1960s collection.
The landrace import era.
Before there were breeders, there were travelers. The 60s catalog is a map of who carried what across which border, not who crossed what with what in a tent.
Cannabis in the 60s meant pressed bricks from Mexico, kilo bundles of Acapulco Gold dropped through the Sierra Madre, Thai sticks tied with bamboo, and bricks of dark Lebanese hash. There were no Cups, no Dutch catalogs, no labs. There were boats and trucks and a generation that suddenly cared what it was smoking.
For us the 60s era is about preserving the parent lines those imports were drawn from. Equatorial sativa with 14-week flower, narrow leaves, head-soaring effect. None of these strains are stable in the modern sense. They were never bred to be. They were grown for sun, harvested in monsoons, and shipped under tarps. That is what makes them worth saving.

Where the 1960s collection stands
No 60s strain in our current catalog. We are working on Haze and Acapulco Gold sources. When they pass our QC we will list them as preservation drops, not retail.
