Some excellent points. Mucho Mucho respect to the breeders who take the time to search out and find these strains and then take the time to refine them into easy to grow hybrids for the average grower.little_man said:....- remember that there is a reason why professionnal breeders exist: this kind of strains is often not as potent as the modern hybrid. Not all individuals are adapted to indoor ! Don't expect to have a homogenous 'quick to finish - productive - potent' strain if you grow to preserve diversity.
So if you catch a landrace to make your own selection, unless you can grow more than 50 individuals of the same strain at a time, I think you'd spend better your money in a breeder's work, because there is a lot of work before obtaining a 'calibrated' product. See for examples the differences between this Panama red and the ACE Panama, in which this P. red participates.

Let's also mention that landraces have usually a very particular type of high, with defaults in it. That is what makes their charm (because their qualities are really strong !) but also there is the fact you can be bored with it after a while. Hybrids may show more complex high, or more adapted to different 'set and settings'.
.ngakpa said:hmmmm glad you didn't use anything stronger than "often" and "may" there, as I think those are some very questionable generalisations i.e. with regard to the high/experiential side of things
there are a lot of very one dimensional and unchallenging hybrids out there, and a lot of killer landrace cultivars...
I don't want to sidetrack the thread - but I just spent a few days smoking some bricked Thai and some NL#5 x Haze from a cut... now as with everyone I would be very suprised if the NL#5 x Haze did not have higher THC... but as for which one got me higher and more fucked up, and which one lasted longer... well they both got me out of my tree from one bowl... but which high had more depth and more bite? well, I think I would have to say the Thai... maybe I am just prejudiced, I don't know
