I'd generally agree with this for pure sativas, but there's very few pure sativas anymore. Leaf morphology certainly matters for hybrids; I've taken MNS 50% haze hybrids to F3 selecting for sativa leaf morphology and long flowering, and I ended up with "sativa" looking plants and much less Indica effect.
I think skinnier leaves amongst "pure" sativas are throwbacks to primal ancestors, who date back to when tropical cannabis was feral, before humans started breeding for yield and reduced flower time. I believe those are the kind of plants that gave us the magical highs back in the early 1970s. I'm currently doing a selection run of punto rojo and one of my selection criteria is skinny leaves, but the primary and final selection criteria will be to select only the latest plants to show sex, as an analog for duration of flowering time. We'll know how it turns out by April 2024.
TLDR - skinny leaves are a throwback to primal tropical sativas, and are a valid selection criteria, but not as important as flowering time and, most of all, effect of the final product.

I heard tell that in the very late 70's (I was still living in Colombia then) that they began exporting far lesser amounts of what became low grade cannabis by land to the USA through Mexico, which would have then arrived old, dried out, and not fresh like before, and were keeping, what became a much smaller, and much more limited sativa harvest locally, within Colombia and South America proper. There was very little flowing out of Colombia at that time, because of the DEA. The rapid transport by boat is what made it so fresh upon arrival, which they stopped. Remember too, that low grade, uncared for, ditch weed, exists everywhere. They started spraying cannabis fields (illegally) there too, and were massively paying off the corrupt Colombian government officials to enforce not to grow it, who gleefully took the money, and shoved it into their back pockets. That coincides with the cartels then deciding to switch to Coca plants, which simply exacerbated what had been really a non-problem, with a very major problem. Another way Uncle Sam shoots himself regularly in the foot, without really trying. DEA is evil, and corrupt.

really? I will ask him about it.. it surprises me though hehehehe
I am crossing it with different genetics, to get that F1 magic, not only in the plant growth, but in the effect too, you can judge yourself when you will finish your Acid Beauties. different effects to his haze line, changed or transformed effects, whatever... much more easy to find keeper with that intensive effect. I am looking forward to your impressions.

but of course, to those who dont understand the matter so much - which is normal, you have to use that 5% in hybrid... hehehe

indica doms are not good parent for thaihaze...
great uplifting euphoric high rascal ,
smooth and easy come down , no tiredness ...
the smell isnt like anything im familiar with other than asian weed ,
maybe a little bit of vanilla in there and some sour mango ...

Cool deal, beautiful plant!
I can only speak for myself and my circle of friends, no we just had very yellow tips to our thumb and first finger ha ha.
Looks like an exposed ovule to me. Recently ran a strain that would get those here and there.
It is an exposed ovule and not pollinated won’t mature into a seed. I have had strains when fed too much for their liking they grow enlarged ovules too.
My theory

I also agree, After a pistil is pollinated it will shrivel and die in about 3 weeks That pistil should not be there. I see this mostly in Haze and Sativa dom genetics.

lol. I agree to disagree. I'm an old fuck and this is the lay of the land as far as I can see it.
Outdoor Southern California. About to pop. Use a night light to keep veg and let her rip in august.
What are we looking at there LT?Only way to begin a Friday!
Love You Long Time! This cut just ignites positive energy and motivation! Much more forgiving to grow than the mint mom. She takes full nutes and is done about 11-12. Insane evil scent like Nevil with the root and a bit of rotten fruit from the cindy. Its smells wonderful after a nice cure. A bit jittery but that will wear off and the ride is long like the mint with a clear landing.

The kind of lights you use has alot to do with it as well. Most people have seen how CFLs and their defused light make wider leaves. Light blue spectrum makes longer fingers dark blue spectrum makes shorter internods etc.
