parent resemblance

if you order seeds from a reputable breeder and a reliable distributor, how closely will the the purchased seeds resemble the said parents or mother?

say if you ordered a strain with a very distinct smell and taste, will all the seeds produce plants that share all of the same charachteristics as the said strain? if you order super lemon haze is it going to taste like lemons like it should?

people with actual experience please help. have you ordered a certain seed strain and it came out crap? or was it what they said it was?
 
It depends on how it's grown. Even a great strain can come out like crap. And even stress weed can be grown better. Depends on the grower.

Dutch Passion: "Approximately 70% of the plants of varieties grown from "feminized" seeds were far more uniform than plants grown from "regular" seeds of the same variety. About 20% of the varieties were a little more uniform, while in 10% of the varieties no difference in uniformity was seen."

.

My personal experience with Dutch Passion Feminized (Strawberry Cough, Blueberry, Flo, Taiga) is that if the above is true they'd better pick new parents.

I'll look around for something on regular seeds.

A strain like Serious Seeds Bubblegum (most Bubblegums) the offspring could be twins, or twins with a third plant that's like the twins if there were three. And so on for more plants, maybe two sets of twins. An In Bred Line, if I'm using the term correctly. Little Blubblegums come from momma and papa Blubblegum. As opposed to little White Russians comming from mama and papa White Widow and AK47.

In contrast, Super Strawberry Diesel by the dearly departed Elite has given me 3 distinct phenos from 4 plants, and a case could be made for the two indica phenos being far enough apart to be distinct. From regular seeds.
