Just found out that the Italians are trying to get approval for their 'Ermes' hemp variety.
The strange thing is not, that this variety has been obtained from one single 'Fibranova' plant. And it's not the fact that the 'Ermes' variety is monoecious although the parent variety is dioecious.
No, 'Ermes' has the webbed leaf trait! Although webbed leaves or even the single leaf mutation is known to appear now and than in Italian varieties, I've got to find a source for that one!

The largest seed food varieties I've seen were Chinese. The Europeans might have the fiber market cornered but I think we should be looking to China for developing our own seed varieties.

Or to Slovakia (see PM)

Unfortunately, the Chinese seeds I've seen so far weren't that big...

"Figure 32. Cannabis seeds vary greatly in size. Average sized 'Novisadska' seeds (left) are typical of narrow-leaf hemp (NLH) cultivars. Chinese broad-leaf hemp (BLH) snack seeds (top right) were selected for large size making them easier to "shell" and eat. Feral seeds (bottom) such as these from Tai Shan Mountain (LB's note - shan means mountain, so Tai Mountain or Tai Shan, but never both) in Shandong province, China, are very small and dark colored."

Apologies if a bit large, and for the crookedness. From Clarke & Merlin's "Cannabis: evolution and ethnobotany", pp 200. I absolutely love the feral seeds nesting inside the "snack seed" shell.

I like the big ones.

Not only the seeds could be big, leaves too.

Keep on growing

The same recurrent photo... I still love it, mind! But who in recent years has seen such big seeds?

The Chinese hemp patch I saw grown out here last summer came from some rather large seed. The plants where a good 12-15 foot tall too.
