It's all good - my protest was mostly tongue in cheek...

And for all my posturing about Cdn. weed - I have none, my friends are all out, and my grow is in reveg right now, so I can't even snip a small piece for me to blaze.

So I'd love some sh*tty brick weed right now - I'm a smoke slut, and if it's gonna buzz me, I'll smoke it.

I'm a smoke slut also lol..

i dont think it was a knock at canadian weed, of course there is great weed up there. the problem is that it stays up there, all the canadian weed ive seen in the last 4-ish years has been half-way dried hay-smelling shit that looks good in a bag.

the problem is that people who couldnt grow caught on to the fact that canada had gotten a good reputation for exporting high quality weed so they started trying to do the same without knowing dick about it. so now, the good stuff stays in canada and the us only gets the shit weed. its worse than what comes out of mexico.


but on the thread topic, thats like asking what personal growers grow. different strokes for different folks. depends on many factors usually including where you are and what the market is like.
very well said

Best commercial strain hands down if you can get a hold of it is the Green Crack aka cush....Nice big fat juicy buds in only 6 weeks....~ogr

really? i havent flowered her yet but i think i have some friends who would REALLY appreciate it. she's a vigorous girl for sure, roots quick and grows sativa-dom and gets going quick!

wack strains that have a short bloom time huge yields and are mold/pest/infection resistence...... which usually means wack buds, commercial/ triples smoke is ok, but not special at all, not worth all the blood sweat & tears IMO

i get the impression that the better herb being grown in canada is mostly from BC and stays in the that general region, or at least the western half of n. america. on the east coast, all we're really getting from Canada is beasters. my understanding is that this stuff is mostly organized crime related.

the highest grade herb in nyc is all domestic -- upstate new york, vermont, new hampshire. also high quality and commercial type stuff coming for florida and cali. i do find the mexican available preferable to beasters. mexican quality(at least in cosmetic terms) has gone up recently after getting really bad for a while. more green looser stuff as oppossed to brown bricks(not that those are all bad).

if someone would actually grow real purple haze, they could probably sell it to rappers for 100 a gram or 2000 an ouce or something.

Interesting thread, comments, and opinions.

My own experience has seen most as avid smokers, so, finishing times an issue to a degree, but, was always more interesting in the product. (As they also partook themselves, so, was important), and, on a flip side, many different things run due to wanting to vary product a little (ie: Not same thing over and over and over).If a moderate yielder, then one just knows they have to run more to hit their numbers, because, of course, a business, no numbers always the target, but, not the sole driving force.

But, regarding imports, I think a lot of people don't really realize how things work, as, many consider Mexi brown brick, when not only do astounding things come through from down south, but, they're not even from Mexico to start with. It's simply a corrupt place which makes bringing in loads from elsewhere simple, and, same can be said for Canada to a degree, as there are 100 producing countries, and, as with here, every single grower/farm a different practice and product. (Most know dry /cure /packing is what really hurts a product, but, other than that, genetics are genetics, and, make no mistake, the farms of the word are well aware of how to grow and the importance of genetics. Just as anyone here can get a cut, so can someone elsewhere and vary their production. No problem, quite simple. )

I have a little knowledge and experience with bulk imports, and, have to say, I always saw nothing but the hardcore, because of course we refused everything else. You know right people down south or up north, they might have 40 different loads from 40 different places at any given time, so....

m39 hyrbrids, too much big bud and sad NL crosses are the crap that makes it way downhere to the SE
lately, the canadians have been setting up shop here in US and the quality in terms of smell/taste have vastly gone up
seems its a shiskaberry strain being grown in a warehouse/business district

You'd be surprised at how often you hear complaints in the Vancouver area of how hard it is to find good weed when the border pipe lines are flowing at max capacity. People complain that all the herb is going south for good money. Even the guy with the 2 lb crop is in on the action because the middle men are in armies scouring to make up packages and they make great money doing this. You can't even work on a construction site without someone enquiring if you know anyone who has herb in poundage.

On the flip side...

When the pipe lines tighten up due to some US heightened security, shit bottoms out here and awesome herb can be bought at rock bottom prices and for the lucky wholesaler that has a cross border connection open, he is getting shit for cheap and charging a ridiculous price stateside because of the increased demand. That's the times when the shipper is soaking down the weed before packaging real bad because it goes anyways.

These are also the times when the personal purchasers are getting their hands on the best herb and paying a decent price. Smaller growers can bag it up and make decent money over time unless they want to sell their primo for $1200 per/lb. :badday:

Here is my take on this... Growing is an artistic endever, and should be left to those who are good at it. Sales is also an artistic endever and should be handled by someone less attached to the growing part. I used to want to shoot and sell my own photography and realised that I would be better off giving someone else a cut to sell it for me.

when I think commercial, Sweet Tooth,Hash Plant,Big Bud,and the BC jamaican cut come to mind. Just thinkin about beasters makes me sick. I have deffinitley had better commercial come from mexico that was a fraction of the price of what beasters go for.

Around my way the commercial stuff (50 and 1/8, 250 a zone)is all purple kush, grandaddy and the so-called kushes. The hard to find stuff is the chemdog, deep chunk, green crack, and this stuff called cobra(?-all i know is it is straight black with crazy crystals and red hairs). But if you know the right folks you can get great deals on stuff like trainwreck, bazooka joe, and mendo madness(200 a zone, 3k on the elbows). A ton of stuff flows down from the triangle so we get it all, just depending on what time of day it is.

why would someone pay 3k for a bo when you could get a zone for 2 bills? $200 dollar difference I dont think so man. Maybe more like 4 bills a zone
