First off I have been following BOG genetics ever since way back when he only had a couple strains. I quit the game for a while and come back and all the new BOG lineup is looking nice now the trouble is deciding which.
To give my perspective on testing. is first off qaulity is king over potency. For example some pre 98 bubba has only 8% thc, but it felt like sex. The 1st round of questions goes as follows for me...Is the high consistent and long lasting? Does the high feel clean? Are there any noticable comedown effects? What specific ailments did I have before smoking and which ones did they help and how? Under what conditions has my body been under prior to smoking? After comes visual appeal, smell, taste, bud structure, etc.
I believe any natural factor such as altitude, weather, seasons, humidity, appetite, atmospheric pressure, sunlight, moon cycle and more can have influence on your high vs. innerstress such as physical or emotional. If I tested a strain on a day I put my mind and body through extra stress, the score would be higher that day for effectiveness. I promise if you test a strain smoking it under different conditions and not building too much of a tolerance, then you will find for what type of moment is this strain optimal for.
