Do some of y’all miss out on strains that don’t seem available anymore?

I was looking for Mandarin Kush from ethos and it just seems to be gone… I’m popping some Pennywise seeds now but I couldn’t get the original by TGA genetics. Kind of a bummer when you’re looking for something specific and it’s gone 💔
 
yeah man. i think a lot of us have lists of old genetics we wish we could get a hold of again. my short list is:

Matanuska Thunderfuck (likely still around, i just haven't dug into it too heavily)
Grapefruit (pretty sure this was a pheno of C99)
Catpiss (pretty sure this was a pheno of super silver haze)
Trainwreck - Arcata cut
Blue Moon Rocks (have found incredibly limited info on this one)

and sometimes, genetics just get tired over the decades. That's kind of the case with Chem 91. it's been around so long and cloned so many times, it's just losing all its vigor and viability for continued propagation. Sooner than later it'll too be lost to the sands of time.
 
Quite a few I'd like for sure

Even some that aren't as old are nearly impossible to find, platinum cookies comes to mind
 
I know I have seeds for the Ethos Mandarin Sunset, which I gave a couple to a friend. He loved it so much he went to buy more, and like what you said, they were all gone, retired I guess. Glad I still have a few of these.
 
I’d love to get my hands on Colorado flo, but I can’t ever find any seeds. Same with ghost train.

Seems like a lot of my favorite sativa/sativa dominate hybrid strains over the years have disappeared over the years.

Agreed. I've been trying to find a strain called Pave` by Compound Genetics. They have a lot of crosses with that strain as a parent but I can't find the original anywhere.

Have you tried contacting them? They may not have a ton available and may not want to list them in their shop. Worth a shot at least.
 
Good idea, had not thought of that. Gonna give it a shot! 👊
I just happened to look it up and what I saw referenced it as a 2022 strain so chances are better than it being a 2012 strain I'd say.

I got banned from fb group activity for telling this guy who is an mma fighter "I'll kick your ass easy 😆" fb can't take a joke. Once that is over hopefully I can remember but I got a guy on there who is pretty connected and always down to help...I'll ask him for ya....I'd say 50% or greater chance he knows somewhere or one holding it
 
Got a canned response from Compound, asked them to answer the questions I already asked because they said if I had any questions just ask. lol. I think this will be a dead end, but ya never know!

Anyhow, Surprisingly, I did find this.


It's not the original but most likely better at an S1 crossed to itself. I would take this!

Wondering if anyone has ever used this seed bank out of California? A lot of $ to throw down for a company I have never done business with.

I have never dealt with them, but that price is accurate for anything from Compound.
North Atlantic Seed Company has a few crosses with Pavé but no S1 seeds.
 
I agree. I might have to take a chance here.
I did a bit of research on that Universal Seed Bank and found a thread on trollitup claiming ripoff. I pretty much believe the story. I cannot find that strain anywhere else and yet this guy has 4 packs? I'm betting that is a scam and not willing to take the chance.

I saw a couple other sites offer it raw genetics being one. Idk about their credibility but it's an s1 as well

Some of the best "buds" ive smoked, smooth tasteful hits, great appearance.

Few off the top of my head, old ones
 
Was just thinking about ogre kush the other day haven't seen it in ages. Yumboldt, afgoo, blue magoo, plain old Colorado cough

Haven't seen purple kush in a while, met a guy who may have sr71...seeing is believing tho
 
I did reach out to Compound Genetics, will let y'all know what I hear.
This ended up being a dead end. Not sure these will ever be available again but they are making many crosses, including the Rose Gold Pave`.

Ended up pulling the trigger on this one-


Pave` is the mother, Apples and Bananas the father, and a favorite of mine.

Another cool thing about this purchase is the Compound Genetics freebie on the order, 3 seeds of Stay Puft, which sounds like a great cross between the Marshmallow OG mom and the Grape Gas daddy, another favorite strain of mine.


Will be running one of these when the Panama sativa finishes in a couple of weeks.

Rose Gold Pave sounds like its gonna be delicious.
Stay Puft sounds like it could be something special, its sold out on nasc too so seems you got lucky! Lol.

I also forgot to mention that this is going to be a good time for the inaugural run in the Bud Builders vertical seed germinator. Looking forward to using this fine piece of equipment soon!IMG_3562.jpeg
