The 70s strain that was too perfect to survive

There is a strange kind of loss in this story. Chocolate Thai, the 70s classic from Thailand's fields, built its name on a character so distinctive that growers and collectors never forgot it, and yet the line itself largely slipped away with the era. The video above tells the story of that near-irreplaceable strain and what became of it.

When the era moves on, only living lines carry on

A strain's character does not survive by being remembered; it survives by being grown. Chocolate Thai's story is a reminder that the eras move on whether the lines are carried forward or not, and the only thing that decides is whether someone keeps the living plant going.

That is the work at the heart of CloneBuzzz Genetics. Verified living clones carry a strain's real character intact from grower to grower, so that the lines worth remembering stay worth growing. Preservation is what separates a still-living heritage from a remembered one.
