Title: What is the best marijuana strain?
Post by: Believe on August 08, 2013, 03:21 pm
I have been smoking for about a year now, and just wanted to hear you guys out! Post your favorite(s) strains and let me know why! :p

Some of my personal favorite thus far are:

Purple Kush - I had some strong sativa highs, and I got pretty active while high
Blue Dream - Man, a lot of people told me this is the shit... When I smoked it, I understood why lol it gave me a good mix of body high & head high, and it felt like a really nice mix of the two.
Bubba Kush - Strong body high.. Perfect for night time :)

It is all hype...Didn't really notice any of the mint characteristics which are drooled over. Of course I could have  gotten a poor example of the strain..

I kind of like them all I guess. Weed is like pizza and sex, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.

I like my sativas so I have to say Critical Neville haze, Takes 12 freaking weeks to finish flower but It's almost psychedelic.

We should get a poll up in this thread!

I've been smoking weed for 18+ years, and I would say that my tolerance at this moment in time is pretty absurd.  I can easily smoke 7-10 grams of tippy top end flowers in a day, and not get smashed, nor burnt out.  Usually to get a 'good strong high', I need monster dabs of the best wax or shatter I can find.  It's honestly disgusting how much pot I smoke. 

Anyway, that being stated; my top 3 are:

Silver Pearl ( Northern Lights#5 x Skunk#1 x Early Pearl)
Alpha Kush ( Alpha Diesel x Dr. Candyman OG)
*Master Kush ( Hindu Kush x Skunk#1 x Hindu Kush - preferred genetics)

Silver Pearl and Master both have incredibly loud, musky, pungent smells and flavors, with astounding highs.  Alpha Kush is simply the most beautiful thing ever, and definitely one for Sour, OG, and Headband fans.

In all seriousness weed is very subjective.  However if you haven't tried OG kush I suggest you do!  It's in a category of its own.

You got a bad (or fake) strain then.

I've had about ten different varieties of GSC and all of them have been lovely.

I also like Erkle Wreck, Don Corleone, Cherry Pie, White Fire, Headband.

I have some GSC coming from MrGreenThumb --he's never done me wrong.  Never had the strain before, so I am excited to see what the fuss is about.

Of the strains you mentioned, the only one I've never had is "Don Corleone", THAT sounds like a strain I want. You know the genetics off the top of your skull?

If you were fried for 12 hours from one bowl of marijuana then it was laced with something.

Dispensary is out right now so they don't have the description shown anymore and the only references I can find online are for Corleone Kush which is a cross between Pre 89 Bubba x SFV OGK F4.

When they list it again I'll try to remember to report back.

Honestly one of the best strains I've gotten from the road is farmer1's Skush.  Quality high all the way.

Also the GSC I got from NCK was great but it was definitely an outdoor and I'd like to try an indoor version of it to compare.

Other than that I've tried Blue Dream and liked it I wasn't insane about it or anything but it was good.

Interesting article. 

Maybe your body chemistry is different or something but there is absolutely no way in fuck smoking of any cannabis product of any sort (flower, concentrate, hash) would have me FRIED beyond 3 hours.

Edibles are different as they can sit in the stomach and slowly leak into the bloodstream over time.  But with smoking, all of the THC is immediately transferred from lungs to bloodstream, and after that it begins to taper off.  There is no way around this.

No matter how fucking high I get that tapering happens rather quickly and usually after about two hours it has pretty much worn off of me unless I haven't smoked in a REALLY long time.  Then it might be four hours.

Ok, this is easy.


The best strain boils down to two options, in the sense that they are the two most wildly popular strains out there. 
True OG Kush completely locked the whole nation for a long time, from rappers (wiz khalifa has a batch specially grown for him, so did snoop dogg for the longest time) to dispensaries, even today some of the highest prices are for a top notch version of OG Kush.   Vendor OGBryan offers a good version of OG but not the best I've ever smoked.  I have not bought OG from another vendor

Sour Diesel is my vote for best strain, uplifting (not tiring) high with little to no comedown and one of the richest tastes I've ever had in weed.  Vendor 4me2know occasionally offers it and he has a very good product, again not the best version I've had but it was excellent.


As far as any other strain: I had a great experience with some Afghan Gooey at a festival a couple of years ago, it was some of the strongest I had ever smoked at the time.  There was also a batch of Romulan at that same festival that had a wonderful cure and honeycomb structure and tasted EXACTLY like a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.  I would literally pay $100 for an 8th if someone could provide me with that exact bud again.

Truthfully; however, what really makes a good weed only partially has to do with genetics, if the plants do not have ideal growing conditions, are not flushed properly, or are not allowed to cure at a slow rate and then stored properly, you will not receive a product that is quality in taste, aroma, or length and quality of buzz.
My Qualifications:  I have grown and consumed 100's of different varieties of cannabis over the last 10+ years.  I have been smoking dispensary grade dank since 2003, and before that was growing my own.  I have smoked from blunts, joints, pipes, non-percolated bongs, percolated bongs, hash skillets, vaporizers, vape pens, and once when I was very young out of the side of a powerade bottle covered in tin foil.  I know my dank.

Great thread :-)

Most popular does not usually equal Best, but, I think adding a Poll to this thread would be good, though long with choices.

Another good question might be "what strain makes the best quality oil/wax". I wonder if that answer would be the same?

I was going to say the same thing.  OG Kush is in abundance here not because it's the best, but because there's a LOT of it being grown.  It's a well known strain, and many growers have experience with it, and I'm sure that gets passed down a lot.  Sour Diesel is almost tiresome on the East Coast, also.  I like both of those strains, but it would be VERY hard for me to put either of those in my top 10 for unique flavor, and potency.

Another good question might be "what strain makes the best quality oil/wax". I wonder if that answer would be the same?

The technique used to create the oil/wax is what really gets you the quality.  You can obviously look at cannibinoid percentages after that they try and achieve the highest concentration of sources, but I don't think any particular strains are easier or turn out better product when converting to wax or oil (or cannabutter).  Maybe a little more potent because you chose a more potent strain to start but that's it.

Usually for people making these sorts of things they are growing it personally though since it usually takes more product to get a good oil return compared to flowers one would buy for smoking..  In this case, harvesting at the precise time can significantly effect the type of cannibinoids in the plant and impact the type of high it provides.

As in the question about the best strain of buds, I think we should assume the best methods would be used for production when trying to answer the question. I'd guess there is no "best" bud or oil for everyone as people's tastes differ. That said, If the oil was 100% active ingredients (including flavoring, smoothing,...ingredients) so it was the most powerful/tasty/smooth/... oil that could be made from each strain, I'd guess some strains would be better than others for this unless distilling any strain down to a particular ingredient or two would provide the best (and equally great) oil. I hope the best oils would be more than just a pure chemical (or 2 in a preferred ratio).

I agree OGBryan's OG Kush is my personal favorite strain, the unique pungent smell will literally make your nose curl it's that funky! my nonsmoking wife damn near gets sick whenever i whip some out and i just grin and laugh and tell her the stankier the better! ;D I refuse to use a grinder with bud this great it's sticky as shit from all the crystally trichomes its littered with so i take time and enjoy breaking it down and rolling up!! im an everyday smoker for a long time and this True OG does the job everytime without fail..i could go on but i probably already said too much, i dont want you buying up all my og :-X
