Is it possible that some really frosty strains are just flat-out impotent?

Screwed shit up! Bout halfway through getting the rotation started again.....Lost some strains. Starting new ones, so it's not the worst loss...

Popped some Clockwork Orange......Got a "crinkle leaf" going at pop and still doing it at 3 nodes....Keeping fingers crossed! Might have that holy grail 1:200 crinkle pheno.......I'll drop a pic of her later - BDay today. Being mobbed by friends soon...I'll be blind by 10...

Take care my friend!

Yes, the legendary stories of the skunk are real! Someone who had a bag of that skunk on them could walk into a 30,000 sq ft commercial grow-op at peak harvest time and the only smell anyone would smell would be that bag of skunk -in the baggy...inside their pocket!

The "success" of breeding out all those dangerously-detectable qualities out of the old landrace strains just means that smart breeders are just going to have to throw out the new and bring back the old..They are going to have to try and get rid of a lot of the hybridization fads and start selecting for the absolute most terpenes/stink possible....until the old, high-terp/lower THC weed makes a comeback and people start really getting high again (or, maybe for the first time!).

...The problem of stinky weed should have been approached from a standpoint of improving filtration instead of breeding and selecting for low-odor phenotypes.

I think it is totally possible to grow a beautiful strain perfectly well....and still have it turn out to be a disappointing/non-existent high. I absolutely agree that genetics is everything and that you can't rely upon looks or trichome production to guarantee anything other than a pretty picture to look at.

I'm glad to read these comments from everyone. Thanks!
All you gotta do is get some Afghani landrace. Penetrates baggies like they're paper.
 
I can attest for every seed vendor advertised in high times, on riu, and those other ones too, never been ripped off, scammed or lied to

Except for that #18 change in seeds some years ago(foogers, but I'm over it) its all been repeatable results for me so far.
a48 did suck all 3 times I grew it. grew nice though, frosty, tall, big buds....shit.
What I've notice is the plants I screw up will grow some of the strongest buds possibly because of the stress
