Am I the only person here convinced that schwag has amazing potential?

The best bud i've ever smoked was properly grown schwag... It had a juicy fruit smell with an amazing cerebral/energy high. I've smelt hints of this in much of the fresh swag i've come across since. Do you think an all schwag outdoor plot, maybe 20 plants, would be worth messing with? I could pull males in late July and properly cure it... Anybody else believe this Mexican schwag has some great potential?

no..............

I've grown bag seeds man, there is potential but not as much potential as a well bred strain with proper genetics. They exist for a reason.

Depends. schwag means shitty grower. nothing should be schwag if you grow it out right. I've had bagseed perform leaps and bounds better than some of the stuff that i paid for. Some seeds has potential.

Well the bags I get are super dank. So if it has a seed I normally know the name already. So it's it still bag seed? Technically yet but it's still top quality genetics.
I think what your referring to is the common Mexican sativa, which Ive seen grown out to its potential which is pretty damn good. It was given the name Sugar Momma, and used mostly for breeding and crossing.

To be fair, some of today's modern "super" strains have genetics that can be traced back to Mexican sativas. For example, the famous Skunk #1 was part Acapulco gold, and its the forerunner of lots of popular strains from today, including all the "cheese" strains. There is no rule that says that the stuff from Mexico *has* to be lousy.

The biggest rap against cheap Mexican stuff isn't that the plants themselves are no good, its that they're basically allowed to grow wild, get seeded, then get cured quickly, then squished into bricks for smuggling. The bricks get shipped thousands of miles, under suboptimal conditions. Take the same plants, only grow them properly without males until they are truly mature, harvest and cure them right, and you can have some really nice stuff.

That's cool if you got what you want out of it. All I'm saying is if you fuck around with random (even dank bag seeds) you're bound to run into issues you won't hit running with established strains. With bag seeds you don't know how they'll respond to nutes, if they are best bred indoors our out (try growing a landrace sativa inside - yikes), flowering period, percentage indy/sativa, ect. Plus you're bound to get some hermis along the way. Especially if its good outdoor weed that could have been left to sit longer than it should have and produced male flowers and self pollinated. This will most likely give hermi seeds. I'm just sayin, there is potential but when you can hop on a website and pic and mix through hundreds of well established strains looking for exactly what you want to grow ... why not.

breeder seeds are generally tested and bred for specific qualities. if u want specific qualities then go through a breeder. but if you are just lookin for some potentially good smoke, then run the unknown bag seed, you never know, you may find a real gem.

but if your growing for specific qualities, then it could be quite some work on your part before you achieve that goal.

good luck!
