I've got a hypothetical for you kgp. If you could only keep 5 strains you've come across, which 5 would they be and why?

I know it is for KGP but I have my 5
J-1 : Nice and racy really unique taste that I have only found in one other strain and it was a freebie so I forget its name.
Fire OG : I like it, taste is really piney lemony fuel and super frost on it.
Agent Orange: Gotta have an orange in the bunch.
Godfather Kush: Had a really great experience growing it and it has 3 really good crosses in it. Grown from clone and seed.
Super Lemon Haze (More Sativa): I think with the other 4 this rounds my selection out really well. Although there are better strains out there I haven't grown them so I wouldn't know if I wanted to grow them.

Nice. Not sure I'd include all those as clone onlys. But anyone can answer the question. Stipulation is you've grown it, not just smoked it.
Never been overly impressed with anything TGA, but I know people do love it and I can attest they have some of the most consistent flavorful strain I've encountered.
Eta: never grown any clone only. I did have one but accidently killed it (VX) when I apparently over watered it and hadn't taken clones of it yet. Smoked plenty of clone onlys and hope one day to get my hands on a couple. Would really like a good verified OG. Been let down by OG crosses and beans (as far as expressing the genotype of what makes an OG an OG)

Tough one for sure.
1 ghost og, best plant I've ever had. The high, smell, taste, and potency is unmatched.
2 gorilla glue 4, good yeild, vigor, taste, smell,and super easy to grow.
3 chem d, big Yielder that produced quality smoke
4 killing fields (pink pheno) I wish I would have kept it. Such a unique flavor. Really satisfied my taste for haze.
5 sour d clone I had years back. Great yeild, taste and smell.

i did make a bunch of seeds. I said fuck it the other day and through all the seeds I made in a jar, probably 1000 or so. All different parents, from many years. Now it's my surprise jar when I want to pop a seed. Lol

lol I have a similar jar labeled "random" then when I pop seeds I always do 1 random for the fuck of it, got some purty plants from random and theres everything in there from hermied plants seeds , bag seeds, breeder packs, seeds I didn't like so theres no telling what comes from random

I like to think of it like sports and athletes. Take the NFL or NHL for example. You have all these amazing athletes pretty much already considered elites amongst the general populace. They are in a top league of their own. Then out of that bunch you have a group of all stars and MVP's who stand out among the rest. But there's always gonna be that one player that really fucking stands out. THE TRUE ELITE. The Wayne Gretzky's and Michael Jordan's(can you tell I haven't watched sports in decades?), the Tom Brady's, the Sydney Crosby's. The player will reign for years until the next true great one comes along.
No doubt you or I could pick some nice moms but as a personal/hobby grower I just can't imagine being able to compete with selections that some growers and collectives can make from numbers in possibly the thousands. Think of just the bioassay aspect on sampling 100 different plants.
.... but what do I know... I'm just a newb.
I just may never ever even see an elite cut in my life.

All my buddies have tried them. They speak highly of them after samples. A couple say I grow the best pot they ever had. I tell them "it's not the grower, it's the strain" all I do is grow it. Just like I would any other plant. Just this one is exceptional.
Oh, and my gg4 is given to every one of my friends that grow. For free. Only stipulations are they hand it over to their buddies that grow. For free.
That's the way that cut was supposed to be distributed, and it is..

That is a great analogy. I like it a lot.I like to think of it like sports and athletes. Take the NFL or NHL for example.

Pretty much. If you're popping one bean type gardening, your odds of getting a one in a million strain are quite low i.e. 1/1,000,000. But if you're a large grower popping 100s or even multiple 100s in batches then you're already at 1/10,000 for each hundred beans popped. Much better odds!I like to think of it like sports and athletes. Take the NFL or NHL for example.

Not that I need to stand up for kgp, surely he can do so himself, but from what I've seen and heard, he's a pretty stand up guy.Dude no way am I bitter...just agreeing that these peeps wanna hold onto a cut,not let it get passed around,but go on and on about how better it is than anything...
Come to VA..we been doing it better and longer,and we share...
Virginia is for hustlers
Anyone can grow good cannabis. Location doesn't matter. All that matters is a patient grower and awesome genetics.
