Hello, i had harvest my first grow with good results i believe, i´d grown two strains from "eva seeds" one indica and one sativa
Monster (Sativa)
Tnt Kush (Indica)
i had chosen these seeds basically cause they are cheap and it was my first grow and i supposed that a lot of mistakes was to be made.
Now, for my second grow i want something a little "better" maybe so i made a selection, so please anyone who has grown any of these strains give me your feedback!
(i want to grow one of each indica/sativa)
Indicas:
-Blueberry (Dutch Passion)
-White Widow (Green House, i readed that this was the best WW after Mr.nice Black widow)
-L.A Confidential (DNA Genetics)
-Northern Light (nirvana)
-Northern Light Blue (Delicious Seeds)
-Purple Bud (White Label)

Sativas:
-Chocolope (DNA genetics)
-S.A.G.E (Th Seeds)
-Euforia (Dutch Passion)
-Nebula (Delicious)
-Dutch Dragon (delicious)

Thank you!

Chocolope and la confidential are both great strains. I'd pop those 2 and throw the rest in the compost bin.

Hello! Thank you to everyone for your answers!

Im very surprised cause i have readed that strains like blueberry, white widow and northern light are like a must for the grower!

but all the answer says the opposite!

so my selection wasnt so good after all, anyone who can recommend me strains also will be appreciated, full sativa, indica or hybrid.
But where i live the stores doesnt have too much options (and cant get them online and mailed to my house), basically i can get seeds from these brands:
Dutch Passion
DNA Genetics
Barney´s Farm
Green House (I got from them a Super Lemon Haze that im going to grow)
Nirvana (very few strains)
T.H Seeds (I got from them a Bubblegum that im going to grow)
Female Seeds
Serious Seeds
Sweet Seeds
Delicious Seeds

DNA(la con)(chocolope)
Barney farm(violator kush) dont think they have it anymore tho
THseeds(bgum)(sage)

Peace,

White widow and northern lights were great strains like 20 years ago, today not so much. Blueberry is one of my favorite strains, but I wouldn't even consider it from any of those seed co's. DNA has some legit gear and really the only one on that list I'd really expect to find the dank. Here's a thread to look through for some strain suggestions of their stuff.https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?threadid=282809

If you look at reviews of most all those other co's you'll find for the most part they're either past their prime, or are just mass seed producers of garbage. They have their fans but most of them if you look close are newbies. Serious Seeds White Russian was nice though when I ran it like 6-7 years ago, and I've heard some good things about Sweet Seeds Cream Caramel. Look for grow journals on anything you are considering. Could save ya some ching and a bunch of time and effort.

It's a matter of taste and preference. Personally, I like NL, WW and BB.

Maybe get a few, try 'em out....don't buy all if you are unsure.

I can vouch for Dinafem work : bluewidow is awesome plant with large yields and pretty solid for what u see is what u get in the pictures.

Can also vouch for dinafem power kush .Some of the best indica weed ive ever had and pure fruity pebbles on the exhale and inhale for flavor. Love this strain

Nirvana has a better version of widow then Greenhouse if u ask me and a lot cheaper .

Only thing I ever got from greenhouse worth a fuck was kings kush it was fucking awesome with its og undertones and its solid dense golf ball nugs.

Nirvana northern light is a awesome strain also . I grew female from nirvana for 3 yrs before letting her go . Shes pure pine with large yields of topshelf nugs . Potentcy is good but not great . probably better then anything u have grown so far

I would stick with bog ,DNA, Dinafem, Humboldt seed company ,TGA , Nirvana , AlphaKronic ,Spice of life , Connoiseur ,Hortilab . wouldn't venture to far from there

Ace for sure.

I grew blue cheese from Dinafem, and it was really good.

Many folks don't like what they do, but I've seen plenty of good reports and my experience was a good one.

Spend the extra money, genetics are not something you wanna skimp on. In the long run even the expensive seeds are cheap if you find a great plant you can keep as a mother for years.

Most of those listed I don't have experience with. Stay away from companies that are new or don't have many grow reports or reviews. There's a reason for that.

I've grown blue widow from dinafem which was a decent commercial strain.

Reserva Privada is an offshoot of DNA and I'd recommend them.

Cali Connection is garbage imo from what I've run and Swerve is a tool and a dickhead. Some people claim to have found fire in his gear, but you gotta hunt through the subpar and hermie plants.

Ace I've heard great things about with plenty of grow reports and pics in their subforum on thie site.

Rare dankness I've heard mixed reviews but they have or at least had a good following and some people love them.

The rest you should research if interested. I'd be weary of them unless highly recommended by someone I respect.

try an ace mix pack. advice depends on a lot of things, including who gives it, scope and scale of grow. imo LA con has a nice taste, but other strains do more for me. i find bubblegum has a great high.

i would grab some of the celebrated mandala strains while they're still available.

Hello, Sourpuss the strain is called "TNT Kush" the breeder is Eva Seeds, i also grown a Sativa strain from them called "Monster" it was my first harvest, but if i compare them with all the weed that i had smoked, they are above average, i went one time to amsterdam and tryed a lot of different strains there, these buds are of that kind.
