high quality seeds haze x skunk & their sister company black label seeds' masterkush are both nice $28 deal strains with the former being a super potent & long lasting motivational high and the latter being a nice quick lowrider with a pretty balanced buzz for what it is.
when it comes back, mandala's 8 miles high is a great strain, but his whole line is affordable & noob friendly with better quality control than nirvana. his stinky hashberry plant is very popular with lovers of all things skunky
just about everything TGA subcool makes is much loved. JC2 is my absolute favorite
DNA genetics has a lot of great strains. their sweet haze is clearly above average and the sour cream and lemon skunks are distinctive too
ace seeds is one of the better breeders for sativas apparently. haven't tried anything yet, but at least one grower swears by his panamas.
what i'd REALLY like is if a bank could get a big buck breeder like DJ shorts & serious seeds to offer their seeds one at a time instead of $100+ 10 packs. i'm guessing they don't want to hear about it though as attitude is happy to sell pick & mix beans. i'd rather buy 3-4 kali mists or grape krushes than a full expensive pack. $75 is about when i stop wanting to invest in a strain
