im with lip on this one, only those who grow it themselves really seem to know. most of the dealers around my area, don't know and don't care about strains.... i brought it up one time and this group of old heads gave me this lecture about how strains don't even exist....so yeah, unless im getting it from someone who knows what they're talking about and grew it themselves, i dont even bother....just give it the 'ol smell test.
