@Bajangreen, I think this picture of 'her making us her slaves' will be completely different after we've suspended these prohibitionist all from street lamps, ^^ lol
I want people to remember this is a plant, she was here from the beginning, she has made us her slaves, and she will continue to adapt.
theres a big difference between being two sexes and producing male pollen as a last chance survival method. otherwise self pollenation wouldnt create female only seeds- the females dont have a males genetic imput to create male ofspring. so a female is genetically female just with herm tendances.
apart from that i disagree with the op and agree with everyone else.
1 more vote for no different here. you have more new hybrids floating around which is cool, but overall it's no different really.
When you go to the liquor store ,There are so many breeders out there now and so many strains that I can't keep track; but I was thinking today, are these new strains really any different or better than what we were smoking 15 years ago?
I think they are no different than the Skunk, NL, White Widow that I was growing 15 years ago.
Because really, those strains then had THC and CBD and the new strains have THC and CBD, it's just the same thing, nothing new is being created, just the names are changing, just re-inventing the wheel. It's not like some new drug with different chemicals is being created.
People might rave about Chemdogs and such and say it's really strong because it puts you on your ass; but the first grow I did years ago was some bagseed that looked like a wild Afghani, and people were asking me if I had put anything in it, because it really knocked you on your ass.
It's maybe that all the modern breeding is bullshit and hype, just smoke and mirrors, the names and hype change but the product is still basically the same.
Maybe we just need about five strains to choose from; a pure sative and a pure indica and then a few in between; that would cover all bases.
Well said... maybe the shift towards higher tech in grow rooms could soon allow easier breeding for the finicky land race genetic traits we all love.Just for a note,
how we grow weed has changed a lot,
the herb us older fellas rave about was not grown indoors just for a start ,
the modern cannabis breeder has had his work cut out producing something with that old high we loved ,
that is able to grow in the environment we have created,
and have the bag appeal that is called for by the consumer...
Weed in general is better, or a better way to put it, better weed is available generally.
gone are the days when lambsbread is smoked by 5 elder rastaman on the top of blue mounting. now everyone can get that shit.
no it's really not, unless you personally didn't have access to it back then, I had plenty of it. I will say we have a larger variety today and more availability, but the high hasn't changed one bit.
I think it's comical to see people talk about how much better a plant is today verses 30-40 years ago, when it's been around for tens of thousands of years. Unless you're going GMO you haven't changed the genetics, just combined them.
