True Origins of strains and misconceptions.....

Yes and kings bread is when a plant has been rev-egged and then harvested from a second time… a lot of seed companies were putting strains out around that time and using terms for strain names makes things hard to sort out, example nevils Hindu Kush was not Hindu Kush … so on and so on.
@GoatCanna Extremely dark strain were not that common during that time , I’d be researching the original (the black) strain I think came out of Texas , Kandahar, Vietnamese black and perhaps the history of the Jamaican governments role in large scale cannabis exportation during those times. A lot of the Jamaican cannabis came from other parts of South American. Basically just because the square groupers came from Jamaican boats it was not necessarily Jamaican landrace weed. It’s very possible you are looking for cabeca de negro, it’s very dark, very sativa , greasy was and is still grown in large amounts. There was also some weed church with ties to Florida and all kinds of genetics were already traveling to different gardens at that point.
Most landrace cannabis in Jamaica is of Indian origin with some African genetics also that came over in the 1800s.
Cannabis is not imported here in the way or amounts it used to be and the 18+ week sativa are very rare to get your hands on now especially grown correctly or even more rare from the there native soils. Also some cultures dry cannabis in odd ways that results in darker color, one way that comes to mind is the way Malawi gold is traditionally wrapped , there fermenting the plant material to some degree.
