I have a question some of you may be able to answer. There has been a strain that is a local legend in my area since around 1978. It was hands down the best smoke I've ever had. Very hashy taste and you have to use caution when smoking it. I have many stories of people passing out after a couple of hits from it. I was able to acquire it back around 2001, and after I had it a few years, it seemed to lose its taste and potency. So I let it go, hoping to some day acquire another cutting of it. Well, that finally has happened, but I'm finding that the original owners of the strain must have had the same luck that I had. It just doesn't taste the same, or have the kick it had.
My question is, would the genetics still be there if I were to try breeding this plant to try to reproduce it? I'm not sure what I would use for a male, but I feel my best bet would be to start with a Mr. Nice product. I've grown almost everything Shantibaba had back around 2001 - 2005, and my first thought would be to try Shit, since that was really my favorite strain, and is very old school. Any help anyone might have with this would be greatly appreciated.
