so why is de shaaman claiming he was the creator of white widow?
he sells a registered name version. is shanti an opportunist, too. or the victim of a fraud?
thought I'd add some balance to the white widow stuff being written.
i don't have answers....just like to know 'em
green house seeds are the creator of white widow true, but it was shanti who was the breeder behind it when he worked for GHS at the time, but they take credit for it. if i was going to buy any seeds it would be from shanti the bloke is a top breeder and he is sound as f*ck, i could not find his "critical mass" seeds any ware and p.m'ed him on his forum he got back to me in a day or so and said he could personally send me some. i did not go though with it because of the risk of customs finding them, its a shame because the yield from those plants if grown well will be massive. i have grown shanti's seeds before and have always found a keeper out of a batch unlike other seed banks that just breed for mass production of seeds, shanti selects the best of the best of his plants and just sells seeds from the offspring resulting in fast/ strong/ heavy yielding strong as f**k smoking plants. i have never found a plant that as come close to one of his Early Queens i grew a few years back, SOG 36 plants psqm under 600w nft = 750g of greasy rock solid bud.
thanks for the info, but i knew shanti worked for gh. i was more interested in how (correctly spelt now!) de sjamaan was involved. i quote:
'One of the most infamous and renowned breeds in the world of Cannabis, White Widow has claimed victory in many of the top Cannabis Cup competitions for De Sjamaan cannabis seeds ever since it was placed 1st in the High Times Cannabis Cup Bio Category in 1995.'
he can use the real name, whereas shanti uses the name black widow. Why would the creator not use it's real name? i think i need to investigate...
why dont you ask shanti your self over at is forum mrnice.nl
