How do you get your seeds down there? Do you have in-country seed distributors yet?

I don't think I framed my question in the right way, for whatever effect and growth you are looking for there are 1000 strains out there claiming to be amazing at that and they all have crazy names, I always look at ones that claim to be potent and large yeilding but Idk how much of the shit I can trust also. It's a crasy landscape full of too many choices to choose from to me lol

Like I said start with desired effect and then move on from there it will be a process of elimination and hopefully you have it narrowed down toward the end hope this helps

Still didn't get to the core of what I meant but this is an old post other people had a lot of good input more toward the answers I was looking for ie. Follow breeders on social media to try to get a good look at their product and stuff of that sort.

Research!
Check out Confident Cannabis! Their website is insanely intuitive and shows you the chemical makeup and availability of the strains. The more data we harness, the better for all of us. Good luck!

Cool, so check out the site I mentioned and that's how you research strains and their popularity and chemical makeup.....

You definitely can if you got the answers you were looking for, but you just posted the below so I figured you didn't, and the site that I linked will help you answer all of that. This site uses actual testing data to show the *actual* thc, cbd, and terpene content to each strain from each grower (as in, they can't just claim it's the same percentage as the same strain from a grower elsewhere), how available they are (meaning how popular), and connects you to wholesalers who sell that exact thing that you decide on. That is all of the information you're looking for, right? Is there something I'm missing about your request? The whole point to Confident Cannabis' business model is to provide full transparency and education regarding the chemical makeup of strains and what they *actually* do to you beyond just the percentage of thc. 'Potent' is subjective, that's the whole point. CC has good information if that's what you're actually looking for.
Reading your responses it kinda seems like you just want to complain about it. If that's the case, good luck man! Either way, I hope you find what you're looking for!

I decide by what I've smoked myself, if I'm familiar with the strain .....or one of the parents OF the strain.

I'm in the same boat but I feel like if I cross first the pheno will be that much more rare . I mean if you think about it what makes you think you're going to get a pheno that I don't? If u truly want a plant that everyone wants u should make it yourself
I decide by a few things experience for one do i like its parents and whats the effect like? If i aint tryed them then i go by recommendations from friends who know there shit occasionally il just say fuck it and pick one at random but again i will usually do a bit of research on it first if possible it always pays to know what your in for before you grow it like feeding and environment preferences structure and height and is it very stable if its new probably not thats my thinking on choosing strains anyway

I agree, making your own little cross that nobody's ever tried is definitely a way to get something different, but you've got to select the right parents yourself and you may have to run a lot of seeds to find a true queen. I do fiddle around with making my own crosses with the goal of creating something different. But I also try to buy seeds from smaller breeders who use rarer plants. As you said, I don't have a better chance than you do if you bought the same seeds, but if the breeder only makes say 500 packs for the entire world, there may not be anybody within 100 miles of me even trying that strain, yet alone pheno hunting and cloning a true winner. I don't have any illusions of finding a world renowned clone, but if everybody in my area is growing cookies and cakes and custards, a great Kashmiri Hashplant or a Malawi/Michoacan or a Panama/Pakistani or anything unusual is gonna give people a changeup even if I'm not the only person growing that worldwide. Even something common like a cookie cross could be unique if it's crossed with a unique partner that it's never bred with. That's kind of my philosophy, whether I'm on the right track or not.
