The irony is, some of the prettiest, insane bag appeal weed out their is totally mediocre smoke. Take a close look at the frost on some of those elite clones that look totally white with trichomes-the trichomes have massive long stalks, but the actual number of trichomes isn't any different from any other good weed. The potency is in the head, and even that varies from plant to plant. How a plant looks isn't a good indicator of potency. Now if your intent is to take some good pictures, by all means have at the elite clones. I think most people would have more fun with a pack of say, a Compound Apples and Bananas cross, than with a $1500 clone because the pack is like a dozen lottery tickets. Those kind of chucks are fun if you go in with zero expectations and then let yourself be surprised if you find something interesting.
