Favourite Strain Appreciation Thread

[Quetzalcoatl]

I like my delivery guy personally but he is in it for the money (Traded new TDI diesel in for a V8 Charger). I suspect from looking close at his herb awhile back that they might be tumble sifting what they sell and then sell me the same oil with who knows what's in there. I feel so much better lately just knowing what I use is totally clean. Vaping at high temps seems to be helping my anxiety/depression also.

I did not think I liked sativas much either but my latest one was freaking amazing and I vaped it all first.

It could also be the way they trim, I know a few of the bigger dispensary operations love using those machine trimmer things that tumble the weed in one end and there's blades that clip stuff and then the weed tumbles down and out all nicely trimmed but bounced around a bunch between start and finish.

love using those machine trimmer

Looking at all the good stuff at the bottom, I bet they do.

I think I've found a new favourite, Critical Kush. I believe it's one of those fast-flowering 'commercial' Dutch strains but never mind that, it does the job. A real heavy hitting Indica which mellows out 10-15 minutes in.

Retired my Sativas for special occasions now. I can't handle the anxiety from them anymore as a regular vape,

I've got a white widow that I was excited about, but it's really shooting up tall so I researched it and there's two phenotypes. I evidently have the more sativa-dominant one oh well. I'll take a couple of shoots of it and flower early, but I'm probably also going to phase it out pretty quickly. So I just selected a blue cheese seed to take it's place (I think it's the same as cheeseberry), will plant it tomorrow seems like a pure indica.

1995 Amsterdam Cannabis Cup Winner White Widow. Really nice but found some Steamy Windows in the Front Page on Zoutsteeg. Never had or seen anything like it then or since. It certainly lived up to its name. A lot of the smaller coffee shops had better quality than the Widow but they never got put forward and just disappeared.
Just re-read this and felt quite old lol

The best bud I have ever had was white widow from Amsterdam in the late 90's, haven't had anything like it since

The strain has changed since it first came out as have many. It's all gone mental since the 90's. So many strains so little time to sample. Super silver haze was another one I enjoyed usually mixed with some Northern Lights Haze 5. Much to the disgust of the guy in the Greenhouse selling me it.

 

[420engineer]

I've got a super silver haze in the ground right now, should be done in about 12 weeks

I had some ww in la in the early 2000's, it was amazing haven't had it since. Shortly before that was when I went to a'dam, that was when I fell in love with blueberry and big bang. The latter is still a favorite

Black widow from mr nice seeds .. the original bred by shantibaba. Thank me in 3 months

 

[phattpiggie]

My favorite when in Amsterdam was usually the most expensive on the menu. Not been since 2001. 1995 to 2001 most years in November for the Cannabis Cup. Coffee shops got a lot going on free food and beer in some. Finest weed usually harvested the Xmas before then cured until the November.

My favorite overall strain for general use, especially during the day, is Sour Diesel. True Sour Diesel is very consistent, although many people try to pass off lower quality product as SD because the name is so recognizable. The smell is a dead giveaway, very unique. Even the very good NYC Diesel and Lemon Diesel strains have a slightly different odor.

For nighttime use or when I just want to get totally gone, Death Star is great. Sour Diesel crossed with Sensi Star, with a powerhouse Sativa and Indica as parents you know the kid is going to be beautiful.

On my Legendary List are a few strains I was only able to get once at a high quality. All other times I found them from different growers they were good but nothing special:

Alaskan Thunderfuck circa 1999, Sensi Star circa 2001, and some strain I don't even know the name of circa 2009. That last one was nicknamed Supernatural because that kind of quality just shouldn't be able to exist in Nature. That one is the best I've had by far, I happened to have a passing acquaintance with the grower, who always had great quality, but the Supernatural was something else completely.

 

[grokit]

So I'm finally starting to explore a couple of new strains in my garden.

The two clones are a lanky sativa-dominant(?) phenotype of white widow. I have their mother flowering unconventionally because it's so tall. I think they may be from nirvana, not sure though. The sprout in the middle is blue cheese from barney's. These should both provide a contrast to my old standby strain, big bang. I only have room to flower two types ongoing, so we will see which strains survive the purge.

Holy Grail. By far the most intense and potent indica I've ever vaped. Just finished a bag from the volcano and I feel like I took 5 big dabs back to back. This stuff is absolutely insane. I'm sweating bullets and that doesn't happen unless I get ridiculously high and it hasn't happened since I moved and got the tolerance of an elephant. Flashbacks of my first dab are coming back haha. This is why I love cannabis.

Current favorite is gorrila glue 4. Such a great taste and buzz, and the grower says high yields as well.

What is the Pinnacle Pro 2? Did I miss something. I looked and didn't see that one? Is that with the glass mouthpiece insert, but basically the same unit?

One of my new fav strains is called Gorilla Glue. It's a potent hybrid cannabis, good medicine for pain.

 

[BabyFacedFinster]

Lest I anger the weed gods, I just want to say that I just appreciate having cannabis back in my life again. I stopped in my 20's for whatever reason and just having trouble finding it. We used to buy it by the fingers back then (you know, a one finger or two finger bag) and who knows what kind it was. But it was always a special occasion to have a good session with friends.

Maybe it's my lack of taste buds or lack of knowledge in variety, but I can't tell the difference between many of these strains. I mean I can generally tell between a sativa and indica by effects and most sativas have a citrusy smell. But I can't recognize a difference between different indicas. I just know I like them very much especially at time. Sativas will also tend to give me the panics, but I will make a blend of ground herb, 80% indica 20% sativa.

My favorite cannabis is a nice relaxing indica. We used to smoke it, but now smoking tastes like burnt crap.

Right now, I have a Snow Dawg sativa which would kick my ass inside out, if I tried to vape it straight out. I also have something called Kush It which is an indica by Humboldt seeds. The Kush It is my buddy. I am hoping to try a new dispensary with many more varieties so I can explore some more. The problem is my current dispensary has a lousy selection, but its well grown and it's damn cheap. and I'm cheap too.

@BabyFacedFinster Do you smoke tobacco? Do you occasionally smoke joints? I have a theory that you have to clear your palate by abstaining from smoke to allow your taste buds to regenerate from being covered in soot and being burned. Takes a few weeks but while I am an admitted pig I think I am a connoisseur instead of some kind of sewer.

 

[mixchu69]

Tried Dr. Green thumbs jet fuel og and it is ok, not worth $60 1/8th.

My favorite that I recently picked up from my dispensary is birthday cake og and orange cookies.

I don't smoke and haven't combusted anything since a joint last summer. I do see how if someone did smoke it would affect your ability to taste well.
I actually rotate between 3 vapes: a firefly, a lotus and my vapor bros desktop. Right now I am digging on my VB through a bubbler. I have been eyeing an e nano but have spent enough recently.

 

[420engineer]

$60 for 3.5 gram? wtf? it is illegal here, but still only £25 for a 'Henry at the top end of the scale :/

If you have a chance to get Animal Cookies, I recommend it very highly. It's a cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Fire OG.

 

[cityslang]

Nearly had some sour diesel the smell was amazing but the force was strong so Skywalker OG it was. Could have mixed and matched but had the whole oz of it.

Skywalker OG is the best IMO this is the short indica pheno average yield turkish delight jetfuel smell no hint of anything slightly lemon as some I've read do.
