Hey guys!
I am looking for seeds that will give very tasty flowers with strong effects and a clear personality. My favorite strains up to now are the og kush hybrids and chem family that were famous 10+ years ago. I grow 2-3 strains from seed per run, so the choice of seeds is essential!
I used to grow back in 2012-2014 back then I tried a few breeders (green house, barneys farm, dutch passion, spliff seeds, sweet seeds, reserva privada, DNA genetics, rare dankness, paradise seeds....). I found nearly all seeds gave pretty average flowers, however I was lucky enough to try the og#18 and 21 seeds gave me the 21 best plants I have ever had. Very strong penetrating smell/taste and effects that were deep lasting around 6 hours with a strong euphoria (and increase in bpm) for the first 30 minutes. I used to grow them in hydro under leds with uv supplement (reptile lamps) and run them for 80-84 days flower (9,10 week strain on the packet info), they would yield half of my other plants, so around 225g/m2 instead of 450g/m2, but the stash would last me much much longer. I haven't found anything of the same quality in dispensaries in California nor in Barcelona (and definitely not in the Netherlands haha), modern cookies crosses that I tried lack smell/flavor/effect by a long shot... I want to smell a 1g baggie strongly at 20+ meters, not need to stick my nose in the baggie to smell it...
Now I started growing again, I tried: ripped seeds brain cake & kmintz, dna genetics bakers delight & la sorbet & kosher dawg, reserva privada og kush (doesn't remind me of kush, smells like burnt tires though), philosopher seeds purple punch x dosidos (resin but not much smell), zamnesia runtz (grows easy, looks good, shit quality flowers no taste and superficial effect...)... currently growing barneys farm bubba kush (new on their menu, they claim it comes from the original bubba)
--> So far nothing comes remotely close to the dank og#18 I used to run, and my grow equipment is better (basically better led lights)
Reading around online apparently everyone thought the old og#18 was amazing and RP lost the genetics and now the og#18 is supposedly shit...
So my question is did you guys come across any seeds that have amazing quality flowers? Preferably with some kind of lemon/fuel/sour kush taste (imo nearly all cannabis cup entries of 2012-2014 has those desirable taste/smells). Also preferably not single drops because they are expensive, hard to get and limited so cant buy it again if it turns out amazing.
I was thinking of Karma genetics (something crossed with biker kush, or the white s1), devils harvest (devils glue, waardareekn, rolex), rare dankness (Scotts og) or maybe trying another dna genetics kush. It feels like the best og kush hybrid seeds were 10+ years ago and these days the breeders moved on to cookies.
Also I have trouble finding which genetics are 'fire' since breeder claims are untrustworthy, and forums and grow sites like grow diaries are extremely biased (beginners give high ratings just because their plant didn't die, picky kush growers have higher requirements and end up giving lower grades to fire strains, beginners have difficulties growing fire strain so they don't stand out in the ratings...). How do you guys choose which seeds to run? Do you just try a bunch of different seeds from different breeders and see how it goes?
