Best commercial strain? (to make money)

[schuylaar]

Gotta love the chem4 really sedative and sooooooooo tasty A good night's sleep almost every time.

Yeah, you know when I was getting into this some pukehead (in conversing about what "people want") told me sat doms and cloudy trix no ambers.."that was the old way". Myself personally, love, love, indica dom with field of golden mushrooms..Well, I did that and all my 20-something patients wanted the Chem4 which I had for my own personal use..go figure! When I get new patients, the first thing they ask is if I have the Chem4 in stock..

What is the best commercial strain? (to make money)

Stability, consistency, good yielding, good smoke, easy growing and not too strong an odour would be the main factors.

Green Crack... commercial extraordinaire.
Sativa folks like it... indica folks like it... short flower... lower odor... huge yields... pretty. Can't beat it for commercial purposes.


What you are really getting from the Green Crack AND what you want out of the ideal commercial plant, imo... is a Skunk plant with nice productive branching crossed to an indica plant that will give you more potency, resin, narcotic effect, marketability, etc.

Skunk x Indica

Dr Greenthumb - G13 is a good choice too. But you need 2-3 packs, imo, to make sure you find that perfect plant. With 2-3 packs of G13 you will find something better than Green Crack. But, that's like 400-600 bucks for 6-9 fem seeds. His genetics are legit though.

I grew 2 g13s from GT and found 1 plant that I'll have as long as I'm still keeping mums. I wish I would have grown more like 6 plants though. I know there is better in that genetic pool.

Then grow only what YOU want to smoke, you clearly share the tastes of your clients then

I don't grow for anyone else anymore... but I remember most people seemed to want strong stoney plants cut about 7-10 days earlier than what most people do (mj forum norm).
I think it was about 50/50 effect/visual. When you cut earlier the buds are still that lime green and they look super pretty, they just shine. Also, I'm in that very small camp that believes a full sized mature clear trich is more potent than a full sized cloudy trich which is more potent than an amber trich.

I first came to this conclusion through experience. Then not too long ago Kite High here on RIU told me about Dr Paul Mahlberg and his studies. As far as I know he has studied the resin gland and it's potency at different times/colors far more than anyone else has.

I'm a University study or bullshit kinda guy. So I take his findings as fact for the time being. You can google him and see what he found. He extracted resin from individual glands with a micro syringe needle and measured potency. He studied and wrote papers over 30 yrs on the matter. I'm not going to speak for him, but the conclusion I came to even before reading his studies matches what he found.

I don't know if I believe the whole clear cloudy is up and energetic and amber is stoney. To me, stoney strains are stoney and up strains are up... the exception is when you cut a plant before full potency. Then, you end up with a more up high but not full potency. I'll cut some branches early because sometimes I want that.

Hank, I agree with you there. I also find a couchlock is a couchlock, a headband a headband. So personally, I harvest for flavour and smell, and I don't like leaving them too late. To me there is a VERY fine line between ripe and over-ripe. I can't taste over-ripe herb. Well I CAN but it misses a certain tang, a sparkle on the tongue. Then again, too early and it's too green for me, harsh and not quite developed, one-dimensional flavour instead of being a 3d explosion of dankness.

Potency is tertiary to me seeing as I don't sell my herb and I don't buy, the difference between smoking one bong or two really doesn't hurt my pocket. I know that from a medical perspective, the less you need the better, but I know people 60 years old and up that have smoked herb for 40 years and they are STRONG and FIT. I don't feel reefer will harm me top a point that I regret, EVER. So potency shmotency really. You want it STRONG go do some dabs lol. They always kick your nuts in.

So I also don't care what others experience from my herb, but I know it's not crap because I do trade quite a bit out for other strains to help me keep a good variety in the house, and I always get offered more than what I am giving, and I never have to go look the offers come to me.

My one bud really leaves them waaaaaay too long. Bud looks mean and really impressive, but it hardly hits and after a few weeks in the jar the flavour is gone too

Lemon skunk. Dank smoke, heavy yields. 8 weeks

 

[silasraven]

g13 is not the company to go with. its 100 plus for any pack of seeds.they have the same genetics as everyone else.

 

[madprofessor]

no one mentioned big bud?

He said he wanted 'Good' smoke!







Lemon skunk by dna has a brilliant yield of great bud. Smell not too bad either.

Delicious Seeds' Critical Kali Mist is FAST and grows huge nugs too, looks perfect for SoG. Smoke reports also all great for something both that fast to flower and overall vigorous in growth, definitely ordering some soon!!!
