No info on the Blue Lotus but he told me several times that the pheno of White Lotus he found was his best plant and he loved crossing it. This was before he started the seed company and he was prolific in trading and giving away seeds back then

That’s where the large majority of my useful stuff came from. Long before Useful seeds was a thing, I met him through my very close friend Lester who was one of his longtime friends/associates. He would just randomly send stuff, huge packs sometimes that we would keep some and dole out to our respective crews and circles. I’ve been thinking hard on what to repro in his honour as Lester is doing Fire OG, I’m going to attempt to reverse one of my very few last remaining BOO (bag of oranges) strain and make them available to my fellow members.

Yes!! BOO is one of the great Useful strains that I wasn’t able to get my hands on. Everyone talks about how good BOO or DDS is.

Worth mentioning that Useful sold a lot of pollen from his vault back in late 2020 on IG auctions, I missed out on buying that stuff because I wasn’t committed yet to the seed game but there’s a lot of pollen out there from his Dads, I think @dinopartychucks uses it or a Dad cut of BOO:

BOO is amazing, I have like 4/5/6 beans left, I’ll have to check but I’ll gladly create some more of this absolute gem in his honour for my OG brothers and sisters. I was always skeptical of orange stuff, hated it tbh. Until BOO was grown, even outdoor it was absolutely stellar. I even have some BOO X MM (mothers milk) we made a while back attempting to make orange milk just never grew many out as we got maybe 100 beans in total

You are correct. I was able to get some Fem CD pollen from him. I hit up a few branches of some stuff I was working with and have a small handful of beans. Not enough to distribute but enough for me to hand out a couple beans to some friends that don’t want males.

I knew that some of those auction winners must be in here! It just makes me sad that I didn’t appreciate the opportunity at the time, he was doing some great flash sales like $100/four packs or something, just a generous guy obviously and not greedy about his genetics. He’d probably be happy to see everyone making sure that they’re gonna be out there free for everyone to enjoy.

A bunch of those auctions for pollen never had a winner because he had a reserve that wasn’t met.

That Booba sounds pretty good. Hope that one comes back in stock.
Does anyone know if he ever crossed Genius Thai with BOO? I’d love to find that if it exists

Booba does look really good!
There’s a cross of it with Black Light Bubba on sale at GLG, but that’s getting not very orangey at that point. Sounds delicious though! That armpit sweat citrus he describes from the BOO is one of my favorite sativa terp profiles:

I’m not a Useful expert, but I haven’t seen Boo x GTE
I just finished running/also currently running GTE x Chocolate Trip. And I also have a half pack of Sour Princess x GTE.

What… how am I now just hearing about this… the first few grows I did were his stuff. Everything his chocolate Diesel touched turned to fire…

Im sure the dudes seeds are absolutely badass super dank shit. Probably never made a dollar in his life. It’s always the broke artist guys that die that have the best stuff in every aspect of life.Give away every cent and piece of clothing they have to help people. We never respect the man until he is dead it seems. Que Sera, Sera
Im growing and testing all the useful seeds I can get my oily resin caked paws on to keep the mans life work alive

I have a shit load of his packs i bought off him a few years ago. Dream beaver f2s and a bunch of crosses with it. His black lime reserve work. Among others. He was always a really generous guy. Donating packs and what not. Hope he is resting well.
