What's your local legendary strain of old?

Post by Cave Hill Cole »

Greetings all,

I'm a bit of a weed history nerd and love hearing about the different legendary strains from the past. Anyways I thought I would start a post to hear everyone's stories...if your interested in sharing. So what's the legendary local strain from your spot

Here's one from my neck of the woods. The "Te Puke Thunder". I had always been told it was brought over from Thailand in the 70s, grown in the Coromandel hills and had become a heirloom adjusted to NZ climate...but who knows, I reckon it was probably just a sweet name that stuck. Here's a helpful little video about a local dude looking for it. To be honest I reckon its long gone, but the doco is fun, a bit of kiwi weed culture

I'm pretty boring but my all time favourite back in the day was Euphoria by Dutch Passion. It was a great all-rounder with bumper harvest of stinky skunk-weed :) Kept that for about 4 years until life got in the way and Iost the strain.

I've tried to find a similar pheno a few times but could never find another one to match my original Euphoria. Absolute legend :)

Round my way it was Blues aka the "Livers cutt" it was all that was grown for years round here. My fave that i grew for many years back then was the Jack Herer by Sensi Seeds. Best tasting strain i tried way back was the NYC Diesel twas a real melon like stink and lush tasting bud.

Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.

Used to watch a Kiwi show called Back of the Y. Nut jobs :lol: They were always mentioning Te Puke Thunder.
Has anyone managed to track any down yet?
I'm going to dig out the BOTY and Randy Campbell DVDs.
