back then stress/brick weed/chocolate thai whatever you want to call it, it had its purpose. sometimes you'd get a really good batch with hardly any seeds and even though it was short lasting, it was a good switch up every now and then. i havent bought weed from anyone in a long time, but i used to find the random bagseed in a super killer sack, i remember when i first started growing before i got a cloning technique down i had some great strains. i had a seed pop from a really really good blueberry that was solid blue/purple, and tasted like a blueberry muffin times 100. best blueberry ever even to this date. i found 1 seed, and i popped it. i was at my parents house at the time and i put it in the backyard planter. it was such a beautiful plant. from the beginning leaf sets it already had 9 leaves, had crystals already, and purple spotted stems. no doubt it would have been great. i never flowered it cuz my dad found it and killed it.
another one i had after i had moved out was from a batch of i dont even know what it was, but it smelled like really strong blueberry mixed with bubblegum mixed with GDP mixed with sour diesel. just a very unique smell that for some reason reminded me of funfetti cake. it was amazing weed that i found the seed in. i popped it, and the plant was so weird. during the day it would prop up completely all the leaves reaching for the light. at night during lights off it would droop so bad that all the leaves would be hanging straight down against the stem. then as soon as the lights came back on it would perk up. i did get to finish that one sort of (pulled it around week 6-7). it was good weed, but i didnt know how to clone then, and my attempts were unsuccessful.
i have 'mystery weed' seeds still in the fridge. i popped one a few years back that im pretty sure was salmon creek bigbud/california orange. it hermi'd on me and pollinated a KENS gdp and a couple other strains. anyway a few months ago i planted one of those orange/gdp seeds in the yard and it turned out awesome. dense like gdp, smells like gdp, but on exhale it tastes like half orange half gdp. buds are way bigger than gdp, and she's tall and grows a lot of nodes. high yielder. my first 2 attempts to clone her were unsuccessful because i was having problems with slime in my cloner at the time (first time in 5 years, go figure). my 3rd round i got the slime cleared up, but she was already a good month into flower by that point. so i have 2 rooted clones that are taking FOREVER to revert back to veg. but once it does ill be running the 'orange daddy' inside to see how she does. hopefully little to no seeds considering half of the genetics are prone to hermi.
