Been here on RIU for a bit and been green growing for years but I thought generating a thread of the SHIT STRAINS each of you growers have encountered..... thanks @pop22 for the idea.

Each grower have constantly stated the strains they love , but what about the over hyped , shit breeding , lousy performance and less than stellar stuff ? .... Breeding has hit highs and lows over the decades , reach out and tell us about your experiences. No matter sativas , hybrids or Indy , you tell us.

Tell us about how they ran , yielded, problems , etc.

I’m asking about seedbank offerings and known breeders only , not your custom cuts.
Believe me , there are “ breeder bunk l floating out there ..... let’s hear it.


I’ll start ....

Barney’s Blue Cheese ..... runty shit
Tangerine Dream ....... horrible smoke

Damn near every strain out there has a killer pheno, so you want to make a list of folks that have not found a good pheno in what strain. Unless a guy is running at least 50 even then though. I have a strain that I pulled a unreal winner out of yrs ago, I have popped 150 of them since and haven't found one like it yet, got frustrated and moved on but I will go back and keep popping those one day cause I want somthing like what I had yrs back. There are no bad strains only bad phenos

Sweet Seeds Ice Cool absolute shit! out of a 5 pack I had 3 Stunted mutants, one of them died ans 2 never sprouted. I grew them out just for giggles. Forked stems started with the first true leaves never got branches never exceeded 8" in height, some leaves only had 2 blades. And to top it off the bud sucked!

I also has one of their Red Poison was one of the weirdest mutant plants I've ever seen. Didn't even bother to try the bud it was a waste of space! Now I'm not knocking Sweet Seeds, I loev their Green Poison and their Trainwreck but they need better quality control!

GG4 from Tony Tortured Beans (or what ever he calls his shit). Popped a pack, all hermied and grew stupid looking, tiny buds. Buds grew out of leaves and shit. Terrible. It did lead me to try some Bodhi, and I’m not looking back, lol.
I was also,jazzed for the Fruity Pebbles OG, can’t remember the breeder. It wasn’t a mess like the GG, but I just cut down the last of it and won’t grow it again. It doesn’t finish, has no smell or taste.

Nirvana Bubbleicious grew well and smelled good, until it stopped, right in it's tracks. Too leafy, harvested, sampled and didn't get high. The only plant I've grown that didn't get me high. A waste every way.

These are all strains I ran entire packs of but I've had more then I can remember single duds out of hundreds of packs.

Green crack from sick meds was worst ever for me, purple crap I called it.
Chemdawg 4 from greenthumb was garbage. Low potency no flavor
East coast super sour diesel haze from connoisseur was bunk, grew like a monster but was shit
Golden Lemon from DNA, worst DNA strain with bad marks for exodus kush and kushberry also from them.

Barney's farm amnesia lemon. Pop'd 2 out of 10. Two different phenos.
Both blah.
Little to no trich coverage.
Generic weed smell(bullshit terps/terpless?)
big pheno yeilded great big fluffy nugs of bullshit.
stoney high with a short shelflife.
Debating on if I should run the rest of the 9 beans left.

There are plenty of growers pop some beans based on reviews , chatter and such.
Just your own personal opinions on the cuts you really DID NOT LIKE.
Pineapple Slick auto, original sensible seed company... Bought 5 got 2 free... Put em in root cubes and they never popped... Got the run around from them... Out of the 15 seeds i got 3 went the distance... The skunk auto is some fire though... On my last jar of it now!!! I will never order from them again!!!

Dying Breed and their Orange Drank F2s. Hard hermis, although I will say there was one that had some very citrusy terps. I got the pack for 80$ so I didn’t feel too bad, but it sucks for the people who paid 250$+ when they came out.

As far as cuts, I think Blue Dream has always been shitty. I know it’s a bit of a meme to hate on now, but I hated it even when popular several years ago.
