The most over rated strains

In this topic, we're gonna be talking about the most over rated strains on the market.

Personally my number 1 is White Widow.

There's so much love for the White Widow all around the Internet yet is one of the worst strain i have ever smoked.

Unpopular strains are much better such as : Confidential Cheese, Ice Bomb, Sweet God or HammerHead

well this thread is going to be nothing but full of people opinions. i happen to love white widow and keep at least 1 plant of it around at all times. maybe you got a bad batch? if not its just you man

If you smoked the REAL Widow, then it was not a good pheno. Chances are you smoked a fake.

I understand it is decent, but I dont agree with all of the hype over the OG's

cheese and blueberry.

To tell you the truth I think Train wreck is overrated.I grew some out and was rather disappointed. Wasn't the kick ass weed I thought it would be.

OG kush is my second most over rated strain.

Also, yes, i smoked the real White Widow from Green House Seed Co unless you're accusing them of selling fake seeds.

Grape Stomper, Island Sweet Skunk and Durban Poison were disappointing to me. The Durban was fine I just don't like it.

so you guys are saying BLACK WIDOW is crappy then?

Absoloutly only one company sell Original GENETIC widow, green house may have the "Strain name" Not the parent stock.

Black widow is the true widow.


So yes White widow is over rated as it still relies on the cup winning tags it as with it.



By opinion most are over rated , if its an old school med user vs a not so often smoker then the opinion will be tottaly different

I never tried it and won't either.

All strains ending with Widow are banned in my book.

Uhhh yea that's exactly what people are saying. You fell victim to the name game, and half-assed stolen genetics. White Widow is their copy of Mr. Nice's Black Widow and like most if not all of what GHS offers is crap. I would try Seedsman White Widow or go for the original Black Widow. It may not be the most potent thing compared to today's hybrids, but it certainly not a strain that should be tossed in the hype barrel.

And an example to how GHS plays games with their strain names look at their Bubba Kush. They list the lineage as Bubblegum x Kush which is not true.

There is an infinite number of strains yet so few time.

I'm only able to grow 4 different strains at once so i would rather not grow a strain mixed with one i didn't like in the first place.

That's why it's important to mention not only the strain but the breeder. When I saw GHSC, I lol'd. Problem located. cn

I'd like to know. So far, i have three in my Avoid column: GreenHouse, Barneys and Nirvana. I'm not saying no good ever comes of them, but I've read about (and with Nirvana, experienced) serious inconsistency and a prevalence of lousy phenos. I've also heard that Dutch Passion is selling bunk.

The breeder I knew&loved was Bros Grimm. They are no more. I'm still looking for someone as good. cn

You still don't get it. You did not smoke the real White Widow. Green House does not sell the real White Widow. The real White Widow has been renamed Black Widow due to so many companies coming out with a White Widow. If you want to claim you smoked the real White Widow then you will need to smoke Black Widow.

So you've never experienced with GreenHouse, only read about it?

To this day, I have tried 12 strains from them and all my seeds germinated.

You know, generally, people on the Internet don't know what they are doing.

For instance, i could say the best way to germinate seeds with a hard shell would be to put them into a match box with a fine grain sand paper and shake it 30 seconds to help the water penetrate.

If i said that, I would most likely be called an idiot because all their knowledge come from other ignorant people browsing forums all day long for information instead of reading a book about it written by a reputable person such as Jorge Cervantes.
