Yeah sure, they're mostly sativa [ and sometimes ruderalis ], making them less favorable to grow indoors without the proper light and space, but give it some LST, TLC, and ingenuity -- you'll have a plant in the end that'll probably score you a QP.
Most shwag is handled roughly to begin with, and it probably goes through about a dozen and a half different people before getting to you. Shoddy curing methods could also attribute to the fucked up potency in some shwags. Another thing is seeds -- seeds rape the energy the plant needs to produce peak yield, and could also interfere with the potency of the bud which only serves to exacerbate matters further.
Anyway, the point is; don't always judge a book by it's cover. Just because the bud it came out of was horrible does not necessarily denote shitty genetics, especially when speaking about the broad range of random phenotype expressions exhibited by most of our shwags.
Besides, it's always fun watching the different phenotype expressions pop up.
Like a box of chocolates...
Never know what you're 'gonna' get.. LoL
