Questions How do you choose seeds?

Thanks for the replies everyone! It is interesting to find out how other growers go about this and what the thought process is behind it.

So many beans, so little time

@monkeydo what are your go to for pain

@greentomato @misher21, for daytime pain relief I like a middle of the road hybrid like Jack Herer or Bruce Banner. Vaping gives some relief but the bulk of the relief is from edibles. For me the relief from the edibles is far better if I can wait for the 2 hour onset and a single morning dose puts me right all day. For night time I try to go straight indica if possible like a very mature Northern Lights and I prefer to vape or smoke that in a pipe. 

@greentomato for me, it's kind of random like a lot of the people here have said. I'm a sucker for the silly descriptions of the strains and tend to (over) purchase on impulse. I am US-based and have gotten the best results from North Atlantic Seed Co, ILGM, Seedsman, and Seed Supreme. I love the smell of great weed more then the taste, and to be honest, they all do the trick for sleep or just getting high.

One problem I don't know how to solve is translating the descriptions of the smells to what it really is. For example, I grew some Aurora Indica last year and I loved the smell so much! But I'll be damned if I can tell you whether it was "earthy" or "sweet" or "diesel" or whatever. I know what I smelled, but I don't have a set of examples to know how the actual smell maps to the written descriptions. This means I guess more and more, but it could be worse!

I find similar, in that the edibles really help me to get back to some form of "almost normal". Usually two hours or so after having an edible, I find myself doing physical things such as re-organising the spice cupboard, sorting out and using my tools, re-organising the freezer and making a list of what's in it, or just getting on with my day job.

Whereas, without the edibles, it's hard to push my body to just get on and do "normal" day-to-day things; my muscles feel exhausted as if I've not long been carrying pallets of bricks upstairs, and the pain in my arms, back neck, shoulders, burning hands, head aches etc. make it hard to function without the THC/CBD and entourage.

So I have some edibles during the day, and then vape in the evening.
