YOUR WORST/DISAPOINTED/OVERATED STRAIN(S)
- Thread starter masterlow37
- Start date
Lady cane from san nies seeds. It grows like a fucking monster but the weed sucks. excellent resin producting, little high, bad taste/no taste. Everyone I have given the sativa pheno cut to says it outgrows anything they have in hydro, soil, and greenhouse. Possible breeding genetics? 65-75 day flower time, had to pull early in the NW unless in a greenhouse.
Most prolific plant many have ever seen, I'll get a picture tomorrow to add of an indoor E/F 14 gal rubbermaid with 1 plant in it halfway through flower with a 2 inch diameter stump.
But the weed isn't anything special, in fact it's very not special.

I didn't like the Niagara from Greenthumbs. The buzz was potent but seemed to give a real negative vibe.

Your kidding, right? So one should keep their mouth shut just so a breeder can continue making $$$ off of a shitty product?
I've seen way too many "whats the best?" threads, its about time we put the crap on glass so everybody can have a heads up.
When was the last time you saw a breeder say "this particular strain isnt all that"? Every single description makes the strain sound like its the greatest shit in the world.
Diferent enviroments and growing methods will produce diferent results but wheres' their smoke theirs fire and if you keep seeing complaint after complaint of a particular strains then chances are its the strain.
If more people banded together and told it like it is then some of these unscrupulous breeders would either have to step up their game or piss off.

Damn right man! Rep Up +
It aint really bashing, it's constructive criticism and any "creator" should be able to
handle it and make use of it.
Many old strains that growers used to have problems with have been improved on!
breeders need a kick in the groin once in a while, if it hurts it hurts man, next time they
will wear a cup. There are many ways to get healthy genes from a poor strain.

Well said hanfiking, well said.
I am not rude enough to point fingers at peoples masterpieces so I will say in general I dislike anything with a really crazy,up,racy,and anxiety like smoke..
I like to be down to earth and mellow.. one strain that made me puke my guts out was this cut of Train Wreck I grew out.. 2 tokes is too much.

fair point herbglaze.....but is it not also "rude" of some seed banks to knowingly sell inferior seeds that in some cases may fuk up an entire garden of good plants?

The worst strain I ever experienced was KC Brains' Cyber Crystal. Most of the seeds didn't germinate and the ones that didn't were runty-assed mutants! I had bagseed that was better and actually germinated into decent plants. This was was first name-brand seed purchase (from Heaven's Stairway, back in the day!), and I was crestfallen! Luckily, all of my subsequent seed purchases have been pretty satisfactory to say the least.

I believe before I bash any strains I should first give the Breeders the credit they are due. Many hours of labor and love go into even the sorriest strain and it is all in the pursuit of the perfect creation. Some of these creations are incredible and others not so...
Thanks to all the breeders out there and keep up the good work... Without you I would be stuck not getting to experience some of the finer things in life... Thanks for the flavors and scents that will linger a lifetime...
Nirvana-SUPERGIRL...
Tried this strain after a friend of mine grew it and had awesome results (production wise). My findings were not so great... Big Heavy plants most grew uniform.
Low resin with a lot of pistils. 1 plant was different then the rest and yielded 12 ounces.
sorry smoke and very soft high.
Some hermed 3 weeks into flower no stress no light leaks just herm...
note also that these were fem. stock seeds.
Nirvana-NL5xHz bright lights
Not that i didnt like it, Just like the Original better.
Greenhouse-El Nino
Popped all 10 and got 8 females not bad. Plants grew well handled nutes well. overall it was actually a pleasure to grow. plants were also very heavy yielders. average of 5 oz plant. I say bad because of the taste and high. The taste was hashy at first but ended like a bitter almond almost leaving my mouth chalky and dirty feeling with a waxy texture of smoke.
The high was instant and then faded within the hour...
I give these opinions in the perspective that i gave these plants everything they needed for a perfect growing enviroment starting with water and ending with a perfect cure, these were my findings and not a bases of what the end result is. I didnt even put a dent into the phenos that may be out there. These results and opinions are based off the plants I have grown.

i agree but the finally result isnt always the strains fault. if you have no clue about the strain and you grow it the way you want and it sucks and you want to blame the breeder. i like growing "shitty" strains so i can rub it in other "growers" faces that if you get to know a strain and how it preforms best.
when u bitch about what you grew, most likely the way u wanted and not how the strain is used to growing, it makes the breeders product look bad and mayb hurt his business. i would understand if the seeds suckd or none germinated or something but dont rag on someone because the strain they made doesnt look as crappy as yours.
i am currently growing SNOW WHITE fem by NIRVANA, which everyone thinks is a low quality shit strain. its mother is a white widow, whihc ive never grown but i have grown WHITE RHINO by GH CO. and everytime its organic and it comes out great. i research some of the companies i buy from and learn how they grew them and in my own way try to manipulate what they did to get the best results out of mine.
MY GH White Rhino outdoors.
and my Snow white that is only 2-3 into flower and is giving out great results so far.
i hope one day you guys breed and put alot of work into your products for some people to bitch about them online because they didnt do there homework and they stick every plant in that dirt, with the same water and nutes, under the same light and same conditions....you cant do that every strain has probably grown differently so your particular setup wouldnt giv you the best quality or quantity.

I really don't have a worst per say. The thing I hate most, is getting beans from a pollen chucker that breeds with hermies or an unproven male.

I think people who are posting in a strains defense (or multiples) need to get over themselves bigtime ... Tell us your worst ... not why a strain couldn't be someone elses worst ... the HOG and MK Ultra didn't preform well here either ... Very Disappointing ... tell me how mistaken I am ...

Hey there Fresh How are things going in your grow room? Snow White Huh nice. I actually grew that from Nirvana and it just finished about a month ago. "Shit Strain" people have no idea of what shit is. I had excellent results. You have a leafier pheno i had 3 of these and they finished right at 52 days for my liking. I had another pheno that produced resin so thich i could not touch the plant or it was like super glue. People and there shit. Good luck to you my friend and let me know how yours goes. I really enjoyed my smoke at 30 days. Light at first then it hits after id say 10 minutes and very stony yet i still manage to get everything done....

I know no one probably wants to hear this or is going to listen to me (lol), but I think before any one gives a "disappointing" report they should have at least run the strain (preferably the exact phenos reported) at least for more than 1 grow and have at least cured the smoke for 3 weeks.
As for me there is no smoke that I have grown that just disappointed me, there was the dutch passion Blueberry but I only ran one pheno of that and the only reason I didn't like that pheno is because the duration of the high wasn't long enough. Other than that my first grow was disappointing, but that doesn't count because the genetics came from bag seeds and I harvested way too early.

Good idea for a thread, but. It still doesn't belong in the Smoke reports forum. Strains and Hybrids is more like it.
