All I can say is I wish them the very best I hear what your saying rick about the tainted genetics but there HAS to be a pure line out there somewhere,, Most of us rely on pure old seeds that have a low germination rate and leaves the gene pool blank in areas as we were not there in the making of these seeds but there is hope with a line that is still going in the outback,, I hear of very racey weeds that are too mind bending to blaze a fat 1.. Or you all can't control you body parts I only ever come across this 1 time I think.. Go on CBD CREW!!!

Buffoonman

I'm off to Japan this winter is there any landrace weed that originates from there.

Yes there is Buffoonman, on Hokkaido there is wild hemp, but it's hemp, no good for smoking. One type is called Dosanko and has been maintained by Shinto priests on tiny patches of land within the grounds of temples, they are allowed to grow small amounts to make the traditional paper and rope for Shinto temples. The whole of Japan used to have wild hemp but it's been largely eradicated, you may still find some but what use it would be is beyond me, it's hemp not drug cannabis, same species but totally different, like a Chihuahua and an Alaskan Timber Wolf are the same species but have very little in common.

Be very very careful in Japan, the laws are extremely harsh against cannabis.

ive got some interesting ideas for some seeds from Japan, China, etc,,,are hemp seeds ilegal in Japan?

if there is no problem with legality id say post a big bag Boof,,tell them its for fishing :)

hay el,,,,in your heart do you honestly think thats enough seeds to stop looking for more?... what sorta portion of a "Full Library" would them 2 bags represent?

No, hemp seeds are not illegal there, they are widely used as a foodstuff.

I don't see any point in collecting hemp seeds, you can buy Chinese hemp seeds in the UK, I got a kilo of em sat here, got em from a healthfood store in Manchester Chinatown, cost 2.99 I think, and they are very viable, I threw a handful in the back garden just to see if they would grow and they did, they grew with immense vigour but were incredibly stretchy, looked like a fibre variety, lots of stem, little foliage. I pulled em and threw em on the compost heap when they hit 2 foot, I was only interested in seeing if they were viable or not.

Again, hemp is of zero use in any drug cannabis breeding scheme, any trait you can find in hemp that may be useful can also be found in drug cannabis.

Maybe rick just wants to find that great tasting but zero effect plant he dreams of. lol

The pic is from Prince of Persia and the seeds are collected at the border of Persia & Afghanistan, so it would be easy to find a good CBD pheno.

China is another option.

actualy FunkyM,,,a coss between Hemp and Cannabis is very interesting ,,,not to be scoffed at imo :)

yeh,,i agree el,,,that would pe a perfect batch to search-through to find a good CBD pheno,,,but is that the point at witch you would stop building a mutch larger Genetics Library??,,,,at what point do we stop wanting "more and more" varieation?

I can think of many reasons why crossing hemp to drug cannabis is a very bad idea.

When it was done in the past it took 9 generations of further linebreeding to produce even moderately potent plants (Lowryder) and even after all that work, the plants were so low in potency many who grew them thought it was a bad joke.

So yeah, I'll scoff, it's a stupid idea.

i think el did a Hemp cross that looks very interesting,,,not to be scoffed at imo

lowrider was an amazing achivement imho,,,its just a shame that "everyone" can access them and any shmok can taint a genepool

lowrider was no joke,,nither was MightyMite,,imho

Lowryder is a heavenly mold sensitive BS strain with low yields imo.

I agree, small yields, low potency, total shit. The original LR release wasn't even 100% AF, despite what they claimed, I grew it when it first came out and two females out of my pack didn't AF, those gave about an ounce each of nice chunky fruity buds but it just didn't get you high, only a very occasional smoker would have got a buzz from it.

Rick would probably have liked it, he once said to a friend of mine that he smoked just for the taste and he dreamed of breeding a plant that tasted amazing but had no effect! We had a good laugh about that one. Everyone else smokes weed for the effect but rick smokes it for the taste! Might as well smoke flavoured tobacco. Taste without effect is absolutely pointless, that's probably why rick is interested in hemp, it's the route to getting the cannabis taste without the cannabis effect. Wonder if he drinks alcohol free lager too? lol
