Meigs County Gold

Hey everyone. I know a lot of people think that any marijuana grown from Meigs County, OH is Meigs County Gold but it's actually a popular strain from the 70s and 80s.

I'm actually in Meigs, and I have been trying to track down the seeds for weeks. I know there are some older posts about it, but I haven't heard anything recently of the strain and I live here.

The information I got from my various connections point to older growers having more information on it. I contacted a few of my uncles that used to grow and they told me the same thing. One of them said that he actually smoked with Willie Nelson a few times because he liked to come to Meigs for the strain. I'm not sure how true that is, but I've heard Willie did like Meigs Gold. Anyway, my uncles said they would ask around but I haven't heard anything yet.

I finally got a lead recently from a friend to talk to one of my buddies. I was excited at first because the friend he referred me to was actually one of my best friends a few years back. I contacted him but he said he's been out of the game for four years. He stopped growing because he was paranoid of the cops, and he basically said that he didn't want me to grow for the same reason. As a result, I basically got no information from him. What I thought would have been the lead I was looking for, turned out to be a case of over protection. I understand the risks, as do the majority of people who grow in spite of it being illegal. He didn't really care, just didn't want me to risk it. He did tell me that older growers have seeds stored, but I already knew that.

So now I'm back to square one. No leads, just some talk here and there. I'm very interested in obtaining the seeds because it was once such a prevalent strain and it's part of the history of my county. I know there are better strains out there but this one has more value to me because it's local. I've heard that older gentlemen stopped growing it because they were afraid of commercialization. That's understandable but I still don't think the "legend" should die. Our county isn't the greatest and we don't have a whole lot of money but we do know how to grow our weed.

I was hoping that someone who frequents the Rollitup community could shed some light as to whether it's still being grown. Of course, a lead to the seeds would be amazing, but I can settle for a simple confirmation that it's still around and being enjoyed. It'd be nice to know if our local legend is still going.

Im from athens area..ive heard of it and its a local legend..as to where to find them youll be lucky to find..few years back i had a grower that had some shit that killed elvis crossed with MG so? idk..best weed i ever smoked.

I saw someone on here say it was gone. That dude who was the "only" one with it died in a motorcycle accident. I never heard about this so I asked around. Was told its still around. Alive and kicking. Was told I was welcome to a cut. But passed. Never was really a fan of it. Didn't even ask about seeds. I'll be seeing the guy I spoke with soon. I'll ask him about seeds. And let you know. I agree that it really seems like only the old heads mess with this one any more

MG was a worked sativa, i had it in the early 80's . Can't tell you much about it now though

when i was in gallip[olis i had a strain called elvis supposedly a nl and s skunk hybrid heard of it?

As far as Meigs gold goes the story I got from old man Priddy himself (maybe the largest scale gorilla grower ohio has ever seen) about a year before he died is that the strain is dead. He told me that it was grown by a local family (which he wouldn't name) who are all either dead or in prison. About 5 years ago I heard rumors that the last member of the family got out of prison and supposedly started a second generation of the strain but I have yet to verify it. Even if so it's not the same. Before they ruined the business old man Piddy's grandsons were pushing what they were claiming was the 2nd generation meigs gold, but I wasnt very impressed. Likely it was something they grew themselves and quite badly at that....they obviously never learned the art of curing from their grandfather. So I dont think it's likely anyone will find and seeds of this iconic strain but I wish you the best of luck, and if you do find some seeds spread the love around.

NL x skunk is pretty much 90% the of what I got in the early/mid 2000's. That combo is hard to fuck up, so I'm guessing it may be a local variety or one of many Elvis varieties, we near me(New England) had a sativa called Elvis, very upbeat and like a haze, spicy Woody incense stuff.

My dad is created the strain its Acapulco Gold mixed with skunk #2 the result is Meigs co gold.. my dad AKA Noodle Hayes did 8 years in federal prison after a large bust

Acapulco Gold mixed with skunk #2 My father created the strain

His grandsons are a disgrace. Fred was a great man. Those boys live off his legend this is the first time I've used my dad's name and only to prove my comments legitimacy lol

I’m from here and this information is correct. And I also agree you won’t find it here anymore it’s gone. People try to pass it off all the time but it will never be that true meigs county gold all those old guys are gone but there legacy is all that’s left. Those guys kept there cards close to there chest n lever let the secret completely out of the bag so to speak.

Ok any chance you know what skunk#2 it was they used as there are two lines theres the red skunk line from holland that stems from when skunk first hit that ferry worked/sold in the 80s/90s that still exists and then theres the one sam skunkman claims/talks of but seems to only exist on paper and no one seems to have kept any clones of it those two both get labelled skunk2 so its a lil confusing ?
