Looking for better potency

Stray to far? Yes you must keep a cutting of every plant when hunting through seeds so you dont discard the best one by accident, even the best seeds. Cloning is a must for high end weed.
I have and do. I'm just trying to understand the broad range of what I will grow. Will I have one that's phenomenal and most be blah or will all be good and that one pheno has everything I personally like smell taste yield ect.
I'm really trying to understand the potency of each seed.

Mr Nice lost his Skunk his sk1 but crossed it with g13. There’s still fire in that line if you do a pheno hunt of the g13 skunk.
I rate Mr Nice SSH over other breeders because he still has cuts from Neville but I would use at least 30 beans to find the right pheno.
I can't vouch for the validity of this history but maybe someone else can.

I've learned in my time that 20% amber plus is the ticket for potent weed. 5% amber = 20% or more clear useless tricomes.
In other words people harvest too soon. Patience grasshopper.

Thank you that's something . This was just taken . This is my urkle s1 at 8 week as of Sunday. I have a few amber. Can you see the tricomes at all? 20210111_231034.jpg

I can't. When they are ready the amber will be easy to see with a loupe. If you have to search for the amber it's not ready. Jmho.
I have a loupe and a USB microscope. My phone sucks but that picture was with my jewelers loupe and phone. That wasn't easy. I can see a few amber most are cloudy with some clear. There are as many clear as there are amber . But what do I know.

As many clear as amber. All you need to know. When your at 20% amber you might have 5% worthless clear tricomes. Again jmho.

Amber is past peak. Clear is useless. Let that sink in a bit. You will never get 100% cloudy. I'll take 20% amber 75% cloudy and 5% clear. That's about as good as it gets.

Jackherrer Blows my head off, by far the most potent ive grown so far. I have friends that say the same.
Never had Jack herrer but I grew black Jack. Black domina x Jack herrer and that was some dope! Grew well indoors and out.

If you are lucky you will have one thats phenomenal, and the rest will be just ok, it may take quite a few seeds to find that one special plant you like. It seems the days of buying true f1 seeds that produce almost identical plants are few and far between, not many seed makers have the patience to do it right. my best seeds still must be pheno hunted, and you need to be good at testing and knowing what you want when you do find it. I put 0 stock in those lab tests, they seem to be all over the place. If you are growing for others than yourself, it would be best to have them test for you too, you might not know what they like or want.

Your opinion on WW didn't bother me.

Your "thats crap in comparison to these other wildly popular boring strains" is what made me respond.
Been here a long time. Ain't the first and won't be the last time someone gets rubbed the wrong way.
I can be painfully blunt in my own way. Most here are used to me..

Peace out Wizz

Grab some cheese s1 beans and you'll have skunk #1. Cheese I've read is really good.
Kaliman seeds - He sells real deal EXODUS cheese
so does
Dr Greenthumb

Exodus cheese is always worth the run. Fun stuff.

If you see something called that. It smells like Cherry Lifesaver's, and is the trippyest thing you've ever pull 3 bongs of.... You found it! LONG lasting too.
I hate trippy weed. Feeling like you're dying isn't always the same as "potency" lol.

Ya man. I remember sitting in college and this chick beside me kept saying someone got sprayed with a skunk and everyone was looking at me. Man i was so stoned my eyes looked like a glossy red marble lmao. Lucky my teacher was cool and basically told me 'never again' i got the point. Hahahaha. I sold a guy 2lbs and he buried it in his backyard cause it smelled his entire house up so bad it smelled like a grow room. Lmfao. No joke. Lol oh man. The shit we used to do....
good weed w solid terps smells like a skunk to a non smoker. Even fruity stuff.
Everyone looking for something that is right in front of their faces.

Just silly

Your right. Let's be fair. I crapped on 1 from the past that I never liked. Nor did I understand the fascination with it...DOESN'T mean I never ran it.

Yes I mentioned popular strains right now. I'm running them. Between trading with other breeders, and clone swapping. I haven't bought beans in 4 years. I find no need to....
I have enough issue with bean running when hunting pheno's from my and other "friend's work".

I wish a dear friend of mine was still alive. He passed suddenly, right after breeding one of the best "Strawberry" line's I (and others in his circle) have ever tasted!
Cherry Vortex
It's THE most requested thing I run. It retains the name he gave it. Out of respect.

Now Cherry lines to me were pretty much "Boring" too. Till he hit it out of the park with it. I know several of us have kept it going. I think it's started to come out to more from one of us too.

Uhhhhh, Is it cherry or strawberry??

Waiting to see who caught that!

CHERRY VORTEX

Strawberry Blush was my high CBD project. Just got it in dispensaries and mine was raided (including grows).
So I lost that to the coppers. Lost a few other non-replaceable strains too.
