Choosing Seeds need a little advice

[disoBAYish]

So my main question is, THC levels. How much does this matter? Obviously you have the champions like the White Widow which is typically in the low 20% of THC levels but other plants like El Nino only have around 12% THC. Are you always gonna get the best high from higher thc level yielding plants?

I look past the THC levels and simply reproduce cannabis that I enjoy consuming. Find a strain that tastes good to you, makes you feel great, and puts out the 'time vs yield' ratios you are looking for.

My advice would be to grow some clones from a proven champion mother. This way you get good genetics and all females without the hassle of germinating seeds ext.
