How often do you switch strains?

i dont know whats best but in this box in 30-40cm long bud i got everything each day i smoke i get different highs XD. maybe i should try and sort it next time, lower is good its just short and explosive. this was a 27% thc(on the box) and when you get shot with that glass trichom its insanly strong.i usually have a weak immunity. normal buds can hold me for 5 hours until i feel the high went away

You really should try to pick up some 100% sativa from a reputable organic grower.
Most smokers are too young to remember them. There's a reason the word 'Kind' was associated with herb.

It's the whole reason I don't bother with a mother for my plants. For some (hopeful) reason I always leave my best buds til last, but by that point I'm as well as smoking paper.

Tolerance develops when we keep on using the same strain on a regular basis. However, tolerance can also develop with different strains. To deal with tolerance, we need to try new strains and new products. This can be challenging at times, but it will be worth it. The best thing we can do with cannabis tolerance is to find the right strain for our body and the right time for our mood. For instance, if we are prone to high tolerance, we need to avoid the strain that makes us high in the first place. This is the best way to deal with tolerance.

I grow different strains every grow. I don't keep mothers and only take clones to use for making feminized seeds. I know people do it but I could never grow the same strain over and over again. I did that years ago and I'll never do it again. Sure something comes along that's just phenomenal and then it's gone. Something else always comes along. I like variety and am not concerned with keeping any specific pheno of anything regardless how good it is. Some people refer to "Keepers". A keeper is always just a seed away. They come and go.

And here I am trying to devise a way to keep clones or a small veg area just incase I find that one. I don't know what that one is yet but if I come across it I'd like to keep it somehow.

There's nothing wrong with that. With me there will never be that one. No matter how good any strain is I have no desire to keep it around in any form other than seed form or used in a cross. I may never find the same thing again but I have too much stuff I want to grow to be using time with one plant/pheno. I've watched some real exceptional stuff come through and I sometimes regret not saving as I smoke that last bud but then I find something else just as good but different. With me it's all about variety.

I have a strain (super lemon haze) that has been my main strain for about a month, from my last grow from seeds. I am in my 2nd grow now from those clones. I will have enough yield to last about a year from these grows. I trade it for other sativa strains and OG Kush (indica hybrid) and now mix it up almost daily. I use the Kush before bedtime. It knocks me out.

Before it was legal here- I might have the same main strain for years but now I switch on an annual basis. I am all for legalization since it has increased my options tremendously. I can now buy and trade with total strangers on a legal level. Either seeds on the internet or bud from local retailers. So times have changed. The downside is that the small growers are getting pushed out by big money from out of town and state. Big money has lobbied in favor of big business and caters to a degree to certain legislators.

Greed now runs rampant (for business and state gov't both) and will tone down with time - that is the only thing I dont like much now with new state laws being tested on local levels. Not worrying about ending up with a felony has increased my grow rotations exponentially. Legalization seems to have pushed the price of product up and not down but I think with time competition among retailers will make it much better................. Growers with only 1 strain should be able to trade with other growers for other strains- in a perfect world

I have grown a ton of different strains and switch up frequently. Although I’m still looking for that go to night strains. I’m sort of stuck switching things up because after 3 straight nights of use, the 4th night tends to lose that sleep comfort for me on a strain. Plus I have strains for dog walking, gamin g and movie watching. My current go to strains have been Black D.O.G., Lemonchello Haze, Crystal M.E.T.H., Blue Cindy, and Amnesia Lemon Kush. I can’t wait to try some of my current grows new strains, in hope of finding a few more winners. (Journal linked in signature. Just added my 6 outdoor gals to the journal)

100% man! Smoking the same weed day in and day out will very soon lose its effects on you. I hardly ever grow the same strain twice unless it's a fav of mine, even then I'll just run a couple runs and off to the next. Switch it up my friend.

I grow 4 good size plants at a time. Nearly always 4 different strains. As soon as I’m that’s it for that strain. Very few get run again.

Switching daily depending on mood but mostly sativas. I have to start the super lemon haze pheno hunt. I absolutely NEED that 5% limonene pheno!! The only reason ill start cloning

Sitting smoking a fatty of Apple Pie. Straight lemon. Smells like lemon candy. It’s Acapulco Gold X Nepalese. Apparently there’s at least 2 phenos as this has nothing apple. Kick ass sativa though.

I usually grow new stuff.but every time i go to a coffie shop i have to buy a gram of acapulco gold hash.best high ever.it just lasts too short about an hour.

I have a couple go-to strains I like (Northern Lights, Mimosa, Girl Scout Cookies) but I try to mix in new ones each grow. Trying some Peyote, and Purple Urkel on the next grow.

I run 2-3 a grow usually and change it up each time. I get bored smoking just one.

A week ago i cut the mimosa cake, just had some for the first time and it is really tasty. Today i hanged to dry a bluberry cheese!! I still have to take down a tripple cheese, gorilla skittlez, laughing buddha and a moby dick!! Coming about at last

As often as you can you should switch up strains of course we all got some favourites you return to more often than not but as they say variety is the spice of life this is also why everyone should grow from seed in my opinion.

I like switching between nld and wld types throughout the day. It helps avoid burnout and seems to work better for pain management.

every grow -- varity is the "spice if Life"

I was a bit disappointed in the Mimosa Cake. Good yield, Definitely got the cake taste, but that was all, not much sweet, no citrus, I still have half of a gallon of it!
