Who's the most stable??

Which strains are the most stable?
And which company overall has the most stable strains?

Please everyone put in there input.

Thanks,

idk, that's kind of a tough question to answer.. imo, someone who offers some pure land race strains like maybe an afghani or hindhu kush would probably be the most stable, simply for the fact that they've grown outdoors naturally for years and years and well, you get the point..

some of the older breeders gear would be more stable imho as well.. people like mr nice seeds, sensi, and serious have been around for years and offer lots of pretty stable gear..

breeders who have nothing but polyhybrids for parent stock are the ones who are going to have less stable strains, which is pretty much tons of the newer breeders.. when you work with a huge gene pool like that, of course you're going to have plants that show lots of different characteristics imho..

It depends. Sannie offers a couple different highly stabilized lines, like Sannie's Jack which is an F7 right now and should be extremely stable, or Herijuana which is an IBL, which is about as stable as a hybrid can get. Most reputable breeders will have at least one or two strains that they have worked to at least F4, which is where you start to see a good degree of uniformity. Of course, real landrace seed is generally going to be true-breeding, or at least produce a very, very slight amount of phenotype variation; but real landrace seed is harder and harder to find these days. Basically, just look around on a seedbank and see if you can find anything worked past F4, or even better to the point of true-breeding, like Bubblegum from Serious.

I think any indica seems to be more stable than sativa, just my exp.

I would say that this is because people have generally been more interested in growing indica landraces commercially (the real Kush and other middeast/african/asian hash plant landraces) than in growing the 100% Sativas, which tend to be a real motherfucker to grow indoors, as they generally get quite large and take a very long time to flower. Consequently, many breeders have emphasized stability in their indicas, often with the SOG/commercial grower in mind, while trying to hybridize their Sativas for optimal indoor, or at least subtropical outdoor growth. Sativas are also usually a little more finicky, but that's more up to the grower than the strain. It's just very hard to provide a genuine tropical environment indoors.
