^^^ I think commercial growers like short plants they can stack together like sardines.
Huge branching plants are not what they want. I don't think it has anything to do with
the quality of the end product. The faster they turn it out is what they care about.
I think its about flowering time and compact out of state shipment.
Of course flowering time is a big factor. I don't think you'll find many 18+ week buds at a dispensary anytime soon.
I think KionaTHC is the only one who supplies long flowering varieties to the dispensaries.
Googled em, first thing I saw was "cold cured". Keeping up with old school tradition I see.
Wtf does no one understand curing anymore? Curing is going reaching 'myth' status rather quickly.
This has been going on for over 20 years in the illicit commercial scene. I remember in the late 90s/early 2000s everything had that fresh cut smell and taste and was barely half dried so they could use the wet stickiness as a selling point.
Heck I’m my neck of prohibitionland it’s harder to sell cured product. Everyone cares more about bag appeal than actual quality. They want those fresh bright green buds over a properly cured bud that may have lost some of the “pop” from its color. Obviously not everyone but the majority want the hyped stuff with great bag appeal over good quality and even higher potency.
It doesn't help when people like StrainHunters give people seeds from their company after they got Landraces from them.
I suspect they did that to forever ruin the genetics.
I have seen youngsters rejecting Thai buds due to the looks and the lack of skunky smell, until the point to refuse smoke them. Pretty insane but true.
I was hinting at Arjan and crew.Not all the strainhunters did that though..
As the stock of rsc is limited
lol, who says?
hybridization is far and away the biggest cause of biodiversity loss in Cannabis
above all, introducing non-native seed to Asia
^What's triploidy going to do? That's straight genetic mutation.
