e$cobar vs. soma, who's NYCD is better?

[Clankie]

He did the Blue Saty too didn't he. Just popped those too.

He did indeed. Are you doing a journal on that? I'm starting 4 each of Sannie's Jack, Killing Fields F3, and KO Kush today. I like the look of the blueberry sativa, but I am running a ton of sativas already, and the Jack and Killing Fields will probably be the last ones I get for a while. I'm thinking of the New Blue Diesel as my next Sannie's/BC strain, although I also want to try the Caramel Cough from Dynasty, Dynsasty's Ms Universe x Colorado (Fort Collins) Cough, which is an oft-imitated and impersonated rare old NL 5 / Haze #17 hybrid that shows an extreme Thai expression that has a 13-14 week flower but produces beautiful chronic. (At least my clones always did).
Regardless, everything I've gotten from Sannie's has been great, and even though if you are in the US you have to sign for his stuff, the stealth is almost hilariously awesome.

I've grown Esko's Anesthesia, Cheeseberry Haze and Chocolate Rain numerous times.........I love his stuff. For the price, NO ONE offers better quality. Here's a pic of the "EXTREME" sativa pheno, flowering at day 50 (YES, DAY 50), smells like pine even after dehydrating it for 2 hours. Plant is tall, light and small spears of buds, but the resin is encrusted already. The buzz, after 1 hit, is all sativa---- all in the head and eyes, temples and farhead, mood is up and buzzy. This is the pheno people keep when they are looking for "the keeper" in this strain. Only 1 out of 24 plants started is this pheno.....

This is a little late for this thread ..as of Nove. Seed Depot is selling Eskobar....bought choc rain via Sannies but came accross ad while ordering Mosca C99. Eskobar: buy a pack get a pack free. Shipping is out of Spain for all SD sales, like everything else handled by post office there is no up to date tracking (inclluding last month's order from Sannies).

Ran 20 chocolate rains and found 1 really tasty berry pheno and 1 really tasty sour cream pheno, none were above a 7 in potency and most were closer to a 5. As for the NYCD f4's, that pack is so far a big let down. Only got 3 to go. I started them with some Nevile's Haze mixes, Far Purple, and G13 x WW, all of which are kicking ass, so the NYCD's either need a lot more veg time to catch up or are just weak. The Blueberry Sativa's I started a month sooner are doing well, one christmas tree shaped one and one super sativa looking one. So far I would have to say I won't order from Esco again. Great cheap genetic's but not worth a penny extra. Everyone made them out to be the greatest, well maybe in that price range.

I have heard a couple of negatives on Sannies and escobar's potency. Let me ask you Bigtacofarmer. Tell me some of your most potent strains that you have grown please. Thanks.

That sucks man. I was hoping you'd get a nice diesel out of those.

I love my chocolate rain. It isnt hammering potency. It is a great smoke with a great buzz. If you want to melt into the floor, then go for something else. If you want to feel alive and ready to take on the world, smoke some chocolate rain.

I got some of the first NYCD gear that Soma put out in like 2001 and it all hermed bad and seeded out a very large grow of many strains with shit s#eds.
