Although I learned the majority of my knowledge in the west coast, I got my start in FL and have tons of respect for the underground growers and breeders doing their thing.
I couldn't agree more with your statement. The White is a prime breeding candidate. Let's be honest, most of us here don't mark bag appeal as important for our head stash but that's what the people want. Take a strain with some super stank and breed it with the white and you could find a good daughter.
Years back when the purple craze was big, we had 2 powerhouse strains that yielded well and were acclimated to the local climate. Most people in the area used them. One was purple, one was not. The purple one was much less potent and didn't smell or taste anywhere near as good as the other. Guess what sold first?
I can appreciate the bag appeal but the effects and taste are what I judge a strain on.
AGREED!
