High Grade Submit your ICMag Amsterdam Interview Questions - Sam Skunkman, Simon (Serious Seeds), K.C. Brains and Soma

[Gypsy Nirvana]

- Soon I will be off on a trip to Amsterdam - and have decided to make a sorta video travelogue interspersed with some interviews of some of the top people in the industry over there - people of interest - who have had a long association with the cannabis plant - its growing - its breeding and seed making -

- What questions might I ask these growers/breeders? - I could come up with a few - but how about if I turned that question over to you? - What questions would YOU ask them?

- This idea of asking the membership holds much merit in my mind - not only does it give me more questions to ask - it gives the opportunity for any member here to ask a question or two also - so I'd say that is what is called 'inclusive' -

- So lets hear it - what questions would you ask Simon of Serious Seeds - Sam Skunkman - and KCBrains ? -


*- Who else would you like me to interview - and ask them what?

 

[Roms]

What part of Hindu Kush and Afghan genetics in the game ?

Happy trip to you all, cheers!

 

[willydread]

Not a question, but I would share some spliffs and lots of chats with kcbrain, one of the most underrated but absolutely smart (Talented) breeders in Europe...

 

[exploziv]

For sure ask Simon about future projects! Well I guess you could ask them all about that!

 

[Cvh]

How they see the future of Cannabis. Things like the ongoing legislation that's happening worldwide. How they see this continuing?

Another question, I think flowers are still the main product used of Cannabis in both legal and non-legal markets. But I do see a rise of extracts being used. Will we in the future all go to start smoking extracts or will flowers remain the main method of Cannabis used?

Will GMO enhanced Cannabis plants ever be thing? For example plants modified by CRISPR? For example as with corn in America. If I'm not mistaken any GMO plants are not allowed in Europe.

Do they belief that landrace strains are still doomed for extinction into their native regions? Or with the impending worldwide legislation going on people might return to offer their native strains like for example Malawi from Malawi instead of GG4 from Malawi or authentic Lebanese hash from Lebanon?

I second this. I'm talking with somebody regarding the filming of the Amsterdam part at the moment.

Once that's confirmed we'll be sorting a suitable venue.

Excellent!

In addition to Cvh I'm also interested in the future direction of extractions and edibles. How much weight are these folks putting on non-smokable (oral route vs. inhalent) products and how do they view their future as an alternative delivery method for medicinal or recreational use?

Quiet indoor venue that looks dutch and allows smoking..
I'm thinking a boat. Perhaps asking the people over there is the best bet. They must meet people somewhere. Perhaps within a greenhouse setting. They know ams better than any of us.

Perhaps if legalisation in the states has changed much. If they see more customers from there now, or have better access to parent material. If the plants we see on both continents are that different, or aligning more now.

You could talk about Spain. Ask them stuff you already know, but a newbie wants to learn. If they have moved production to other countries in light of a better legal situation.


So, how many plants have you grown this year.
What is your favourate right now.
All time favourate.
Can you remember your first experience with cannabis.


Don't forget to take a proper sized mug with you. Put it on the table beside there little dutch one. Own that table lol

 

[f-e]

I wonder if there is anything they are trying to source at the moment. Some old beans that might be in someone's stash, or some specific landrace trait they would have to travel for. Something the audience might be able to help with

 

[RandyCalifornia]

- What questions might I ask these growers/breeders?

When they are growing out seeds what, markers, cues, morphology characteristics are they looking for to get excited about the final bud, strength, quality?

 

[flower~power]

 

[StevenHXF]

I'm sure Gyp will pass it on.

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

puff-puff-pass - I see some great questions and ideas -

 

[flower~power]

Lol…don’t even use ..just grow it

 

[Hammerhead]

What do they think about the quality of cannabis today. Do they think those old lines are lost or could proper breeding bring them back. Have modern hybrids polluted most landrace genetics found today. .

@ojd would be good, he's in the trenches. You can do that one before you leave too. Great understanding of past, present and future

Gypsy, if you could ask Soma when he got the Hawaiian Indica male from shanti when did the penny drop, this is going make him filthy lucre. I.e. back to back success with every line he used it in. How does it feel that one of his plants started the CBD industry as we know it today (NYC Diesel)

Question for SamSkunkman other than cold weather, cheap brasses and Argentinian steakhouses, what has kept him in Amsterdam so long.

Tom Hill

The Crazy Baldheadz interview would be a good one.
