The most over rated strains

cotchept said:

OG Kush has been around for 15 years in Cali. It's a little more than a hype or a flavor of the month thing. And to whoever said Trainwreck, you must have grown the GHS variety because the cut is fire.

Overrated:

Cheese - Tasty but weak
Sour Diesel - Tasty but the high last 30 mins max
Anything from Barney's or Greenhouse. I would never give those companies my money.

OG kush may well be a good strain, there are many good strains each person has their own tastes and preferences
however, the hype that has been created around OG kush is ridiculous .. and noobs buy into this hype
these types of people are known as "scene whores" or hipsters, they need to follow trends ,
they are not aware that a great plant is any plant that you are satisfied with

peace

funny how the "hype" OG Kush brought is what brought Kush strains to the forefront.

im new here, but been growing for 37 years in pa outdoors only.ive been growing the same 3 strains for 20 some years and im done in august rock hard buds no mold some years 2 week of September no later its all in the weather that year. my plants are no taller than 3 or 4 feet tall and get 1/4 lb dry weight rock hard buds. this year im adding 2 more strians but got 2 or 3 years of work to get them to do what my other strains do no mold and rock hard buds with 1/4 lb dry weight per plant and keeping them 3 to 4 feet tall and done in the end of august or 2 week sept. i see alot of people every year im growing this strian and that strian but they dont wont mold and they wont weight well thats not how to get that.if you wont weight rock hard buds and no mold plants you got work and time ahead of you once your there the work is over and you got the best buds in town, and done early,find some strains you like and stay with them and work with them then you will get what your looking for.you got to remember one thing when you buy seeds from a seed bank remember your not getting what they say from that strain for one the strain was made some were else Latitude ,Altitude,Climate and food this has alot to do with the strain you got to ADAPT that strain to your soil ,climate,laitude,altitude,and food for a couple of years then you will have a good strain no mold rock hard buds and weight.you got to hybryd the strain and seed it 100% female seeds then your good to go any ? just ask good luck happy growing i got to go got to put out my last 15 babies i just started thats right platting babies from seed end of june they will be done no later then 2 week of sept.

same 3 strains 20 some years
Panama Red
Hindu Kush
Blueberry

nobody does drugs here. YOU must be confused. lol

Tga says on the packet that their strains contain recessive genetics. If the seed are F1 crosses then you won't see any of the recessive genes till you breed them back to each other.
From what I've seen most breeders are selling F1 crosses.
They give you the genes and you have to do some work to stabilize the best mix of genetics over a few generations to produce the phenotype your chasing.
If there are multiple genetics the numbers of phenotypes will increase and the chances of getting the homozygous form of all the genetics in one plant will vastly increase. Which is why certain cuts are so prized and why some breeders will say you could get that "one in a thousand holy grail" because the chances of all those different genes being produced in one plant will be just that.
If they sold say the golden ticket pheno homogenized then everyone would have caught up to the years of work it has taken them to get that pheno and they would lose their edge.
Thats my understanding of it anyway???

If you smoked the REAL Widow, then it was not a good pheno. Chances are you smoked a fake.

I understand it is decent, but I dont agree with all of the hype over the OG's

Them talkin sounds you made sound right purdy to me.
I dunno if I'm the only person who does this, I am known for my uncommon amount of patience, but what I do when I grow a plant from seed is I grow it until it is mature enough to flower, and then I cut clones from it, right before I flower it. After cutting some clones (aerocloner made with big airstones and a good pump + olivias = 100% strike rate in 7-14 days) I induce flowering, if the plant is male I get rid of all but one clone, segregate, harvest pollen, and destroy. If it is female, I revert it to veg and when the clones are rooted I integrate them into my system. Then, based on the quality of the first clone batch, I either keep or flower the mother plant and keep in veg or destroy any male clones I have from the strain. Of course, the hybrids I have grown from seed that I made or obtained are limited to Kali Mist x Super Silver Haze and Kali Mist x Blueberry, Island Sweet Skunk x Durban Poison, and ISS x Sour Diesel, and I grew some Black Domina x Dutch Dragon and Ice x Dutch Dragon that were bred by a friend; and I can honestly say that the only disappointing thing about any of those was that all of the Kali Mist cross phenos except for one of the Blue crosses took for-fucking-ever to finish flowering. I have only recently started growing a variety of indica dominant strains, since going legit and medicinal and whatnot, because I take that pretty seriously. Personally, I don't buy into hype surrounding strains, because I know that anybody can take a good strain and fuck it up. Herb should be judged by its crystallinity, its taste, and its texture; not by whatever name joe grow has stuck on his buds. That said, I know good breeding when I see it, and as I am restocking by breeding supply, the next two strains I get will be Medicine Man and Black Widow from Mr. Nice, and I'm thinking of getting the indoor mix from Sensi. On a related note, 3.5 days in and breakin the dirt are Satori and Point of No Return from Mandala, Darkstar from TH Seeds, and the Chernobyl from TGA.

OG kush is my second most over rated strain.

Also, yes, i smoked the real White Widow from Green House Seed Co unless you're accusing them of selling fake seeds.

