greenhouse el nino was the worst strain i've ever bought. my friend who grows in soil and i both tried packs, by far the worst females i've ever seen, almost zero resin content, franco/gh didn't seem to care much when brought to their attention, they're probably used to it lol

Nirvana:A few of my friends has grown Nirvana strains,and not one of them was descent(roughly said).Enormous difference on plant species.I have only tried NLxBB from Nirvana,and it was not so good.Extreme differences again.Weak.

lol, your friends need glasses and grow classes. saying nirvana is "weak" is like saying water sucks because you got sick drinking from a murky stream. nirvana strains do have more variation, but for 25% or less $$$ than the hyped up breeders. besides, if you're looking for a clone, go buy a clone! variety is the spice of life my friend, and you aren't going to find anything unique buying clones that everyone is already growing.

First bad review of Female Seeds NL I've heard! What was wrong with the ones you had?

The people complained about the ecsd high not lasting very long aren't flowering their plants long enough. The high is shortlived if taken early at 70-75 days but leave her 85 or even 90 and there is nothing weak or short-lived about the high at all. Rez's SD IBL is good and the ECSD pheno looks just like the clone but it lacks a little bit of the punch of the original and the taste is not quite as strong, but it's a good facsimile.

Most disappointing seeds I've grown recently were reeferman's G13. Supposed to be a highly inbred version of Airborne's cut and it is rubbish, plants have thin leaves and don't look very afghani at all, has a weak lemon smell, mediocre potency, resin, taste and smell, in fact, can't remember the last time I grew plants that we so mediocre.

Green House Seeds ....... it was so mild .... nothing like the description "Effect: very strong body effect, stoned and long lasting" .... in truth it was the opposite, all 6 plants

Just what I found mate and I've grown 100's of strains .... if your GWS is a killer then good for you

I'm not going there, too negative BUT the best strain I have run from seed (other than my own creation Limon) is Rezdog's Double Sour Diesel.

rite o mate, that was a tad harsh of me 'n' now that i got it out of me, I might be of service to some. thanks for checkin' me on the negivity! I've also had some great luck with my own chops. but I call it luck a'cause i'm a gut drummer, not a pro breeder. how do some do it? gives me a headache tryin' ta track it all!

Find the right strain that you just cant live without, grow it in a controled enviroment, when it buds, cut the buds off when ready, then revegitate a couple of weeks, then rebud the same plant again and again and again etc........It wont die under the right conditions. I'm fixin to light up some ak47xbubblicious. UMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

To me C99 from WallyDuck was a disappointment. First there were issues with germinating. I had serious PM problems during all periods of the grow. PM loves C99. After three months of curing I can say it's an average smoke. It's far from what I've read on these forums about C99.

EDIT:
I found a better pheno among 4 ladies. I will give this her a second run.

Soma Lavender.... advertised as an 'indica' variety. It grows tall, spindly, sprawls all over the place and has narrow leaves. Sound like and 'indica'? The buzz is ok, but the buds are very whispy and very low density. I only grew 1 of them, so it might have been the particular pheno I ended out with. The only extremely favorable grow/smoke reports on the strain are from Soma himself.

Just read this entire thread and the one name that was mentioned WAY more than any other was DP Blueberry. One wonders how on earth this strain became so popular in the first place?


I know...some "guest troll" in the early pages said that you were retarted if you couldn't grow DP BBerry well. Well, the strain sucked dick...hermies all day long. Sucked ass. I got a bagseed BBerry that blows that shit out of the water....and who knows what random asshole produced that. It came free with the weed, no ordering or money orders or worries involved:)

i have grown cuts of all cox plants. week plants with hermi problems. Same with xyz c99.

In last 5 years i have grown cca 100 diferrent strains, and was disapointed with at least 50% of strains, the list is to long :D
But on the other hand i was very pleased with crosses from private breeders, IMO 1000% better
Ask yourself where are breeders offical test grows. I dont see them :D
there are just from few corect breeders

Big problems are old stock & untested crosses

peace
 
Worst strain for me was Blue Mystic. Great yield but no taste for me. In fairness only had 10 beans. But I definitely had a keeper from Papaya and NL/BB. So I'm not knocking Nirvana. But I also had 10 Bubblicious that didn't germ. So that was a lil disappointing but I didn't have germ issues w any of the other stuff.
