VASTLY different. Ive known plenty of Norcal growers, but it really was kinda 2 different worlds. The real estate in that area was a lot more expensive and the spots were a lot more limited. But the climate was just perfect for growing in greenhouses. So a lot of world-class growers were making big moves in that area.
Kinda like how āHumboldt Seed Coā is doing most of itās work in OK or MN lol. Its really shameful the places that made so much cannabis so famous have just become a marketing tag to make growers think theyre getting āreal old school geneticsā. But unfortunately thats just the modern market. Because I can say with a good bit of confidence noone was growing autoflowers back then, yet thatās almost all they seem to be selling nowadays lol

This is exactly why Iām skeptical for some, they claim to have a legit cut but with many you have to take their word for it. Come harvest time you have nothing like the real BD, just some washed out hybrid that with that mehhh smoke.
Many are getting off the hype train now too and realizing they miss the old smoke, only to find that you canāt get it anymore without it being crossed to hell

How much of the breeders migrating to OK or MN do you reckon is from the taxes on business in CA? Do they gouge breeders like they do dispensaries etc?

Very possible! The licenses in this state are outrageous. Its in the millions before you can open shop, and it HAS to be banked investor cash. No ātraditional marketā cash allowed. Vs other states an indie operator can actually stay indie and do the work. But it seems like theyre intentionally making it harder everywhere. Corporations are trying to make sure they have an iron grip on every aspect of the market, and they all seem to already be trying to take over it. Like those awful cookies seeds, or mike tyson with RQS lol.
Which is another thing that I find really hilarious and shady. Brands like 2020mendo and Humboldt Seed Co acting like these little mom and pop operations. When in reality its just astro-turfing using some no name grower pretending to be some norcal grow legend as a front for acres of corporate greenhouses. DNA/Crockett did the same model. Got mountains of investor cash. Had multiple total crop failures. Then magically started huge ābreeding programsā aka just open pollinating acres of random plants. 10k plant pheno hunt really means 10k plants getting seeded out lol. They just try to keep all those skeletons in the closet.
