Which breeders have the best classic strains?

I noticed that a lot of breeders tend to have their own 'varieties' of "classic" strains, I was wondering which breeders do you think have the closest or best versions of these strains? By classic I mean strains like, White Widow, Northern Lights, Afghani, Skunk, Kush, PPP, etc...

I would also be happy with any crosses of these strains you have liked, pretty much i just want to know which breeders you think have the best strains that are also sold by other breeders.

I've been happy with the results from Shanti's Black Widow. Worth a try, when available...

Cool, the only widow I've grown was nirvana's, I was happy with the results but knew there where better genetics out there.

If you research enough you will see Shanti is the owner of the original genetics, the rest are just knock offs.

He is a very modest guy, has the best customer service and is held in high regard amongst members here and the general growing population.

Hope this helps.

I knew that shanti was the original grower, though I wanted others opinions on the strains.

Theres nothing wrong with Nirvana. The only issues with them is they use Skunk#1 to bred everything they have hence most of there gears will have allot of skunk in it.

There's are a few breeders that don't supply to the Masses and are only available from Gypsy

2 of them are REZ and BOG Theses guys are good and have top genetics

I wasn't suggesting there was, 'i have been happy with the strains I have grown from them.

Though I have to say I was unaware of the use of skunk for breeding in there strains.

The first seeds I had ever ordered online was from Sam the Skunkmans website ( I had purchased Skunk #1 and top 44) though they were confiscated by US customs so I never had a chance to grow them. The only banks I have been successful with were attitude and seedboutique. Since then I haven't been able to find his seeds on boutique (the only one I trust now).

Both bog and Rez are on the boo. Bog was just added 2 days ago his gears is not listed yet but will be any day now. The bay is also a good source Gypsy owns the bay as well. You can get top gear on the bay. Some are not so cheap like BOG,Rez and Tom Hill

personally , im about to do some seedsman nl in hope to get some nl like the 80 's version .

anyone here dialed this nl ? i mean the skunk # 1 was clearly approved by sam the skunkman as the true skunk # 1 . it mean they have some old shit under their armpit ! maybe the clue of the real old nl is hiding there ....i will see . maybe ill get a few of their strains if somebody can share is recent experience with seedsmans strain .

seedsmans seems to be in possession of very old school genetics .

sog bagseed is fun, you'll send up with all kinds of different stuff, just watch out for hermies and kill them before they infect your grow

Trust me, I have grown my fare share of Mexi-Bagseed (that is pretty much all we get down here, in TX) and i'll admit I have had some good bud come out of it, but the problem is I have no idea what it is. All I know is that it is mexi bagseed, and that is not a very appealing name. One of the reasons I started this thread was for breeding purposes, and that requires me to know about the strains I'm working with, I can't rely on random bagseed 'gems' to make stable crosses.
