What's your go-to breeder nowadays?

I used to do the pop 50 seeds and pick a winner thing. Then I started buying clones off people that pheno hunt 1,000 seeds.

What I get now is this. For any strain I can get that elusive pheno with the rare terps. Except it’s also more vigorous, yields more, and finishes faster than any random example of that strain.

For those days of growing you remember then Verdant Green, boutique breeder on here with some great crosses and original genetics.

old school and haze hybrids then Connoisseur genetics but as mentioned not worked lines, genuine genetics though.

I advise those on my experience. There are others

Mamiko Seeds
Humboldt Seed Org

I have mixed feelings about Karma, I would try the fems if time & life would allow it.
Connoisseur Genetics also comes to mind if you can afford to hunt many packs as most are unworked crosses
Stay away from TruCanna Genetics imo
Bro my packs i near guarantee something special from 1 pack, definitely dont need multiple packs,if not and you documented it online hit me up for another pack.
Obviously more packs for a hunt the more you see .

But yes my strains are mainly hybrids and multiple phenos

have you run any of my seed packs ?

I hate to preach for myself but I run packs after packs with my crew and find winners every pack.
Don't get me wrong you might not win one time on 1 pack( I'm not saying im special just i do use special genetics every project) but il happily send another pack to a customer if he didn't find at least 1 special plant a pack.

Let that be known, and written openly online for any customers to see this and hit me up.
I want to hear if your not happy and il try make it right however I can.

Most of Ace strains are thoroughly worked for indoors or outdoors growing. From indicas like Bubba Kush x PCK, hybrids like Kali China to sativas like Zamaldelica.
Some strains like New Caledonia are landrace strains that have been cleaned up.
You should look them up on their forum on this site.
the New Caledonia is not a landrace.
Ace lies about what they sell and even if it is good , I don’t support deceptive people

Thanks everyone for suggestions, I found some interesting stuff while checking websites of breeders you suggested.

Ya, I'd love to make my own seeds as a couple of you suggested.
However, I don't have much space for growing(indoors) so running 20-30 plants to find a keeper is not possible. Also, here you're still getting a lengthy vacation in prison if you get caught growing, and having a bunch of plants for selection is too much of a risk. Guess his honor wouldn't have much understanding for my little hobby :D

That being said, I guess I'll curb my enthusiasms, get a pack or two of decent beans and grow some solid weed. If I figure out those damn LED lights :D

Well that´s a bold statement. How have you come to this conclusion? And why should they lie? They have landraces, landrace crosses and crosses with dutch genetics.

its not bold at all. New Caledonia has no landraces . you believing that there is proves my point about deception and marketing strategies By Ace.
do some research and you will find that dubi is a well known liar.
im not saying that you won’t find anything good in what they sell. I’m saying that dubi straight up lies about many of his varieties origins .

Nspecta from CSI Humboldt is pure integrity . no lies and no deception .
great genetics that you can rely on being the real deal. And incredible generosity

opposite business strategies

CSI also has landraces .
Burmese
Mangobiche
Panama Red (the CBG version before ace added indica to it )
Uzbekistan
Deep Chunk etc.

Unless you are looking for something special like a longflowering sativa, some old lost strain or a landrace, I wouldn't bother to buy expensive brands.

Most cheap seedbanks (Nirvana, Seedstockers, Female Seeds, Vision Seeds, etc.) provide perfectly good genetics, probably all bred and bought in Spain these days - where most of the breeding is done these days.

If you do some pheno hunting, its not hard to find something worth keeping.

Ace sells a pure Thai landrace and oth which is also a pure landrace closely related to Colombian.
No one else is selling any tested pure landrace that I’ve found, those two are all that’s left. If anyone knows of any others available I’d love to know where I can find them.

I suggest you have your plants dna tested if you’re interested in preserving landraces, if you’ve got any that are none gmo they’re literally the last dodo in a world full of Kentucky fried chicken.

If you don’t have access to dna testing then the presence of cbd is a big give away, no pure none gmo landrace plant unrelated to skunk og or hemp has yet been found to contain any cbd at all.

Maybe the real seed company Afghan 90 and a couple of the prempavee offerings but until they’re tested I seriously doubt it.
Nothing collected recently is pure unless you get really lucky with Thai or Laos.

ACE don't sell it as a landrace though right?




the story is not consistent with Caledonia

“It is a 100% Sativa variety, an exotic landrace with enormous vigour and great qualities. Ace Seeds claims "the best pure native Sativa we have offered in many years".’

sold on seed distribution sites as pure but:

“We received different separate seed lots, being lots A and B the ones that had more seeds and the ones we decided to germinate first to explore the genetics. We started 50 seeds from batch A and 50 seeds from batch B indoors under LEDs. Those from batch A germinated quite well (80%, 40 plants), while from lot B only about 20 seeds germinated.

Of the approx 60 plants in total that have germinated, most of them (more than 95%, both from batch A and B) showed a pure sativa tropical profile, without indica influence”
