YOUR WORST/DISAPOINTED/OVERATED STRAIN(S)

well im still pretty new to this and havent grown anything but TGA genetics the real differences i can tell are the seeds these guys sell are nothing like the actual plant they named take spacequeen for example in fact im going to post a lil grow show of these two side by side i happen to have a cut that came in around about way straight outta subs garden :) ya so far this guys genetyics are good smoking but they throw nanners like crazy the strains ive grown do anyways and they are 3D(apollo 13 x jack the ripper) and agent orange x jack the ripper the 3D that he had pictured there looked nothing like what i ended up with but then again it did crank out some very good weed ive been running it for almost a year now my brother and many of my longtime friends have grown almost anything they guy has put on the market and all of them have told me time n time again dont waste ur money 1 my twin brother has almost every cut from almost all tga's actual breeding stock the plants that were actually named whatever flashy name sub decided to name it at the time from what i hear he tries to come up with a flashy catchy name something to do with the buds flavor though but like many people have pointed out in this thread that many breeders post these pictures that'd make a guy think he found the garden of eden they spend outrageous money on them and get a total dissapointment from what i understand unless you have a cut from whatever plant that breeder named really you dont have whatever said genetic at least not in the pure form i dunno how breeding works or what not my twin brother does very well and has been a fountain of knowledge the guys never steered me wrong he can be a prick or whatever but he's my twin lol i'll post a grow show of the space queen from seed and cuttings that made its way from subs garden to me :) all the way down in las vegas hmm wonder how that happened and ill grow this cut right next to one that originated from a package of seeds i purchased online :)i havent tried this myself yet but my brother did and from what i understand it is very likely that was the catalyst that got the breed bay community all excited enough to have my sister in law and twin banned from there boards beings this seed bank seems to not sell tga's seeds or they werent ever there anytime ive looked i hope this doesnt get me in a ringer here is what it is though

Number Six

Sagarmatha's Peak 19 ( Matanuska Tundra* X Stonehedge** ) :
Just a trippy high with nothing else during smoking, just scary with dirty feelings after a Bhang.
This is a typical exemple of strain without soul, smell and taste green.

* Matanuska Tundra : Short-lasting-low-potency relaxing stone with a greenish smell of lawn.
** Stonehedge : Long lasting hypnotic high with a strong body high and a deep musky smell... an underrated strain, for sure.
 
Its hard to judge unless you have had at least 3-4 samplings of any particular strain because every different grow will be different.... having said that I think Trainwreck is the most over-rated strain. The specimens I've had of Mr. Nice Guy and Top 44 also sucked. I've had some awesome ak 47's , and some horrible ones. I do like a lot of indicas though.

there have been many disappointments over the years, but the ones that "stick out" in my memory are:

haze heaven....................soma $150 from CW
none of my seeds germinated. contacted soma....put off several times..forget it...never buy his shit again

endless sky.....................dr. greenthumb $150
three phenos found, tasted like lawn clippings, no potency to speak of...never buy his shit again

ssh................................mr. nice $173 bootique
found many wild, thin, tall, long flowering hazey type plants that were a pain in the ass to deal with. they yielded well but no potency or flavor. one looked the same at day 77 as it did at day 50, was discarded. found one short, stocky pheno and was very excited about it possibly being much better---about the same potency as the others, weak, not much flavor. would be willing to give other strains from shanti a go, but not the ssh. lesson learned.

notice that these were rather expensive seeds and my expectations were high. and i'm a picky bastard, hard to please. still, the truth is what it is.........

Top 44 grew fast, grew a decent sized frosty center cola in under 6 weeks and smelled like bubblegum fruit but it seriously did not get you high, it was the weakest & worst pot effect wise I have ever smoked, totally pretendo herb. It must have been all cbd or something because the thc sure as hell was'nt in there. Definitely don't pick top 44 if you want to actually get high.

Worst Strains i have ever grown have to be,
Purple Star worthless high but purple buds.
Blue Shaman Shaman x Blueberry, mutant hemp worthless in every way.
Northern Lights Special mutant pure hermie crap.

Nirvanas Ice was my worst strain got taken in by the super frosty photos. It lacked both taste and potency with half the plants throwing out bananas. Its only attribute being some nice purple colouring.

From my experience the ones that stand out or should I say, failed to stand out are: Nirvana BBxNL - airy buds, hardly got ya buzzed; Dutch Passions BlueBerry - finicky, hermies like crazy, and weak; Barneys version of Willie Nelson - 15+ wks flower for schwag! Grew it after reading reviews of how the stuff was killer and wish I never wasted my time. Those will have to be my worst strains to date.

Wow, That is some bad results from some expensive seeds. Thanks for the infor. as I was going to purchase some of theses that you mentioned. So far the worst strain that I have is the THC "Da purps". I bought into the hype like many other peeps. Anyways, thats for being honest.:thanks:

I like every types of green, and i like to be positive,
and usually i do some research before i buy seeds,
i was satisfied with all of my previous seed orders:smokeit:
Peace.
 
Nirvana Top44 so far, it was just too mild for my taste. Otherwise I am Nirvana fan(Loved their K2 and NLxShiva) and waiting to get busy with new batch of ordered Nirvana seeds. :tree:
 
your biggest disappointment in a seed.

your biggest disappointment in a seed.

been all over the internet the last few days tryin to figure out which seeds i want to buy..to put it mildly, there seems to be a whole lot of hype and bs in reference to certain strains..in yer experience,which seeds that you bought, just did'nt live up to yer expectations. especially in ref to the more expensive stuff.....and also did you have a good grow and smoke with some of the lesser known,cheaper varieties.
