So if my theory is correct then....

Even in scientific circles cannabis taxonomy has been questioned since the 1970’s . It seems Richard Evans Schultes, the man who created the original taxonomy for cannabis in the 1970s, misidentified a C. afghanica plant as a C. indica plant. That one mistake began 40 years of confusion which has only been dispelled by McPartland’s research. The mislabeling of cannabis species has led to cannabis being all the same except for sub species .

To me the “ dilution “ of strains add to confusion ... I personally never got any good “ so called IBL strains “ to play with.
The closet was Mexican Red Hair and Malawi but wasn’t really a fan of long sativas after all said and done. High leaf to calyx plants.
Smoke was good but required work to get the harvest. Best for outdoors I imagine.

So pheno hunting continues. Even those seedbanks that offer “ boutique “ land race seeds I would take with a grain of salt.
Here is a Malawi that ran just over 16 weeks , wish I planted outside probably would have been beastly. I have a few beans left in storage but prefer more timely strains.

Immature plants suck so just buy what buzz you want in the genetics.

I'm one. I currently have an ACE Oldtimers Haze that's been flowering for 18+ weeks. I'm taking it down in about a week. This photo is from the end of October. She was outside when she started flowering last summer. I had to mangle her up good to get her in the tent but she's been there since it started getting cold and rainy in October. She'll have about 20 weeks in flower when I chop. I have a bunch of landrace sativa strains I've gotten from The Real Seed Company, ACE, and Cannabiogen that I will be using to make more seeds to spread around and share with others that enjoy a good sativa.

I should get a few zips off of this OTH. Not much for the time it took but I'll have something that you'll only get if you grow it yourself. I just wish I lived in a climate where I could just let it do it's thing outside and grow 14 feet tall.

Different strains can produce different types of high, and it really seems like much of that difference probably comes down to the minor cannabinoids and the terpenes. I've dabbed lots of pure THC either as distillate or diamonds. While I love THC in many forms, I greatly prefer the high from a more full-spectrum concentrate, or from a good flower with lots of terps.

up north the days are shorter during the summer time giving a shorter flowing time.
