Na, I don't think so. Neville tried back to bring the original "haze" and you have nevilles haze through a lot of back breeding, but I don't think it's like the original exactly. I've never smoked real haze though, so I don't know.

some sites sell landrace strains if you look around Attitude seed bank 's different breeders. You should be able to get close to what your looking for.

Mandala offers hybrids of landrace strains...Not quite what you are looking for though.

I think seedsman may have a couple landrace offerings.

Have you grown their gear? They have some real interesting looking strains. HHF has been very helpful in the past, I'd like to try their offerings.

thanks for tha help guys, but all the one i have come across are crosses or just don't seem legit. my friend got some colombian and ww mix, and it was no where near like the original colombian gold. why is it so hard to keep the originals around? i know we need the crosses but for god sake keep the original too.

Some of us do indeed keep the originals around, travel the world and support collection of them in situ. Real, true Colombian Gold's and Pure Equatorials can and do take well over 20 weeks in flower, there is a very limited market for such pure, untouched real things.

Hence why we selectively create hybrids from them, to suit more modern conditions. We release both the pure lines and selected hybrids that capture their essence in F1 and beyond forms.

Most hybrids, are nothing more than hybrids of hybrids selectively bred in closets rom minimal seed numbers and bred for high fertiliser resistances (LOL!) and therefore there is no wonder they are barely recognisable for any of the original traits.

You cannot select pure Sativa's indoors and in selection of landraces you need a lot of seed and experience with a line to be able to identfy true elites. Of course, this is work most modern breeders do not even consider, as it is far easier to get a clone, cross it and sell you the seed, or even easier, make S1's of in demand clones. There is little, to none real breeding being done out there.

However it does not need to be that way. You can find F1 Pure Colombians (GoldBud) that take 25 weeks in flower, Hybrids to Indicas highly selected to not taint the pure Sativa experiences and selected from relatively huge numbers outdoors. Along with many other 'real' things if you look hard enough.

Not much has been lost, it is just well hidden and in the hands of only a few who really care.

Peace, HHF
