This sounds like a dream <3
 
I have three small medicine bottles each with one of the following nugs:

Purple Kush
Blueberry
Candy Kush

They've been stocked away in my freezer since I've had to cease (minimize ;)) my smoking lately.
 
Over the course of a few months: California Hydro, "Purple Haze*," Afghan Kush, Alabama Kush, Starburst, Lemon D, Sour D, Grandaddy Purp, Purple Kush. I'd have to say that the Cali Hydro was the best one, but the absolute most dank was the "Purple Haze."

*Likely, this was not the original purple haze, I think it's just a name that someone up the line slapped on it because it was good shit and there was definite purple in there. I remember that it was so dank, when I rolled a j in my room the entire hall stank of bud. I'm surprised I didn't get caught.
 
/\/\/\/\ Sure, if you're buying from some shlomo on the corner. If you're getting it straight from a pal who grows, the names are real.
 
White rhino and a form of purp called nepolian are the best i've had.

"I thought hurricane season was ova."
 
Has anyone run into a strain called Pineapple Express (yeah, like teh movie)?

I always assumed the name was made up for the movie, but I have run into this strain twice now since the movie came out, plus I have some known genetics listed below for it.

1) What do you know about the genetics of it, if at all?
2) I have a 50/50 hybrid of a pure Master Kush X Trainwreck seedlings growing at the moment and was wondering if Pineapple Express would be an appropriate name?

anyone?
 
I have seen Pineapple Express, and I believe it's commercially available genetics.
 
^ Thanks carl. It's good to know other people have seen it too, but I noticed many conflicting reports on the actual genetics of it. Anything ranging from a sour diesel hybrid to a pineapple punch hybrid. Anyway, it's complicated to come up with a strain from a name. I would think most strains are named after they are discovered so to speak, instead of "invented" like PE.

I dunno. I guess it takes many years for a strain to be cultivated to live up to it's name whether or not it's "discovered" or "invented".

So we will see if this one survives I guess...
 
I had a mate grow one outside over here a year ago. If i remeber correctly there were at least 2 different versions of PE going around. I think he had one by g13??

Which seedbanks have these ones offerd to you been from do you know?
 
^ Cool. I didn't get mine from a seedbank. My previous caregiver had breed the Master Kush X Trainwreck right before I became my own caregiver and I ended up with a few seeds :)

But yeah, the seedbanks I see online look expensive and not very descriptive for this strain in particular.

most strain names are fake just to hype up the weed, u can never really go by what ur told unless u grow it urself

This is just plain FALSE. I hear people say this all the time, and usually these are people who can only get mids (not implying you btw). The fact of the matter is, most headies strains in the US come from organized growers/clubs in California, or from independent experienced growers who keep track of the seed-names from the original company/source.

IME, out of many years smoking headies, I can't remember any strains I got that were misnamed. A simple google search will tell you if the name is made-up, and will also tell you if the characteristics of a named-strain matches your buds. Sometimes my connect will tell me they're not sure of the strain, or that it is a ____ hybrid or something, but rarely is a declared name false, at least IME.
 
/\/\/\/\ Exactly....especially if they're growers, which is where I get all my weed.

& the potency is amazing!! I remember tokin Colombian Red Bud all day. The weed I've been smokin' for the past 5-10 yrs, there's no way in hell a person could toke this stuff all day/evening. 2-3 bong blasts & I'm wastoid for 3-4 hrs. =D
 
I have a question about strains.

I used to just buy generic un-named weed for cheap from just a local guy who got it from a larger scale dealer. It wasn't necessarily bad, I don't think - There were some crystals and it didn't look like pure garbage, but certainly nowhere near as "wow" as the pics in High Times.

I'm wondering - Are these cup-winning strains significantly stronger than the stuff on the street? Can I expect to be blown away, or is it a slight difference?

I know it's impossible to say, since who knows what I was getting before, but in your experiences, has getting weed direct from grower with a specific strain much better than the average street-level stuff?

Yea, I'd agree with that statement if posed as an affirmative. But the key word is average . Most of the stuff on the street is not going to be the best of the best, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. In some places, it's actually the norm for street dealers to have straight up chronic. And every grower, no matter how experienced, has buds that aren't fully developed and aren't as tasty as the rest, you could be getting that for all we know.
As far as strain names, just because it comes to you without a name doesn't mean it isn't grown form superior genetics with great attention and care... maybe the middleman just doesn't care enough, he knows that the name on the street is more of a sales gimmick... it the connoisseurs and medical patients that it really matters for.

You should get rid of the part of the post that incriminates you and sets you up for big time trouble... should anyone care enough.
 
Thanks for the advice - I kinda figured it was wayyy too unpredictable for any sort of answer but I figured I'd ask anyway. I won't go into too much detail, could violate Bluelight's sourcing rules, but I got this from a trusted source where I know that the bud is grown from a specific strain, and also grown properly by experienced growers, who sell directly and in a user-reviewed feedback system. I know that doesn't guarantee strong bud, but the odds are in it's favor. So yeah I don't doubt it'll be better than what Im used to, I'm just wondering by how much. Only one way to find out though, I suppose ;)

As for self-incrimination, I live in Canada =) I appreciate the concern, but I'm not at all worried about that lol. We have an amsterdam-style weed cafe here that's been up and running for years, and the cops have never taken an interest. Canada is weed heaven, though if anything Canada is tougher than the states on stronger stuff, it can be hard to find a lot of stuff that sounds common in the US.
 
alright here is a question: what would possibly be shipped from the netherlands to the usa that is one of the best strains out there? its all green, a light green or white from all the crystals however. and when broken up turns into all keef (wayyy more than god bud). ive smoked all sorts of shit, but this would seriously make me retarded. it was like smokin pot for the first time all over again. anyone got a clue????
