Yes, I am looking forward to growing an actual sativa. I haven't had much luck with seed banks in this regard. On the left is the JLB I started with, not Roms, (a little frostbite from being in the snow). On the far right is Anesia's Panama Red (advertised as a pure landrace sativa). View attachment 18941655
I know exactly what your saying, but give them some time, some of these hybrid sativas advertised as pure do put broad leaf phenos during their younger veg cycle but I’ve seen them reshape narrow leaves once flower. I think it’s recessive traits from breeding broad leaf genotypes.
But it’s also obvious that once you see narrow leaf pheno from seed it’s a real pure or almost unadulterated genotypes.
The hybrid I am running started broad leaf, and the males are as well. It’s not what I would consider a pure Sativa narrow leaf but once flower cycle started and sex expressions the female does look and act narrow leaf sativa. For me that’s phenotypic plasticity.
I think the males have stronger incidence in predictable pheno traits than most people think. A better male selection ?? Or should I say reschedule parameters to chose male pollen donors..?
That’s why I started making my own seed/genetics, way better for me to predict my results by looking at my population and donors; rather than leaving it to the other people that well… most of us have lost trust in what they say the did, in terms of breeding and descriptions.
It’s starting to be the norm to say what has been done down the line (f3-f10-f45??), backcross, selfed ? Still the industry doesn’t say much about male populations.
Anyway… just rambling here man. We all have been there disappointed on genetics out there.
