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.
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.
