Those should be some really exciting strains to breed!

Thanks @dbrn32 I canât wait Iâll have to catch the strawberry kush on another round she matured faster than the other plants. I should be able to get everyone even the autos.

I guess it boils down to opinion. Some might think the pellets dry out to easy, some might like how the soil holds water better. I like leaving them to soak for 24 hours then plant directly into soil, but this time i went with the rapid rooters to change it up. I like how i can see how the roots are looking before i pot them up. @Onlythebest79

Oddball question. Since someone mentioned âback-breedingâ or something. Can you try to get back to an original strain by breeding stuff out? Never even thinking about trying it, just thinking about thinkingâŚ

I think some breeders attempt this. In most cases back-breeding is a way to stablize the genes I think. The âcubedâ breeding technique where you breed a plant with itself a couple of times to solidify its genetics or something. Iâm new to the breeding thing. 
But to answer your question, I wonder if you searched for âColombian Goldâ what youâd find. I know you can find a strain that is supposedly â1972 Colombian Goldâ, for example.
Other breeders have recreated strains that they lost - I believe Cindy 99 is one of these strains.

EXACTLY!!!
In high school a loooooooong time ago, there was some skunk going around that was as good/better that anything I have found since. Smell, sticky, potent, home run. I bought the super-skunk strain from ILGM to see if itâs close. This was the weed that is my âpinnacleâ. The one memorable batch that everything else tries to stack up to.
If you get my meaning.

Skunk is a great example of a strain that breeders have recreated - or at least tried to. I have never smoked it so I canât really tell you, but considering how many âoriginalâ skunk strains out there, youâd probably need to do some research to find the best ones to try. I think CK has a regular skunk seed thatâs exactly like I mentioned above - a hybrid recreation of the 70s strain. Might be worth checking out!

Duuuuude! This was amazing stuff! I bought a quarter-bag - that was one bud. This was in the late 70âs. It had 2 seeds and one sprouted. I planted it by a stream with good sunshine, and did nothing because there was no internet and I didnât know better.
I harvested one bud - the size of a nerf football, and it lasted the whole summer between my junior and senior year. I was very popular.

That is one frosty bud. Do you like harvesting early with little or no amber or later with 10-20% amber.

I usually like later but with this strain I like to do it a little earlier because itâs a great day time indica when you harvest early. @MAXHeadRoom

Most of my indica strains just make me sleepy, but I am a lightweight lol. I usually harvest at less than 10%. I bought some sativa to grow just so I could have something to smokeduring the day and not fall asleep. I bought the sativa mix pack from ILGM. This will be my next grow.

If you harvest early with strawberry kush at least ilgm strain itâs really mellow and doesnât make you sleepy itâs very relaxing but also mind opening. Great daytime smoke, when harvested late itâs not a strong snoozer but you definitely wonât be motivated to do anything but relax and laugh. Also it can have effect on your libido but that varies from person to person and I mean positive effects if you know what I mean. @MAXHeadRoom
