but
c99, apollo 11 etc etc ................. but there not real sativa highs
WHAT?!!! C99. at least joey weed's version smokes just like kali mist! they're BOTH energetic & euphoric strains whose biggest differences are merely their flowering times and flavors. i'd much rather grow C99 than kali mist, ESPECIALLY now that it's former delicious crush red pepper has been corrupted by fruity and reduced to spicy. YAWN! there's too much fruit out there already. original KM was one of my favorite flavors.
i swear y'all keep putting words in my mouth without listening to what i'm saying at all. it would be NICE to have something better than HxS, but it's a practical indoor strain and haze skunk kicks much ass & makes ME very very content. i'll try to find better and think i can. it's RIDICULOUS in the extreme to say that the first trippy strain i've tried is the best in the world that can be done indoors. absolutely ridiculous! as much of a rep as TGA has for selecting superior breeders, i could see him making something a few points higher. this isn't a be all end all mission for me anymore. i totally have 3 strains i love already that are just fine with me and want to have fun looking for better. had i not gotten
ZERO out of THREE attempts to grow IBLs, i'd still be chasing them, but they're too much of an improbable dream FOR ME.
one last time, when i have the ability to, i WILL give them another try and get some more full moons until i hear that someone has some vietnamese, cambodian or malawi gold etc. that isn't total BS like vancouver island, delta 9 & seedsman. i don't like gambling. i'll stick to what works and am GRATEFUL that haze skunk, super cali haze & 8 miles high all do. maybe they're not good enough FOR YOU, but i love 'em all. trying to find something better is just a fun hobby. i believe it can be done. i bet a nickel that sannies' killing fields probably is better, but i don't want a part in THAT one.
i have my priorities, you have yours. do what makes you happy, and don't worry about what makes ME happy. it's like i'm talking to a bunch of brick walls here. yes, i know IF you could even FIND an IBL that isn't BS, it will be better than any corrupted hybrid. i've been reading up on and chasing IBLs since they vanished around 1987, so don't insult my intelligence like i don't know the difference, OK? i bet ace seeds' stuff really is worth the effort. i'm not arguing that it isn't! it's just not worth it to me when haze skunk is more than good enough and anything better i find is just a happy bonus.
i'm just not ready to give my entire room up to just a couple plants that might end up being no shows, males or even hermies and getting NOTHING for my efforts a FOURTH time. i'll stick with what i know works and that's good enough for me.
i don't know where you get that C99 is stoney either. that's a crock & a half! skunk #1 & blueberry? yeah, those are stony, but C99 is TOO energetic to even sit still on, at least to me and i DESPISE even a little stone. it's not my favorite smoke because it's clear headed & racy, but it's a really good strain for working IBLs into something better than afghani ruined gear like all the crap on the market.
IBLs have given ME nothing but trouble with no actual bud to smoke all 3 times i tried them. fool me 3 times... you know where i'm going with that.
I feel that feminizing is essentially going against nature, there is no reason why males shouldn't exist.
it's called planned obsolescence. offering your "one of a kind" strain only in feminized form assures that you'll have the market cornered and that no one can reproduce it in pure form. if you get regulars of anything, you never need to buy it a second time AND with some selective breeding, you can even improve on it, but with fems, you're assured that your gear will have to be polluted by another strain to be able to back cross AND that whoever tries to do it will have to contend with potential hermie issues too. i don't like fems either, but in the case of super cali haze, that's the ONLY way i know to get true grape pheno haze indoors with a reasonable flowering time. i WISH is were available as a reg.
