this is b.s. b/c I havent tried all of them but yet I voted. My favorite isnt on this list but I have tried 5 of these listed breeders. Lots of people will give you answers on what they read and not on what they grew so be careful.

somebody do a poll that says who has the best Kush; the best ww; the best Haze; the best skunk; the best OG; the best Diesel; the best berry; the best fruity. I know these are opinions but that is what polls are for and I put a lot of value in popular consensus. I like this poll. It's ok. I'm trying to find the best of the best as well and don't have the $$ flow to be trying a bunch of bunk crap.

I'll list as many as I can, I'm really looking for opinions on this. It's a Big deal for someone wanting a legal buisness in growing. If I didn't mention the one please post and tell me why you choose them. That said, please CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE.

Have A Good One :cool:

The people actually doing the business in growing (legal or otherwise) generally aren't starting from commercial ceeds.

Instead they usually start from clones, often from "elite" clone only lines.

If you look at the dispensaries doing the legal SELLING much if not most of what they're selling is buds grown from "clone only" lines, not from commercial ceed.

So, I dispute the premise of your question. You really don't need to know the best "breeders" to establish a legal business in growing. You just need to identify the best individual strains for your particular niche and grow setup then source them. Who bred them or the quality of the rest of their work is secondary.

For example, if one breeder offers 8-10 crap strains and 1-2 great ones, shouldn't you consider the 1-2 good lines if they otherwise meet your needs? I think there are breeders like this out there.

To answer the question anyway, I'd say the most reputable breeders include:

Mr. Nice (Shantibaba), DJ Short, DNA Genetics, and Serious Seeds. These are all outfits with outstanding individual lines that have been around for a long time. (DNA, the shortest of the bunch, but still good). Some "upstarts" with good reputations include Rare Dankness, Gage Green, Bodhi, Sannie, TGA. Like anything, it comes down to what exactly you're looking for. Not every strain from each of these breeders will be a "winner", but they'll have some good ones or good phenos to pick from.

Sensi was once the best seedbank/breeder, but I don't think they've really kept up with the times, and a lot of people think their lines simply aren't as good as they used to be. Dinafem is more of a large commercial outfit, though they do offer high consistency and good product.

I don't want to establish anything except making a cross of something amazing and starting with the best genetics possible. I want to know these things for a couple of different reasons actually. We are all sorting thru rubbish to get to the best final product regardless of the reason. Maybe I just want to do a term paper. Polls are for all sorts of reasons to the individual op.

You and everyone else. . .

Knowing who is the best breeder is one thing. . .knowing who has the best strains another.

I "get" where you're coming from, but I think it could be helpful if you identified what you mean by "best of the best".

If you mean "best for commercial growing" there are already multiple open threads on the topic of "cash cropping" and you might check them out. In fact, there are also innumerable threads open on best breeders, and best strains, and I think you may get some useful information checking out pre-existing threads on these topics.

Note that the opinion of a personal grower on what's "best" is probably going to be pretty different than that of someone who is trying to grow for profit. The small grower may not give a fig about yield or flowering time, for example, where as each of these things will be critical to a cash-cropper.

Also, you've got a list up of 10 different breeders whose collective catalogs easily encompass over 100 different strains. Its probably fair to say that there are very few individuals who have experience with the majority of these lines, and most respondents to this poll (including myself) have tried only a small number. So as mentioned, most poll respondent opinion here is going to be based on reputation (ie hearsay) not experience.

Its difficult to answer the question if you keep changing it.

First you wanted to grow for profit, now you want to make a cross, then write a term paper? Which is it?

How about you define what characteristics you're after in a strain or breeder, and then we can answer.

Exactly what do you mean by "the best"?

I'm not trying to be a wiseacre here. Its not difficult to rattle off the names of (say) 15 strains that most knowledgable growers would say are excellent, iconic, and/or world class, but again, defining which is/are "the best" is highly subjective.

No not me. maybe that other person said for profit . my last post though, i was just trying to make a point though. bad one. us cannabis lovers just starting out learning the lingo and trying to sort thru so much information. I've been smoking for years with no knowledge of what where when and how. and in adulthood now I have a different fascination so I want to learn now all I can. Where to start? well, try and pick up the lingo. It's sometimes hard to convey a question that you aren't sure how or what to ask. But when different people keep naming the same things in all the readings from all the research, it is what sticks, so how do we ask? This is all just conversation. It's what a forum is for. But so often so many people who are here all the time just look at it like, "all the info is out there, go find it." I don't mean you. just hypothetically speaking. My point was just that its not just for establishing a business, I might want a poll for 100 reasons.
I don't think I had a question. I personally don't want to buy seeds anymore but rather make my own. With the best genetics available, according to what most people have tried and know to be true. I am interested in comparing strains say...every company who has a white widow. (I know so many of them) if there are 20 voters, 5 might be the same. Nice to know for whatever reason...a term paper, making cancer medicine and need the best. popular consensus goes far. that was my only points. i knew you weren't being smarty pants. lol i am often misunderstood from not making myself clear. my father tells me the same.

Spruce. I have brown hair that has shades of dark red. My beard is light red/orange.

This Poll is defiantly not for cash cropping. When someone asks me "the best" I simply give them the name of the strain, and breeder. I could care less what the flowering time is, or how "potent" it is. Simply asks for opinions of what they like/prefer. I've been to many, many people about this, mostly say Barneys and Mr Nice. When someone says "dude!! That Northern Light was the tits of Pamela Anderson!" and you say, "who were the BREEDERS" they say sensi I'll bite, if something else no way in hell.

So it does come down to the Comany Names. I wouldn't buy an iPod that had an apple with two bites out of it.. Just one

you only have 4 breeders listed worth looking at. the rest are not experts, but not only that their breeds are sub-par by FARRRRR in comparison to the 4 you have listed.

do the research and you will know whom the best are

From what I gather, Bodhi and Rare Dankness are pretty quality ATM. I'm sure there are others up there but those two appear to be the top in my eyes.

I would have voted for Mr.Nice or Serious Seeds based on their original work, but I voted for DNA simply because they have serious fire. I've smoked quite a few of their strains and they have all been excellent.
