How do you decide what beans to pop?

What are your top choices for that?? Personally, I've never really gotten any "relief" from pain with canna, but admittedly I haven't tried much beyond high THC types. ..?? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

get a little cbd in your life.
Harlequin or CannaTsu, both in the 10/5 cbd to thc range, give relief to my hands.
its cumulative, can take a few days or longer to really feel it.
Too many years employed as a tool using mammal who could fix stuff.
Ive had excellent vomiting/nausea relief as well.
as with all things, your mileage may vary.

Everything I’ve run from Twenty20 and Ethos are as described. Just harvested 2 Ethos Mandarin Zkittlez R1 that smell and taste like orange skittles and Tang. Didn’t get the lavender purple in the pic but definitely worth it… and multiverse beans has a sale on for that cultivar. 5 and 10 pk fem-photos 51 and 83$ respectively

I like 20/20 so far from what Ive seen. Im currently growing out 3 of their MSG autos. Very pleased with the genetics. Smells vary a little more than I like, and smell is pungent and unique. Ive pollinated them with Grandaddy Purple Pollen to see what I can come up with for a cool cross.

I used to just go by eye and what Im feeling. I have three large bags of seeds Ive collected over the years. I usually never make it to the third bag and 50% of the time I was done picking before the second bag. Now Im on the hunt for that killer roadkill skunk burn your eyes pheno, that elusive bitch, so now I pick smelly strains to cross with and grow out males, and also grow out some of my own crosses.

This indoor run I have Strong Skunk and Early Top Skunk, plus a couple of Autos I threw in. So far these skunks are growing amazing. 3rd Week into flower.

bra deciding what beans too pop is easy its all about the strains that i used too smoke as a teenager the og kush the bubba kush like imagine growing some of katsu's pre 98 bubba! omegaw! or some real legit og kush! like bra i dont care about any other strains besides these 2 lol

Moving forward I'm going to stay away from the hype machine. Going back to tried and true breeders who aren't pumping out multiple strains every month.

Lay out your seed packs on this and crank the wheel!

Quack, quack!

It’s hard, I’ll usually have a rough idea depending on what the previous run was.

Often I’ll open up the stash, convince myself of what I’m popping and last minute put them all away again for a few days, only to repeat the process. This goes on for a couple of weeks haha.

Normally 2 packs with a minimum of 6 to 8 seeds from each, or I find I don’t return to that pack unless something amazing was found.

I catch your drift, trust me. I got 24 Master Kush seeds in my freezer that I am really hoping will take me back to my youth.

I was in a position where I didnt choose what I got, but I got lots of good weed when I didnt have any responsibilities besides showing up to school, so I dont have many memorable smokes. Blue dream was good, and I got it often. Trainwreck, green crack, and sour d were all bangers, but there are 4 that really mean something to me. Pineapple, Master Kush, Choc Thai, and White Widow. Pineapple was the right smoke at the right time to make a real impression. I think the PF I grow now is better, but nothing beats nostalgia. The other 3 are near and dear because my mentor grew them. He had a MK tree in his grow with a trunk the size of my neck! Mind you, I have no idea how sure he was that his seed stock was legit, but holy fuck could he grow good weed.

I will find those classic strains. Right now Im navigating the wild world of breeders and their genetics. I havent even scratched the surface in terms of flowered product, but Ill get there. Hopefully, Ill find those classic strains along the way, and gain the skill to bring out their best.

My dumb ass gets "overzealous" when I'm into something. Case in point: i LOOOOOVE Peanut Butter Breath. Killer strain. So I'm like "cool, let's grow ALL PBB plants and nothing else" . .. so now my entire plant count is all different versions of PBB. No real variety. It's almost boring now.

I run 5 week perpetual so 10 harvests a year. Pretty much just randomly pick stuff to fill my veg tent then whatever is big enough goes in the flower tents

In the interest of what the hell, I have decided this year's run will now have an added twist. Failed breeders hits that didn't. Orange Poison (now in flower going outside), Blueberry Ghost Cookies, and Cherry Pie Kush Breath. The last 2 are relatively quick and mostly indica. CPKB once sold for $300 for 7 seeds. I have one more I could run but I'm going to hold the Citrus Farmer back this year. Citrus Farmer is a 30%+ THC strain that I think I'm going to hold until I run 16 wk Durban Poison and Santa Marta Gold.

Just a heads up. The guy I bought SSH and Durban Poison from was also growing Thai Stick. He, the same as I, live in So. Cal so we have a long season. He was antsy about the Thai at 24 wks. Maybe Chocolate makes a difference.

The chocolate thai we grew had 14 weeks of flower in hydro. This is part of the reason I am a bit skeptical of his sources.

Thats awesome! How was the thai stick smoke? Was it called thai stick or was it the landrace used for thai sticks?

Not a help thread, just curious how people decide what they're going to grow?

For me it's all about what I'm feeling at the time. Last grow was all pineapple fields, about 5 or 6 seeds, of the ones that popped, I grew and flowered 2 ladies for about 2 runs.

This time around I have 19 plants in veg, 11 DLA 9 from Bohdi, and 8 Consumption x choc thai from AKBB.

Next bean run is either going to be more Pineapple Fields and some Todd Mccormick gear, either NL5 or the ON Haze x NL5 or the Trainwreck x NL5. Unless I change my mind lol

How do yall decide what beans to pop?

Thank you for your time. - TB

Just curious what your smoke report for the Pineapple Fields was like? Considering ordering some beans.

Fucking love it.

I have a handful of flower cycles under my belt, and my name is tolerance break for a reason, so keep all of that in mind. I absolutely love PF. Its a longer flowering plant, the buds are a bit airy, and she will foxtail, but god damn she takes me wherever I want to go. Ive grown 2 phenos with noticibly different bud and branch structures, one with light branching, one just a fucking stalk of buds, perfect for SOG. The highs are very similar, one has a rotten fruit smell, the other I cant quite put my finger on. I grow hydro, so I dont think I bring out the most of the terps, but its stinky and loud. Perfect yard work, video game, or introspective weed. I can take a hit and get a little funky or smoke half a J and get sky high instantly, then settle into a chill stone. I will say after 2 years of smoking PF exclusively, I have a bit of a tolerance to the strain, but shes still my go to.

I am getting a clone back from a friend in a few days, so Ill be making room in the schedule for a flower cycle next year. I have 20 beans in the freezer along with Super Pineapple Haze (Pineapple fields x Super Silver Haze) from Dynasty, and I like to think Ill always have some Pineapple in rotation.

I also just got an order placed for some SSH and Moose and Lobsta from Professor P (Dynasty/Relic)

Hes up there with AKBB and AG seed co in terms of go to breeders for me.

For me it’s easy, I’m always gonna pop something with Chem in it.

PopAndSonGrows said:

For me, I kinda feel out "what weed do I feel like smoking? Fruity, savory, skunky/funky, etc?" and I look for something in my bean stash that fits the bill.

My problem is, I change my mind more than a hungry pregnant teenager lol! So, what I decide on growing next will likely change at a moment's notice.

For me it’s also what kind of weed do I wanna smoke, answer always the same. Something with the Dog in it lol

Awesome. Thanks for taking the time. I think you've sold me on getting some.
