I don't know JJ or Loompa Farms at all. This being the case, I'm not implying bad motives, on anyone's part.
But I agree with JJ, this naming thing has gotten out of control. Unless I'm talking to the actual breeder, I have no idea what is in a strains lineage. Even when reading it, I know that names are used to "sell."
But if u already have a strain called "Chemdog," or "underdog," changing the spelling but using the same name is misleading. Intentional or not, it is literally misleading. So people either need to stop doing it, or it needs to be damn clear that this "Chemdog" that I'm buying isn't JJ's, or that it's an attempt to recreate what is now a clone only strain or whatever.
The white widow of the late 90's, the original, does not exist anymore (as far as i know). If it does, tell me where I can get it (please!). Yet I can pull up 20 seedbanks right now selling it. White widow is not a "recipe." It's not made by crossing A and B, anymore than you are not a recipe for what happens when your parents breed. Otherwise parents would just recreate the exact same child, every time. In that regard, these strains are like people. They are individuals.
Michael Jackson's brothers, are not "Michael Jackson." His cousins are not, his parents are not, his children are not (literally, HA!) So if you start calling Jermaine, "The King of Pop," I think people would rightly be confused, and we're MJ still alive, he could rightly question anyone who started using that monicker...like, "hey, that name is already in use."
I'm a little medicated, but I think I made enough sense that people will get what I'm saying.
