Blowfish by Dutch Flowers
To the best of my knowledge, I purchased the ONLY pack of these released (at auction for over $1,000). At the time I wasn't a breeder so I sent cuts of the best males and females to Jojorizo who made F2's and a handful of crosses (maybe S1's as well). Thank goodness as these treasures have been preserved all these years later. Here is the original Dutch Flowers description.

Lineage: (G13 X Oregon Funk) X (G13 X Blue Dot)
Named after the deadly Japanese delicatessen, this breeding project begun when we set out to improve taste and yield two weak traits of the G-13 by using Oregon Funk as a pollen donor. The results were quite pleasing but the smoke test revealed that G-13's power had been downgraded somewhat. Then it was the turn of a very impressive Blue Dot hybrid stud, which qualified the G-13 with great taste and no harm to its potency, although this time yield was less than desired. Finally, we applied heavy selection to each of these two G-based lines, and crossed them giving rise to Blowfish, a winning combination of G-13's deadly punch and the quality and taste of the Funk and Dot lines.
Blowfish exhibits great F1 vigor and disease resistance in a well-behaved plant that avoids the undesirable traits of "blue" genetics (difficult to grow, brittle, leafy, poor calyx to leaf ratio) while maintaining the flavor of the Funk and Dot ancestors and the brain-warping power of the G-13. A prolific flower producer even under poor conditions (it actually prefers low nutrient levels), this low-maintenance strain bears wonderfully dense buds, with a thick coating of milky crystals that will rival the best of the "white" strains in both crystal coverage and brain-thumping quality, with much better flavor and yield. We are proud to offer a hybrid carrying no White Widow, Northern Lights, Skunk or Blueberry in its composition.

Parental selection focused on potency and yield, as taste and resin genes were already well fixed on the Funk and Dot lines. Outstanding ancestors infuse the plant with a high quality feel, evident in the glossy leaves, harmonious phenotype and the particularly frosted, heavy and aromatic buds. Blowfish tends to branch out while adding girth to flowering clusters, forming sizeable snowy colas for excellent yield. Despite the remarkable density of its bud structure, mold and mites have not been a problem. This fish likes plenty of water as well as appropriate root and growing space, but prefers low levels of nutrients to fully express its potential. Very well-suited for bubbler systems and SCROG styles.

Blowfish retained the breathless intensity of G-13, with much better yield and a unique taste of berries and motor grease with fuel undertones that will appeal to pot-snobs. The experienced puffer will recognize a rotten animal scent lurking in the background of this Puffer, a sign of the abiding sativa influence that was a common denominator in parental stock selection. Its buds smoke very smooth and clean, with a great berry taste and a hashy feel that relates to its impressive crystal coverage.

Known as Fugu in Japan, Blowfish flowers live up to its namesake as a lethal delicacy with a body-paralyzing yet heady cerebral effect that defies traditional "Indica" and "Sativa" classification. The plant's elegance stands in sharp contrast with the muscle and intensity of its buds, which stun the body but thrust the mind into a euphoric trippy experience with excellent visuals and duration. It does not seem to build tolerance with experienced smokers, maintaining its knock-out quality over repeated
use.
 
My bad I was searching for Dutch flowers magazine and I found a little thread on icmag where katsu’s cut is mentioned.
seems these were a wanted thing back nearly 20 years ago lol..
 
Katsu has both Airborne G-13 and Pacific G-13 I am sure they will be involved in this project some how. I figured @katsu would reverse one of the G-13's for a cross of both like he did the 79 and 81 Skunk plants. Or one could hope anyway 😁
 
I'm Hunting this strain right now crossed to pre 98 Bubba....!!!! Heres the only pic I can find of a full grown one.... mine are only seedlings right now ....
I have a ton of the G13 strains I've acquired... I would like to have the blowfish as well but it's been sold out everywhere I look ... Really excited about these babies....!!!!! 😁
