The matanuska is still up their you just gotta keep looking. I have an old school mate that moved up their and he has managed to bring some back home when he visits on the holidays. hes managed to accomplish this about 5 times out of the last ten years. the other years he has also come through with some pretty nasty dank they called the snow bud which I thought to be the matanuska he claimed it wasnt but it was very close.

Interesting and sentimental read... I went to high school in the early seventies, and longingly remember those sativa strains that regularly came through the area - fantastic flavor, taste and high. I have looked as well to find something similar.

I'll have to try the Durban poison as brick mentions, but isn't original skunk #1 pretty close to having some of those original strains we're mentioning here? It does have indica, but seedsman has both the original mexican and colombian gold sativa's in it's lineage...

This is where the strain name game begins to be played. Without a breeder name with the strain name anything said about it can be anything from correct to slightly misleading to totally wrong.

Different breeders versions of different strains might be made up of the same strains but not of the same genetics and not always in the same proportions or order of breeding so while Skunk #1 is Afghanistan X Mexican X Colombian some Skunk #1’s are more sativa than others and others are more indica than others.
　
If you want a good 100% sativa purchase Reeferman’s Willie Nelson.

Reeferman has another one or two 100% sativa’s in his line, one I believe is called African Black and a couple sativa dominant crosses that are good too, like Love Potion #2. Oh, his Apple Pie is good too.

thank you. excellent referral:weed:
He appears to be a true 70's connosieur and historic 'preservationist'...
I particularly liked the look of apple pie with it's acapulco gold lineage. Did you find that the taste of it actually harkens back to that strain? Can I be that lucky?

edit: unfortunately it has been out of stock for sometime.

I have never found the real true honest to goodness landrace Colombian Gold like I enjoyed so much in the late 60’s and 70’s from any seedbank. I have found strains that were claimed to be the Real McCoy but turned out to be nothing at all like the landrace Colombian Gold was.

Oh I difinatly agree with you brick, I had some in '79 and it blew me away, then again i had a friend in Lake Worth who got divorced in '86 and while cleanin his shit out, found a forgotten jar of C gold.....blew me away again.....ain't seen it since.....NOT overated....if i could find that strain again......

there is a bank called world of seeds at the attitude that has a landrace section. they are advertising some true landrace sativas so they say and colombian gold is one of them. not sure how legit but the prices aint too bad. I was going to check out the gold but I have no room or patience for sativas. although I do love to toke them for sure.

Hey Brick in all of your indulgence did you ever have any "Gold"strains that tasted fruity?(http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/world-of-seeds/world-of-seeds-landraces/world-of-seeds-landraces-columbian-gold-feminized/prod_533.html) IMO that was the downfall if anything of the gold strains ,great high but the taste was anything but fruity.more of a almost harsh,hard hitting taste to me.

Where I lived back in the day when this was so rampant the "red"had a lot better taste and a different buzz,but was harder to come by.

Breeders Choice seed company offers quite a few Sativas listed at 18 to 26 weeks flowering. Several are columbian strains (Gold,red,black) said to be collected in different parts of columbia from around 2002 I think. They also have long flowering california haze said to be from before the haze brothers. i'm gonna get some of them and and find out if it's good or not. These strains were listed at cannabiseye but i'm told will be available from www.cannaseur.com in the near future. The columbian black is listed there now: http://www.cannaseur.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=72&category_id=29&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=36

Hey Bricktop, I remember seeing someone somewhere saying they grew some Dalat online. Might have been over at opengrow.com. I really can't remember where I read it but it was definately dalat. probably not much help huh. good luck.

Edit: i went over to opengrow.com and typed dalat in their search function. Brought up a lot of threads. Heres one that had a fellow who claimed to have dalat seeds. also apparently there were some sold on thcfarmer at one time.
https://www.opengrow.com/index.php?showtopic=39344&hl=dalat This is the only one i read but there were others.

hope this helps you a little in your search, bro.

I remember the black,although the "red" was my favorite.Some buddies of mine and I were talking bout this not to long ago and they all loved it the best,and had fond memories from the buzz.But damn 18-26 weeks that is awhile.By the description of the OP on Cannaseur your looking at tieing almost a whole year into actually propagating and smoking this (4mos. cure) definitely not for the impatient.

Definately not for the impatient but currently there are some crosses of these long flowering plants for sale on the breedbay auction located at www.breedbay.co.uk that bring down the flowering time to something more like what is generaly being sold these days as pure sativas (10-14 weeks or so). There having a fall harvest sale. All BC seeds for 25.00. I got cherry haze (cherry ak47 pheno/cali haze) and the fly (columbian/trainwreck ibl). i ordered a bunch of stuff recently there as it's hard to beat the price. 25.00+5.00 shipping. Seems this would give you an idea wether youd want to try the pure stuff or not in a resonable amount of time.:peace:

If they are still out there PLEASE tell me where I can purchase the original true landrace Dalat and Colombian Gold and Acapulco Gold and Panama Red seeds from.

I have searched for them for years and everything I have tried that was claimed to be the original was at very best a mere shadow of what I used to smoke.

I agree. I started smoking in 1976, and tho a lot of the weed was not that great, though a nickel bag was five bucks if I had to pay at all, there was some really great shit out. I even found a bag from the 70s in an old jacket around the year 2000. believe it or not, I still got pretty damn high! The temps hadn't been controlled, though obviously the light wasn't a factor. Good weed has always been around. And on the age being a factor on getting high; not even close. But back then, it seemed that everybody smoked weed. even more so than today.

I remember as a kid smoking a lot of Matanuska Thunderfuck and being shocked that the stuff available at my stateside college was so thoroughly inferior. Years later, back in AK, I can tell you that if there is any MT left, I can't find it. It was pretty available until the mid to late 80s, but the drug wars, rapid population growth in the valley, and an influx of Sara Palin clones pretty much ended outside cultivation. Yup. Strains can dissapear.

Im growing some Thunderfuck as we speak.

Matanuska thunderfuck is still available in alaska in clone form it is just super rare. The few people that have it don't want to spread it around like fucking assholes. I know a guy in Ketchikan that knows someone with the strain he gets the pot but not a clone..

Legend says when you get a clone you hvae to swear to only pass it on to one person, I am sure not everyone follows this but everyone I have known that had the strain or knew someone who had it said the same thing. I doubt dude above actually has the strain, he lives in Colorado.

Nothing compares to Matanuska Thunderfuck. period

Well if it is the real deal I know I would drive to Colorado for a clone that is how rare it is. Of course never without knowing for sure its real, but if you know and that is good enough for you I suggest never losing that strain.
Congrats.
