A couple of my favorites from seed are Juanita la Lagrimosa by Reggae seeds and Jilly Bean by TGA.

My recent (past couple of years), currently available favorite strain is Mandala’s Satori.
Very easy to grow sativa leaning hybrid.
Ripens quickly. Provides intense, uplifting, sativa high, tastes great. The flavor is reminiscent of Paradise Seed’s Belladonna, but the buzz is more intense, and lasts longer, providing clarity and focus…any pursuit becomes fascinating and absorbing.

Thanks for your exceedingly kind words!
Those pics are of Satori flowers approximately two to three weeks before harvest.
I know you enjoy C-99, so I have a strong hunch that you would adore Satori flowers.
I have grown a few versions of C-99 (although not FDM’s rendition of C-99)
I prefer Satori over C-99 because I find the high to be more intense and longer lasting.
The taste is more sweet/spicy than C-99’s sweet/citrus/tropical flavors.
Although, I also wish that we were neighbors so you could try some Satori tonight…
Satori is readily available at Attitude for a mere $46 for ten regular seeds.

Very nice indeed! I have a Mandala Far Out in veg, have not got around to growing anything else by them yet but got a few of their packets in the fridge. Need to order some Satori before it runs out again though, missed out last year because of that. I do need to grow that one

Mandala’s Far Out is excellent indeed.
I have grown it out a few times.
It is a Haze cross and therefore a little trickier to grow. It is prone to extended stretching, and takes about one month longer than the Satori to finish properly. The finished flowers provide the classic, peppery, tangy, metallic, Haze taste and high.
IMO, the Mandala Far Out does better outdoors, whereas Satori thrives in/out and is less temperamental indoors, with far less stretch.

This turned out to be a great thread. Thanks @bozrdang
Read it a couple times and I bet I come back again.

Cheers @Calyxander, think i’ll switch it to 12/12 a bit sooner than usual then to account for the stretch.I like a nice bit of haze so looking forward to sampling it. I had hoped to be growing Satori by now, just missed out last year though. I wish i could grow outside but it rains here all through summer now and has done since some time back in the 1980’s
I also have Mandala 1, Ganesh & 8 Miles High (reg) and Fruitylicious, Far Out & Hubble Bubble (fem) I intend to give Mandala Seeds a good try

Anyone else? Lots of strains available for purchase.
Any strain from barney’s farm.
Really? I have Tangerine Dream coming. Have you tried it?
Never had a predominantly sativa as far as I know.
If you see Greenpoint seeds copper chem listed at less than 100.00 do yourself a favor and jump on it.
There are literally no negative reviews on that pack. The ones I’ve grown are heavy producers and very potent.
Also if you happen to see karma og. In stock on Herbie’s grab it too Classic lemmon coffee kush terps and a very deep mellow stone.

fav to smoke that’s currently available is Shanti’s NL#5/Haze and his Afgahn haze. u can get those under the label Mr Nice Seeds, and through dealers like Attitude, Choice Seeds and Discreet Seeds…
fav to do runs with, that are still available in seed form, Seriuous Seeds bubblegum and Ak-47, Sagarmartha’s Slyder and Bubbleberry, Dutch passion Cali orange, Paradise Sensi Star and Sensi MLI (SSB went to shit, they are not the same… only a few like MLI are the same)… Subcool’s (TGA) JIllyBean and Vortex, if u can still find them… and Next Generation’s Avalon… All those above can be found at the major retailers and brokers, such as Attitude, Choice and Discreet…

I want satori and jillybean but i have various other packs to get through first 
Barneys get bashed a lot online these days and while i have seen some of the issues first hand, i am right now pretty stoked on their LSD. If you want a potent, very low smelling plant with a spacey light buzz it’s a contender. Not much to shout about flavour wise, mildly sweet i suppose but nothing bad either.
I also have some pineapple chunk beans in the fridge for later this year 
Can i also nominate dutch passions orange hill special. love to smoke it but i’m like a thunderbirds puppet, cant get anything done 
It’s not the easiest plant out there to grow but that orange flavour is so nice i’m tempted to eat the buds
