I agree wholeheartedly, for a grower who plans to start from seed and proceed to propagating from clones.

I think that the true value in the cheap Nirvana strains lies in their frequent variability... the experience I had with a couple of the strains I got from them... of 10 beans, ~7-8 were male or useless, one was fine, and one was exceptional, worthy of being kept as a mother.

This was true of more than one strain I have worked with from them!
