Well if that what you want to happen its going to be hard because elite og's are held tightly! So therefore thats why theydont get passed around to just anyone

Why? I still can't seem to get a good answer. You got a bunch of guys holding elite cuts that came from bag seed that they got from other elite cuts. What are you trying to accomplish by hording bag seed elites?

Do you guys want credit for finding a bag seed and growing it, or something? It's not as if most of the guys created these elite cuts. They got a bag seed and then named it something else to distinguish it from the original. The naming part makes perfect sense, but it's the hoarding part that boggles my mind.

As a grower, I would want as many people as possible to have my shit in case I ran into any legal problems and lost a prized mother. How many "elite cuts" have been lost to hoarders who don't want to share and then get into a legal jam?

It's counter productive in so many ways.

There are tons of good cuts out there in terms of potency, yield, taste, and smell. And I mean a ton. But what makes an elite, elite is the rareness of it.

And yes, there are new fads coming out everyday. e.g.: girl scout cookies. Small yield, taste that I didnt much care for, sensitive to nutes. But guess what? Everyone wants it (except me) They want it because is it elite and a fad. The old saying "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" holds true.

Now look, you have sin mints, phantom cookies, animal cookies, etc.. All these breeders have taken to the hype and cashing in on it.

Edit to add: I know someone is going to be offended by the GSC remark, and yes, it is a elite phono that has exceptional qualities. Just not for me.

For me, it's more so a level of quality that determines an elite. As I said before, there are only so many strains out there that reach 25-30% THC and I don't believe the ease of availability strips them of their elite status at all.

And yes, there are new fads coming out everyday. e.g.: GS Cookies. Small yield, taste that I didnt much care for, sensitive to nutes. But guess what?

I'm sorry, but I disagree there. There is no "fad" with Cookies. That shit is amazing and deserves every bit of the notoriety it's received. Plus, we're still talking about a strain that came from the OG line. So... no cookies isn't an example of a new line of genetics with comparable potency to OG when it contains OG in the genetics. You're basically talking about an OG cross when you're talking about Cookies.

How does that make Cookies a new line of genetics when it possesses OG in the genes? How many strains outside of OG crosses reach that level of potency? That's the point I was making there and you confirmed it by bringing up Cookies as a "new fad" when it contains OG in the genetics.

Now look, you have sin mints, phantom cookies, animal cookies, etc.. All these breeders have taken to the hype and cashing in on it.

Yes, all of which contain OG, though. I don't accept Cookies as an independent line of genetics that is entirely separate from OG. That's like OG's half sister from a different parent. In a metaphorical sense, of course. Not in literal breeding terms.

Another thing, too. I don't believe those Cookie Crosses are of the same quality as the original. You can spot a Cookie Cross from a mile away. The crosses are a hyped up "fad" for sure, but the original will always be elite in my book.

Edit to add: I know someone is going to be offended by the GSC remark, and yes, it is a elite phono that has exceptional qualities. Just not for me.

Yeah. I think you opened a can of worms there, but it's not going to be me who attacks you. I can see where you're coming from.

lol :tiphat:

Lets agree to disagree. I spoke my piece not here to argue just felt offended and still do especially now, but that changes nothing and your logic is well...yours.

It is about u cuz u made the comments I don't see others making those statements.

Calling these cut hoarders douche bags say to me that may be a time or two this subject has personally affected you. So again I did not miss the point but rather you came off wrong perhaps. Probably common occurrence no doubt

I'm sorry, but you failed to miss the point I made entirely. It's not about me personally getting the "hook up."

It's about the bigger picture. Which is full legalization of cannabis. If you want to slow down the progression towards legalization then hoard the good cuts by all means and encourage that behavior, as well.


I prefer the king louie XIII OG, but only grown that and larry og.





What? I'm complaining about hoarding good quality cannabis because it slows down the overall progression towards legalization. You're cutting off the general public from seeing good product and being compelled to see the product available in a legal market.

This isn't about me, and the fact you think it is shows how conceded you are. It's all about me, me ,me with you guys....


You just don't get it.




I disagree. The more top shelf on the streets, the better. The more mediocrity on the streets, the less motivation to see the product legalized. People pay top dollar for mediocre product in illegal markets. They get the impression that this mediocre product is top shelf when it isn't. Their impression of weed is lessened, as a result.




Sure, but why would people go out of there way to vote for a mediocre product that's totally overpriced? That's the point. The better the quality of the product out there the more motivation and desire there is to see it legalized.




Well, no wonder you don't get the point.
You thir dont get the point an wont till you have lived in a true growers shoes. Its kinda like on South Park when Token was sayin you dont get it an u wont get it.

Its funny when people come on here seeing all the goods were running an cry when they wont do the work to track them down. Get sum seeds an find ur own elite keeper.

What does this have to do with anything I said?

No, you missed the point entirely.

Never had any personal experience with a cut hoarder. Every grower I've ever known has no problem sharing cuts. That's why it's a mystery to me. I've never encountered a cut hoarder. And, they are douchers for contributing to the extinction of certain lines of genetics with their tendency to hoard. How many stories are there on forums like this of long lost strains that will never be found again because the source refused to share?

As I said, it's counter productive and has nothing to do with the effects it has on me personally. It's the cannabis community as a whole who loses in the midst of all this hoarding.


Probably common occurrence no doubt

Nope.
 
You should really stop be negative to people who hoard certain cuts and calling them douchers ect. Being a dick like you are isnt going to get anyone to share hoarded cuts with you. I dont know if you are being like this with the people who hold the elite og kush cuts or any hoarded cuts for that matter.

Smoke a fat bowl of some og kush and chill the f**K out already!!!

I think if we all just took a second to consider the reasons behind the norm stead of just calling foul all day(ignorance)....

For example I personally have zero to do with the clone market and have only been a part of it a few months.... So if I happen upon a cut... Is it hen my fault forwanting to ensure good standing and respect amongst growers by following simple requests from the gifter?

Is the gifter wrong for wanting his work in hand of growers both respectful as well as capable?

I also have been the guy on the east coast popping seeds so I get it... The more people start growing openly in non med states the more sharing well see I reckon...

I mean just in the months I've been here in Cali I've learned of a handful of people who were growing in my city while I was there... I was desperately seeking people to take cuts when I left.... Man....

I guess we could just chalk another one up for the hoarders on that one lol.... Jk

If your attitude is right and your thumb is green cuts will find you.... Bottom line imo

Hope everyone enjoys their Tuesday:)
 
Your saying that certain strains will be lost becuase people dont want to share, Well they share with people that are in their circle of friends, they pass the cuts within each other so pretty much they wont be lost.

Well have fun hating strain hoarders, Doesnt bother me in the least....

I already regret that post....

I'm simply trying to make people understand it's bigger than the gifter and giftee.... Good respectable people respect others cause it's the right thing to do... Nevermind the coy less people that support their families off mmj out here

Entitled to what dude? I run elite cuts(2) but most of what I gift is my keepers.. And my business imvho
 
This thread has really gotten off track now.

If strain hoarding wants to be discussed, a thread should be started on the topic.

I don't think it's off topic.

There is a reason we are voting on OG's with a name next to it and not just plain old OG. Why isn't OG on that list again?