I've smoked pounds of high quality stuff over the past 5-6 years....the best batch of any weed i've ever picked up/grew was OG Kush. Second best was a cut of AK47 my buddy had that produced the biggest trich heads i've ever seen...

It's all subjective though. One mans trash is another mans treasure...

well said gun1 i grew a Barneys Pineapple Chunk last year and cloned 10 clones then took mother plant and sprayed her with Colloidal silver to produce male flowers/pollen sacks then Collected that pollen and pollenate the ten clones this year i started the seeds and got 3 def.phenotypes ,one is a skunk,2 some cheese smelling plant,3 a pineapple plant,all def,looking

All of barneys farms strains overrated, funny how they say all there strains are THC 25% and up

cary schellie i agree barneys farm is overrated 25% thc bullshit maybe 13% is more like it but i dident buy it for that i bought it to get new phenotype pure strain. as i said i grew a Barneys Pineapple Chunk last year and cloned 10 clones then took mother plant and sprayed her with Colloidal silver to produce male flowers/pollen sacks then Collected that pollen and pollenate the ten clones this year i started the seeds and got 3 def.phenotypes ,one is a skunk,2 some cheese smelling plant,3 a pineapple plant,all def,looking.the skunk strain that came out of it looks promising pure indica and has a skunky hash smell to it is all ready showing hairs is only june i have 3 old school strains ftom the 70s very pure strains and very strong 2 hits your wasted,same 3 strains 20 some years
Panama Red
Hindu Kush
Blueberry
i just need to add two more strains to my Collections and the skunk hash plant looks to be one of them

Yeh i followed the hype of Barneys Farm Tangerine Dream, 4 out of 5 grew and flowered but was just plain shit smoke. The seed I got free was way better Cotton candy every one loved it, Ive now got Great White Shark in the tent from Green House Seeds which I have just read is shit to, oh the joy of farming.

OG kush. the greatest rehash of all time

so far- Super lemon haze, everything else has been about as good as i thought it would be, after it's first win at the htcc i thought it was a fluke, i then saw it win again???? so i got the seeds and grew them out, not much i can say about the strain, it smells like lemon, it can be pretty finicky and yields pretty good, no way is it a cc winner IMO, "what the fuck were the judges smoking?"

really?/ i can't imagine calling any og over rated.. over hyped, sure as shit yes, but over rated?? idk about all that, every og i've grown has been some of the best smoke i have grown..
dr greenthumb's og ghost cut, number one or 2 smoke thus far, larry og from cali con, very potent as well..
og's have always delivered for me in all dpts, stone, taste and smell..

funniest shit is, majority of my favorite tga strains were not bred by subcool, chernobyl and qrazy train were not bred by him, nor were jillybean and agent orange. so i guess hating on the guy for providing polyhybrids is what the cool kids are doing these days.

1. i know people rail on subcool for making polyhybrids, but newbs would do well to start off growing subcool seeds, you can learn alot about phenotype selection just growing a 10 pack of his better strains (vortex, Jillybean or Querkle). i didn't even know he existed untill 2 years ago, tga is oversaturated on rollitup since he partakes in the forums here and publicizes his gear on his own forum(wtf? how do you get your own forum?) but you can get alot of info on his gear just from reading this site, or from all his testers on riu or greenpassion (yes he does test his gear publicly like any good breeder should do, has it available online for all to see, if you dont like what you see, you probably wont like what you grow).

i agree that there are some breeders (2 in particular on the attitude) that specialize in dank og cuttings and make them available in seed form, i grew the larry og but i didnt keep it because it hermed on me later in flower, great bud though. the blackwater i had from the same breeder was slightly better overall and did not herm.

racerboy71 said:

you think nirvana are bad, check out some of subs work.. shit, you can get 3 different pheno's out of a 10 pack of beans ffs.. but what do you expect using polyhybrids on both ends of a cross??
and yah, being that cannabis is still illegal in most places, there is no such thing as copy writing a strain name.. how many different breeders all have a version of white widow for instance?? now how many of them do you think have access to the same parents shanti used to create the og ww?? none would be my guess, yet they all have a ww in name at least..
it's really up to the grower to do their homework in the seed game.. sometimes you may have to dig deep to find out who grow the og strain, but when you find that keeper, it's so worth it..

Copyright wouldn't apply to the strains, but this is wrong. Look it up, strains can be trademarked, as AK47 from Serious Seeds is trademarked... hence, no other breeders sell AK47, but can only sell hybrids of it or "Easyryder" (the AK47 X Lowryder cross.) Serious seeds are of the few breeders worthy of a trademark if you ask me.. along with Soma, Sub and Sensi. I, myself, like Greenhouse and Nirvana as well... everything I've grown has been great so far, even bagseeds come out quite 'dank' in the hands of a good grower (I'm not saying a good grower can turn a bunk strain into chronic but you get the picture.) Anyways, yea... AK47 really is trademarked, my pack was also the only strain I've ever had that came with a serial number, a guarantee and a phone call from Serious Seeds, hahaha.
