What beans are you popping in the year of our lord- 2021?

Hey all. I don’t post here often but I have spent a good amount of time reading these (and other) forums. I used to be active back in the day over on overgrow (the original site, not the new one) and ICmag.

Had a question but wasn’t sure where to post it and didn’t want to ruffle any feathers starting a new thread for a question that’s probably been asked a million times over.
If there’s a better spot to ask this question, please let me k

I am looking to order some seeds. I haven’t ordered in probably 5yrs or more. I’ve done a bunch of reading here (and elsewhere) and I’d like to try some of these new popular strains/breeders that everyone seems to recommend but I am feeling really overwhelmed by the sheer amount of new varieties these popular breeders have. And most seedbanks just seems to list the name of the strain/cross with little to no description. So i’ll start researching the strain, and then go to sites like seedfinder (etc) to look up the lineage, which just sends me down a new rabbit hole.

Id love some help.

Ive been looking at the popular breeders like Cannarado, In house, sin city, dungeon vault, Envy, Archive, compound, thug pug, swamp boys, etc. but as I mentioned, most have a crazy amount of strains and I’m having trouble narrowing it down to the ones that will fit my preferences.
I also don’t really use Instagram and it seems like that’s where a lot of these newer breeders post all their info.



I prefer indica dominant or hybrid strains that are on the more relaxing side (ie: not anxiety inducing).

I also prioritize taste and smell above sheer potency (though I still enjoy potent strains).

I don’t really like strains that taste like pure lemons. Lemon tasting strains always seem to trigger anxiety for me. I don’t know if it’s just because of my experiences with super silver haze and it’s now just in my head that any strain that tastes like lemons will give me anxiety like SSH or what. I know some people say limonene helps anxiety but that hasn’t been m6 experience.

Im also not big on the citrus or generic fruity tasting strains (like skunk 1 or heavy duty fruity types. Even the goji OG (which I know is popular) wasn’t a favorite for me, taste wise). I don’t mind if it has hints of citrus but just not dominant.

Though I do LOVE grape and blueberry strains (blueberry crosses and purple urkle have also worked well for my anxiety in the past).

I love skunky strains too (but they’re not always the best for anxiety), or just stinky strains in general.

I really want something that is super tasty and just coats your mouth, something with a nice strong smell (that isn’t citrus or lemon or fruity in general unless it’s grape or blueberry, which I love), super frosty/high bag appeal (I know, doesn’t everybody!) and ideally something that’s good for anxiety and calming the nerves since I have issues with anxiety and anxiety attacks.

Do any of these new popular strains fit that bill?

If anyone could even just help narrow down the list of strains/crosses I should look for that would also be helpful, or even the crosses to avoid.

-slurricane.
-Grape Blow from envy sounds like it might be up my alley.
-Dubble grape from Cannarado looks like fire but I don’t know if it would fit my needs.
-Blue power from sin city also sounds very interesting.
-ShowGirls from sin city
-candy cane (in house)
-purple urkle s1 from CSI humboldt (any good?)
-some type of Girl Scout cookies, but there are just an insane amount of them out there.

Packs of seeds have gotten super expensive compared to the last time I was looking at seeds. It seems like a lot of these breeders are charging 150-200+ for a pack of seeds.
That really limits the number of packs I can afford to try right now.
I can only really order a couple/few at those prices, so I really want to try and get it right.

appreciate any help. If you need any more info let me know.
I know I’m late, but I’m growing showgirls right now and it’s daaaaaaaaaaank!!!! I didn’t take any cuts and it’s so dank I’m thinking of buying another pack

Nice job drawing attention to something most of us hadn't thought about in over a year. There's a lounge section for arguing over religious belief... or the lack thereof.

In the meantime, Lord Rama aside it ain't 2021 anymore, unless you have a time machine this thread is old news.

Year of our lord was just a reference to Fear In Loathing in Las Vegas...

"Never mind. Let's get right to the heart of this thing. Twenty-four hours ago we were sitting in the Pogo Lounge of the Beverly Heights Hotel, in the patio section of course, drinking Singapore Slings with mescal on the side, hiding from the brutish realities of this foul year of Our Lord, nineteen-hundred and seventy one..."

Mic drop. Yup. As a devout agnostic this thread didn’t trigger me in the least. Never questioned why that was the title, thanks for encouraging @Dividedsky to explain himself. I encourage you to think before making judgemental comments though about perceived religious beliefs. Maybe do some psychedelics or something, it’s far easier to love than fear.
