You and i have the same taste mate. I just got a pack of c99 and dropped the whole pack acording to Mr sly they have the same mom and dad cuts and I hope to find my old evil pheno. I have a killer cut of strawberry diesel and love me a pure indica. Now if I could find my old blackberry kush is be setOver the past 10 years, I have found that my "keepers" tend to not be overbred, overhybridized strains. I prefer simplicity. That's just me, I'm certainly not trying to insult anyone. LA Confidential (before DNA lost their Mother plants for this strain) was amazing. Happy, ridiculously stoned yet I could go to the bar on it and dance on the table tops. Pretty awesome for pure indica that is a landrace Afghan plant crossed with an afghan plant grown in LA by some Hippy for 20 years. I can take 3 hits off a joint and my back won't hurt for 3 days and I'll wake up the next day happy, in a great mood.
Brothers Grimm C99 was amazing like that - made me want to get naked and run down the middle of the street laughing. Now I'm talking about the Holy Grail cut, not other company's C99. Recently ran some old school William's Wonder that was amazing as well.
I just prefer simpler strains, that haven't traveled too far from their lineage. Strawberry Diesel, Bubblelicious, Blue Mystic, Northern Lights, I think the Strawberry diesel is one of the most hybridized strains I run. I think.
Some other strains I've tried lately, had no weird to the buzz at all. And the buzz only lasted an hour. pretty shameful for a grower to put out bud like that

Keeper must be full package. Most important to me is the effect. If it doesn't crack the bell then what's the point?
Yes great aromatics, yes great flavor, yes great bag appeal- but when I hear kids these days say "I smoke for flavor" I want to smack them and hand them a pack of hookah tobacco while they walk away from me.
That said- what makes a high great is purely subjective. I think the only strain everyone loves is NL5, the rest have many lovers and detractors.
I wasn't a huge fan of the bruce5 I did however run the hell out of the #3 for a very long time my strawberry diesel cut came from Philly back in 01 its a huge yeilder done in 10 weeks super frosty dense candy nugs with a vanilla cream taste my friends call it strawberry n cream diesel. I see people post the old blackberry I just haven't seen it in ColoradoThe BBK is all over the PNW still from what I see on here. Lots of folks out there running it. That is one of my all time favorites for a nice mellow out smoke. The Bruce Banner #5 (Strawberry Diesel pheno) is an amazing plant, from what I am told she is a spitting image of a true keeper Strawberry Diesel. The #5 has a crazy high that lots of people can't hang with. May have to snag some of those C99 beans for real the way you're all talking.
Bag appeal is something I should care about, but just can't seemed to get myself too. I know that in the IG age of best bud, it matters to other people. I just have never had a good tasting Insagram post... kekekek
Have been in a position where I haven't been out smoke for over a decade, I can say there is SOMETHING to smoking soley for flavour, in so much that if your cannabinoid levels are at saturation, you start smoknig mostly for flavour. I have been known to smoke whole ounces in a single day in the past(a waste I know now) just to keep that flavour fresh in my mouth. This is specifically why I look for cuts that seem to have no cap on how high you can get. The real Sour D, our Starkiller cut (Natalie Portman Cut when you see it out there some day.), Chocolate Thai from 2003, Kali Mist from way back are the only examples I have ever personally run across of this no ceiling trait.
I will say that I just realized that I have very different standards for outdoor keeper cuts than I do indoor. The Pinetar Kush is by far the best outdoor plant I have ever personally ran, insane resistants to issues in moist/high RH% climates, huge yielder of unforgettable tasting, super stoney smoke. Hate running it inside.
I sort of see cultivars as characters in an RPG. You can only get some many points in any one trait, elites having the most total points, so sacrafices are always made in one area so that another may shine.
Much to my chagrin, I think that the legit GG#4 hits all the marks. I had never had decent glue to smoke. One of the crew REALLY wanted to run it at least once and I eventually caved. Seeing that plant really loved on and in it's full glory just straight mind fuct me.
The ATF is another that I will NEVER let go of again. Lawdy what a lady she is.
It's in these moments that I stop smoking for a few months rather than waste cannabis.Have been in a position where I haven't been out smoke for over a decade, I can say there is SOMETHING to smoking soley for flavour, in so much that if your cannabinoid levels are at saturation, you start smoknig mostly for flavour

to me a keeper is whatever you like
I've grown train wreck a few times big yielders of not too shabby grade weed but defo not in my topHa! I grow the old train wreck as well I use to have the most amazing killer queen but she is looooong gone. Haven't really found anything like it since. I'm not a huge fan of the og's didn't care for the Bruce banner. But I grow a lot of the e32 and an older amnesia haze and Williams wonder got a powerhouse afghani landrace but They just seem to excel in flavor taste. I'm not worried about potency all that much I have quart jars full of dry sift I sprinkle on if need be.
