What genetics led to modern cannabis insane trichome coverage?

Nice, the good old Great White shark cross,I've found some devastatingly strong plants in the seeds I've done long ago, one of the females was the most narcotic cannabis I've grown. Yours come from a different breeder but you'll find some great individuals for sure.

Isn't the GWS Super Skunk x WW??

Some pictures show lots of hairs with no caps or glands, I attribute these to extra cal mag and led's, as there are calcium carbonate crystals at the base of each one. If you breed for these it just makes sense there would be more over each generation. But there could be other reasons the buds are obviously different.

Good 1!
I'm sending out some 'great white shark x Maloki frost' from ndnguy to a friend.

I would think it started with the introduction of Afghani.

This are mine most resinous to this date,some personal cross.

Sour Bubble X Jack Cleaner x SFV OG Kush

Panama x DC F1
Resin + resin lol

I think it‘s not a new as you may think . Hash farmers have been selecting for high trichome for thousands of years . For example you can grow out a straght landrace from Afganistán and find stand out plants covered with snow maybe not all that high THC but plenty of resin

I thought it was WW x SK#1 but now you make me doubt, I'll check whet the description says. the description says WW x SK#1 for Mr Nice Shark Shock

They are from breeders retail. Cultivators choice.

This plant looks "sativa"

It's afghan (DC) x THH F2

What a beautiful plant, what type of high did she have?

I know many will disagree and I have an obvious bias but imnsho, it all started in the '80s with NL #5. Unretouched, un-Photoshopped back in the day pic from Ed Rosenthal:

Thank you brother Raco
I was just about to say look at that sheen
That silver runs deep in I-95 lines and some chems
Makes sense

Which came first the hash farmer or the hash plant?

 

[Dime]

High resin content

This question has multiple answers, but the biggest one is selective breeding. With enough selective breeding you can narrow down potency quite a bit. Cannabis because of the massive amount of seeds you get finding a unicorn can be pretty easy. There are a few land races that where potent, but I'd go back before og kush, or chem and say afgani, especially skunk x afgan.

Potency and trichome coverage are not always correlated...

anyway i remember that white widow was the first plant where i saw that crazy trichome cover, medium long stems and sticky resin. I also remember shark shock as one of the first strains that consistently produced crazy frosty specimens with those typical trichome tunnels. Before the widow i think NL was the undisputed queen.
Regarding new things, i often see trichomes with very long stems and with lots of barely sketched heads and i always, always find soapy resin.

Another clue is how hash plants From the Hindu Kush and Pakistan have resin extending through the leaves , whereas sativas evan hash plants it’s mostly on the flowers
