Do you mean the Ortega? I was literally about to buy them, saw this just in time, thanks for the tip.
Had my eye on these for a while, please do report back how you get on with them. Might’ve been collected too late to be type one.
Yes sir no go along with a few others from there. Sad I had high hopes. Cloning an african queen currently hoping it doesn't suffer the same fate. I have grown the purest indica I really like it. However it too can herm if you don't clean up the lower branches.
I think you’ll end up with cbd dominant plants unless you start with something that doesn’t contain it or actively select away from it every generation.

At this point, any genetic base will do to start off. I think that cbd has its place you know? The idea is to do individual selection for desired traits and then breed in genetics i like, and honestly i dont hate cbd, its probably going to be a part of the genome indefinitely, imdavidual selection to erase cbd is probably what people will have to do in the future. You are probably right on the money about it being used as genetic pollution, but i dont see why we cant use those genes anyway, if there is no actual hemp cultivation nearby, especially considering wild hemp has been found in my lands as it is already! Would be cool to have plants that dont have the 'pollution' but me personally, if the plants have any medicinal effects and make folks lifes easier then thats all that matters really.I think you’ll end up with cbd dominant plants unless you start with something that doesn’t contain it or actively select away from it every generation.
Pipeline has a little patch he’s been using for about 10 years and he gets volunteers in spring, might be possible to select for dormancy and self dispersal in a cultivated type one if you keep growing it in the same place long enough.

This one might be a good place to start because they grow it over winter as well as their main summer crop, ‘in the winter temperatures lurk around 10-15°C’, there’s no lab testing for it but it’s possibly not contaminated with hemp or skunk judging by the reported effects and remote location.
I might try this naturalising idea with an f1 between it and purest indica, initially selecting for short flowering botrytis resistant plants. No hemp/cbd pollen contamination to worry about here, just cold wet horrible weather and dog walkers.
If you live in a place where cbd plants don’t grow it’s a unique opportunity to naturalise a type one, places where industrial hemp is produced this wouldn’t be possible.
I think it would be irresponsible to naturalise something that produces cbd, we all make our own choices though, you can’t change other peoples behaviour other than pulling up any hemp you find near your plot.
I think you should 100% do some crossing and selection yourself, let your environment do the selection, save seeds from the survivors and repeat the process until you have resilient members that make it to harvest, then you can select for and breed the traits you like. "Landrace gardening" on youtube you can get the baisic principles really quick, but the book is also worth it, very cheap.
I don’t think the other cannabinoids were bred out of hemp, I think there’s deleterious genes in industrial hemp that reduce cannabinoid diversity in every generation, same with skunk only hemp favours cbd and skunk prefers delta9 so you end up with just those two cannabinoids or one of those two if you select out the other.
The sediment in the retting pools they used to process the plants that made that rope and canvas (which is Dutch for cannabis) contains lots of cbn, a byproduct of degraded thc, it does not contain any cbd.
I’ll second this. Just harvested one of his Skunk #1s. Still drying so I haven’t tested it yet. Easy to grow, etc. I only had space for one plant, so not sure if its representative of type - mine is sweet on the nose. No “skunk” yet.
I'll second that
I was reading an article a few years back that claimed when the THC levels reach a high enough level then it starts effecting the plant terpenes. Not sure how much truth there is to that but maybe it explains why so many jacked up hybrids are only good for catching a buzz. I know i find sativas to be far better at treating my aches and pains, if only temporarily. I just use indicas for x-files n chill.
I think its the entourage effect of all the different types of thc, thcp ect. that makes good weed medicinal.
Especially younger folks like generation z. They don't want medicinal quality, just the stoned effects.
If it was a Purest Afghani thread, I'd be _much_ more likely to participate.
I certainly hope NL Seattle Greg is getting a good cut of sales for the hit his reputation has taken for associating with asshats ike Matt Riot and Todd McCormick.
Back in the 90's, Sensi was simply the best, beyond reproach, primarily based on the work Nevil did for them before he was busted.
Glad you got them in their prime. That seems to be the way with most seedbanks. They reach the top of the game and feel they no longer have to make an effortBack in the 90's, Sensi was simply the best, beyond reproach, primarily based on the work Nevil did for them before he was busted.
Glad I got my shit from them when I did.
Their plants can’t have been that good if the quality went downhill so quick when they lost the original parents and had to find replacements from the offspring.
