I dont get the point. What are you trying to accomplish? If you want autoflowering with good potency there are plenty of sativa/indica/ruderalis hybrids. If you want the ruderalis' disease resistance, once again, we have bred hybrids for the purpose. Why go pure ruderalis? It has 3x less cannabinoids than sativas by volume and has half the THC level. It also grows much smaller than sativas and indicas and yields less. the only plus sides are autoflowering, disease resistance, altidude resistance, and weather resistance. Its pretty much just hardier.

interesting fact. i know for sure that in the past, in my country , people used to grow hemp for various non-recreational purposes (rope, sacks, etc).

when you say small..are you reffering to the standard classification of 30cm-60cm tall?

i collected all the buds off of the main plant, let's call it plant A. This has the best smell, it's 1.85m tall, lots of branches and average size buds. There were about 10-15 buds (again, of average size 5 cm long, but nicely formed with lots of white trychomes).
In the same area i found another 2 plants. Plant B was shorter (about 1.60), but while the buds were considerably larger and tighter the smell wasn't as bold and nose-pleasing as plant A. But still i managed to take all the buds.
Plant C was about the same size as plant B, however the buds were smaller but the smell was really nice , very pungent. I only took 3 branches.
I placed them in a dark cool place to let them dry. I separated but individual plant. I think i've taken quite reasonable amount to try and make some hash.
After all this my hands where sticky as hell, seriously, it was like dipping my hand into some glue. If i rubbed two fingers together i would manage to form a really small ball of what i call some pretty primitive "hash".
i'll keep you guys updated. i'll post some photos if i can get hold of a camera.

if this is for me then lemme answer. i'm just trying to do an experiment. want to see if they are useful and if the hassle of harvesting it is worthwhile. i'm NOT trying to grow it (why do that when there are literally dozens of strains available on the seed market)I'm only using the plants that grow in the open fields around my home.
Plus, a gram of weed here is pretty expensive and there is a big risk for prosecution (you can get sent to court for as little as 1 gram). So wouldn't it be wonderful if you could harvest wild "ruderalis" and make hash?Without having to deal with the risk of buying from a dealer which, if caught, is gonna squeal on you?

Trust me, 
it would have been done a loooong time ago if it were any good use in the thc content.

true, but i'm also counting on the fact that the plant somehow adapted to the local conditions and became stronger.Trust me,
however, there's no harm in trying

yeah but its .8% of BS that makes the information useless without a second a source to back it up, hence its not considered a real academic source.

That .8% are articles on celebs that teen girls love to mess around with and recent news articles that had faulty information in the first place. All the scientific articles ARE backed up. Heard of citations? They even list all the sources used on the bottom. In fact, a lot of academics use wikipedia to find primary sources.

I said smaller, referring to its RELATIVE size to sativas and indicas. Im not going to argue about whats considered "small". If ruderalis could be harvested for great hash, someone would have done it. Also, they are currently trying to get hybrids of ruderalis and sativa to breed. Currently, you can't clone ruderalis hybrids, nor can ruderalis hybrids breed with each other. thats the main issue, not whether ruderalis is potent enough. Its not. end of story. If it was, we would all be growing them instead of sativas and indicas since they autoflower, grow in intense eat and cold, and have faster yield times.

yes, i was being bit unclear perhaps.
what i meant was that, perhaps we simply dont know all the ruderalis strains and the ruderalis used before in breeding (making those hybrids you mentioned (lowryder excetra)
was inferior in comparison.
i simply say that because of the OP statement about finding "large" ruderalis and very sticky with more buds.
and it was just a thought lol..
you get so confrontational over this that it seems kinda like you are either a autoseed breeder or and vendor or have some other issues that you are taking out on us
(kinda think its the latter since any good business man knows getting into fights doesnt create customers (well not the customers id want to keep anyway)

Haha i wish i was an autoseed breeder lol...i am working on a strain but its not auto. ill be giving away seeds sometime this year to see how well the strain holds in various systems.
its original purebred haze crossed with a fruity orange Colombian gold and then further crossed with a beautiful malawi (also fruity). So far im about 6 months away, but it actually might take a lot longer if im dissatisfied. The current generation has some ridiculous yields but the taste isn't quite up to par so ill have to back cross a few more times = 6 months of breeding time.
Ive been at this for 3 years now. it almost ended when I had to move, bu my friend managed to keep the mothers alive until he bred them to send me some seeds haha.
I guess sometimes my posts sound confrontational, but I dont mean to be

My friend recently made a bunch of bubble hash from some Ruderalis. Super chronic with a really nice taste actually. I don't know how much he used but he had about an ounce and a half of hash.
