we think there is some debate to the point of plant size .. big plants can produce big buds . but we ask dose big bud define quality ,the answer IMHO is No ... , quality is defined by potency and effectiveness of the high ...and often is in direct relationship with resin production with respect to plant age and development ... here is and example :


two plants #1 3 ft high and #2 5ft high , both the same age and same growth rates yet ,the taller plant must grow threw a faster stretch then the smaller plant , if we are to under stand the true nature breeding then the taller plant must relate to its inner Sativa genetics , why the smaller plant dose not ...now if you control the genetic age of the plant to grow with in your grow space then it may never reach its full development in door ...


in this case the smaller plant will always win in the quality debate in door ....IMHO ....this is not to say the taller plant can not be grown in door to full development but most commercial growers know this and have cost effective development programs un like the home grower or breeder ...that often fits a space to his needs and thus finds his space defining his strains and environment and conditioning guild lines for variations...


IMHO the best breeders and growers can grow any where and can develop a collection of strains and skills to define the best results for the space he has to work in .. this puts him in a one on one with the plants he grows and this will always give him a higher quality plant development ....true I may not be able to grow 50 lbs in a 5 by 8.6 ft SCROG .. but the quality of what I do grow is a out right 100% and some tell me that should be 125 % ..


IMHO this is a good example of what happened when the strain big bud was developed, the larger buds were what everyone wanted but few wanted the loss of quality ... and even today the strain in many ways is still fighting for higher quality , then you must also look at strains like White widow , and Northern lights , and see many strains developed with good quality are in door and set the path for most out door strains , the debate comes full circle and as we develop in door Sativa we find in many cases the time is not cost effective to the normal in door grower or breeder ...IMHO ... many in door sativa can reach a fair level quality but never reach their full genetic growth rates thus stunned in development and left where it becomes up to the grower or breeder to define how true the nature of these strains become with in the controlled environments they develop ...


in fact in many In door grow the strains selection defines the out come way before the starting germination ...


in some cases in multi strain grows the breeder or grower make the choices for each strain and define how the out come of those strains will develop in to the quality and the values of those finished products before they are even cured ...IMHO I feel that many strains vanish because they don't fit the modern developmental path of the sellable product markets ...
even if those product lower the standards of the genetic pole it self ...


and one must ask him self .where dose this end . will the market change the future of cannabis only to have cannabis revert back to its most stabilized reflection in natures grow room out side and free from conditions of man made environment and dreams the all mighty strains and products of the modern markets ...?


at the end of the day . did we find the quality we wanted in the strains ... yes .. it did not come from the best lighting or the best nutrients, it came from the relationship between the grower and breeder and the plants he grows for what ever reason his needs define his goals , with the right skills and resources he can select and develop a workable strain choice for his grow space and the out come is a reflection of his skills and abilities as well as the genetic strains he selects ...


note : in respect to over all quality ... "hands on !" is the best way to reach the true top shelve quality of any strain ...!


you can say its the human contact with the plants or the lack of human nature if the grow room if automated or computerized but the out come speaks for it self .....the best cannabis is grown by those that care most about the quality of cannabis ...


and this only leaves me with one question ... is this what happened to the human race .. we became so modernized we lack the hands on development that define true quality ... sad but true ! the true quality lost in the development of a push button world ....click !
