Exactly! I am going to be pushing very hard into the more "heirloom/landraces" varieties for lack of a better term in the future - strains like original pure Thai, Congolese, Malawi Gold, afghans, hashplants, etc. But I do want to have something on hand to compare these things to the more "American poly-hybrid conglomerations of the same genes knocking around the west coast for the past 20 years." This strain is selected almost entirely for its aesthetic qualities from a "grower's enjoyment" perspective. I have always wanted to grow a cannabis strain so dark it was pitch black. This strain seems like the first one available in seed form that I could purchase and that didn't require additional prep work for full color expression.
If the yield, potency, effect and olfactory expressions are good as well, then I will be very very satisfied with this strain and keep it in my library - even if it isn't as unique as the more regional landraces strains I will be growing otherwise.
Strains like this may prove useful down in the coming years as I might want to make some crosses that feature more color or raw THC boost irrespective to unique effect. It will be another tool in the genetic toolbox. Maybe I'll like it and use it, maybe I'll like it and only keep it pure, maybe I'll dislike it and never cross it to anything again (even itself). Who knows?
But the plant in the ad was one of the most beautiful plants of ANY species I have ever seen, and as a plant nerd I think I would be a fool not to try to grow it if only to behold its beautiful flowers with my own two eyes - to say little of its psychoactive effects.
Man, one way or another we're about to find out what the deal is with this strain! It's gonna be a ton of fun!
