did u even READ my post??? i never said that ALL of them switched. MOST of them did however. go watch the vid. one of the farmers has a border by a stream. the plants on his side are moroccan, the other side is one of the farmers who decided to do like most others and switch to the paki genes. the moroccan farmer doesnt even want to except that some of his crop is paki hybrid from them mixing. he doesnt realise how far pollen travels.
and No. you cant just DESTROY genes. you cant make pot seeds out of thin air... and moroccan plants for example have a VERY shallow gene pool. they are simply for hash.
AND if landraces are SOOOO much better than why the hell arent we all just growing landrace strains. its because they arent. they grow good where they came from, and thats one reason why they are so good in that enviroment. why do u think Skunk #1 was such a breakthru in breeding/indoor growing?
do i really need to say this?
EDIT: ive come to the conclusion that you are too hard-headed to understand that what u are saying isnt exactly right. how can u say that all american strains are the same!? LOL.
you've totally lost the concept of the thread's original topic. have a good new year
Your steady trying to prove me wrong , but you keep posting false info. I watched a whole documentary on Arjan and he started his business from getting seeds from Africa and the middle Eastern countries along with a few others. All your doing is proving what I'm saying.
Moroccan Genes plus Pakistani genes make for a more diverse pool that is NOT shallow it is in fact packed with many pheno's which the video you told me to watch even says. The mountains they live in are harsh conditions which the video you told me to watch clearly shows. The farmers in the mountains have been growing the strains for thousands of years which the video you told me to watch also states. If you know MJ than you know it thrives in better conditions which is why you can make better hash when you have better quality plants.
Never said Genes are DESTROYED, but they are lost through crossing and other various techniques that purposely isolate particular traits and take advantage of dominance.
Dude, no one has the patients to put up with Landrace strains because of the wide variety you get. Everyone is lazy and wants a particular gene/strain/pheno. Hence we have breeders to isolate it for us and we just have to find it with a few beans planted from them. Even after all the work they do its still common to get different pheno's.
I'm hard headed maybe, but I'm not exactly wrong either. If Arjan is convinced that the genes in Morrocco are shallow then why does he even go there? He is not just smoking hash there he is also collecting beans and searching for better genetics. Thousands of years of breeding MJ... Thousands
Your not even attempting to understand what I'm saying. Most american breeders are using similar product just like most breeders in spain and amsterdam. Its called accessibility. It only takes a click on the computer to get seeds from a company.
If you think I'm full of shit why are you even bothering to debate? what plant are you growing? Where does its genetics originate? Do you even know?
How about everyone just put their Genetics up and lets see how far back we can go and where they end up?
