Aleph,
Hey bro no prob at all ! I recomend that you look for seed banks that work with landrace seeds first, Ace or Canabiogen is awesome, they will use a few "famed strains" here and there, but its mostly landraces genetics or crosses. This gives great strength as they are still have natures love in them, not like many of the seed banks that have crosses the same things to each other so many times it all ends up the same....and have lost so much qualities in there selections and over and over inbreeding that the most simple thing could kill all your plants as they don't resist much to natures touch as in a lab where they where some one played god.

Then I'd go for plants that read out door or greenhouse....choose'n a seed is truely hard...do you go by price, eyecandy..jeje so many colors...sizes you name...jjee so many to choose from, but the fun part will be to make your own later when you've found good strians to work from. I had great practice for yrs with just Colombians, then i met lots of friends through share'n good herbs.

I've got many many strians jeje so many that I'm die'n to try them all ! but can onl due a few at a time.

Plants that are 50%/50% are good, then up to 75% sativas...1005 sat will grow too much and too long for many taste. 100% indica won't due well unless is dry season, even then it will be a short stubby plant...small yield unles given light to help veg for more time...high price low yield seeds here unless helped thats for sure. In any humidity kiss those flowers good bye...Just my opion.

ok perfecto, I'll read some more and will post wich strain I've choosen,
This is my experimental etapa also, I;ve put the plants in a open green house, and some bugs eat some, but I like that way, more natural I think, here are some picks.







I won't be able to check them like in 3 weeks or so, so as soon as I check them again I'll show the pictures.
I have to hurry with the seeds thing because I want to be ready by the end of rainy season.
Also Im going to ask a friend for a couple of Humbold seeds that he brought from Amtdm to see how they do,
A few days ago I went to see spots, found some pretty ones, very remote and
keep growing in tiquicia....

beautyfull mushroom there!

Chaman youre not completely right. If u think that landraces are not inbreed youre so totally wrong. Thats why u find different sort's in the same countries. Many times plants are isolated and pollinates itself year after year. Some more than other and other are lucky to get new genetics with pollen comming from the wind far far away-

Prince, plants out in the open are generaly open polentated...this gives several males per female in most cases, these each offere'n diff mixes to the genetics of the various females too, so this asures that there will be seeds in such case as to where some of the gentic crosses wouldnt make it, others will thanks too the crosses.

Your speaking of a plot cared for by a man/woman where plants are chossen because of certian likes or needs...these plants are less resistent if "let loose" again as they been MANipulated too a point unless continued too be care'f for they would be useless on their own....kinda like them from places that like to "keep it in the family" jejje

Plants grown in from the wild, with some selection are the best i feel, but to go too extreems is bad I feel as they will looose too many caracteristics over time that where part of the reason we had fell in love with the strian.

Thats just my pt of view.

nice buckets of nice pics Chaman. But... there's something missing to me... what about adding some words along, just to tell us what we are looking at ? Name of strains would be very very nice, and would make this great thread twice better.

Irie !
