I m looking for some new strains for next years indoors season, and all that advertising and the trickery with the adjectives they use, to hide that their strains are just mediocre...it plain sickens me to my metal core. It seems like there is a whole new code in developement you have to decipher.
For example some of the GSC strains their seed banks claim they are the real GSC: everybody disses them for beeing small and week and slow, because despite the promised magical flavor the plants all seem to provide (according to the reviews), the yield and overall growth-rate are somewhat abysmal.
Didnt listen, bought it anyway, GSC got overshadowed quickly by all the other strains, mostly indicas.
In the description it just said average or medium yield. So what am I supposed to think about that bullshit information. That all those medium yield strains are somewhat shitty? I honestly dont know, what to think.
And there is other stuff. "Plant needs suspensions during last third of bloom" = obviously mostly sativa!!!! (even if it reads 70 indica/30 sativa 50-60 days max - and then in the summer you end up with a pheno that is 11 weeks in bloom, 12 if you want some more cbd, and is almost pure sativa...but curiously same stretch as an indica).
Another bogus thing is all the talk with the old strains and their lineage and the cool stories behind that. Lets face it: those strains are long dead. Those who recreate these vintage strains, have a good understanding of the different phenols, that those old strains posessed, and now they just use new resilient strains with similar smell and taste to recreate something that resembles those old farts. Come on people, its not a new plant. Those things smell like diesel or catpiss or berries or chocolate or pineapple for thousands of years. The more they smell the easier they are to recreate.
Its a big bullshit sandwich. Pardon me french.
So I am just looking for resiliant strains, I mean like exploding in veg and almost not growing anymore, 55 days tops and hungry and thirsty as hell all the time. I dont buy the indica/sativa bullshit with the stoned high vs. head (creative) high. That is all a lie tooooooooo.
The only code phrase I could find that matches all the aforementioned requirements remotely, I seek in a plant, is the magical "good strain for beginners". And believe me, this information is crucial. Find it out for yourself.
The opposite would be "can be a bit difficult". Not even a not for beginners in most cases. Thats how you find out, that the strain you put all your hope and money in for 6 months or more is a dud (or produces mostly duds, not here for semantics).
So if I would begin a dictionary of weed advertisement-bullshit, so some day some young fella, who wasnt a grower in the nineties, hung out with Rosskam and friends and shit, can just read a description and decipher it automatically, like a boss is able to screen out the pot smokers in the army of paupers that wanna apply.
What should I add in your opinion. Im asking for contributions.
