I’ve wonder about this for a long time, being from the US.. When I first started my hobby like a lot of people I went for cheap euro beans off of sites like herbies & attitude. Ran Barney’s critical kush & had a few stellar phenos & a couple decent (but not bad phenos) crazy good yielding for a kush, very nice fat nugs & a fruity pebbles pheno. Some had a lime candy nose, the ones I didn’t like where a semi bland sandal woody nose.
It’s been at least 5 yrs since then, & I’ve moved on to US breeders.. & honestly theres not much of a difference in quality, still have to pheno hunt. Ironically even though everything is super overhyped on IG with gelato crosses etc.. alot of these older breeders have far more stable genetics & more homogeneous results.
Like everything else gotta try for yourself, I hate hype.
