I have been getting pretty damned spoiled on the good buds thanks to my caregiver. Been smoking the OG Kush, Bubbha Kush etc. lately and the other day I had an opportunity to get a clone of the OG Kush to give to my caregiver. But they wanted $1000.00 US, and that is not a type-o. So my topic of discussion are these "elite" strains. Let's get to know em a little better, shall we? I will fire out a list here in a second, and tell you what I know about their genetic backgrounds. Please add any info you might have and any strains that you feel qualify. And to clarify what I consider elite strains would be plants usually found in clone only form (although I know the Cali-o and Bubbha Kush are availble in an S1 seed)or just aren't around much anymore like a really good chocolate thai or something, or just simply command top dollar for a bag. The "Elite" List - 1) AE77 Cali-o - Originated in Cali in 70's. The best all around for growing IMO. Great citrus/kush flavor, stinky citrus smell. Great yielder. Cerebral up high with mild narcotic effect. Very powerful, easy to over-do it. Hits smooth and deep and really expands your lungs. The real AE77 Calio gets double serations on the leaves, a somewhat unique characteristic. I would give it an overall 9 - 9.5 out of 10. 2) OG Kush - Not related in any way to any of the indica varities orgininating from the Hindu Kush region. Originated in San Fernando Valley, Ca. This one grows like a sativa and smokes like a sativa. Long skinny branches, long internode spacing, smaller buds. Stupifying high, hits you immediately. Not a great yielder but it goes for 6K-7K a pound. Smells and smokes of lemon/pine/kush. Related to the Original Sour Diesel (see S.D. description below) by way of the same (ChemoxDawg) parent. It is unkown whether the ChemoxDawg parent was male or female. 9.0 of 10 3) Willems Wonder or Williams Wonder - Originated in Cali in the 70's. Incredible indica. High yielding. Don't know much about this one. Clone only, but I think Reservoir Seeds has a version of it in seed form. 4) Bubbha Kush - Also not related to any of the varities from the Hindu Kush region. Origin ???? More of an indica, just the opposite of the OG Kush. Good smoke all around. Good kush flavor. Not a big yielder, but better than the OG kush. Sells for around $450 - $550 an oz. around these parts. 8.5 - 9.0 of 10 5) Original Sour Diesel - I have read that this strain actually orginated in Colorado, and two slightly different versions of made it to the East Coast to become NYCD and ECSD. But the lineage is as follows (SensiNLxMassSuperChunk)x(DawgxChemo). I can't really find anything on the Dawg or MSC. It is unknown which respective hybrid was male and female. 9 of 10
Well that's a start. Will add more later.

Please do geheim. I'd really like to know how she grows. Ey mate, you ever grow/smoke the "Cheese"? I am hearing good things about that one too. Nobody has any info eh? Well, I'll add somemore strains and info later on...

Thanks for the topic Useless. Thank you for your contributions to this MJ community. I'll list my favorite for now, maybe more later as I get more time.
1) Medical Afghani - Origin: Afghanistan desert communities; currently bred in central Oregon for medical patients on OMMP. This plant loves Nitrogen, and the best part about this Indica is way it responds when it gets a higher Nitrogen ratio. Afghani has the highest trichome production per square inch of anything I've seen. The medicinal healing content within is excellent considering a flowering time of 7-8 weeks (varies for potency). Arid flowering conditions also increase trichome production, as this variety originates from the desert. Another advantage to the gooey buds is the aroma of Afghani in every stage of growth, with no exceptions made to consumption of course. The odor is quite strong but not a traditional flowering MJ stench. It is a fresh, light, citrus smell similar to diluted organic orange cleansers. It stays shorter than average and has a tendency to turn purple in late flowering with cold temperatures. I give this indoor/outdoor Afghani a 9.5 out of 10.

i've smoked a strain called trinity that came out of northern california, the buds were dark and airy. I dont remember much else except that i paid $50 for an 8th, and it was tasty herb. Maybe thats a testament to its quality, i dont remember much about it. :)
another elite clone up in BC is texada timewarp.
geheim
50 an 1/8 wtf
The Dawg
I wonder if that trinity originally came from Trinidad.We use to get some really good dark buds from there every year back in the early 80s. Is Cali orange really an elite strain?I have had it many a time and grew it for a a while but never thought it was the bomb.Its one of the best tasteing smothest I have smoked but not the bomb when it comes to the high.But then I am in Florida and not Cali so what do I know.lol
