I used several top ten lists for selecting last and this year's grows.
One top ten list for weed sold in California is: Blue Dream, GSC, Sour Diesel, *OG Kush, Green Crack, Jack Herer, Skywalker OG, Bubba Kush, Fire OG, SFV OG. *To me, OG Kush, Bubba Kush, Fire OG and SFV OG are all just different cuts or S1/F1 and re-crossed seedlings of OG kush. Many recommend the Ghost or Tahoe cut of OG Kush as the best in that realm, though I head that pre '98 Bubba Kush is also a good one.
Another top ten list: Bruce Banner, OG Kush, THC Bomb, Auto Berry, AK-47, GDP, Ultra Lemon Haze, Blue Dream, White Widow, Pineapple Kush.
A more recent top ten outdoor grow list: OG Kush, Jock Horror, Purple Kush, Blueberry, Durban Poison, Wonder Woman, Neville's Haze, Jack Herer, Zensation, Khalifa Kush.
Another 2017 list is: Blueberry Widow, GSC, White Cookies, Neville's Haze, Purple Kush, Durban Poison, Jock Horror, Mazar, Wonder Woman, White Widow.
You can start to see that some lists have the same strains, and as such they tend to be the real winners in my book. Though growing is different than smoking, and they grow differently in different regions. And personal tastes and medical needs vary. You can also with the latest trends, or old school. I tend to go old school.
