In this episode we explore how certain strains that once generated massive hype have faded from prominence. We dig into the factors behind their rise—such as branding, novelty, genetics—and then analyze why many of these “hot” strains lost their market momentum. Issues discussed include oversaturation, shifting consumer preferences, genetic erosion, and the challenges growers face in keeping up the hype.

Dude you’re supposed to shake a Guinness?? . Bro I like Guinness 😂😂 and those danker
I like Todd and wanna trust him but after running 3 10 packs of everything, every single phenotype was a Haze . Hundreds of plants all haze.
I think he mixed up a few seed runs.
I’m from uk and can confirm cheese and skunk are different, skunk is in the genetics of cheese
If it’s new it’s all hype . The new stuff is just off brands to the original land races
I had no idea Abt a lawsuit and didn't know gg4 was gg until like the 5th time I went to get seeds. Been growing less than a year
For only being 300w the es300 is a bad ass light. Especially for autos.
A show about VIRUSES.
For the past odd years i feel like people should collect genetics from things that they enjoy and are more medicinal to their selves, I can't hardly find anything thats remotely what im looking for in the dispos anymore, because its all pretty much just the same nowadays perfectly dense nugs doesn't smell bad but its kinda of generic to me 🤷🏼♂️ I remember in 2018 and before in Michigan, you had some care givers providing most of dispos in my area so the buds were more homegrown and unique in smells, tastes, with different effects and had more of a nostalgic appeal compared to now..its sad really, your average grower usually grows just fems or gets random cuts, over just growing regular seeds or pollen chucking your own 2 favorite flavors and effects together and to see what comes of it even if it grows like a bish, GMO and skittlez can be a bish to grow but people love the terps and effects🤷🏼♂️ I think it's crucial especially now to obtain genetics that you love before they try to take it all away from us
Theres a lot of us out here trying to bring back the old school funk back, you just gotta look and find out whos real, i love lemon fuel/gas, lenon og and lemon g are my favorites sticks to your palate and stinks up the room, also love anything funky especially cheese, garlic, onion, bo funk, ive put the idea out that people should colab on making a modern version of rks 2.0
Mowia Wowie is more common here in Michigan I’ve seen it alot lately
There was two cuts big buda cut and the exodus cut both phenos of skunk 1
Ken is Sketch….Dont trust anything hes done after with GDP if u dont believe me go listen to his right hand man Eric from DVG tell the story on the Pot Cast with heavy Dayz he tells the entire story he was Kens main guy.
The guys that have skunk it's skunk#1 and that one is the most watered down skunk of them all so to say but it grows well. The real skunks we seek is the old SUPER SKUNKS FROM THE 1ST RELEASE but that shit got everyone busted. And what was left was original skunk #1s. Even Mass Super skunk isn't that skunky compared to the old Supers.
I'm bout to order some night owl and speed run seeds. Autopotamus gets insane results in coco with autopots. That will be my next setup. One autoflower in a 2×2. Bro got 26 ounces off one plant.
I want the purple kush from 2013
Ok “ blue topaz “ found twice and not since 2015 cannabis cup in Denver . What an awesome strain!
Ken didnt make gdp. Theres no skunk flavor in cookies or gelato.
When pigeons said" your now heat score dude😂😂😂
if you want the real and fire gdp crosses and cultivars CSI Humboldt all day 🔥🔥
I’ve just lowering out all my last cuts of purple pink runts geno I’ve had over a year from seeds it was amazing to be honest for the uk but not for me I’d rather old school flavours so clearing room for for power flower and og kosher cross see what I find I need sativa badly tho and still got a lovely skunk one cross that’s old and modern at these time I’m a bud smoker
Gorilla Glue definitely isn’t lost.
Rob cheese was an f7 not an f1
Malawi gold is 30 percent thc land race
I feel like of you know how you can still get any seeds for any thing. I see old school stuff all the time. But no one wants it.
Purple kush in canada 2010. Calgary had insane shtuff in the early 2010. Lots or purple weed.
Morning Boys… Real Skunk that was grown in the 70's is an Afghani Landrace PERIOD!!
I think part of it is because the government wanted to bring it around legally medically however you want to put it and all the old-timers first thing that came to their mom when they didn't agree with it "was that shit stink" now berries, floral Candy
This year I'm learning clone so I bought myself exodus cheese aka uk cheese.
Anybody like those tangie like terps? I hated it until I grew some trop cherry. Couldn’t help not liking it. It’s like an acquired taste like beer lol
They grow KhalifaKush poorly
Headband, Chunky Diesel, Golden Goat
Well rounded bud doesn't grow in less than 12 weeks
Pigeon needs to get Luna all day on the show . Apparently she has some very very good cheese strains thats she has worked on
BC God bud,Deathstar,Purple Erkle are some of the best strains ever.I love gas not dessert.
Acapulco gold, santa marta gold, either the mazari sharrif afgani or the balkhi afgani. They are next door neighbors. Am creating a new skunk now using these strains.
I never cared for purple weed
Cheese was extremely popular in the UK around 2010 which unfortunately led to it being mass produced at very low quality levels and eventually it got a bad reputation as there was so much shit cheese about. The same thing has happened recently with dawg.
APPLE TASSIES G7 GENETICS SUPER FIRE BLUE BERRY FUNK SUPER FIRE
MOST OF THESE BREEDERS ARE SELLING MIDS
Had some blue cheese 14 years ago that actually smelt like blue cheese. Nothing now compares in strenght or flavour.
that willy wonka!
Let's grow cannafam ❤ Jess is awesome sent me some slaps too. All the way from Ontario to Missouri. So much love in this community ❤
Bring back the cheese!
Anyone else annoyed anytime pigeons chimes in? I'm not sure I've heard an original thought from him.
💚💚💚 Another great conversation! The only flavor I've been really really hunting is Cali O from the late 90s/early 00s…I loved it. I've heard Tangie is close but everything is a cross of Tangie now…and saw Todd has a Tangie/ON Haze cross that I might grab for the collection…IDK…hoping one day I'll find it again. 💚💚💚
So UK Cheese is actually just UK Skunk
