how you think we get shit from overseas and shit? from a seed in a bag they bought overseas |
Not all strains were created from bagseed. Breeders have traveled across the world--to Africa, the Caribbean, south east Asia, etc--to find land race seeds to add to their breeding stock.
Individual cannabis strains have been selectively bred over dozens if not hundreds of generations to maximize individual traits of interest to the breeder, such as yield, potency, time to harvest, etc. To imply that all strains are the same is like saying all dog breeds are the same because they were all originally bred from wolves. Daschunds and grey hounds are both breeds of dogs and I know which one I'm putting my money on at the track.
This is not to say you might not get some great phenos from bagseed (especially if the bags are CA medical grade) but it's more of a crap shoot. Buying seeds from reputable dealers should take a lot of the luck out. Seeds from reputable dealers will yield more consistent phenos. F1 hybrids will also tend to grow faster and yield more than either of the parents.
