I guess my main bug-bear is the asking price of some of these genetics compared to others on the market. Is original C99 better than original SSH, for example? SSH retails for less than C99 in all shops and you get at least 15 (usually 18) seeds in a pack. SSH is a proper hybrid made from a large selection of genetics. C99 is - let's face it - bagseed (now backcrossed to a few left-over packs of old stock).
If a firm believer in a good plant being a good plant - no matter what the name. But these days, with so much choice and everything being crossed with everything else, how does anyone get away with asking $150+ for 10 regular seeds?!?
One of the strongest indicas I ever grew - and I was an absolute idiot for not cloning it - came from a $15 packet of SOL Adventure Mix. At the other end of the spectrum, I once paid $150 for 10 DJ Short F13 seeds and they were the scrawniest, hermiest, slowest-growing plants I ever grew. I will say the smoke was very unique and for some reason all the girls loved it (I don't know why it particularly appealed to women), but it wasn't strong, nor long-lasting. I will concede it probably has medicinal value, but . . .
. . . I'm starting to rant.
lol i couldnt tell if c99 has a long or short lasting high, even if you would put a gun to my head ... as at that time i had plenty (to choose from), seldomly a quarter hour or a half hour passed away without me blazin, but i do remember that she had this high ceiling with low tollerance build up, which compensates for much things, like lower potency and short lasting high
of course you cant compare are 50% + haze with cindy in terms of raw power, but i have to say that smoking a girly joint (1 1/4 paper) pure cindy was comparable to a lung or two full of titans haze or a good ssh, i got a few samples from sensis silver haze and their marley collie , and those samples were ridiculously lousy compared to cindy, she was 2 or 3 "generations" ahead in the potency department, tho the grower did a great job, as he did with all other things he has grown, those 2 were the selections out of a 15 seed pack ... and were "strong" like a skunk ... nah ... i really lost interest in those 2 haze descendants bc of those samples , dont worry, im aware that the genetic make up (on paper) is promising great possibilities....
you know those good old times, when you got a big envelope in the mail with a dozen or more samples, and 2 weeks later the clones you have chosen via the samples were also in the mail ... ahhh ... where is my bulb ... lol
speaking of WW to low-jack back on train
mrnice has an auction site attached to its forum, where you can bid , like on ebay .. or cbay (for all others lol) ... , and you dont have to be registres at the forums, its enough to be registred at the auction site alone, bc of seeds ...
and now, plz

GRAIL WIDOW
and
WidowAC
both have "haze" and widow genes in their pedigree, and both are also different to mango(haze) widow, i wouldnt be surprised that AC has nevils background , while i dont know, im guessing its the number 122 , other parent than ssh, mum from mango within the grail
to exactly know whats going on, one would have to grow out 5 different strains .... lol ... and while different, all so "related" lol
