DEFINITELY DNA! tried sweet haze, my second favorite strain and better than a lot of generic hazes, but 9 weeks... but it's stretchy, SCROG recommended. lemon skunk and sour cream are both superior buds too as DNA strains have many well rounded qualities and are not one dimensional strains like white widow which is jusy about resin glands even if the bud is harsh and tasteless. the lemon skunk is much more up than skunk #1, with a nice lemongrass taste and a cool golden glow with it's orange pistils that adds all those extra little details. sour cream's buzz isn't a favorite, too stony, but functional like a good skunk #1 or blueberry but crazy delicious like cream cheese with hints of fruit like a yoghurt. i gave LA cponfidential away as it's too stinky and afghani dominant for my tastes, but many love that strain too. i'd go more for cannalope haze, C13 haze, or chocolope before that. TGA Subcool. there's a couple haters, but a lot of people love TGA gear. i remember raves back to around '04, but alwaysa wondered about all the strains i'd never heard of. he still gets a lot of raves for ALL of hist strains bred from elite cuttings or selected offspring. the one of the popular jillybeans i tested either succumb to mold or drying in their peat pellets and the other got cloned too early so i can't report on that, but the 3/5 females i got were AMAZING! it's my favorite strain. it's trippy, very euphoric with nice potency, has a functional stone with a warm body glow and is a cool "touchy feely" strain that responds to touch like only short stuff yucky (diesel) tasting onyx. if it didn't have an offensive name, i'd really like to grow extra trippy jack the ripper, but will like a pina colada pheno, hopefully, cross of that with apollo 13 called third dimension and might get a full pack of jillybean for the orange pheno. mandala has great cheap strains and a bargain mix too. his gear is especially known for noob friendly hardiness. 8 miles high is my 4th favorite strain. it's a nice mellow happy playful high that's niether racy nor stony and is clear headed along the lines of a generic haze, but with enough psychoactivity that it makes music and dancing fun, with precise body control, but you can cheech and chong out to a movie on it too. i thought it's a very classy understated high that's 24/7 awesome. his satori has a really good high according to another that puts it in his top 2. i cut his hashberry down because it's a stinker. i don't remember it being stony though. it's a popular strain for anyone looking for a brick wall strain. high quality seeds has an awesome haze x skunk for about $30. it's really potent and long lasting, euphoric, motivational, good for tuning out hunger pangs or getting off beer (i dieted and went cold turkey on it!) and doesn't turn stony after even a month like columbian gold, the trippiest i've ever smoked so far, could. it takes 12 weeks and likes to stretch, but it makes a bud every couple inches and would be great in a scrog. it tastes like cheesy cigar wrappers which might be an issue, but not that strong. i was less impressed with their thai skunk which performed more like a generic haze. sweet haze was fruitier, stickier and trippier than that too. if black label seeds is another line by them, that one's masterkush auto did what it's supposed to in a strain that's mild stony like skunk #1 in a compact fast flowering strain you can't clone, but haze skunk is my #3 fave for a hard hitting motivational high with some rough edges around the corners, but it's not harsh or even expansive in reasonable size hits. it's a bargain if you're willing to give it some time and room you can't get joey weed gear anymore, but i liked his C99 for an energetic more clearheaded than generic haze high and his version was a quick 45-50 day pheno. it's the strain i started all of my breeding with, but jack herer's are much funner. speaking of jack crosses, i liked what i saw from CH9's jack. it's compact and looks like an indica, but it's stone is functional and middy, with nice euphoria and potency in a strain that doesn't skunk either. jack's cleaner & sweet haze have better buzzes, but for a stone that's actually agreeable to someone who hates getting stoned, it's very nice and potential breeding stock, especially with stretchy sativas. their jack 33 is described as being even more euphoric, i can't wait to test that too as well as take better notes on the subtleties and keeper factors. holy smokes seeds doesn't have a lot of reporting, yet, but i REALLY liked what i saw at the start from their malawi gold. they're preserving a lot of african sativas now that afropips is no longer with us. i'm hoping to get the trippy lemon legendary pheno out of it. i cut the mozambique poison freebie i got for ordering a pack of MG that included 2 more MGs, 2 MPs and 2 mulanje golds. the MP was a male, but it's leaves had some of the licorice flavor of the durban bud i was gifted in the 90s, but more of a spice, even dried basil flavor than licorice stick. it's definitely less fussy than sativa seeds full moon (highland thai). for landraces, ace, gage green & world of seeds have some fans. i want to work up to those harder to grow strains for breeding eventually. sannies is at the top of my shopping list for $50 jack f7 which has as much respect as $225 sensi seeds herer. they get mostly raves for top quality genetics. i want to try jack hammer when i get more ambitious and will pass on raved about for how trippy it is killing fields because the name doesn't sit still with me, like jack the ripper, but i bet by another name, it might take a top 2 spot based on descriptions from growers. i loved the crushed red pepper flavor and crazy energetic, as in you can't fucking sit still on it, literally, euphoric, but clear headed buzz of kali mist so much that i gave up bidding on it at an INSANE $120 for an 8th because all you could by anywhere in my town in NY was fucking same old same old afghanis! UGH! it's most euphoric and energetic strain ever like a tweaker version of C99. i still have 1 bean left, but i imagine if it';s even still viable, it's the never sweet and spicy re-mix that sounds wussy compared to the lip burning hot original. serious seeds has a rep for quality. i THOUGHT they were the originators of AK-47 and bubble gum. but apparently was wrong, but they get respect. mr nice, SOMA, DJ shorts, mosca, bodhi, TH seeds, & dinafem are a few other breeders i've read good things about more than once.
Good info, very much appreciated
