What Was Your First Strain...?

First strain I tried was in ‘08 and was AK-47. Later that year I did my first grow and was 50/50 in working. Ones that worked great Cookie Monster, Blue Cheese, Black Domina, Granddaddy Purple, Sensi Star CBD. The ones that didn’t work Cinderella 99 clone (spider-mites) GSC (revegged, light leak) and Gorilla Bomb (same as GSC)

afghani #1 sensiseeds, bought from my local headshop in the late 90's (which is still going). Grew one out in my wardrobe at university at the top of a massive four floor house that had been converted into 15 separate bedrooms for students. I didnt even have a timer or fan, just a 400w hps.

I left a few weeks early, and let the other guys water it for the last remaining weeks, i was on the top floor and i remember you could smell it at the front door when i came back after a few weeks to get my gear. It turned out full on menthol and christmas spice, really nice.

My first strain is this one. It's currently growing now.

Royal Dwarf Auto

Jack the Ripper from subcool. One of the best strains I’ve grown

real skunk 1989 northern maine

Dark Devil Auto!!! first grow I ran from breeder seed stock.

Minnesota ditch weed.

Bag seed from schwag, grown outdoors at 17 years old with miracle grow behind a restaurant on Irondequoit Bay, NY. Great yield from 12 plants, big sticky nugs, finished on time, honeslty pretty decent weed from what I remember. That was 27 years ago and have done outdoors ever since.
Had no where to dry it so tried in mom's garage, yeah- that didn't go too well..... stunk up the neighborhood and was told to get it outta the damn house! Sure my step father got a few buds for himself, god bless his soul. He passed at only 47 years old.

White widow × Big bud was the first then I found one 2.5 year old Lemon skunk bean that was fire back in 2008-9.

Skunk #1 x Basic #5. From the Seed Bank, ca. 1989.

I think Basic #5 was renamed NL #5. Don't quote me.

No super sativa seed club sold it as basic5 there skunk x nl5 was called m39 nevils the seed bank never called it basic 5 only sssc did

That's plausible. I had copies of SSSC and the '89 Seed Bank catalog. Couldn't remember which one it came from.

First strain was "Walmart OG", named it myself!

Long story short the seeds were suppose to be Blue Dream ! I was actually shopping for supplies for my grow tent in Walmart when I was approached by a Walmart employee who asked what I was shopping for, I said I am growing some vegetables in my grow room I am looking for a heater !

When he stopped me and told me I was not growing veggies and insisted I was growing weed!

I caved, told him the truth, he quickly turned to me and said do not move I will be right back ( sketching me out definitely ! ) but I stayed and he returned with a small contacts case, give it a shake and you hear two little marbles !

He had brought me two Blue Dream seeds that he has been working on for 30 years with his father, I went with it and popped them in for my first grow !

Grow was amazing, smooth sailing with small deficiency issue and out came Walmart OG. ( The reason I had made up a name and tell this story the way I do is because realistically endless the stuff was tested I really have no way to tell the strain ! )

Thanks for reading
