Possible genomes - Marijuana Strains and Breeding - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

It's been almost 20 years since I read "Marijuana Botany" by Cervantes. Probably the book which got most of us old timers inspired to breed plants. How about a general list of possible genomes for the beginners?

Some off the top of my head which can be selected:

Sativa leaf style vs. Indica leaf style

Sativa high vs. Indica stone

Roots grow out vs. roots grow down

Purple/lavendar coloration vs. all green

White hairs vs. red or pink hairs

Two internodal branches or one internodal branch

Tall branchy Sativa or short squat Indica

Ruderalis early flower (under 24 hour light)

Skunk aroma

Bug resistance

Mold resistance

And of course the endless possibilities for taste, aroma, ratios of thc/cbd/cbn which determine the character of the buzz and which change as flowers ripen.

This is just a start to the list of some of the well known traits.

Smell

Taste

Potency

Yeild

It's not a comprehensive list folks, hoping some people will add.

There really doesn't seem to be much of an either/or situation with taste. There are many different ones, unlike most of the traits I listed.

Of course, we all pick the most potent plants we can.
