Haze, Skunk and Northern Lights. But, both skunk and northern lights are hybrids. Those three strains are the basis of almost every Dutch strain is what he probably meant. None of them are what you are looking for though. They are stable strains but, they have a lot of genetic diversity within the pool.

Durban was actually the third strain she mentioned. I was thinking the third stable one would be afghani.

If you want easy and stable grow SSH is one of the most stable choices you can choose. Correct me if I'm wrong but breeders don't sell the male version of SSH (or the designer strains) because if you can keep the male plant alive then you won't buy their seeds. If you don't want to always be buying seeds why not learn to clone a great plant you get from feminized seeds. Or are you smoking to much and consider feminized seeds genetically altered and not pure enough from earth?
If he was after SSH he'd have to get them from Mr Nice (Shantibaba), he holds the original breeding stock and he sells regular seeds, the main reason for feminised is money that and no breeding talent involved just chemicals.

I hate that you popped my naivity about that. Been wondering about it for two days and guy at last seed store almost said as much. He said breedable seeds (not feminized) are looked down on with contempt by a large part of the market. They want all females and they want them now. I guess for continuous croppers it makes sense.

Its probably a Monsanto chemical.

Durban? Very strange, I can't think think of many strains with Durban genetics in.

Maybe it's anti-social, only breeds with itself?

So then it isn't one of the three strains that form the basis for everything else?

some guy in kabouter said something similar, that every dutch seed is some sort of cross/development from I think skunk,widow,haze and hindu kush...

Skunk, Haze and Northern Lights are the 3 strains that form the basis of most Dutch strains from the last 30 years. There may be other strains used a lot, but those are the major three. It's common knowledge, anyone who says different is either mistaken or bullshitting.
