i dont understand why some seed banks are like 125$ for 10 seeds of some white widow and then another seed bank is like 65$ for some white widow oh yea and another thing i dont really get why like if u get a normal 10 pack of like some ppp and it says the thc level is like 20% then if u get a feminized 10 pack it says the thc level is like 16% i dont get any of that so if anyone has any input on any of this type it in

basically you can call a strain whatever you want
this business isn't regulated
...
and most importantly, you get what you pay for usually.

usually places like sensi seed banks have the true genetics, consistency.. so they're more expensive, other places like nirvana have lower generations, hybrids, variencies what have you

i will say this if you pay lots of money for top quality strains you generally get top quality results in most of your plants... if you use lets just say nirvana knock offs(which i am using right now)you will get a large variety of phenotypes...but if you grow all the plants out and choose your mother wisely i can almost guarantee you will get some great genetics.. so the question is what do you have time to pick some good genetics for 25 bucks....or the money to buy almost completely consistant genetic similarity....i am a cheap bastard...so i take my time grow em out clone em all...bud em.see wich ones grow great, clone easy, mature early,but most important who produces the mostquanity of thc.... then cure em and see which has the best buzz ,taste , length of buzz,and ceiling for tollerance the best i call mom...i keep that clone for motherhood grow out the rest of the girls and smoke good weed until i got a room full of great weed. takes about 6 months from seed..

I ordered four types of seeds from Nirvana. Blue mystic, PPP, crystal,and their land race Thai. PPP turned out real nice, Blue mystic was the worst cheap hermy bag seed I've ever grown,; not at all as described, the Thai didn't even germinate (not by my error I've been germinating seeds for 11 years), with regards to crystal the jury is still out haven't grown it yet. well not to completion yet we'll see in about 5 weeks.

Even expensive seed obtained directly from breeders will have phenotype variations. I purchased Chronic from Serious Seeds in Amsterdam and got 2 distinct forms,more and less sativa in form. However I wouldn't mess with knockoff seed myself,I would expect wild variation from what people tell me.

yes.. there's usualy more than one phenotype, and that's good!! variety IS the spice of life!! but I always say you get what you pay for.. but of course you can look on this forum and see people who pay $22 for seeds and get some bomb! so it is what is... I just know I plan to get seeds from a website I've heard nothing but good things from...
