Either way...My whole point to this thread was to find out rather or not the breeders and High Times are in some marketing / profit sharing agreements... to sell regular seeds for top dollar....
Shit i cant even load the high times website due to all of the seed ads..lol
Karma, your growing "true" jack right? Where did you get the seeds?? If you feel as though this strain tops any OG Kush then please i need these seeds asap. If your from Sac-town im pretty sure you have smoked some good herb. So i trust your opinion. The funny thing is.. i knew i would piss off some Tangerine or JH growers with this thread... hah
I'm far from pissed off Esteban.
What we've been debating all depends on who your target market is sir.
I have a felling you "work" with the youth market, 18-25, to make your money.
To the 18-25 yr. olds, OG & Kush (in general) have been the 2 most hyped strains of their young lives.
So if they want bomb bud, they make the call for some OG Kush, because that's what they know.
Those of us who are above 25 (I'm rocking 34 trip around the sun) grew up in a different time.
We had White Widow, White Rhino, and Great White Shark in the 90's as our OG Kush's of the times.
All were related, all carry the family name, and all were thought to be the best of the best.
While the White strains are still top notch smoke, they are not considered as "elite" as they used to be.
While Sensi's Jack is a product of that era, it was decades ahead of its time even back then (95).
I guess what I'm getting at is that much of our discussion is generational, and is due to our inability to truly see things through someone else's eyes.
Spend the $200+ like I did and order yourself some real Herer seeds from Sensi.
You can easily fetch as much as you do for a zip of your top Kush, maybe not with that younger crowd I mentioned, but with one of us more experienced folks (aka geysers).
To quote a great movie, "Same team Farva, same team."
As for the Cannabis Cup itself, it is almost all marketing at this point.
It had much more meaning in the 90's when it was new and seeming untainted (thanks again Arjan).
The High Times Medicinal Cup here in the US has a little more credibility to it since their are judges and isn't based off of who can hand out the most freebies to the tourists.
Still, when there is a profit to be made, one can never put too much faith in to these kinds of events to stay legit.
