when i got home (texas) from the navy in summer 82 there was a light green, lots of red hairs, big bud and piney smelling smoke everywhere. it was a good tasting and good high smoke that i haven't seen in years. can anybody remember this strain? we always called it christmas tree bud. it had to be coming in from mexico, but don't know for sure, but everybody had it, it sold for 35.00 a oz..

Not at that price, and Panama red was darker than OP describes.

$35 was standard price for Mexican in 82', then the Reagan's fucked it all up.

Was it seeded?. We used Christmas tree more as a description for un-seeded domestic back then, much of which was grown in Kentucky/WV area.

They had weed back then ?

I remember the x-mas bud. I think it was a close relative of the original northern lights. That one and the Real Skunk weed are long gone.

It was a skunk out of Jamaica. Was hard to get here because of the smell.

I remember years ago paying $85 for a 1/4 and freaking out at the price until I saw it!! It was called Xmas bud.but in my part of the world we called any green seedless bud Xmas bud back then..my youth was buying a bag,then sitting down to de-stem/seed mex brick weed...

Original Northern Lights? What dose that mean? I have some Northern Lights (and it has a pine smell). Is there a different Northern Lights?

i tend to agree, it does look a lot like northern lights, but i thought northern lights came in the late 80's to early 90's.

when i went to jamaica it wasn't no skunk, it was a dark green and would knock your socks off.

Early 80's is what I am thinking. I have had what people call NL but it is nothing like what I remember. I remember a very airy pure sativa. It grew like 15 feet tall and smelled like Xmas.

Mmmmmmm skunk

 

[giggywatts]

the more i think about it the plants i grew from this stuff were tall, maybe 8' to 9' on most with a pretty good yield.
