My experience with Nirvana Seeds, was that of 20 regular beans (not fem) only 8 germinated, and only 3 turned to be female.
Of the 3 females, 2 were Swiss Cheese and 1 Aroura Indica.
Neither Swiss Cheese, had any smell or trichs, one had beautiful physical structure, with fairly dense flowers and high bud to leaf ratio, but NO SMELL! Totally ODORLESS!
The other Swiss Cheese was so crappy, leafy and loose with sparse flowers, and no smell, that it went immediately to edibles. It wasn't wortht the effort to manicure and harvest.
Lastly, the Aroura Indica female had that real dank aroma, with super sticky trichs all the way out to the tips of the sugar/bud leaves. It's okay structurally, fair flower to leaf ratio, poor bud density and average sized colas. Not great, considering.
So, that's one plant out of twenty that produced a fair product. I think that sucks, but, I admit... a lot of it is luck of the draw.
Ultimately, the quality is truly dependent on its genetics, but who has the best most dependable beans?
I should have been suspicious when I read that one of the parents of the Swiss Cheese, Swiss Miss, had been discontinued. Why? That should have been a clue. Next time I want to buy beans from a better breeder of a more stable strain. I am really disappointed. I did breed some seeds from both strains. I wonder if any of my Swiss Cheese will smell next year? I'm hoping out of the 50+ seeds from the Swiss Cheese I bred this year, that there is at least some phenos of it that will be full of trichomes and smell dank, and the same hope goes for the 50+ Aroura Indica seeds I grew, somewhere in there I'm bound to find some top notch genetics...
What does anyone else outhtere think?
And who has the most dependable and highest quality genetics, because frankly, Nirvana's ain't that great!
