Only catch, you must curate your top 5 list to have “something for everybody”
What 5 strains would you consider your top 5 of all time. Not your personal favorites. I need a ranking for humanity.
Don’t dumb down your list. Think of your 5 favorite people, real or imaginary, living or dead. What 5 strains would you grow for them to enjoy?
A pick 5 sampler.
Be sure to say why you included the strain in the top 5.
1)NLHZ-up, heady, strong pheno. It’s the best smoke there is in my opinion.
2)Sour Grapes-looks good, tastes amazing, gets you baked, perfect for parties.
3)Bubba-super tasty and everyone needs the Bubba high at nighttime or other times.
4)Hollywood Pure Kush-amazing cut, great look, smell, amazing high everyone can handle, perfect for parties.
5)Old indica Blueberry-was super relaxing fun high, the taste was super memorable.

White widow
Hibernate

Panama/malawi
Because they are all awesome in different ways
Hawaiian Purple Kush? If it is, it’s a clone only strain and aka: Rainbow Kush
Hollywood Pure Kush. My bad. Changed it.
Was a cut I got in ‘08 from a guy I’d walk home with from The Comedy Store a lot of nights. Miller Drive. He called it HPK (Hollywood Pure Kush) and was getting good money for it. I loved it and finally got the cut from him.

I thought about some people, and these are the strains I would grow. The reason, well they are very potent and have always helped me, as well as it’s some straight kill.
KRS-One, MF DOOM, Vaughn Benjamin, Black Thought and Plug 1.
Oops
#1 My blueberry indica I got from Amsterdam around 2001. There were sativa phenos that were awesome but paranoia inducing. The indica was narcotic and relaxing.
#2 my skunkxpuck bc2 I grew last year. Nasty funky dank ass weed. Very relaxing but still functional. Cricket and cicada have some fire.
#3 cgprXa5nl5hz f2 from akbeanbrains. Got it as a freebie. The mango pepper nl5hz leaner was my favorite. Clawed leaves near finish like the old sinsi seeds pic. Gets you very high with no paranoia and super functional.
#4 outdoor oklahoma super skunk I got back around 91 or 92. Tripple bag it and it still stank up the house. Relaxing high with the worst case of munchies you’ve ever had.
#5 mexican bud I got around 92. Super ammoniated pine funky smell. Super laughy and made your body tingle like you were a huge frosty carbonated soft drink.
White Widow: chronic pain, Stress and Anxiety Reduction, euphoric and uplifting effects can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of relaxation and calm.
White Rhino: Ultimate pain relief and sleep sleep sleep.
Sour Diesel: invigorating cerebral high that open up doors of creativity.
Gorilla Glue #4: euphoria and relaxation, leaving you feeling “glued” to the couch.
Bruce Banner : head high, euphoric, combined with strong creativity and a whole-body mood boost. Energy boost, good daytime strain. Bruce Banner is a highly effective painkiller, but it’s also good for anxiety, depression, nausea, and sleeplessness.
I like white rhino too. Didn’t make the list but should be on mine too
Gorilla glue #4
Romulin
Kush mints
Peanut Butter Breath. The effect is heavy, the taste is unique and incredible, it makes hearty crosses.
Rainbow Belts. This is strain lives up to its hype. Awesome “z-terp” profile and BEAUTIFUL heavy flowers.
Bob Bitchen Chernobyl (Slymer cut). Cucumber lime tennis balls 
. Low yield but the juice is worth the squeeze 100%
FAB MC (Fuji Apple Cookie x Blueberry Muffin) chucked by a buddy of mine. The end result was a very tasty blueberry catpiss, HEAVY effect, great bag appeal and yield.
Dosidos. This strain is so awesome, everything it’s crossed with is also awesome. The ultimate “Cookies” type of herb IMO. Doughy, frosty, super sticky & super stony.
Ooops i totally forgot, this is more like “Honorable Mention” but could easily be first if I could get seeds to grow again:
Archive Seeds Flavour Pack (the old original drop, with the “U” in Flavor). HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I had access to a pack once, popped one seed & that plant came out IN.FUCKING.CREDIBLE.
. It was straight up Grandma’s potpourri terps, but with the most perfect tasting Kush exhale my god, if I could get this again I’d be stoked
I imagine someone on here has a pack in the vault. Throw it up in one of the seed wanted threads. Sounds killer. Hope you can find yourself a pack and best of luck!!
Right now to cover everyone with 5 in my area,
1.BPB’s Gas pheno of Lemon Cherry Gelato. Has that fruitiness with a slight gas backend. Killer flower and great taste.
