whoever sold you the rthunderfuck is a lying sack of shit. NO ONE on the entire planet has REAL thunderfuck though there was a breeder stealing it's name for matanuska thunderfuck a few years ago. the real breeder never seeded his buds, never shared a clone and even hoarded his recipe. he may or may not still be in jail. any "big bud" out there isn't the real deal either. the author of cannabible has smoked real BB and says it's much better than the posers.
i would think that if anyone can at least get hold of some bitchin' parents to start with, it would be ed. he's been in the biz since the 80s and has networked with maybe hundreds of growers. he has plenty of book knowledge too so at the very least, he has all of the potential to breed something real even if he does it in a well ventilated tutu. LOL funny ass shit there curly!
+REP to the malawi breeder! not too many people are even testing it, much less breeding with it. i'm rolling the dice on it as my male as it will be the first IBL i finish. i got pissed off at my sativa seeds (nirvana) full moon highland thai for taking forever and TWO transplants before it's even flower and then it did the cross dressing chicks with dicks thing itself so i cut it down.
i had to cut EVERYTHING in my last grow down after i forgot to turn my fan on for a few hours one night ad all of my gals, especially the malawi, got little polkadot burns that had to be reflector hot spots. it went into budding faster than schwaggy mutant super lemon haze, but wasn't trippy yet when i cut it down, but it had hints that it was no worse than generic haze any might have improved it's THC profile later on. as hazes have been so overdone and are usually watered down, it'd be nice to start with some fresher un-diluted IBL genes to work with. if it lives up to it's thai comparisons, it should kick incredible amounts of ass with lemony jack's cleaner 2, sannie's jack f7 & lemon skunk as well as make a sour fruity trippy something with awesome sweet haze and kick much potency ass with haze x skunk. sour cherry buddha's sister deserves something less indica than the G13 haze cross that's up to something like $180 now. i still have 2 beans of BS x G13 haze i'm saving for a flavor grow.

next time... they're fucking! that DNA sweet haze kicks much generic haze ass by being fruitier, stickier and trippier, all in just 9 weeks! i'm sure the 12 weeks+ stuff can be better, but it outshone a bunch of thais, jacks and hazes i've tried. the only potential rival that might be = or better i've tried so far was super cali haze which is a 12 week+ lowrider that turned out a pretty nice cross with C99.
i'd really like to hear some smoke reporting on those sexy ed specials. i'd expect him to use some elite genetics if he puts his name to them. it was one of the strains i was interested in when i made a $100+ wishlist thread a while back. always looking for something better than the best i know
LOL...... not surprised at all. Ed's a grower, not a breeder. Probably knows less about breeding than some of us.
he has written a book that covered breeding all the way back in the 80s, but cervates' book had more info than ed's and another one combined with the 2 other writers maybe having a dozen tips & tricks cervantes missed if that. i actually liked cervantes' plain english breeding primer better than the college level stuff he got into later or the entire MJ botany book. man, that one gets deep into diploids and triploids and all that einstein shee
