No matter what it is, its still a beautiful well selected c5 cutting. Held with love and dedication by Jahnova for a long long time. From pictures I think it looks like the same cutting OJD got from uk growers who say it was sourced in cutting form from nevil during seedbank days. If it is the same cutting it would/could be one that predates the mango haze mom but from same stock. Looks lovely anyway and well done Jahnova for managing to keep it safe and what looks like very very healthy too. Hopefully you will enjoy it for many many more years to come.
I hate to start trouble ( as im known for that these days
but i find it hard not to speak my mind) but what was sold in dampkring as C5 is defo not the famous C5 that was grown and sold in dam by Nevil after he moved to dam away from breda crew.
This cut im talking about was similar but without that amo twang ( not saying its amo) but there is this similar thing i dont like on the amo thats on this so called other c5, i call it bleach , you find it on Amnesia and other SSH cuts.
Its a hard story to unravel for sure but what ive thought/worked out ( only my opinion from working with Haze for 20 plus years) is either the cut Nevil worked with in dam and was sold all over until he lef around 2001-2 and then the bud disapeared was either C5 x skunk 1 an older selection ( which Nevil was known to have either selected when he moved to dam as he mainly used that or the C5( C5 or C5 sk1) and Nevil Haze for flowers not the other cuts Ag13, HpH etc or its the real C5 , either way this other C5 that goes around now and buds sold in dampkring are either not the famous cut Nevil produced buds for in dam or a different selection.
My SSSDH cut is much closer to what i remember to the workhorse Haze cut Nevil used to flood amsterdam with over the years , that lovely citrus/pine side of Haze but without that sweet bleachy thing thats in this c5 sold in dam and you find in the best am cuts and the 2nd grade SSH cuts that float around europe.
Another thing that led me to this conclusion is the famous G13 Haze Male soma had/found from seed , i did alot of work with that cut and made 100,000's seeds and many combos and the C Haze phenos are similar to the C5 workhorse i talk about that buds was sold all over dam( vended under several names) after leaving greenhouse and sold to greenhouse and vended under different names there to and again none of this bleachy sweet thing in the G13 Haze combos so either the cut Nevil had that buds were sold all through late 90's , early 2000's was either the real C5 or C5 x Sk1 or the new cut is a different selection and or a differnt C5 or C5 x Sk1.
The SSH from yellow paper packets Mr Nice seeds throw out many keepers far better than these bleachy sweet amnesia and SSH phenos you see all over europe these days( i not tried the foil packs of SSH and still have 2 yellow packets in the seed vault waiting for thier time to shine)
Also for the record my Old Haze cut from London is gone , lost in a bust and nobody else has it anymore either, i only have seeds left in hybrid form( not for sale).
I hope to arrange a Haze cup next year and would like to see all these cuts entered and all the old school Haze players enter and even judge also.
These new Nevil selections i have are up there with the best Haze's ive ever seen , especialy the 2 Swiss Thai Nevil cuts and Nevil ( RIP) left the world with alot of new special Haze's to look/work through and im going carry on the work with this last project Nevil made and get those seeds and selections out to more people so they can taste and expirience Nevils last work as its as good as his other world famous Haze's.
Neville Schoenmakers , still the king after all these years , RIP
