In 2023, Christopher Mills suggested a potential link to Tyler Ekstein (Mallacht Plants) and characterized it as a Southern California stand with Ecuadorian features, but quickly retracted this statement. Hamon Christophe noted an interest in Ecuadorian clones in 2026 but could not provide specific details. No definitive information regarding the clone's identity or provenance was established. ^ Date ^ Speaker ^ Confidence Score ^ Key Insight/Quote ^ ===== Credibility Notes ===== No speakers in the discussion met the high-confidence threshold (7/10 or higher).
