Strain help

[Wic]

Hi everyone
Firstly, happy New Year's to all.
Hopefully this is in the right place as iv never used a forum before..I'm from S.A and have a hard time finding quality strain or people with experience to help advise me on good strains.im looking at ordering again and have been thinking about the following:
Bc bud depot : gods gift
Kaliman seeds : rockster cheese
TGA : querkle
Ken este: granddaddy purple
Pheno finder : sunset aka sunset sherbert(if still available)
Purple urkle (if it's available in seed form)
TGA : cheesequake
Was also interested in something called royal Dutch cheese although I can't find anything about them or the apparent breeder royal Dutch genetics.love me some cheese but variety never killed anyone.please if anyone can give me feedback these I'd greatly appreciate it.i prefer regs but I can live with fems too.Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated

Pick what you like. ... it wont matter soon youll want more or different .
.just the nature of the beast

Welcome to the sickness of deciding on beans ha ha.

I can say i had decent luck with tga i think it was a timewarp
If had good results with most breeders ive used but that could be luck of the draw .

But never really got a "dud" some are just better then other and sometimes you get a bad seed or runt.

Ones that i HAVE bought twice
Are dna lemon skunk
Paradise white berry.
Out of all the beans ive tried

I bought more of these just hoping to get as good of plants as the first time.

Which is rare cause once i try something im notmally not going to buy it agaain if i lost the strain there are thousands to takenits place.

But when you find a gem you hold onto it ..till you find a better gem and run out of room and have to choose

Awesome.thanks so much for the feedback Cold$m.the choices are deff endless and the search for that one pheno is always the quest.il deff checkout those you suggested.white berry sounds interesting.thanks again.was hoping more people would add to this.hopefully in some more time they will.

What is your climate like? Purp strains tend to form extremely dense buds, which is great, but if you live in a humid climate and don't have adequate ways to control it you are at risk of bud rot. Just something to keep in mind.

I would suggest starting with a 'classic' like Northern Lights. Easy to grow, productive and, in my opinion a very good smoke. Your experience with a stable strain will give you a point of comparison that everyone will understand. For example, you could say something is "... more sedating than NL" or "... won't put you to sleep on the couch like NL".

I did not do this when I started and later in my growing education I realized that I needed a way to describe to others what I had grown. I now use the NL scale to describe my plants to others.

If been smoking and growing for a few years and currently have a very special cheese I found a few years back which iv got in my garden.iv grown a few strains in the past that iv ordered or found by chance from other people who had ordered.some kush varieties,some cheese varieties,have grown northern lights.wasnt bad.i really enjoyed tangie but have battled to find a banging pheno again.thinking about it, i have grown a wide variety of strains (bank bought or friend gifted) though few have ever stayed longer than a year or so in my garden unlike my current cheese I have.im pretty lucky where I am climate wise.more sunny and dry apposed to humid and rainy but we do have those periods after heavy rain where humidity spikes but that I'm sure happens everywhere.im really just wanting to try new things and GDP and gods gift have always intrigued me along with the other few I listed in my 1st post.
Maybe one day Il be lucky enough to get legit cuttings bought there and shipped here but sadly that's still a pipe dream for now.

P.s. cheesequake is legit. At least the cut I had was. A joy to grow and amazing smoke.

That's often what I see from reading diff sites or reviews.everyone talks of cuts they get which always makes me wonder about seeds vs cutting but I have found decent pheno's from seeds so something good is better than nothing at all.thanks for the advice and feedback guys.

For me personally I've always preferred seeds. More uncertainty than with clones obviously, but I enjoy pheno hunting. Always the chance that you find that one in a million pheno that blows you away.

That is very true.pheno hunting can be fun.i would do it a lot more if my current exchange rate wasn't so bad.plus running the gauntlet with customs can suck too. I do prefer regs to fems so I can cross my own either to get more of the same or something new.my cheaper way of pheno hunting I guess.
