Closest seeds to Haight Ashbury 90's weed

I do not remember smelling any weed that smelled like cough syrup (mediciny cherry undertone) from back in the day during the 90s and early 2000s. I actually had a flashback of the smell of weed of old school weed while driving to the dispensary just now. I was thinking about the smell of weed in the dispensaries nowadays and trying to contrast that with the smells of yesteryears. The standard marijuana smells was the commercial/cest/schwag weed. There was the low grade and the cartel mids usually from Mexico. Grown in large batches and it looked like it was compressed together like hay. Usually very dark green in color but sometimes even brown. Often had seeds in it. This was the standard marijuana smell from back in the day. Very kind of natural, woodsy, non-chemical, non petroleum, non-gassy smell. But stunk like regular standard marijuana but I guess common marijuana? I'd imagine most of the weed from the 60s and 70s also smelled like this. The weed from Haight Ashbury was typical standard "kind" bud northern cali/humboldt. Earthy, piny, maybe a little bit lemony? No real fruit smells, just more like a tasty palatable pine forest smell. The southern cali "chronic" was more skunky pungent kind of smell. Both had similar colors. More lime green than just green. No gassy smell. No root beer smells or licorice. Either skunky, dank, and piny. No fruit.

Dude I found the old description! So cool.

Here ya go:

A short history of Hashberry
In the late 1980’s we were in San Francisco and ran into a middle-aged hippie, in Haight-Ashbury, the “center of the universe” during the psychedelic flower power movement. He was driving a purple van with orange-red coloured curtains and just on his way to the Rainbow Gathering. After a friendly chat he gave us a bag of seeded weed and disappeared. We rolled a joint right then and there and walked down the street. The only thing was, that we couldn’t feel our feet anymore - we were flying! From these seeded Indica buds we developed over the years the genetic base for the mother of Hashberry. She was crossed with a special male (J7) that is part of the landrace hybrids we use in our Sadhu lineage (but not identical with the parents for Sadhu). Hashberry is not only named after the unique aroma and resiny buds, but is also derived from the initials of the famous neighbourhood Haight-Ashbury where we were fortunate to collect these special Californian seeds.

That description, plus being in California... it was an OG. That description is 100% how I would describe my loompas hb. Kinda hard to place it in a indica/sativa category, but either way will f*** you up like no other. No tolerance building. Just a pure sucker punch to the dome.

Depends on the OG cut. The loompas is little to no gas, powerful piney terps, with some lemon and earthy notes. Sfv has more gas.

To me OGs are kind of gassy. OG's I think arrived on the scene a little bit later if I"m not mistaken as well. I think the OG smell or a derivative of it is very prevalent in modern day weed.

Og hit the streets in 91 or 92 yeah. But the name og wasn't really used until ~10 years later. And yeah there's several different original cuts and while they're more similar than different, they do have subtle differences like smells and structure.


Loompas headband isn't headband. Neither is the 56 day headband. They are both generally accepted as og's.

The story as I understand it is someone worked at a farm, and when they left they took/stole a bunch of cuts with them, and started working at loompas farm. Loompa claims what he got was labeled headband, and didn't realize until years later that what he had was a really dank og. I guess that could be true, but I think it's more likely he either was trying to profit off the headband name, or was trying to cover up the fact that he acquired a tightly-held og cut.

Other than being an interesting story, it doesn't matter. Dank is dank.

Here she is in all her dank ass glory

Enticing. And it appears no seeds are available unless it's a cross sold by some other breeder. Only clones available and 200 per. Steep

For seeds I'd go with CSI's og crosses nowadays. My (very limited) experiences with those fem crosses are mixed. His TK x Wifi was really nice. His LHB x TK all hermed on me, but others found some really nice stuff in there.
