I was just having this discussion with another member, Nirvana isnt' bad if you choose a good strain. I've heard many a good things about white rhino and couple of others.
It's more relevant at least in my opinion is if your flowering from seed. I would be more inclined to spend a few extra bucks and maybe get the seeds from the orignal breeder if I was flowering from seed. 1 plant is equal to anywhere from let's say 1 oz to 4 oz. 1 oz of good grade is worth 5x as much as spending that couple of extra dollars in the beginning. End up with the equivalent in a cruddy pheno and you just lost more cause you tried to save a couple of bucks in the beginning.
Now if I'm cloning, and searching for mothers, and I'm not trying to fill a larger grow room by all means an attempt at the F2's to save money is a safe bet.

good info and something to take into account when deciding which route to go when ordering or deciding genetics.

I agree , The quality,s there if you choose the right strain every seeds bank has dodgy strains I used to think the same as mastakoosh that they are cheap for a reason all they are doing is looking at crosses other breaders had done with with top quility results and making the same cross them selfs with a slight name change copyright reasons i guess If your going 2 pick a strain from nirvana go for snow white I took advise a while back after my friends telling me to stay away from nirvana , And that smoke is so nice like a bubblegum taste it reminds me There snow white makes lovely tights sticky dence dank buds as good as any smoke ive tryed in Amsterdam In fact it was better because it was my own Any of there white strains is worth a go also bubblicous ive heard lots of good things and papaya is for sure worth a try ,Its hard to describe its sweet taste and smell but its also a top quality smoke

It's crazy though, for example Jack Herer...which I spent ungodly amounts of money on...has 4 pheno variations. You would think that they would have backcrossed/crossed that thing till it was 1 pheno for that much money.
I do stand by NL x BB from nirvana as the cruddiest strain I've ever grown.

Could nirvanas jock horror be more stable lol it does prove thou that you dont have to spend crazy money to get quality
BigBudda Cheese for example its uk cheese crossed with afgani not the real cheese but sure is quality another is hashberry $20 a pack from mandala and as good a smoke as any ,
its the brand name some times that gives these breeders a chance tto slap on crazy price tags
I used to think going for 1 of the more expencive seed banks ment quality every time when i went for sensi seeds belladona ,,hermiessss

Yah,price has nothing to do with quality, at lot of the time it's just advertising, that's why I like to buy from the breeder,at least you get what you pay for. I have heard too many people complain about resellers switching seeds. Although there are reliable shops around, they are known by reputation and satisfied customers.

I agree that California Orange is a disappointing strain from Nirvana. However it is the only one of many Nirvana strains I have tried that I would not grow again.
I could not find a potent enough pheno from the females I grew out, the taste was ok but it lacked any potency.
On the other hand, some of my favorite strains have come from Nirvana, these include NLxHaze, Northern Lights, Papaya, and White Rhino…Ice is my single favorite Nirvana strain. Overall, IMO, Nirvana provides very good value.
I have grown out much more expensive strains that were not as good as some Nirvana strains. Sometimes it is the “luck of the draw” genetically!

the reason nirvana is cheaper is not due to the quality of their product (most that I have grown from them have been well above average) it's because they breed their own strains and try to name them similar, like generic cereal (fruit loops vs.fruit o's) for example people think Ak 48 and Ak 47 are somehow related and they're not, Ak48 is IcexJock horror while Ak 47 is columbianxmexicanxthai even though Ak48 is a one or two hit strain Ak 47 would blow it out of the water any day

If your plants die on you, it's not the breeders fault; get better at what you do. If you don't want hermies, stick to indicas. Since when does a bad experience with a strain lie solely on the shoulders of the breeders? A lot of the posts in this thread are just ridiculous. There will always be plants, even from a pack (or two) of crazy expensive seeds, that won't make the cut. Every plant isn't going to be elite.

Nope.
I'm not talking purposely induced hermies here guys. If you have to spray shit on your plants to get them to hermie, you may as well get a sex change yourself.

not really sure what that means but it hermied due to stress in early flower. i didnt purposely hermie it, not trying to argue but just stating.
