 Lookin for some info on Mikado

I grew out a mikado cross a few years back and fell in love with it. Since then Federation seeds went down and I'm having a hell of a time finding Mikado.
After some searching i see that mikado was/is actually Sweet Pink Grapefruit and can be found through Next Generation as Dynamite.
Hazeman Seeds claims to have the preserved the strain and has it for sale up at the tude. (sold out right now).
With all the lies/deception and all that he said she said shit...it's hard to know whats what.
I think I might just have to order a pack of beans from both breeders and see what i get.
Anyone got any info they could share?
Where's the bud guru at?

I love the strain. I used it in my Sweet 16. Can be a touchy strain when it wants to be. Example when it gets root bound it will start to bud whether in flowering light or veg. Very strong high and a very fast flowering plant with a killer yield.
Now most of Federations strains are stolen Spice of Life strains and Mikado is most likely Sweet Tooth #3 or #4 but I'm not sure which. Which are a cross of Blueberry and Sweet Pink Grapefruit.
If I were trapped on a island and I could only have 1 strain Mikado would be it.
I personally don't know if anybody is selling seeds of the real thing. I only have a mother of it and no male so I'd have to make female seeds to sell it in it's true form. Nobody knows of this strain other then breeders who use it so I don't have the demand to do it.

I think me looking for them is enough reason to make a small batch! 
In a few months I'll be ordering a bunch of beans and mikado is at the very top of the list. I'll pick up gypsy's mikado99 along with next gens dynamite and hazemans mikado. Keep an eye out for a grow log. Hopefully I find a winner in the bunch. Maybe you could keep an eye on the log and tell me which one of the three compares closest to your true mikado.
Thanks for shedding some light

I may actually be doing a batch of Mikado seeds so I will let ya know. I have some friends in the Islands that want them.
I would say that of the breeders that have it Next Gen would be the best bet. Every time Ziggy use to get pinched he hid his stuff with them. They (Federation Seeds) got busted a few times before getting caught up in the Marc Emery thing. (Emery gave Federation seeds their funding to get started when a deal he had with Steve of Spice of Life seeds fell threw. Ziggy use to work for Spice of Life and left with a bunch of their genetics. That's why Emery funded him to run Federation Seeds. Ziggy wasn't to into doing his own strains examples I know of are Cotton Candy = Sweet Tooth, Island Sweet Skunk = Sweet Skunk, Mikado = Sweet Tooth #3 or #4),
Problem is now both seed companies are out of business and their genetics are getting hard to find.
Hows that for shedding some light?

Shedding some light is an understatement for that educating response
