From a business point of view I would not argue those choices, though if I were to really think about it a while I could likely offer another option or two that would be equally good and might have the benefit of more of a sellable sounding name, but just the thought process that goes with the business part of what some do here is something I hate to see happen because it robs buyers of the opportunity to purchase and enjoy the very best.
Yield and time, and at times even color and odor and taste, play such a major factor in what many do when they are in the business and I find that to be a shame.
I have never grown for commercial monetary gain and never will but if I were to do that I myself would prefer to offer the very best of the very best and to earn my income through offering a higher quality product that may sell less because it would be somewhat more expensive but would still sell because it out-shined the competitions product.
What has happened is the marketplace has over the years been almost totally taken over by indica or highly indica strains because of their yield and flowering time and that means buyers do not have the opportunity to enjoy something that at least comes close to giving a real high and instead get somewhat of a high and a major stone.
Of course I admit that I am totally biased in that I am a true sativa lover and if I do purchase a cross I look for something that is predominantly sativa.
There is just nothing that beats a real true clear soaring motivational cerebral head high.
Smoking something and then being almost incapacitated with your tail-end glued to a couch and having the munchies so bad that you eat an entire steer and then to follow you eat a half dozen burrito supremes and wash it all down with four Big Gulps is not at all my idea of what herb is supposed to do for you.
I often times find myself feeling sorry for people who grew up after the era of real true landrace sativas flooding the market.
I look back at stains like Colombian Gold and Acapulco Gold and Panama Red and Malawi Gold and Dalat and consider myself to have been so very lucky to have had the chance to experience them and feel very sorry for all those today who almost only have a chance to pick from indica column A or indica column B.
But when someone makes a business decision that something that takes 14 weeks or 16 weeks or more to flower and that does not give as high of a yield is not the way to go I can in a way understand it but I cannot agree with it always being the best option.
Though someone does have to consider their market and if they are sure that they will not be able to sell their product if it is higher priced, to make up the difference in profits they would earn through volume sales of lower priced product, that makes their decision for them.
I just hate to see someone make a business decision that results in them producing a Yugo instead of a Mercedes Benz. But that is just me.
