Up intil the early 90's I just saved seeds from pot I had scored.
When I got into indoor growing, I got seeds from another grower (NL). Then I started buying clones of different strains.
In '00, I moved to the pot-friendly confines of The Emerald Triangle and got to know a lot of fellow growers quite well.
Most growers I met grow their own strains--either strains they "created" or aquired and gave their own name (i.e. Medocino Delight), so I can't choose by name.
Every winter we get together and sample each others wares. When we find something we like, we ask that person for clones.
