What's your go-to breeder nowadays?

genetics do play a role some what . 100 kids with lebrons genes , gives a better chance of finding the athlete winner than 100 different random people, even if they had same ratio of winners as the lebron line.

and jordan is the real king
You’re totally right. But I’m not buying 100 seeds from the guys charging $200 for 10.

Well it didn’t take long for this thread to turn into a dumpster fire :ROFLMAO:
Jeeez, sure it didn't, it escalated quickly! :LOL:

OP will be happily surprised about all the replies..
until he visits the thread.

I'm happy to provide a platform for stoners to bicker about irrelevant shit as they're passing time after getting fucked up on their favorite stash! I'm almost honored...

Ace Seeds.

I have been impressed by everything of theirs which I've grown.

Also, who else has so many hybrids of the elusive A5 Haze?

Ya, more I look into them, more I find their stuff interesting, at least on paper. Would be a lot of fun to cross some of the stuff they have, to see what would you end up with.
Also, as someone who likes a KO weed in nighttime, their Kush x Chitral is something I'd be happy to grow.

It's not A5, but Todd McCormick has some old school Haze varieties, along with many other interesting things. Only available in the US thou...

I’ve got more keepers buying bulk generic seeds from seedsupreme than from buying 10 and 12 packs from 10+ different big name breeders.

It’s a numbers game. Lebron James parents can have 1,000,000 kids, none as good as Lebron.

So it works like this. You’d get a better athlete by sorting through 100 random people than by having Lebron James parents make 10 more kids to sort.

For what it’s worth I have extremely high standards for keepers. They need to be the smelliest, fastest, highest yielding, most potent example of that variety I’ve ever seen.
Yeah but what brands did you try so people can know ?

I'm curious too because those numbers are crazy.
Please name the 10+ big different breeders so people know. Might be helpful for some.

does this level of ignorance deserve a response?

Also 100 seed hunt and there a huge discount offered , so definitely never 10 x 100-200 or whatever, not with me anyway.

Bulk deals on 100 seeds direct from breeder won't be much more than these cheap bulk seeds , and definitely worth if to go directly to a breeder if you can

With Ace, the description on the website is always corresponds with reality. There also is a very vibrant forum in this site where the breeder very often is part of the discussion. For me, that makes growing the strains much more interesting.

If you want easy to grow knock out weed, you could also just get some Sensi Star from Paradise or Aurora Indica from Nirvana. They will be available in all seeds shops in Adam.

there it says landrace.
yes, ace seeds do publish a lot of data which is great.
ok, i guess you guys were right... it says "landrace" right there in the web description.

but idk... seems far fetched to imagine him grinning evily while counting his money he knows he scammed from us all, you don't think it could be a case of loose definitions in the weed community?

seriously, he's gonna deceive us all with fake history of new caledonia HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE DUPED BY DUBI TO THINK N.C. HAS LANDRACES?!?! OH, THE HUMANITY...

seriously, that's enough for the dude up there to consider him a lying, shady businessman? not convinced it was for evil purposes, but whatever

Its straight up deception.
here is another
“Our Malawi is the most powerful and psychedelic landrace sativa we know of.’
it’s actually a multi hybrid
i guess that does kinda suck to call it a landrace, it's clearly been worked A LOT.

are you saying it has indica genes?

aside from the shorter flowering times, chunkier buds, not as clear a high as a sativa is thought to be supposed to have... are there indications it has indica or commercial hybrid in it?

Just saying, without knowing the analytical methods how they validated them and what the measurenent error is those numbers are pointless.
I have a crystal ball that also produces numbers to put on your strain description.
????
the lab is typically published on those types of results, and i think most or all on the site do say who did it... are you saying ANY lab test is considered uninformative if it doesn't include a sheet getting specific on the lab methods?

it doesn't though...

edit: for some odd reason it does in the screen shot for the link but not on the actual page...

truuuuuuuuue^^^^

lol makes sense.

i still think it's much less egregious to say n.c. is a landrace than it is to say the same of malawi

the descriptions do not correspond , ample evidence has been given to show that.
Dubi is not a breeder. Does he even grow weed himself anymore?

his job is marketing and he is very good at.
outside of that role he has a very different (right wing) persona

im saying that it definitely has indica genes .

more importantly are there any indications that it from Malawi at all?

it was acquired in Europe and if you want to believe Phylos it is directly related to A5

Yes, analytical chemistry is difficult and expensive. You can hunt artifacts or report ghost peaks as content. If it is done under a quality management system like ISO 17025 then there's a good confidence in the results. If it is done according to house standard it can be good enough (e.g. if the lab is ISO certified but not the method used) or it can be worth less than the paper it is written on, who knows.
As an illustration: the police in berlin seizes the most potent weed in the world. 2011 they tested flower at 44 % THC. Every year they find flower with > 30 %. Is Berlin the hidden capital of weed growers? Maybe, or the analytical method is error-prone.

But quality assurance is expensive and anything goes with weed as long as your marketing is on par.
Reporting terpene content was a marketing instrument introduced by pruf. There is no reason to believe it is of any value (just an aside).

We have done this. They couldn't advertise what the seedbanks stocked, with any sort of lower pricing. What we wanted was a weight though. Not a large weight, but still, a different level of trade.
