What is THE strain to grow right now from seed?

xtsho said:

Look at some of the stuff ACE has if you want landrace strains. They have some real breeding going on. I'm in the USA but have much respect for the European breeders. ACE is the real deal. You can't go wrong with their genetics. Cannabiogen and Sensi as well. Dutch Master also. All have been around for a long time.

First ACE seed popped and it’s the healthiest plant I’ve ever seen. Is a Malawi albeit autoflower but none the less.

it’s 5 weeks old and still has its first set of leaves Seedling leaves lol

Such a strong healthy plant it can only be down the to breeder!

I will have to take it out.. the WW i grew is almost as strong as DP but is a little mellower.. DP can be a little mean sometimes

The WW i grew a few years back , really sparkly girl

Weird to see people say cookies are shit then to see people praise Durban Poison which makes up half of cookies. Then you see "OG Kush is still the king", yeah and combined with Durban Poison it's good fucking weed. Seriously, try some Archive, Exotic Genetix, Cannarado, In-House genetics, Thug Pug or even Humboldt Seed Organization (if you're not loaded). There's no reason to avoid modern crosses if you do some research first.

Durban is not in cookies, the cookies crew says it is but almost any breeder you speak to will tell you that plant has no Durban in it whatsoever.

Anything from Harry Palms or Relentless

I have never had cookies but BUT.. mixing 2 good strains doesn't mean you get a good strain. Durban is pretty much all sativa (as much as anything can be these days) adding indica to sativa to me doesn't make anything better... Indica just makes me sleep.. i would much prefer it didn't even exist honestly

Although i have had some hybrids that were nice.. i would rather have a straight sativa then a mix.. DP is almost perfect to me, no need to add stuff to it.

Yeah ive smoked cookies and many cookie crosses i never detect any Durban in it tbh my fave so far has been the animal cookies cut thats nice weed the pink cookies is nice too the rest have been ok there the only ones that stood out of that family for me

Don't like hybrids or Indica's?
We all have opinions. They are like assholes......you know the rest....

Some of the best buzz's I've ever had were all "hybrids"!
Better yet, the best came from mixing the left overs of this and that together and then smoking it. Good lord a buddy did it at his shop and we burned it.
I left after about 5 min, got about 5 min out and was instantly "lost"! Didn't know where I was, what I was doing , or where I was going....
Told myself to "Calm down,,Keep going and you will see something you remember along the way".
Sure enough, about 3 miles farther I knew where I was, remembered I was going home and made it by reminding myself what I was doing every minute or so..

Made the next 3+ hrs of TV at home rather interesting...

yeah its like youve been gassed

I sure do take alot of weed naps with my cookie sundae. But the seeds to grow now for me is grape pie bx and cocomerro gellatti

Well yeh true but there are also good breeders putting out superhybrids that sort of leave old school strains like c99 in the dirt. I seen a vid on youtube of a grow of 'space monkey' by bhodi and there was more thc than plant matter lol. Crazy. I would totally get that but seems to be sold out everywhere.. And that's not even right up to date

I mean yeh there's a lot of chuckers about but you can't honestly think that with all the selection and breeding for potency that strains aren't stronger year by year.

Again any actual recommendations welcome and not your opinion on the state of the breeding community

Go with what YOU enjoy!

As far as the best thing? It ain't coming in a seed form. At least not yet...

The other thing is? How the hell do you expect me to know your preferences? What some say is "it" may not be "it" for you!

I have an insane cut of Sundae Driver..... Will the new seeds ever have that same pheno?
Skies over Paris?
Stuffed French Toast?
Got a DAMN fine cut of Triangle! Where are seeds for that?
Candyland?

I might just have to say GG#4.....still the most requested strain I run..

Oh my, I can't forget the pheno of Platinum Banana OG from Riot, or the Bon-Bon from Smellboat!

There is NO "it" strain sir. That's my opinion.
Magazines create a stir with things like "The Ten Most Potent Strains" and even listing the winners in Cup this or Cup that.

Then just try and get the beans!

Having what someone "calls" the "it" strain. Doesn't make you a better grower...

I enjoyed a suggestion from a friend a few years back. The companies gear was always available.
Then I listed that strain and the company here in this forum.
In less then 30 days they were sold out at about every bean selling site that carried their gear!
That strain is now the hardest one to get from them...

It is still, one of the best sativa's I have ever smoked....SSSDH from Connoisseur genetics..
If by some miracle, you find it?
Spend some of your hard earned $ on that... I got my best one from a straight run pack..

Good luck

i feel like you were in my brain that day

Relentless and Bloom seed co have had the highest percentage of keepers out of anything I've tried and I've tried most of the favorites on this site. Those are the only 2 I've had troubled singling out which ones I want to keep because there are so many good plants in a pack.

Bruce The Russian , Power Africa & Unknown Orange

Dude i want opinions on current fire strains nothing more or less.
I dont even know what you are saying.. That I may as well grow northern lights because every strain these days is garbage from amateurs? What DO you base your selections on if not from the reports of others ?

I recently grew Northern Lights. It is awesome.
