The strain nobody wanted to touch in 1978
Michoacán, a state on Mexico's Pacific coast, lent its name to a landrace that carries one of the strangest reputations in strain history. In 1978, at the height of an era when stories travelled faster than facts, this strain became one that growers and collectors were genuinely afraid to touch. The video above digs into why, and into what the plant itself is really about.

Reputation is not genetics
Stories like this one are a reminder that a strain's reputation and a strain's genetics are two different things. Rumours can make a line famous or feared almost overnight, but the plant itself is the result of generations of adaptation to its home ground, and none of that character is explained by rumour.
Preserving real, living genetics is exactly how that distinction gets honoured. At CloneBuzzz Genetics we supply verified living clones so that a strain's true character travels intact from one grower to the next, rather than being defined by whatever people happened to believe about it in any given decade.
