DNA fems are a great bargain! all 3 i've tried, sweet haze, lemon skunk (freebie actually), and sour cream were all way above average and sell for close to $10 each.
when i bought mandala's 8 miles high, it was only $32 i think, and it REALLY put a big smile only face for it's really enjoyable 24/7 friendly happy high that does nothing wrong and had no detectable energy effects either stony or racy
when i bought a pack of holy smokes' malawi gold, i think it was only $35, AND it came with 2 more as freebies along with 2 each of mulanje gold and mozambique poison! it was way more co-operative than takes forever and bitches about pot size before turning hermie highland thai. i only wish trifling neighbors didn't force me to turn my fan off in the daytime so that all my plants suffered hot spot burning the day i forgot to turn it on and had to harvest early. the smoke was REALLY nice even then though
high quality seeds' haze x skunk is STILL under $30, and is one seriously potent high that might not be quite as visual as columbian gold, but it doesn't turn stony after a month of wake and bake and is more sticky, potent and long lasting. for a potent high on the cheap, it's not shabby, and i really would like to see how it yields when it's one bud every inch or two bushy pattern is flattened out on a SCROG screen with better light penetration. that strain LITERALLY saved my life from waking up choking on beer puke every morning.
CH9's DIRT CHEAP jack (under $8 for a fem) was a plant i was determined not to like when it looked like a squat broad leaved sea of green afghani, but it was very low odor which surprised me and the buzz was truly a mid with some stone, but nothing you couldn't function on with a really potent euphoria and even a little bit of psychoactivity. had that been used instead of afghanis in the l;ate 80s, hazes would be so much better today! it's a better buzz than skunk #1/masterkush/blueberry etc. and a strain i want to use to tame saliva stretch as well as paranoia maybe. it's my idea of a good "cash cropper" strain as it's not a depressing stoner bud like most of what pollutes the streets in the name of greed
