Hitch honestly man i have alot of "elite" breeder strains. From compound ,seed junky, relentless dying breed lit farms etc. Yes they are all good but some of the best plants in the past 8 yrs of growing 10s of thousands of plants have come from amos otis (black mamba) frimpong (punch mittens) and many other reasonably priced high quality breeders. So if you want to splurge do so but realize the pics they show are the best of the best plant of probably 100s of test plants depending on breeder. Some breeders like humboldt do numbers in the 1000s of test plants per new strain. Im running amos's black lime preserves for the first time and 1 plant is amazing only after 23days in flower. I think you can always find a gem from no matter the cost of the gear. Anyway just a thought
