My take? Potency is hardwired into the strain. For instance, if your strain has 15% THC, no amount of good growing, harvesting or curing will increase the bud to above 15%. But you can sure mess it up and have it come out less potent.

So the trick is to have your grow specs maximize the potential of the strain you have.

Bagseed is a great way to get your grow dialed in before spending hundreds of dollars on "good" or "designer" strains, but it is a crapshoot. If the bud was pollinated by a male of the same strain or another quality strain, no problem. If it was pollinated because it was grown outside and some hemp pollinated it though, you will be disappointed.
