Thanks alot buddy!
Still waiting fingers crossed on the Kerala beans to pop! Always a gamble with old seeds but if they pop it's gonna be a great day!! We are going to be working some heirloom stuff as well soon, any suggestions on things to acquire and breed ( only heirlooms, cultivated continuously for generations by local people of a region)
I get alot of questions about heirlooms like " Is gorilla glue #4 an heirloom? ,I've grown it for 3 years in the same place and so have my friends" ....... ........... that's...not...an heirloom.....I'd say at least minimum 15 years in a single area to be safe and not like " skunk #1 has been around since 85 why isn't it an heirloom!?" ...well it could be if you could provide proof or well accepted common knowledge that it has been grown and acclimated by a small group of people that whole time..then yes it's particular phenoyype maybe considered an heirloom, but I think more along the lines of....peyote purple, crippy, blue dream( to the Santa Cruz area), Colorado clone Durban, g13 from the southern Ohio region, things that you can go and sit at a table of strangers that toke and bring up, and that everyone around goes.." oh yea I remember that shit or yes we still have it!" That imo is more of an heirloom genetic....that being said....I wanna know what you guys think?!

What about clone only grown for 20+ years but without males for pollination? My crippy would be a good example. The crippy clone has been in the Tampa bay area since 95 and has now in growing at 10000+ ft above sea level for 3 years and has definitely changed its expression from the sea level gardens inside to 10000 ft sun year round. If I'm wrong about the heirloom stuff I will gladly admit it. No ego here, just trying to learn more every year. Going into my 12th year of cultivation so I have a ton more to learn
I know the genotype doesn't change when a clone acclimates it's just interesting how drastic the phenotypical variation can be from one environment to the other. I'm sure that almost every landrace by now has been pollinated by invader pollen! Green house seeds strain hunters vids make me laugh, pollen from lemon haze and church going all over the native crop
those fuckwits spreading their weak ass shit around!!! morons. I hear you buddy and I do agreeI try to keep my nose out of breeder politics but greenhouse..... I really really dont like those guys.....
im almost positive they knew what they were doing when they gave all those farmers there crappy ass genetics.
That shit didnt make me laugh one bit, fucking dicks screwing up the gene poolI know the genotype doesn't change when a clone acclimates it's just interesting how drastic the phenotypical variation can be from one environment to the other.
