This may be off topic but did anyone see High Times this month? TGA Subcools Cheesequake was in the top 10???? Now I've grown Cheesequake, and it was nice, but the high is much much superior on my Qrazy Train. Cheesequake is one of TGA Subcools strains that I wont order again (and I always got something by subcool growing, best seeds and smoke!). Out of all of Subcools amazing strains i'm just shocked that Cheesequake is the one that made the top 10. Something fishy, or maybe I just don't like cheese.
i'd take ANYTHING high times says with a grain of salt. they're a magazine. you get props in magazines by "playing the game" (buying advertising). i talked to someone once who had their own line of a product, and couldn't even get it reviewed by a magazine devoted to that product until he bought so much advertising. just like the cannabis cup, i'd be inclined to think it works just like politics... you wanna get some PR, you gotta pay for it.
i'm sure at least a few here are familiar with rants in forums against KC brains' gear, but his mango was in a high times top 25 strains of all time list making me wonder what's up with that.
if you read up on the cannabis cup, you'll see implications made about politics there too. if you want to know the REAL lowdown on any strain, just read about it from as many commoners as possible or share your own experience. sure, i bet some reviews are fakes, but no breeder can be everywhere and if their gear sucks, they'll get shouted down. there'd be riots in the streets i think if anyone posted a "greenhouse is the greatest breeder in the world!" thread or a "shop at BC bud depot!" one.
fortunately for TGA though, his gear does hold up to peer review. those comments are actually the first negative ones i've heard about anything of his, but you jilly bean review confirmed what everyone else seems to say... his stuff is above average at worst.
Whats the story behind cannabiogen gear? never hear much about them
i haven't really seen anything said about them other than a few years ago regarding destroyer when someone that tried it said it didn't live up to the quality you'd expect from columbian & thai and that it was just decent, but not spectacular. actually, the review was very disheartening to me as i popped a woody when i heard about the strain and saw that crystal shiny bud closeup. i wish there were more reviews out there too. i know i was jealous of a forum member that got a 5 pack of destroyers as freebies when i got kush freebies i wasn't enthused about. i'd definitely grow it if i could, but wouldn't buy it without some raves.
, I wish I was an expert my friend. I just put 100% heart in and it repays me back sweetly as you see.
