I got mine from the first Seattle cannabis farmers market. It's been confirmed as the old original by enough people that I believe it to be the oldest cut named UW. It's resinous, it's glands just aren't as flashy as a lot of more modern strains. There are also the 82' Purple and the 84' Black. I have all three finishing side by side as we speak. Each is occupying its own square meter under a 600wt HPS. There are possible similarities. Many more differences that are enough for me to seriously question their relation. They may be related in name only. The purple is really resinous and chunky. The black is nicer looking than the original as well. The ugly dubling sure throws resinous offspring, though. As good as the best I've had easily.
I hate the white. Shit smells like mushrooms. Surely there are equally resinous plants with much more pleasurably terpene profiles. I'm thinking Sensi star. In fact I've found Sensi star like terpenes in uw crosses that I have ran.
Never heard of kp. Hmm. Wuts it like?
UW x Sensi Star sounds nice,Mota/Loran gear? I've worked my old Sensi Star cut with a Lemon Skunk male. I also crossed my UW to a male from Ken's "GDP". The terpene profile was very similar to my old Sensi cut. So naturally I hit a choice female cut of purple lemony Sensi Star x Lemon Skunk with five different UW x GDP dudes. Just planted a few of those a couple days ago. Kinda hard to lose.

Hi farmers ! Been fighting health issues for a awhile and haven't been around much, but I might know a little about the original udub
I was in the V.A, in seattle summer of "84". I was informed UW was working on a couple different strains for cancer patients .
The first " Chemo" and the second " Wheelchair" , the first being small, woody and developed for nausea from chemo treatments, and "wheelchair" an extremely frosty, resin soaked wonder that was meant for debilitating pain and terminal
conditions. The " wheelchair" was graced to me until I lost her to sub zero temperatures, wood heat, and ... blah,blah,blah
Would love to find the real deal again. I'm a 30 year survivor of lymphatic cancer , and to those that have contributed to my survival
I owe much. I'll share a couple of those names with you from OG... Lonestar (RIP), that brother and the Texas Resin Company
helped tremendously, Nebu, a true master, and gentle person. I see he visits " the Farm " occassionally . . . We're close geographically now, it would be a real gift to reconnect. Another brother Perseus helped with wonderful work of his own. "MedicineMan",
and the Hillbilly himself with the T.W. cut. . . . and Never forgotten , Big Island Bud who shared much Aloha, with yours truly.
If I were granted one wish, " it would be to personally thank Nebu, medicineMan, the Hillbilly, and the one man that gave me the total will to survive, Robert Randall ( Waiting to exhale ) who in one of my darkest moments told me, " If the cannabis is keeping you alive, keep smoking, what can they do worse to you than terminal cancer ". Bless you all, to the families af Robert R, and Lonestar . . .
I can only say, " your loved ones gave me strength and the ability to survive" Thank-you from the bottom of my heart.

Up in smoke by now of course, but there is another run going now. Left to right: uw82' purple, uw84' black and just dub, UW. Anyone wanting to add knowledge to my uw obsession is welcome to pm and physically verify. Unless you are a nutjob, then leave me alone because I will stab you with a screw driver if need be.
I would not describe any of the UW cuts I have as smelling " spearmint juicy fruit ". I've had other strains including juicy fruit that smelled sort of like juicy fruit gum. Usually by the time my nose makes it around a room it's fairly sticky and desensitized. My UW is very leafy and wide leaved and does turn bluish purple. Not in the buds unless outside. Just the leaves and glandular hue as you stated. I describe the smell as bitter earthy hash. The flavor is very rich and earthy with a nice terpentiney sort of earth flavor with a bitter bite. A very nice bitter finish that is distinctive. The high is hypnotic. This cut is the same one floating around ptown and has been around since the late seventies. Not at all modern looking but the high and flavor compensate.
