best of both worlds...anyone can have a favorite. I just burnt an ak-47 cross called fantasma, and I got a head rush...

It depends on what you are looking for, there are so many breeders of good genetics.

In answer to your question. I have had a few favorites over time.
NYCD=KIks Azz Sativ

Fantasma=AK-47x Good body and head

Skunks...Well I ran across a California Orange Bud and Skunk#1 x burmese f'in incredible last year and that was smooth sweet and trippy.

Point is: You get good genetics from a trusted source and grow simply and safely until you learn to grow a healthy crop, and keep trying...each plant you grow is going to show different characteristics, and some of that characteristic is attributable to how the plant was grown. i.e...what type system?...soil or hydro?...what type of lights, nutrients, environment, etc.

Well that's my take. Read the characteristics of strains/crosses offered by a seedbank and that will lead you to the the type of middle of the road effect that you desire...I never knew it until I experienced, truly, the effects and differences between "true" Indica and Sativa strains. I Like Sativa's. I like the mind blowing, better put it down effect of a dominant sativ phenol. funny thing, when 1st experimenting with different strains/crosses I always had the misconception that "medininal" effect would be a better "high"...Not necessarily true...Everyone is different and have varied opinions on the topic; Perhaps others will chime in on this thread. peace Sorry for rambling.
