You have the purps? The original? That originally came fro our garden 23 years ago if it’s the original

the next big business idea in the Cannabis industry is a testing Lab that guarantees to test your material 10% higher than the competition and for $5,000 surcharge guarantees to test your material at over 40%, and for another $5,000 guarantees to test at over 50%
There were some original purps in Tahoe about that time frame. Could only buy it if you knew the family. It was still 400 bucks for an ounce. First amazing weed I ever smoked. Story goes the guy who was growing got connected with snoop after he gave a sample to his group on Reno.

Yep that was ours. There was a point in time we were getting 600 for them.
I had the genetics up until about two years ago Gave it to a place to tissue culture. And I believe they’ve lost it

Classic purple strains have always tested low. I wonder if more anthocyanins inversely react with TAC.

Anthocyanins are produced through the phenylpropanoid pathway. This is one of the metabolic pathways that is the easiest to “control”. Forcing anthocyanin production, outside of what’s already genetically “programmed” will 100% take away from a humans therapeutic effects of the plant. Great for identifying great genetics in feral plants, not the best trait to breed or shoot for.

Halle Berry is the only strain I have found to be an exception, not as purple as Red Hot Cookies, but tests about 34% thca. Unfortunately when I made a cross, the offspring all hermed.

Governmint Oasis (PCG Cut) always tests over 30% when ran to it’s full term

I’m shopping again. Looking at Glitter Bomb, Gazzurple, Block Builder, and Canal Street Runtz.
The Bananaconda cut pictured above is hopefully getting pollinated with Gator Breath right now. I’m sure the offspring won’t test 38%, but I hope they will be healthy and herm-free. A lot of high-testing strains seem to be genetic dead-ends that don’t reproduce well.
I’ve ordered from getseedsherenow and sun clone and been happy with each purchase. It seems like prices have fallen. A lot of sites are $30-$50 for everything. Selection does get repetitive. The days of insane prices for cuts are likely behind us.

I never, ever doctored results – we lost clients but our boss was absolutely adamant about resisting whatever pressure clients tried to apply to us. Many a shouting match ensued.
Besides Ghost Train Haze, I remember Silver Tip being one of the higher ones.

Everything from the clone distribution came back HVLD free?
I haven’t had anything that ever showed any signs of the viroid.
