Thanks for your deeply reasoned and experienced opinion, newbie. The sandbox is that way ->

I think it's funny you use my join date, which I note your account is barely 3 years old, to one of the communities that people that have been around since the overgrow days (as I have) would put on the lower echelon of mj forums. Google/facebook linked ads, trackers, your data potentially being mined and sold off, and don't even get me started on the amount of true noobs with sick looking plants and poorly executed setups giving out advice to other noobs.... blind leading the blind here at riu/grasscity. I only joined here to see the pictures, had no real plans to participate tbh and you're confirming why I had those plans.
I've grown thousands of seeds from around a hundred sources over the past 12 or so years, I know what's out there and who is faking the funk and who holds it. Am I some kind of growing god that is going to claim superiority in skills/knowledge over someone else even if it were true? No. I'm also not a small closet grower in a legal environment (if you are, more power to ya) so what genetics I grow/have grown is a bit more important to the overall journey than it might be to the guy that can go to the dispensary and get good shit to cover mistakes/poor decisions.
Subcool has posted publicly that he selects plants for taste, bag appeal and smell. He doesn't select for structure, potency or stability of intersex traits. He's told people that are looking for the things growers care about to lower their expectations on those characteristics when running his gear. All fact that if I felt like justifying my stance I would spend 15 minutes googling examples, you're just gonna have to take my word for it or research it yourself.
When I saw someone recommend TGA over gear from people like Karma, Chimera, RareDankness, CannaVenture, BOG, the list goes on; I had to speak up and point out the flaws in his gear. Are there some winners in TGA gear? Probably, grown full packs of 4 or 5 strains and didn't keep a single plant. Nothing was worth keeping from a potency/ease of growth standpoint.
As far as the Canadian comment goes I have a few friends up north that grow. They all grow 90s weed (tastes good, lower odor, potency lacking... more of a session type weed) or stuff from A'dam which today is still basically 90s weed. Was it in good taste? Probably not. It was a smart ass comment poking fun.
You can take or leave my input where I left it, idgaf. Telling me to gtfo and trying to invalidate my opinion based on my join date is laughable, it really is. You've got your right to be wrong in my eyes just as much as I have mine to be wrong in yours. Maybe you should take a toke of some nice GPS gear and think about the golden rule. Hopefully our next interaction will be more pleasant on both ends.
some tga gear I grew in 2008-2009, note the great bag appeal and nanners.
