That said, the most consistent purveyor of high quality genetics for me in the past few years has been bodhi (most of his crosses are F1, so they will have a good amount of variety in them; in an F1 cross you will usually get at least 1 pheno that resembles the mother, 1 that resembles the father, 1 that is a combination of the two parents, and then there will be more infrequently found phenotypes that represent the recessive genetics of both parents),
Agreeing with almost everything else you said in that post, I have to disagree a bit here.
I can't speak to what Bodhi is doing, but F1s themselves will be uniform ("stable") *IF* they are "true" F1s made by crossing two different landrace or other inbred lines. F2s created from inbred lines are where you get the massive variation with most of the various parental trait permutations.
From what I can tell, nothing available in seed form, is really very good. That's how it was over a decade ago, and doesn't seem to have actually changed much. Your best bet, is to get a clone from someone, that you have already smoked and know you like...
I have to strongly disagree here.
If you're saying MOST commercial lines aren't excellent, I'd agree with that. By definition, only a small percentage of stuff can truly be well above average, right? Genetics work on a bell curve. . .if you want to find an absolutely outstanding one in a million type plant, guess what. . .you have to pop a million beans!
But to say nothing available in se-ed form is very good. . .its just not true. You can find absolutely excellent genetics from a dozen or more breeders now. It just may require a bit of selection and trial and error on your part, that's all.
