True origins of strains thread.

Have another look, its the same strain, it even says on Barneys description, except barneys says pure sativa, Reeferman says 90/10 sat/indica

 

Thanks - It seems we are working with imperfect information based on those sat/ind ratio differences!

 

Dr Grinspoon is really wierd looking with airy little buds but a great sativa buzz but I've never seen or tasted senor garcia - does it have the same strange runs of calyces?

 

Landrace sativas can be problematic in my limited experience because some tend to routinely turn hermaphrodite late in flower (e.g. genuine thai landraces) and they seem to have far more genetic variability and so individual seeds throw a very wide variety of phenotypes when compared to modern hybrids that have been stabilised by back crossing so every seed produces pretty much the same phenotype - there's limited genetic variability compared to the landraces. I guess that's why most growers prefer predictable stable hybrids?

 

I like pure sativas so I just have to suck it up - currently flowering clones from two swazi gold seeds in identical hempy pots with the same light and automated watering - one is much bushier and compact than the other - can't wait to see which has the better mature bud.

We should set up a sativa club

 

I appreciate the so called stoney indica effect at the right time, but the head high and deep thought is what cannabis is to me so sativa all the way.

 

Look forward to your results and I have been checking out the progress on reddit.

IDK I have several landrace Sativa strains from Various locations and local Haze Sativa IBL's dating back to the 60's and 70's. Also been using Dutch, American, UK and Canadian hybrid genetics. These have been crossed into some of the sativa IBL's and landraces. Pitty there wasn't a seed swap meet. ;-) I keep things pure but hybridizing is a lot of fun as well. That's how you tailor the high. :-) Happy growing.

I think now that hemp as food has been legalised in Australia the doors may open to seed collections here.

 

Not sure if hemp food specifies non-viability of seed as that would be horrendously difficult and unnecessary. Afterall you can grow Tasmania's finest poppies by buying them at the supermarket.

 

Pretty certain that hemp as food will mean seeds are legal, it should.

Are cannabis seeds illegal?

Are cannabis seeds illegal? 

onlee when u add wa+er

That's my opinion as well Bob, but what the fluck would I know

 

We will have to wait for someone that knows more then us, I've got no eyedea who tho

From a legal perspective, Hemp seeds cannot be viable when sold as food.

 

Regarding licenced medical cannabis growers, the seeds must be from a legal source ie, from companies like Bedrocan. Seeds from legal seedbanks that we all know and love are not considered legal under the current ODC rules as they apparently originate from an illegal source. That is my take on it anyway.

[Marrawahrrrna]

It's a pretty reasonable take I would say.

Not knows.

 

I know nothing. Or couldn't you tell?
