I dunno,,, but that amateur Colombian, Thai, Mex, etc, from back in the day, was pretty damn good enough for me
The whole concept of professional vs amateur is based in formalities of questionable value and dubious origin which only apply in legal commerce.
Meanwhile, some people are still waiting to know their samples results since more than a year has passed
cheers
Not really. I'm talking about advanced breeding technologies. It's about numbers, facilities, funding, available technologies etc. Professional breederds have access to genotype mapping and can single out plants that carry a certain gene for example, never having to actually wait if the gene is expressed or not. Chromosomal technologies, seed and clone repositories, the possibility to maintain hundreds of plants at a time, extensive progeny testing.. just things that pop into mind when comparing professional breeding to amateurs. Advanced breeding techniques have been applied to pretty much every other crop out there, corn, wheat, rice, strawberry, cherry.. you name it.
All that hasn't been done much with cannabis because of the illegal status. It's all changing now whether we're ready or not.

<<...To me strains of plants are a bit like land, So I’ll use the analogy of MPOV on land. You can hold land, you can work it, your family can hold it in its control for many generations but you never really own it. So I feel while you have the land in your care, that is what you should do, care for it! So future generation can have the pleasure of it in the future. If you are a good person you will leave it in better condition than you found it in.
you are right. breeding is about passion and love, simply caring..
this is real breeding:
professional breeding is bullshit also known as marketing hype why to call something "amateur breeding" ? cant you name it just pollen chucking? like we all do? breeding doesnt need modern western science at all.. its useless. by growing it and smoking it I will get better knowledge of it than any "professional" using chromosome analysis LOL
Perfect. Modern scientific breeding and chromosome analysis and tissue culture didn’t produce “Mortgage Lifter” tomatoes, Original Glue, Girl Scout Cookies, it produces plants that have specific shapes, ripening schedules, bruise resistance, no offspring, clones that won’t thrive (don’t think they’ve got that one yet but I’m sure they’re working on it), plants with shelf appeal but poor flavor and poor nutritive value.
They produce PRODUCTS - not yours, theirs.
True, true, true...
Nice to see you, beta: hope you’ve been well
My point was that none of that stuff is genuinely *breeding* IMO, but is genetic engineering instead
From Mendel on, *breeders* have tried to improve by selecting and combining the best they had - horses, plants, pets...offspring, too, but THAT turned into a real can of worms over the course of time (the Hapsburgs, the mastiff), so as we’ve wised up over successive generations, we’ve mostly stopped dead-end and bad-plan breeding, AFAICT...except for the production of as I say, products.
No, I haven’t seen it but I really am not surprised at all to hear it: all those guys are just names to me, never even met anyone who met ‘em. Outside of my regular regard for my fellow beings I don’t give a rat’s ass. I read what they said, and I saw what they showed in their galaxy, and I read other people’s experiences, then I thought it through. To me the shit was transparent, once I was done. See the same shit done in “politics” all the time, starting with the JBS red-scaredid you see the video exposed this morning of Moglwi say in fact they expect to replace all of todays cannabis with their genetically engenieered product, sourced from all the data and collect IP
Drawing a blank on 1st SFOD (special forces, 1st division?). Not sure I’m following the rest, either, but if gangs like those are guarding grows - how come we only hear about MS13? - I’d have to say money, and why should they care, because MONEY. If they’re in on it or not, the moneys still there and they want it.Here’s my question:
What’s the point of Hell’s Angels/AB, Mexi cartels, Macedonian/Russian/Greek/Warsaw mafias protecting farms if they are not going to deal with rats and agotators like Skunkman, Chimera, Mowgli, R. Clarke et al?
If I was those people, I would want to be close friends with 1st SFOD

But what to do about private armies surrounding growfarms must be a completely different topic....
