The comment about DNA trying to get a niche in the American market, is actually the opposite. Reserva was their American setup and DNA was to get Euro.I don't actually know of any strains that were brought to the U.S from Europe. TGA seeds TH seeds HSO , Soma, DJ Short, Sam Jack Herrer, Dr. Grimspoon etc etc .It would blow your mind how many American, or American connected the seed banks are. What Amsterdam has done since the 80's was use skunks, Haze, and Northern Lights and then Blueberry etc. Many of the " Refer refugees went to Holland, cause it was prime turf. When I went to Amsterdam in 1985 it was difficult to fing decent weed, but great hash. Marijuana was not very popular. I knew many people that smoked hash in Sweden but never weed. If you look at virtually every strain of pot it will have sk #1 or NL. As for good genetics, try HSO Lemon Thai Kush, DNA or Reserva Kusher Tangie. Or any Tangie. Rare Dankness seeds out of colorado have some killer haze crosses. Mango Haze great weed. Also their was a question about Kush name in the states, on this thread. The original Chemdog from the mid 90's started all this. And yes it was from the Hindu Kush. Lemon Thai Kush still have hindu genes, with thai and Hawaiian.
