I feel like growers usually fall into two camps.
Some people find a strain they really like and just keep running it again and again. Same genetics, same behavior, same kind of smoke at the end. And honestly, I totally get the appeal. There is something nice about knowing what to expect, how the plant stretches, how she feeds, how loud she gets, and what kind of result you are probably going to end up with. After a few runs, you basically start becoming a specialist in that strain. You know her little moods, what she likes, what she hates, when she is just being dramatic, and when something actually needs fixing. There is probably a real advantage in that. Less guessing, fewer surprises, and a much better chance of getting a clean, solid result every time.

But I am more on the other side. I really like experimenting with new strains every cycle. For me, that is a huge part of the fun. Different smells, different structures, random little surprises, plants that make you think okay, I was not expecting that. Sometimes it works out great, sometimes the plant humbles you a bit, but it keeps the whole thing interesting. That being said, I still always keep one familiar strain in the tent. For me that is Mimosa Shot. No matter what new stuff I am trying, I like having at least one plant where I already trust the genetics and kind of know what the result should be. It makes the rest of the run feel less random, like there is one reliable anchor while the new girls are doing their thing. So I guess I am half let's see what happens and half please give me my comfort strain too.

How do you guys grow? Do you stick with your favorites once you find something that works, or do you always want to try something new? And if you have that one strain you keep coming back to, what is it?

Not talking about the usual "win a 10-pack of seeds" type stuff. I mean the bigger promos some brands run from time to time. Like when ILGM was giving away a camper van, or Herbies had that full growbox setup with all the gear, or Seedsman doing similar high-ticket giveaways.

I see these promos pop up pretty often on IG or Discord and they always look kinda tempting, but I never end up entering. Partly because yeah, odds are probably trash, but also because I lowkey wonder if anyone actually wins these things 😅

Like are there legit winners out there? Has anyone here (or someone you know) actually received one of those bigger prizes? Or is it more of a marketing thing where the "winner" is just part of the campaign?

Would be cool to hear from a real person who actually scored something big, just to know it's not all smoke and mirrors. 😁
