    Was about to mention this myself, I guess in the bigger city areas people use sidewalks because there is no other option unless you like being mowed down by traffic. But man in the suburbs it's like they don't exists, I myself am extremely guilty of not using sidewalks.

    For the guys willing to invest a little time into reading some old threads. Head on over to ICmag and read some of the old threads around OG Kush, Sour Diesel and Chemdog. It makes for very interesting reading. Am I allowed to punt another forum? I'm not suggesting anyone defect. LOL! 

     

    ICmag and seedfinder are great for if you want to go down never ending rabbit hole on info on the more popular strains from the past few decades 😁

    I understand and agree that personal preference comes into play, part of why there is variety... But it feels as if weed from that other picture has been extremely difficult to come across... Why is this the case? Only recently have we started to gain access to more strains like this? Is it due to the laws? Have people been keeping it to themselves and smaller groups / circles?

    Have breeders been lazy and some of the larger ones not bothered to put time and effort in to get such strains?

    I agree that even locally where I stay I've seen improvement in local stuff being sold over the past few years, mostly because people who never had access to foreign genetics are now able to hop online and get strains that they've wanted to grow forever from all these famous breeders. 

    But I mean there are so many aspects to it, people in the community being so open about it now and people trying to get a foot into the door etc ... 

    Edit: when I say locally I mean from people that grow and sell their own weed, not stuff brought in from other provinces 😅

    Why have people still been growing jut like this:

    30 years later and the above is still common amongst growers. As far as I am concerned, weed like this is below average.

    The thing is it comes to personal preference, there are people that are only looking to smoke "the best weed" in terms of bud appeal, thc content and good tasting terps.  And then are people who like trying everything because it really comes down to the experience. 

    Just by the way that "jut" you referring to (auto Daiquiri Lime) and I'm by no means a Dutch Passion fanyboy. But that is some good tasting weed !😆

    @Weskush, he talks about some interesting stuff. 

    • The fact that him and Soma used the same male when breeding different lines because they were sure of it's traits.
    • When he talks about terp profiles was also good (especially the part about the Gas terp profiles)

    Define dominant... 

    When I choose males the following traits drive my decision making

    Structure, branch strength, vigor, leaf to flower ratio, trichome dense, smelly males, flower density, pollen production, resistance to pests and PM... 

    All of which can be considered dominant. 

     

     

    So I've watch this video and part is extremely confusing to me mostly because he doesn't explain anything further and then the video cuts to him talking about female traits. 

    But when talking about "dominate males" he mentioned something about males that show sex early being hermi prone, but later on he talks about him and Soma using single dominate male with recessive traits in multiple lines. I was super stoned when I watched with and it was like 1:00 am so I might've gotten lost somewhere. 

    Edit: so I've re-watched it and he does go to explain that these "dominate males" carry the hermi trait and can be covered up using hybrid vigour etc... And then on the point of him talking about him and Soma he explains how the males they selected carried "dominate traits" that are desired in high THC producing strains. Very interesting watch, but the music is a bit distracting if you've smoked :-grooving

    Just because it is organic does not mean microbes and fungi are being used, on the other hand just because someone is using salt nutes, does not mean they are not making use of microbes and fungi. As well as just because someone is using some organic soil with microbes and fungi, does not mean it is an organic grow as other additives, supplements, nutes or sprays could be used which are not organic.

     

    Very good point, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. Like what I said about a no till garden, it takes a balance of the three. 

    The bulk of synthetic salt based nutrients on the market (not specifically marketed / recommend in cannabis growing)  have been show to degrade soil quality and cause a few other issues, a lot of these products do not state it and you actually have to do some reading to understand what everything inside them does. And this is why I prefer the organic no till route, especially because I eat a lot of what comes out of my garden.

    Edit: yes there are studies that show the opposite, and mentioned in these it comes down to use. 

    I would just like to add I am no scientist, have never done any testing. Just read stuff and decided to make my own decision.

    so if you are following the salt based nutrient feeding schedule for happy healthy plants... then your meduim will also be happy and healthy. i do not remember ever seeing a healthy plant in unhealthy medium.

      Synthetic fertilizers work, but just because something works doesn't mean it is the best way of doing things.

    Howzit people. 

    Here to learn and just see what's going on. I'm a grower, only been growing for 6 years and recently got into breeding to create/preserve strains I like. I grow outdoors, I know the basics of indoor growing but do not have my own setup. I prefer local genetics and love to dabble with bagseed. 

    I created this account for fun, just to share my experiences and hopefully learn a thing or two.

    Edit: I don't have any pics up on the forum yet but you guys can check out my instagram if you keen  SAgrower (@africangrown) • Instagram photos and videos
