Dr Greenthumbs G13

Well I think perhaps Double D misrepresented it to Greenthumb. Greenthumb got into trouble precisely because he credited Double D with saving the original G13 since the 1980s and isn't that the spin that Double D himself put on it?

Dr. Greenthumb got called out on his G13 before he even attached DD's name to it, it was one of the reasons he put DD's name on his website in the first place. It just happened that DD was around to say Greenthumb was lying when he did it. Look at the first post in this thread, there is no mention of DD or Nevil.

He may have been called out on his pricing but as far as i know he put the DD label on it only because people asked which cut it was.
Was just re-reading this thread started by Double D;
http://www.thcfarmer.com/forums/f69/dr-greenthums-g13-need-members-help-please-32280/
and it seems apparent that Double D sold something to Doc through a middle man. Now, it seems to me that either Double D sold Greenthumb the "G13" and was trying to cover up the fact that he let the cut out and now Greenthumb unexpectedly had seeds of it or;
Double D ripped Doc off
...BUT...
the plant Double D sold to Doc looks exactly like all the huge "G13" grows from journals that DD himself has done and all the "G13" from Docs seeds that are being journaled right now look exactly like DD's "G13" as well. Double D has some 'splainin' to do

DD isn't the one who continues to sell a misrepresented strain for $100 a seed. Also, that thread doesn't mention anything about DD selling anything through a middle man. I think you're just trying to justify Greenthumb dragging DD into this.
I think I knew my own intentions when I started this thread and the truth is Greenthumb used DD's name to try and legitimize his strain and was only attached to the strain description after the fact. His spammers even mentioned DD's name before he attached it to the description on his website to see how people would respond.

I know you must have seen this, this is exactly what I've been telling you guys for a while. At first, he said no he has no clone from me but then it was well looks like he really did buy a clone of my plant but it's not the original. Greenthumb wasn't lying and even if it is a nl/g13 cross, the Doc was likely mislead into believing it was pure and still may be, so that doesn't make him dishonest or a liar only uninformed. I'm sure that he closely examined the strain which he obtained before he purchased it and was confident enough that it was similar enough to be the cut he was after, and look at it it, just look at it and those are seeds not clones. If I gave you a clone of something in my garden and it was mislabeled or wasn't really what it was and you gave the clone to someone else as what I said it was, that wouldn't make you a liar either.
In that thread dd also mentions that the g13 lost vigor but it is restored in crosses so even if it's a a hybrid, in dd's on words it will be superior in potency to the original clone. He also mentions the fact that he is not a breeder and cannot meet the demand of making seeds other than his own personal projects so either way you look at it, the doc's doing a service by making them available.

This doesn't explain at all how the almighty Dr. Greenthumb failed to realize that the description he posted, which he calls "fruity" is the complete opposite of what the original was described as. Either he's an idiot or he's lying

Or DD is lying and it's not the original g13 from neville? Whatever it is, call it what you want, it is from DD by his own admission.
For the record, the dope's smell description wasn't like he claimed either, it tasted more like the description of bot of the parents. I think he's an old fart and probably losing is senses or something. And no I'm not claiming he misrepresented the strain and that it is a ripoff, I'm saying that I personally disagreed with his description. This is the 3rd round of growing my mikado clone and only recently did I pick up the fruity smells that were more subtle, being a cigarette smoker probably doesn't help either.

Maybe it still exists in Michigan?

That seems to be a much more accurate description of G13

I like how you left out the begining of the statement that says Greenthumb got it from a third party and DD had nothing to do with it. DD can't be held responsible for another persons actions.
It's Greenthumb's responsibility to research his strains before he try's to pawn them off to the masses as something they aren't.
Again, if Greenthumb said it was an S1 of a cross there would be no problem and it would probably make the sticker price laughable.

Ive found that Doc's descriptions are very general as far as taste and smell go. The flavors he mentions are in there but there is usually alot more going on to my taste buds. For instance, he lists the big purps as being, "earthy, piney, hashy, thats true but i also taste grape and a few other things in there as well. On my journal at the MMMA site he posted about the Big Purps; "To me it tastes like sweet grapes" confirming the same thing I had found, why he didnt mention that on his site i just dont know.

Besides Dr. Greenthumbs description of G13 being fruity, where else would you go to find something that supports his claim?

I mean everyone but Dr. Greenthumb describes it differently than he does. Is there anyone else that could support his description?

Find another account of some one using that description for G-13, i think that is what he is getting at
