Pretty new to growing but I hear a lot of dislike of certain strains such as Blue Dream and I don’t know why. Wondering what other strains people can’t stand and why.

Most commercially available lines are so closely related its past funny. The main building blocks are NL/SK/ Hz/ Afgani.
I think most are weak or have an affect i personally dont like .
Saying that what i dont like 10 others will love and value highly.
Best advice for some one starting out growing their own is this.
Research lines you may be interested in growing look for as many grow and smoke reports you can.
Once you work out what you want to grow then my advice is research and get the seed if possible from the original breeder.
The most disappointing strain for me was C99. I love sativa and was hoping for a fast flowering one. What I got was something that didn't make it either as a sativa or indica. It was ready in under 7 weeks though, but give me a 20 week sativa any day.
Telling us why you don't like Bd, would have benefited the discussion,no?

Something that I don't do, is smoke a strain until I get tired of it.
I thoroughly researched the stains I use but, more important I targeted what I use based on medicinal effects. Once "one" understands the interaction/nuances of the various terpenes contained, it is not difficult to find suitable candidates to add to your stash.
The thing I see the most on here is... where are the strains of the '70s/'80s which, in my humble opinion were cleaner. IOW, they didn't breed the shit out of them. Once again, IMHO there is a slew of breeders out there (not the renowned ones), that don't have a pea picking clue what they are doing. What is the purpose of "cross dressing" profiles (for the lack of a better word) when component A affects component B an so on and so forth. IMHO everything is about balance. "True" breeders know about this.
A lot of folks are after high THC strains, the higher the better. I am sorry... "ya missed the boat". You can either work with mother nature (who knows best) and develop strains that have profiles compatible with each other, rather than simply winging it. IOW, they have an idea of the "possible" outcome before they allow them to have sex and, then cull the phenos that don't meet said criteria. IMHO, Yin and Yang, balance is the key to good weed.
I rotate between 7 nighttime strains and 8 daytime strains, weekly, that is 56 delta combinations. Not dissimilar to changing how you work out at the gym, where every couple of weeks or so you must modify your routine in order not to develop muscle memory. (long story)
The strains I use is for targeted ailments, not necessarily the "flavour of the day". Although my med chart dictates the rotation as I am a Cancer and I am affected by the moon cycles. Every water sign is affected in one way or another, including but not limited to severity/irritability or, like mama said... what's wrong get up on the wrong side of the bed? I discovered this phenomena in '03, I don't remember how I stumbled on this discovery but when discussed with others (water signs), and when they started to chart their "moon feelings" would go "holly phoque", who would have known.
Good weed strains IMHO is the strain that gets the job done. Although my chart says I should be on x, y or z that week, depending (sometimes) on how I feel I will change it up and reach for "P" lets say. IOW you don't take a Tylenol for and upset stomach.
I have been medicating daily for 3 yrs and my tolerance has not increased significantly. I am still using 3/4g per day. My pills vary between 0.22-0.26g ea. I take 2 daytime pills a day (6 hrs apart) and one nighttime strain 2 hrs before beddy byes.
Some might find this over the top, but it is nice to go to your stash and select a strain that will cure what ails you that day.
In closing, every individual is different (body chemistry) e.g Bubba Kush is touted as a night time strain. It don't do shit for me at night and I use it as a daytime strain.
I am a med user vice a recreational user. That being said, I can target a strain for specifics even recreationally depending on which mood I am in and what I want to achieve with my high, and everything is about balance.
I personally hate growing Haze and sativa they grow like shit and I have plenty of energy from GG#4 or something that's much tastier, higher yielding, much higher calyx to leaf ratio.
Some people seem to prefer Haze, but lots of people drink White Claw.
Skunk#1 is pretty lame too, much better out there sure it's easy to grow, but you can grow an OG just as easily, why grow mid grade?
It’s not that I personally don’t like it. Smoked it before and enjoyed it. I also am wanted to grow it atleast once. I’m just new to the game and it just seems that when Blue dream is brought up, it’s kind of laughed off. Maybe it’s only a few people. Really kind of looking for cultivar stereotypes.
