The most over rated strains

Totally agree with that. The "purps" is just for bag appeal if you ask me. There probably are some really kill purple strains out there, but i'm pretty much over it. I find myself taking a liking to landraces and such. Thinks like indicas from the Ketama valley or Mazar Kush. World of seeds has some pretty cool offerings. I've found some very nice genetics on Cannazon, things that were quite far from your regular "xxxx kush" or "xxxx cheese" or "something-berry". I feel that some breeders are working with better gene pools than others, while there are some who are just in it for a quick buck. Just my .02

ANYTHING stinky or couchlocking. it all sucks

Haha! Thanks for the laugh.

Thank's for beating me to it Racer... Online or at least on RIU there is only one King of overrated.

Anything TGA is overrated... pheno selection is a "breeders" job, not the consumer. I get it you can variation with every pack of seeds by anyone, but slight variation, not 4 completely different plants. How confusing must it be for a newbie to start with 3 strains of TGA gear than go to something stable (say a Sensi, Some, Serious bean), they may even be confused and thank that the latter companies have bad beans because there wasn't variation, just one solid dank ass pheno.

lol, yah, i try to keep my sub bashing to a limited few threads and between my friends and all.. most of them know not to even mention his name around me, lol...
but i agree, pheno hunting should be up to the breeder.. they should pick the best one or two from a line and work on stabilizing them before releasing a strain.. 3 or 4 pheno's out of a 10 pack of beans is completely unacceptable to me in this day and age..
just my $.02, and what do i know??

Well, I don't mean to be a n00b, but I do not have a lot of experience with seed banks. For years, I got clones from a guy who bought all his stock from Sensi and Mr Nice, so it wasn't a particular issue. However, with my most recent attitude order I got 4 seeds from TGA with my freebies, and so I'm a little curious as to what the hate is about. In reviewing their website, I noticed that most of their stock does come from hybrids of already hybridized plants; which seems a little funky to me, but that does seem to be what the 'cool kids' are doing. Do they not stabilize at all? I am used to expecting two or three phenos out of the same seedstock, but that is mostly out of stock bred by myself or my friends, and frankly I have never had a pheno that couldn't be coaxed into producing a quality yield, as long as the parents were of suitable quality. Of course, we always grew much less hybridized plants than seem to contribute to most of subcool's strains. Do I run a real chance of getting crap from the TGA seed? I got regular seeds, and if I can't be assured of the male's quality (with only 2 seeds each I might not get a female) I don't want to bother with collecting pollen from it.

On a note related to the topic: I live in Colorado, where MMJ is legal, and in my opinion it has nearly completely ruined my enjoyment of the cannabis industry. The market is flooded with cheap shit, grown in giant warehouses, and usually sorely lacking in flushing. There are hundreds of dispensaries passing fake herb and clones off as other strains, all the while making it harder and more expensive to patients who actually need quality medicine for medicinal reasons (such as my patients) to gain access to the strains they need at actual medicinal quality. So as far as a strain being overrated, I don't think that's so much a problem in my area as a general lowering in quality, "walmartization" if you will, of the whole cannabis community. Quality bud is quality bud, and it all has different effects depending on what you are looking for.

Well, the real WW is bred by Shantibaba. Also the seeds by the GreenHouseSeeds aren't the most stable. Check around..

subcool has good weed but not stable strains some breed and some just make good crosses. breeders grow 50-200 seeds at a time for pheno selection tga dosen't have a big warehouse like some of the more advanced breeders I can build a grow room just as nice as subcools if you watch the weed nerd on youtube you will see I don't dout he grows better than me but you can make crosses just as good with a few years practice and if you work on a strain for years you can make it stable tga has around 20 strains and it takes a few years to stablize a strain judging by his breeding room hes a pollen chucker plain and simple and all his strains are the same price which tells me their all just as good and you need to go pheno hunting in all his strains don't get me wrong you can still get great phenos from him but you can also find a great pheno on your own cross
