Was that the stuff coming up from Texas? I wonder if that was some Panama Red?

That's what I always assumed it was. I know what we were getting as "redbud" had a few seeds in it.
It was one of the very first plants I tried to grow. 100% sativa without a doubt.....

Yeah I was talking to Tony from Oasis seeds trying to get the paralyzer from him this last weekend and the paw popped up. He said he could get the paw for me and he's releasing some Paralyzer f5's in August at the HTC. Possibly getting the paralyzer too but only for headstash.

Reason I asked is I'm waiting on some PR beans atm. My bro's caretaker is from Panama and her family sent us a bunch of Red beans to play with.

There were a lot of different Reds back then, we used to get mexican, columbian, jamaican and panamanian. The common characteristic was the long heavy high. The "good old day's", huh?

This is one I have heard about and have always wanted to try. Ive been searching for some of the long time Michigan Strains to work on some Mitten preservation.

Good luck, IMO the Monkey Paw has gone the way of the dinosaur.
I've tried several "real deal" samples, ran down a few leads all have lead nowhere.
If it is out there its locked down tighter than a frog's butt hole.

Both local buds and import bricks were called redbud back then. Basically anything with red hair. I had access to locally produced redbud around then. This old timer had said it was bag seed from some Panama Red circa 1978. I know he crossed it later with an NL5 male. I wouldn't be surprised if those genetics were still kicking around someone's garden.

The Monkey Paw was certainly something unique. I remember rock solid, club shaped nuggets covered in golden trichs. I always thought it looked more like a cat's paw but whatever. I had assumed it was an indica due to the density of the nuggets and the flavor reminded me of a Hindu Kush. I have not seen nor heard of it for 20 years. If it is still around it may no longer resemble the original. You know how we are always trying to improve our plants. ;)

We told all kinds of people all kinds of BS stories back in the mid 80's to move our gear, even into the late 80's.
As a matter of fact we "learned" that trick from an old timer, lol... Wasn't until the early-mid 90's that people didn't turn down "home grown", even though it was the exact same genetics we'd been slinging all along:cool:

A lot of BS indeed. Back then all diesel meant was something shipped north in a gas tank.

monkey paw is around...... had a friends uncle that had only Monkey Paw from the first 10 years of the 2000's that "I" know of. stuff looked like a dull light green and stacked fingers as decried. He wouldn't give it out for anything. i have no clue about the genetics but i know i have found it years later.....i got an old Fire Og cut from the same guy......but only kept the fire
