CFO I don't think that knowing the genetics of a strain is that important it is more important how it effects you and I mean you because what might be good for me might not be good to you. There are 2 main actors sativa and india I my self like the sativas.Then there are the hybrids that lean toward indica or sativa side. I think your Idea of just buying a bit is good but around here there are still shortages on our meds. If you do that then you better be quick on your trying it because it might be a while till it comes around again if it dose.But you do get an idea if you like indica or sativas or hybrids all have there place.
