but how much am i losing in quality buying higher volume breeders vs. taking the bullet and popping the artisan strains? i had not even onsidered getting bulk/white label....that is an option i guess. i have appreciated being able to look up other people's grows (a lot of people have grown dutch passion blueberry for example) and match mine by breeder and strain. that should be indicative of what you will end up with.
for the s1 seeds, i am worried if variability is an issue (too much/too little)? i do like to know what i am buying beforehand. long ago when doing bagseeds (mostly likely s1) i never cared, but now they cost money.
so far, i have only finished 1 or 2 fems that i would say was good enough to gloat about. even then, i just havent' seen the super caked trichs. if i did, i couldn't expect consistency. i find terps and pretty frosty buds. yield is there too. just not getting that 24%+ high. i have another batch of sampled strains going into flower this week. if i don't hit a magical plant this round maybe i go cheaper or more expensive to see the outcome.
