Any 100% Pure Strains on the Planet

There is plenty of pure stuff left out there. Keep an eye on seedbay.
pure can mean different things..
But some of the strains I'd consider pure are stuff like Deep Chunk, PTK, Petrolia Headstash, Dalat, any good landrace.
Check out BlueHemp, they have a few quality landraces for very little $..
I just got a bunch of pure strains in the mail the other day..
-Bushmans (herbaria), an 8 week pure sativa landrace from Africa (which doesn't make sense to me)
-Lebanese (blue hemp)
-Nepali (blue hemp)
-Pakistani (blue hemp)
And Blue Hemp also has Dark Kush.
There are pure strains out there, you just need to look for them, and realize that the sats will usualy take 100+ days to flower and alot of the pure indicas are low yeilders..
hope this helps..

That does make sense to me considering that also Durban Poison finishes in some eight weeks. The one from Dutch Passion especially is very quick. It seems there are some South African (obviously non-tropical) eight week sativa landraces.beancounter said:

how would u know if they had not crossed it with something to make it mature earlier ??Insane said:
why so called "sativas" wouldn't be able to flower in less 8 weeks, or anyway in less than 100 days. Not all of'em come from equatorial areas.
Not really true I think. when it grows to 3 meters high it can yield a lot !
Anyway, these "sativa" or "indica" appelation are totally biaised, as from a genetic point of view ALL drug strains, wether they are from Afghanistan, Thailand, Colombia, Nigeria or whatever, all of'em are indica !
Irie !

you are most definately right, as I'm learning, I have just heard so much 'any landrace sativa will take at least 15 weeks' talk online and in the past. But as I'm looking into it I see it's quite possible.
Again, you are right, some pure indicas can yeild great outdoors.. I was looking at it from and indoor perspective, including the longer veg times, compared to most hybrids in the same conditions. But yes, outside, even DeepChunk can get her yeild on, but most pure indicas won't compare to a hybrid grown in the same conditions for yeild, and some certainly would be considered poor yeilders.

Everyone else has pretty much summed it up pretty well. And although pure strains are great for the fact that it's pure and unadulterated..there's a reason why hybrids are often stabilized, and made IBLs. It gives you best of both worlds. As far as losing the pure strains over time, as long as the breeders are as crazy as they are(meant with much respect and love), they'll continue to collect pure landraces, and keep them for years and years. When you do come across a pure strain(or something you believe to be pure), keep a cut if possible, but if not..then just make seeds(as discussed before..if you mate two plants from an ibl or pure strain..it will remain an ibl(pure).

If by "100% Pure" you mean strains of pot that have never been touched by human hands, then I would say NO, they don't exist. What we call Marijuana is essentially a domesticated plant. Wild hemp certainly exists, but it sucks ass. Mostly it is good for nothing but a headache.
The landrace varieties that form the basis of our modern drug strains have been tended by human hands for literally millenia. They have been selected for potency and hardiness in local growing conditions for countless centuries, and these strains are still under cultivation in the Middle East and SE Asia by the decendents of the same people who bred them in the first place. I have a number of friends who have recently been sent to Iraq and Afghanistan who have actually seen these landrace strains grown in small family gardens just like they have been grown there for generations. While landrace marijuana varieties do grow "wild," I suspect most of these "wild" strains escaped from family gardens long ago. Hemp, left to it's own devices, has no real reason to develop the ability to get human beings stoned to the bone.
God may have created Hemp, but human beings created Dank.
Most of the strains we call "pure" these days are inbred lines (IBL's) that have been created through hybrid breeding and inbreeding of the original landrace strains. There is, no doubt, a countless number of these IBL's in existence -- most of which are completely unavailable to the average grower. Most IBL's have been developed by small growers who don't participate in the commercial madness that is the pot seed biz. These strains are closely held by small groups of friends and are virtually never sold. The IBL's held by commercial breeders are likely a minority of the total number of marijuana varieties in existence.

J.A.G, you should have some holyday trip in Hindu Kush area or Himalayas and you'll find plenty of WILD strains that hold strong potency. Or try as well the Tchu valley (border of Kazakhstan and Kirghizstan) were it grows wild on hundreds of thousand of hectares without any help from human hands.
Best handrubbed himalayan charas are made from wild plants which holds much much more genetic variety than the domesticated ones (which eventually get genetically poor and loose their adaptive qualities through inbreeding). If wild plants were coming from escaped domestic ones, then one wouldn't find hundreds of different phenotypes growing wild in a single area. We humans have created nothing, only selected plants with desired traits and properties FROM THE WILD ones.
Still today in Malana, for instance, people select and breed their strains from the wild varieties.
We didn't made the THC and other cannabinoids to appear from nothing. Both fiber and drug hemp are results of nature's work first. Most probably the first people who have domesticated (and spread to some extent) the wild psychoactive hemp are Scythes.
why not ? our brain produces its own cannabinoid compounds (anandamide) and have the right receptors to accept the "key" that thc is. In this case, poppies, shrooms, peyote, ayahuasca had no reason to devellop also the ability to get us high, well far more than high heheh. Most probably the ability to get high has existed before the appearance of Homo sapiens sapiens. It is much possible than pre-human species could get high as well from the psychoactive plants we know today. Who knows, could even be thanks to these plants that language has appeared, or even the notion of God.
human beings are not the only ones to get high from the resin. small birds actually like it a lot and it could be a mean for the plant to attract them and ensure a better and wider spreading of the seeds. I remember in Parvati valleys watching the sparrows filling on seeds and getting pretty stone, one couldn't have any doubt about how stones their way of flying looked. In Old days, in Yarkhun valley (Pakistan hindu Kush), people used to catch passerines after they ate seeds from the plant and scrap the resin from their beak to make potent stuff.
A pure strain is a poor strain !
well, just my 2 cents,
Irie !

There's no such thing as genetically "pure" anything, genetically. Even if it hasn't been touched by man, it's been touched by God by what we call "natural selection". What we refer to as "pure" strains are just hybrids inbred for certain generations to the point where the only typically display one phenotype. To be sure, every IBL in the world was sometime in the past a hybrid, one way or another.
