Most Overrated Strain?

I agree that OG is severely over rated, and yes I have had the legit OG's before. Good flavor yea, the high at time could be well lacking in some departments for me. I like me og's still but in general way too fucking over rated.
 
Lmao... I've grown and smoked all types of weed and like I said the best till this day is Tahoe og!!! I really don't know what people are talking about with that.. But I guess it's different strokes for different folks!

Never said I disliked just claimed was over rated, and yeah different strokes for different folks. I am a Socal'er born and raised just such a major OG burnout over here. I have been more on the Platinum Bubba lately.

I've had good widow, OG, and blueberry. Although I could never see how the widow got so popular (must be looks). I would say the most over rated strain are those where someone didn't choose from a large population. I know you can get lucky with one but surely not that often. Every pack I ever started had some that were better than others. Breeders should be more up front about how many seeds it takes to score a winner and growers should know that when they start a single bean or even a pack that likely does not represent the full potential. If I had a seed company I would not want people to start single because 3 months later a bunch of know it alls would be comlaining about how it wasn't that great. I've grown packs from Greenhouse (pre 95), Sagmartha, Dutch Passion, Reeferman, DNA, G-13, Soma, Dinafem, Cali Conn, TGA, Serious, friends myself and a few others. I think that great plants are really only 1 in 20 or even worse. When I buy weed from others I alway try to find out how many they killed looking for the good one and its kinda insulting to the breeders and the custumer to see some of the crap even named when I know there must be some good ones in there.
That being said I think the most ever rated would probably be the White Widow. I've smoked it and grown it and its an awesome plant with strong flavor and high, just not the flavor and high that I want. Although if paying top dollar from a stanger I would be glad to score some widow as it don't take much and don't taste bad. Also I grew a single dinafem Moby Dick and that was one of the strongest, easiest, best yeilding plants ever and it looked fantastic, smelled like a gas station and made people ask if I had anything else. After a perfect cure it tasted like lawn clippings and gas. And not that green immature taste but like you just cut the lawn and gas. Not good. But stoney ass shit and arm size cola of crystal covered nugs!

what do you all think is the most overrated marijuana strain there is. id have to say white widow, ik back in its hayday it was great but no one seems to grow good white widow anymore
then you probably havent done Mr Nice Black Widow (aka original White Widow, renamed due to all the knockoff versions being sold today)

i'm with WBW on this one, the Tahoe OG is straight fire in my opinion. one of my top favorite smokes. and then theres the original Sour Diesel which just reminds me of lemonheads that were double dipped in gasoline. i would easily smoke them even if they weren't potent as hell because they just taste so damned good.

if you want over rated,
Green House
Barneys
Doggies Nuts
and any auction site that is selling 10 beans for thousands of dollars ;)

This is spot on .. its not about overrated strains.. every strain that has a popular name out there is GREAT.. but there are WAY to many people who order 1 seed... or 1 pack of seeds .. grow it and say ..wow it wasnt that good.. when someone else gets a pack that has a GREAT pheno .. and its the best thing they ever had. Its not about strain name.. its about finding the right pheno in each strain.. I have 2 kinds of white widow.. one is amazing.... every time I smoke it .. i am so impressed.. the other one I got from a freebie on attitude that I grew out.. is not that great.. if it was the only widow I ever tried.. I would prob be on here saying its overrated....

SO its all about what pheno you get of that particular strain...

I will say.. OG is the most overrated term/strain name its ridiculous .. Im in so cal .. and everything is called a OG.. Cat piss OG ..Obama OG.. its fucking ridiculous

every strain nirvana offers has bad genitics, long flowering times and the end result is nothing like the pic they supply or the description.

Anything KUSH! I like kush, but its only one strain of many, and it seems to get a lot of hype. I prefer haze based hybrids over kush hybrids any day.

i found OG from DNA/reserva crap aswell. it was a basic afghani with no stone or high.
But the OG18X Skunk is another thing
OG18 is from the SFV cut and I must say OG strains are everywhere in Cali but I can definitely say if you grow any OG with the SFV cut you will not be disappointed the taste and stoney vibe is great.

Greem House may be over rated but they hit the nail on the head with Super Lemon Haze.

if I got to go thru more than 1 pack of seeds to find a winner, I try a different breeder or strain
I see the point there but if I buy 4 packs I can almost guarantee I get a better one than you. I love it when every bean rocks but all that really means is that there is some even better ones in there and if I get the better seed then anyone growing out the singles is likely degrading the reputation of the better pheno. I think its bullshit when you have to buy multiple packs to find one good plant. But I makes sense that if you had honest breeders that explain pheno selection a little better (I see alot of the newer companys doing this) I wouldn't mind buying a bunch at the right price to find a true winner (just warn me if most of them are not up to par, I don't mind if I know first). All I know is when I find a kick ass pheno I want to buy another pack and find a better one.

Disagree with Beaver on Reserva Privada's OG Kush #18.........when grown correctly, it's a smelly beast that yields well and is quite potent. I've grown it 3 times now and people love it, as do I.
