Chasing the "Old School" High: Do landraces and skunk #1, etc. still hit like they did in the 70s/80s?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been a silent reader of this sub for quite a while now and I love the knowledge being shared here.
To give you some context: I grew up with cannabis in the late 90s with classics like White Widow, K2, Purple Haze, and Bubble Gum. Today, I’m growing legally in Germany, but I find myself increasingly disconnected from modern "hype" strains. They just don't seem to have the soul or the specific buzz I remember.
I’m planning to go back to the roots and grow some legendary genetics like Skunk #1 and various Landrace strains.
My question to the older generation / OGs:
If I grow these legendary seeds today, will the effect truly be the same as what people experienced in the 70s and 80s? I often hear people talk about a certain "magic" or a more complex, well-rounded high that seems to have been lost in modern breeding.
Have any of you successfully "revisited" the past this way? Does the terroir and modern growing equipment change the result, or is that old-school feeling still locked inside those seeds?
Looking forward to your insights!
