Excellent idea, OS... Plus, you'll be making a difference in some poor farmer's life!
Elmanito - From what I've came to understand weed here isn't exactly unpotent but more accurately varied. It simply is not bred for these characteristics. The women who pick it to sell to foreigners care less of quality. Why would they? The Chinese don't use it. I've heard plenty say things like "I only found one bag that got me stoned the entire time I've been here." The thing is that means they have all encountered atleast one plant here each that had the right stuff.
so no one else but me associated big seeds with crappy smoke?
I've always been a buyer of bags..and I can't remember a bag with big seeds in it that was acually good smelling/tasting or even produced a good stone.
It notable reminds me of a guy i used to get from who had quit smoking years before but had kept selling for the dough. He didn't care of quality, because he wasnt consuming it, so ended up getting the cheapest pounds that the mexicans would sell him..sometimes as low as 700$ for a elbow..and it was the shittiest shit you ever did touch
but I never have actually tried popping a "big" seed (for good reason, the stuff it came from may as well have been ruderalis)..Would like to know others opinion on this
I also noticed the one and only time that i got seeds online, they were super small..So is there any concrete info on how the size of the seed correlates to the plant itself? (and for that matter "tiger stripes" everyone thinks if they striped they awesome..any truths there?)
There is enough variation to be found here to go around! It seems every plant I encounter has some novel trait that makes it different than the previous. Take this new find for example :

Nothing special at first, just a small little plant growing along some bushes. Then you happen to look at the stem and see this :

It is wooden! I have never seen weed have a wood stem before. This is a young baby with a completely wood stalk.
Here she is potted with some others for now (I will repot them individually when I find where to buy pots.) :

Thule, whether they are ancestors or not, they definately have a distinction all their own.
Elmanito, I will read through the thread you posted also and see what others have found in Yunnan as well. Thank you for the link.
