I don't think we're close to figuring out the genetic connections between different types of cannabis. The gene pool is so large and diverse.
The genetic plasticity of cannabis is bound to confuse things. In one environment a landrace could turn into hemp within 50 years, in another environment it could turn into high THC in the same time period, and another THC + CBD. Or develop wide leaves or thin leaves.
The common terms people use now will be found to have nothing to do with where the strains originally came from or were used for. We've known for a while that the terms Indica and Sativa are inaccurate and arbitrary. Narrow leaf varieties are found across Central Asia and Wide Leaf varieties are found in the tropics.
I think latitude + human needs will be the most important factors. In one area with what appears to be three different strains, hemp, oil, and drug it may be found that they all started as one strain.

You all must be the smartest mothers around because i'm so retarted that i can see what resembles hemp in non-hybridized indica its so not obvious? god i must be the dumbest trucker around everyone because i got glasses on or something. no offense because thats who i am. Hemp is awesome.

Its hot out. The soil dries i have to water like every day now. Giant thick stems. They're stretching with small leaves filling in gaps with bushing, its so amazing how branches are growing from out the bottom, They're practically growing out of the side of the ground like runners.


Couldn't be happier, these are great plants i think I've made the right choice.

So I'm trying to forget, gravity falls and hashplants are grown in the fields where multipurpose varieties are the lowest common denominator... To be honest that answer from hemp makes the honest sense when you think about gravity within the cultivar, in the leaf Chums! DOI! Obvious that percentage is always shrinking.

Still trucking Ivy Leagues!


Check out the canopy. They're falling over branching profusely.

I'm constantly redefining the landrace every time i see them, trying to see what direction they're going to take. seriously imparting picture of early growth they're right along with it if not for the whorled phyllotaxy it may not be so the adaptability compensates during the fall.

I don't intend to take over the thread. I'd like to report initial flowering development from Lebanese on august 20 at 48N, 3000 elevation. Curious how the flowers may finish at less than 8 weeks from now.

Why is there so much shade on those Lebanese plants in post #305?

Cut those trees.

The cage is strictly for the plants protection.



Want to cultivate large spear leaves from Lebanon.







Strong afghani form going into july sometime shortly before when the rain stopped pouring.







Aug 26.


Reminds me of afghani crossed with durban.

I'm trying to understand how these plants may breed true for BLD, seed to flower genealogically. They're seemingly Sativa var. Indica and the sativa traits held dominance early in clone form but now especially during this later stage, may it be close to 50/50. The frame seems to be indica with sativa leaflets. May you call BLD an recessive trait?

 

[ngakpa]

all 'drug' cannabis whether Afghan or Thai or whatever is best classified as one subspecies, namely Cannabis sativa ssp. indica

leaflet width is a obsession of Western growers and is a totally misunderstood issue

broad leaflets and large leaves are characteristics that develop in plants with compound leaves during the process of domestication (the reverse is true when plants with compound leaves naturalize as 'wild' populations)

using leaflet width as a taxonomic category is a fundamental misunderstanding

Thanks for that clarification Ngakpa I understand your correct. That seemingly classifies subspecies taxonomy based on chemotype instead of altitude.


Can Broad leaf be a recessive trait or is it dominant, it may be cultivated like allele frequencies & genetic drift?

Can Broad leaf be a recessive trait or is it dominant, it may be cultivated like allele frequencies & genetic drift?

The easiest way to find out is to cross a broad leaf with a narrow leaf and watch the outcome in the next generation.

SINAI

She's developing a wonderful floral ganja hashy smell. I wasn't too impressed a while back, I was thinking wimpy Landrace novelty but in a bigger container she filled in a bit. She was still stuck in little white hairball mode with no flavor. I hit her with a big blast of molasses plus P and K and she's responded nicely. Now I'm seeing a bit of resin plus that exotic smell. The flowers are filling in I'm glad I hit her with some Hashplant pollen.

 

[ngakpa]

heard this before about some plants developing aromas late

what latitude is this?

 

[Lesnah]

I grew a Sinai once, which was eaten up by caterpillars in a park outside....it smelled so strong like Burnt rubber with just only 4 weeks from seed . I think it was a male too.

 

[indabonga]

harvest a pair of sinai 2 weeks ago...indoor..under led migro...zero smell..zero high....very low yeld...

 

[therevverend]

47 degrees N. You can see the sister of the male I crossed it with in the background of the picture.
The smell started when the resin glands appeared. You can see them in the picture they're some of the smallest I've seen.
The seed bracts on the limb I hit with the pollen of course have swollen up much larger then the other bracts which are tiny. We'll see but this may be a rare case where you might be better off growing seeded instead of sinsemilla. Bigger bracts mean more resin glands.

An interesting development in the Sinai. Today out in the hot sun she smells like cantaloupe. Took me 10 seconds to pin it down. Really interesting smells right now.
She doesn't wilt. I forget to water her sometimes and I can barely tell she's thirsty. Her leaves hang down a little more, that's it. Great drought tolerance there. She enjoys a bit of food once in a while but can take or leave the water.
I've found with cannabis that if you want to grow plants that look like old time Moroccan or Afghan or Lebanese don't feed and water them. They'll grow 3 feet tall with one medium cola and top, almost no branching. It's that way with a lot of strains. The Sinai isn't going to get much bigger but the food helps her buds puff up nicely. I'm guessing it helps potency quite a bit we'll see.
