hmm id say diversify , get a few packs from different breeders , dont put all your eggs in one basket !

what do you actually want ?................. strong pain killing indica ?

a good well priced seed bank is san nie seeds ............. they have lots of good ones
paradise have some nice indicas
chimera has some of the best !
even greenhouse seeds have some nice seed lines !
there lots and lots really to many to mention !

all really depends on what you want from your dope to be honest you should be more specific

Been hawkin here for many years but not buyin for the past few as the vault is full. If I was gonna jump back in and buy some packs I would definitely be right onto the Doc's, Scott's or 501 OGs from rare dankness and perhaps a few more packs of one of my all time favorites BOG Sour Bubble

Hey baron I'm liking rare dankness with my limited experience, Somali Taxi Ride. It is easy to grow and Malawi leaning plants yield big. Haven't smoked STR yet but In my experience with Malawi by itself the effect really does last 4 hours and its really powerful. Easier to grow than most indicas just add a month.

Hey baron

I wear a 75mg Fentanyl patch and have for 3 yrs. I know your story. Pain dulls every aspect of ones persona and is a unrelenting burden. Cannabis provides a respite from pain for me. Every time i get high, i forget about it for a hour or so and can talk and laugh and interact - its almost like a 2 hr vacation from the reality of a painful existence.

So of course i seek that feeling as often as possible and like you, i hit the tolerance wall that you describe.

After lots of strain searching, i now only grow strains that consistently report 20% thc or higher. Over the last 3 yrs or so, me and a small group of growers here have tested probably 30 strains or more and at the end of the day, we're convinced that strains that consistently test at 20% thc are far less "tolerance producing" than strains that produce lower levels. Weve found the tolerances are slower to develop and are far less impacting on the "high" over time as the level of thc production increases.

The 2nd issue we beilieve to be critical to tolerance development is the presence or lack of CBD's. It my opinion high cbd leads to tolerance in a big hurry, while conversely, tolerances are slower to develop with highly pshycoactive strains low in cbd. Its my opinion that as the level of cbd increases, so does the tolerance against the high.

In fact, im not sure its even possible to build up a tolerance to a well grown nevilles haze or other equatorial haze. Everytime you hit it you get buttered and if you smoke it all day everyday, you dont develop a tolerance, you develop schizophrenia and pshycotic paranoia.

There arent really a great number of strians that consistently produce high thc levels so the search isnt as hard as it could be. Some of the better companies are now listing test levels.

Im currently growing a Barneys's Pinapple chunk that measure 22%. Ive smoked it 6-8 times a day for 4 months and i still get just high as hell. Some of the kush offerings are hitting 24% . Look around, high thc/ low cbd is the answer to your tolerance problems.

Let me make this clear before I go any further... I am not doubting your opinion or observations!

BUT to search for strains high certain thc and cbd levels is ridiculous. Any good breeder can run there clone only for over 20% thc but its up to the grower who buys the beans to find the right phenotype and grow it right and get the desired thc level.


Just because a breeder claims it is a 25% thc strain does not mean your finished product will be anything close to it...

Or it could be if you know what you're doing! LOL

My computer isclearly possesed

I hope it helps you baron. That was my intent.

SOURSMOKER, no offense taken,(we're off topic buddy), and a year or 2 ago, i might have made the same exact statement. Ive changed my mind.

Its true to a great extent what you say about the breeders special cut measuring high in thc and that high reading may not extend to every plant and every pheno and may not reflect the individual growers results and experiences.

What it does do in my opinion is provide an indication that if you do grow the strain properly you will have a greater liklehood of exceptional results and that the predominance of plants will have above average potency.

For example, La con plants consistently measure 20% and if you grow a 10 pack, all will be potent as hell and a couple will actually have some vigor and a bit more potency.... and in my opinion, far far more potent than any other affie hybrid im aware of .
The Barney Pchunk rates 22% and if you pop 10 seeds all of the plants are really more potent than any other skunk 1 strain ive ever grown and there's couple of plants in the pack that are truly jawdropping in potency.

But we all know that cannabis is a very unique plant and its effects are subjective and individualistic. One growers grail hits the recylcle bin for the next.

When available again , peyote purple almost all are keepers. One that I keep eyeing is Rare Dankness Cougar Piss, I'm always looking for that Ol school funk. Another not to well known strain is Sweetest Sativa by Chimera.Hope this helps.
