You are completely wrong about silver haze. That variety is a 4-way pure Sativa cross from original landrace genetics that takes over 100 days to finish. If So-and-So sells a plant called "Silver Haze" that is actually a cross THAT IS WRONG. I don't care who sells it, if it's "Mr. Nice" he needs to label his strain something else, because IT IS NOT REALLY SILVER HAZE. So, F-U Mr. Nice, if you're selling a some Haze cross and calling it Silver Haze. You are wrong, and you should know better!!!
Also, GreenHouse's Silver Haze is called "SUPER Silver Haze", and it takes 10-12 weeks, not 8!!! They don't call it "Silver Haze" and describe it truthfully as a cross, a hybrid that was made to preserve as much original silver haze while reducing flowering time and increasing yield. Do you know HOW I know this? I went to Amsterdam and bought Super Silver Haze Seeds and grew them myself.
You are also absolutely, and completely wrong about Skunk #1 too. The plant you describe is what made it to Amsterdam, It IS NOT THE ORIGINAL SKUNK #1. Anyone who is old enough and has a little bit of experience would know this.
Anyway, it's great you have a cloning business, but really aren't educated about mj genetics. Maybe you are part of the problem of why our seeds and genetics are in such a sorry state. I hope you never breed.
The breeder who currently works with mr nice seeds is shanti baba, whom is partly responsible for many great genetics, including almost all of greenhouses cannabis cup winning varieties including super silver haze, Shanti Baba was one of the founders of greenhouse in fact. So I do believe MR Nice probably does know what's going on with most of their strains, being that the other part of mr nice is howard marks who was the most infamous hashish smuggler of all time... Plus I do believe finishing times vary depending on which year you got the ssh, and it varies from pheno to pheno, seedbank to seedbank. The same goes for the original skunk there were more than one phenotype of the skunk #1(originally) it has only been in recent times I'm starting to see more uniformity in the skunk and unfortunately it's not the old school roadkill skunk it's a much more sweet smell..JMHO:rastasmoke:

So djore113, maybe I am not as uneducated as you think, there were plenty of hybrid skunks that had the skunk smell back in the day, maybe you were smoking something else.
This is all true (except there is a skunk-spray smelling variation of the same genetics), and proves you are a savvy google user, but it's not relevant to the point I was trying to make, which is that everyone thinks it's fine to misname everything... you can't take for granted anything is what they say it is, and even good dispensaries are guilty of perpetuating this habit. The motivation behind it is greed, pride, who knows what else... You don't have to tell people, "Hey, look at my Silver Haze" when you really have an unknown hybrid that happens to have that Haze smell. This does not make it Silver Haze, and it's not ok to misrepresent your product as that strain.
funkfingers, I never called into question Mr Nice besides taking what Klonz said at face value. I actually looked it up, and Klonz was wrong, Mr Nice does not sell Silver Haze, they sell SUPER Silver Haze, with this description:
A champion of champions since winning its hat-trick at the 1997, 1998, and 1999 High Times Cannabis Cups and comprising of the most commercial strains known to the uncivilized world: Skunk, NL and Haze. Such achievements confer an undoubtedly regal pedigree. It has an excellent breed for those who wish to possess the stash of stashes and leaves one gasping for reality. This complex hybrid is in the cutting edge in practical Haze hybrids, designed to astound the grower and consumer alike. Recommendation is unnecessary as most people can not see the Haze for their daze.
Notice they tell the buyer what hybrid they are actually buying, and not calling it pure silver haze. Seems fine to me.

Sorry to disappoint you dorje113 I am not wrong yet again, the seeds I brought back in 2001 were Mr. Nice Silver Haze, you may confirm this in the original big book of buds. what he is selling now .......have not checked really got more important things to do.
I apologize if I got under your skin for some reason, but I took your attacks against my chacter personal. You have no clue who I am or my knowledge of cannabis or my skills in the field of the same, I got your point a long time ago and I agree, it is wrong but oh well, times change and so do genetics and generations, but I can assure you I am not part of a problem, I know my genetics and my cannabis history. Peace:pimp:

Maybe someone called 'em out on it and now they call it SUPER Silver Haze ;). Anyway, they aren't selling Silver Haze anymore, and if they did sell SSH as SH then they deserve some $hit for it.
Your 1st post to me "Educate, Don't Discriminate" and that I'm "shitting on someone else's glory" was pretty rude so I'm not sure what you expected. I told the guy he didn't actually have Silver Haze, and explained why. The bud was nicely grown, was probably SSH, and I still bought a little bit because it was really good bud despite it not really being what was claimed. It's not like I lectured the guy for an hour or was an a$$hole, that's just what you assumed.
