Where Are The Pure Sativa Strains At?!

TheLastWood said:

Climatising a plant isn't going to make its flowering time shorter. Two totally different factors.

One is judiciated by environment and the other is related to maturuty. Do you think growing a sativa in afghanistan is going to turn it into an indica?

Climatising means growing a plant outside of its natural environmental conditions generationally until ut adapts to its new environment. Factors like temperature, humidity, light intensity and duration, biological attacks.

Ever notice how clones do better in a grow room than there parents did?

Shortening a sativas flowering time would be done by breeding the shorter flowering phenotypes together over multiple generations.

Well I actually followed your other thread as well until you bitched out and started crying like a little girl cuz someone who didn't register to the site before you argued with you.

I don't see why you think my registration date is the beggining of my existance but that's just stupid.

And also, you basically confirmed what I just said anyways. Reread your own post about the part "IF YOU POLLINATED IT". So shortening your flowering time is going to be done by BREEDING SHORTER FLOWERING PHENOTYPES, and you are after showrter flowerers, so you will select for shorter flowerers undoubtedly.

Therefore your succesant generations will have a shorter flowering time, because of breeding, not climatization.

Pick the longest flowerers and see what happens dumbass.

O I joined the site n feb of 2011 so I'm pretty good at typing for a 5 month old aren't i

Where did I say climatising is no such thing?

I never said it won't happen, but the timeframe your speaking of will be past your lifetime.

Climatising means getting aplant to grow outside it natural environment, so after a half dozen generations it will be happy at its new home and flourishing.

But your talking about something totally different.

A sativa is a sativa and an indica is an indica.

You may experience a week or two shorter flowering from less stress involved in growing her so far from natural conditions,

Let me explain.

An 16 week plant grows slowly and takes 18 weeks because it is struggling due to its environment. But after its great great grandchildren get accustomed, they are flourishing and finishing in 16 weeks. It seems faster to you but it is a 16 week strain.

I was simply trying to have a discussion, I didn't mean to be rude until you got all buthurt. Nontheless I don't want to argue with you.

You seem to have a vendetta against ppls registration times. You quit this site last time because someone tried to explain genetics to you and you didn't wanna listen cuz you had been here longer.

Any shortening of flowering times beyond what I stated will be due to breeding.

Believe me or not I don't care.

and I have another point to make....

many of you are NOT outdoor growers... you don't realize how big of a difference climatization makes on the genetics of the plant... if you grow one plant one year and it doesn't finish but you pollinated it, grow those seeds next year, I guarantee you'll find a phenotype that finishes a little faster, repeat the process until you have what you're looking for.

how the fuck do you think this plant evolved to even deal with light cycles in the first place? your whole arrogance towards this makes me really question your true knowledge about cannabis as a plant and it's evolution....

I mean indoors, a plant doesn't really have the opprotunity to climatize, so if you tried to prove this to yourself from indoor breeding I'm afriad your knowledge is not sufficient enough to make any claims about what climatization can and cannot do. I don't mean to be mean here but all I was doing was looking for sativas to carry out a project, and you come in here with almost a troll-like attitude saying it isn't possible, when you don't even know for fucking sure. so for that, I say fuck off.

if the the plant didnt finish but you pollinated it? well that sounds good except for if the plant didnt finish the seeds wouldnt either. your attitude is ridiculous.you ask a question and then get all salty when someone offeres their advice and opinion?

I also don't mean to downplay the significance and adaptability of cannabis either.

Even in an indoor garden, clones from a mother plant will grow better than there mother. And that is technically the same plant. So in a single lifetime they are even adapting, I don't think its as extreme as outdoor changes would be. Since in 24 hrs outside there is more temp and rh change than ever happens indoors.

There are a handful of great looking pure sativas, but no I don't have any experience with them.

Mandala sells Mango Jamal and there is a smoke report on riu somewhere. Supposed to be 100% sativa and mandala works with pretty much only landraces.

thats never happened for me. i always have to let my plants go longer when doing a seed run. but hey if it works for you who am i to say?i agree with the suggestion of nevilles haze by mr. nice sounds like what your looking for to me. or any african strain that i have grown seems to have that racy trippy kind of buzz

Yeah I love my jack herer man. Really gives me a great up high I can go to work on.

But when I'm tired I can fall asleep if I smoke a lot of it lol.

Not a pure sativa tho.