2. Animal Mints JBezzy’s cut. It’s another killer flower but very good anxiety relief.
3. Suge’s Pure Kush for pain relief and knock out power.
4. Sherbanger #22 it’s a muti use plant that can be washed or used for flower.
5. GMO - it’s a production plant that once again goes both ways.
I like the concept, it’s hard to dial. I will think about 5 friends and create a stereotype for each to see where it’s going ^^
Someone that swear mostly by reliability and safety. He don’t only like to have a predictable output no matter what or the style of grow but also to be reliable with others. Kind of one-shot-love grower too. One time he love a weed, it’s more than loyalty it’s devotion lmao
Skunk#1 hardly inbred (for him it was maximum musk possible), eventually tinted every 3 or 4 generations by a recessive spice but it have to be rockstable. He was fond of a SK#1 x WW i made for him, but disliked that it was a fragile balance to maintain inbred.
The most capricious woman I’ve ever met with weed. Able to wipe a round mid-flo just because she is disappointed on a marketed description, or to kill every elite clone hardly hunted that she dislike like a breeze : “disapointed, check. Next”. The total reverse that #1, whatever it take … if the weed is tailored, she don’t give a damn fck of the price to pay in cares.
Kalimist hybrids : But never really stoney or narco, none hint or it was culled. We tried with a friend to crack her code (^^) with different weeds chunked, she finally found her way in crossing regularly the kalimist with pure landraces on regular basis. Same way with cuts we gave her and that she killed without pity, each line “make its time”. When she started to hunt a new landrace, we knew she killed everything in the crop but her kalimist cut lol
An ex-friend prone to explore everything, but smoking daily only the same cut over years. Special kind ^^ For him, if you’re not a “brainwashed larva” on the couch it’s not potent. Anything racy or THCv rich was turning him badly, just like some persons with booze that become suddenly agressive and killing good vibes. For him to smoke was an entire universe, he wanted to feel it night and day. And not lightly.
The Chem#4 was just perfect for him, he just became a douchebag the day he lost his motherplant. Not a devotion or a fanboy, just he cared to have his #4 oxygen. I learned a lot about this cut with him, but it was not passion, just cold efficiency for what he needed badly. He hated the SD that i loved, we had great epic friendly debates-battles ^^
It’s someone that is hating to grow. But that know the name of each “budtender” of Amsterdam and Rotterdam ^^ Special profile lol Very elitist in his approach but not the bad way, it’s a personal quest to find a grail that he knew that he will never find. Never satisfied, a single terp variation that finally he find not enough elegant and he pass from pure love to pure hate within a couple of days. Also he hated weeds that don’t land in a transparent way or messy chemotypes. It was not his favorite but my love for the Jack Herer come from him. He just “took me in charge” young when i knew only landraces smokes and make me the Grand Tour of the best JH buds he knew. Quite a ride. For him all weeds should have the potential to be a daily or it’s not real weeds ^^
His stash was complicated in general but mostly turning around the Northern Light #5 x Haze and Blueberry for the most frequent occurrences. He just hated the skunks in all their forms, hybrids or not. It was almost a religious hate lol The JH was the only “skunk shit” that he tolerated, but that he never smoked lol
This one don’t have any sense for me because the use of canna for her was mystical. She was a painter (very good one) that made reproductions on demand of famous masterpieces. Very wealthy but she grown her way in a basic greenhouse and loved giant plants started very early in season. Lean style, not with an altar for each plant but almost ^^
Africaans hybrids (everything but the northern hashplants) were her dope, I knew her when i was smoking and growing only this (but in pure lines only). Beside our big personal differences we enjoyed a lot the same plants and we were both mesmerized in her greenhouse. Just by different vibes. She disliked lines not hybridized, true heterosis junkie lol Later for one of her anniversary, i make her an ECSD x Malawi, an ECSD x Ghanaian and an Zamal x Ghanian. She loved the three and i still have the “thank you” painting in my living room after this ^^
