I see from time to time people complaining about poor varieties - something like "I grew a whole pack of Nevil's Haze and it was all hay".
In that particular example, having grown it myself, I know they're either:
1). just trolling and have never grown it in the first place
2). have poor growing skills and perhaps not set up right for long flowering varieties
3). haven't cured it properly before passing judgement
It's the third one that makes me concerned that people who have grown it quite well might cull clones or give the weed away before realizing it's full potential. Some plants seem to cure much quicker than others and in my experience it seems to correlate somewhat to length of flowering time (longer to flower, longer to cure and vice versa). I've had varieties that have taken 2 months to show reasonable improvement from curing and 3 months or more before reaching their potential.
If you're trying a new plant, do yourself a favour (and the plant) and give it a lengthy cure before making any decisions about it...you may be pleasantly surprised sometimes.
