Alpha492 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Is it me or are none of these what they are cracked up to be? http://www.cannabiscupwinners.com/awards/cannabiscup/85-2010-cannabis-cup.html Especially Super Lemon Haze, I tried that recently and it was totally poopy. Maybe I'm just an OG but Chem Dog White Widow Sensai Star Train Wreck and maybe Bubblegun Kush it all you really need in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbleBerryKush Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 depends where you get it from, just because its called the same thing does not means its "the same thing"....there are a lot of people out there that just call their medicine what ever is the hot name at the time and since most people dont know any better they buy into it. also, 2 people can grow the same strain and get 2 very different results, hell its even hard for the same person to get the same results every time...so maybe you tried a poor example of the CC winners or maybe you didnt even get to try the real thing....

Alpha492 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 ehh, the guy I got it from I don't think would lie to me. I know that doesn't mean much to you but he actually is a pretty trusted member of this site, and he does aeroponic so you would think the result would be at least decent. He grew some White Widow that was absolutely fantastic too so I would have to assume he has a decent amount of growing experience. All in all though I would be willing to give it another try but still, I've had a number of the cc winners and have yet to be impressed. Some even from dispensaries and I would hope they would have some idea of the medicine they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgjoe Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 It is a well known fact that the so called "Cup" is bought every year.This years big spender was Barneys Farm Seed.Wonder how much the cup cost this year? Just wait, legitimacy is coming back to the "Cup" in a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, You always get the funk the first few times, then with alot of people, you will slowly be moved to the popcorn buds that have already been through the keif box. If its not a good friend or someone trying to get your biz, chances are you will only get the good stuff if you know how to identify it and ask for it. If you go on youtube you will find people who make strain reviews. You will find that super silver haze gets great reviews when grown right.

AbsoluteRoyal Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I used to run a 14 week version of Super Silver Haze, that made me stop growing everything else because there was no point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Vaped Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 When u pop a pack of seeds u can really catch a genetic rainbow...each has many different pheno-types, plus, you have like 10 breeders releasing all the same strains. Most people pop a pack of seeds and keep a choice female if they find one. They then pass the clone around and say "this is ak47 or blueberry". The cut they have is probly nothing like the clone used to grow the crop for the cannibis cup. I have smoked atleast 15 different types of blueberry and the only one I smoked that actually taste like blueberry came from bagseed...go figure!

I like to add one more point. In a way it's like buying a lottery ticket with seeds. AND BREEDING them meds- If you do cross a female super pheno with a male super pheno and grow out a nice number of seedlings from the breeding project... Your potential for catching that rainbow should increase. For those folks looking into breeding--- Many well known breeders prize the male more so than the female for breeding. Anyhow, it's always a roll of the dice with seeds. ALTHOUGH, it all starts from seed---To me it's kind of amazing when ya look at it and think about all that information it contains... To me that's where the excitement & potential is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Medical Gardens Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Seriously... Its all relative. I grow and LOVE 3 of the cup winners last year. The Super Lemon Haze pheno i got is AMAZING! hands down. and the OG 18 is killer. and the pheno of the Vanillia Kush is sick also. But when finding the phenos i found i went through a bunch that were not at all up to par. but gratitude and luck can give you treasure. and each grower does a different job, hell, the same growers results may differ per harvest. there is alot of conspiracy around every major cup. but i love these 3 strains...

tricloud Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've had a number of the cc winners and have yet to be impressed. Some even from dispensaries and I would hope they would have some idea of the medicine they have. The thing is that the breeder usually enters the contest with a choice plant which he may have selected from 10,000 plants. You have to get real lucky sometimes to get that cup winning super sport pheno. Most growers don't have the opportunity to grow the prime example of the cup winner. That being said it is a sad thing that it can be so difficult to get a prime plant from a $150 pack of beans. Shame on the breeders who give false impressions......

avgjoe Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yeah a number of breeders come to mind,GHS is my pick for worst representation of a strain(s). I would love to see how some of your strains would compare to the cup winners tricloud. Haven't found anything that can touch your Cinderella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
