I'm hesitant to dive into this thread, as I have very strong feelings about this subject. For those interested in the real history of Romulan, this is from the BCGA website from the late '90s:
"Romulan is Grower 1's primary herb. He got it when a friend asked him to baby-sit a sick mother plant. For his troubles, he took a couple of cuttings. When this was found out he was made to promise that he would never give a clone to anyone. Sorry guys. The romulan name was adopted after visiting HBC in the summer of 97 with some bud. All the regulars, including Marc Emery, identified it as romulan just from the smell. Very unique odor. After inspecting and smoking the bud it was confirmed that it was definitely what they called romulan and was grown on Vancouver Island by Romulan Joe. Currently Romulan Joe supplies Marc Emery with hybrid (Romulan White Widow) seeds.
Romulan is a large plant that is not suitable for SOG applications. It is grown by small scale comercial growers on lower Vancouver Island. Standard setup is 25 plants in a 10 by 10 room under 3000w on a suncircle. It likes to get 3 to 4 feet tall and about 3 to 4 feet wide and is usually grown in 10 gal pots containing the Super Soil Mix. Flowering takes 10 weeks. Each plant produces 4 - 8 oz depending on conditions indoors but has been known to produce more than 1 pound in a greenhouse. Bud is said to be about 3/4 sativa in character and has a very pleasing pine flavour"
Grower#1 was an individual by the name of Vic High, who did more for the development of cannabis in North America than any other single individual, and I'll debate/argue that with _anyone_.
I did a cursory scan of the Romulan Genetics website, and at least they mentioned Vic. Then I read this "...using our clone cut F1 Romulan female (kept alive and in our family since the 90's), crossing it to our male Romulan F4 that we use for breeding here we made our newest version of Romulan with the “BX1”.
That kind of had my Bullshit Detector pegged over in the red. Just like with seeds mysteriously appearing in the freezer after 20 or 30 years, it takes a very special individual to keep a single plant alive that long.
But if you got the seeds, like Shantibaba says, plant 'em and see what happens.
