yes but as pointless as it is we can still talk about it.
See I think that even whereas most thc is in the glands of the buds like you said, There is small TRACE smounts of thc in the rest of the plant material. Although not flowing like a maple trees sap, there is some locked deep down in there. Thats why we have so many noobies users smoking fan leaves and male stalks, Because they do catch a small buzz from the thc in there.

I HIGHLY doubt they got rid of all the marijuana... i mean its very hard to distinguish it from hemp espically for someone who doesnt know alot about cannabis plants. I think there is still ALOT of marijuana left that they didnt get.

I should rephrase, because I think we are actually kind of agreeing on this one. What I was trying to say is that while it is true that the resin glands are found in the highest concentration on calyxes, they can be found in lower concentrations on other parts of the plant (god we are talking nuts and bolts here, lol) and are invisible to the naked eye. It was a mis-statement when I said 'Only', I really meant 'only in high concentrations' on or around flowers. The leaves that stick out on buds are often covered with THC if its chronic, like the picture Greenhouse seeds uses for thier "White Widow." So leaves do have these glands, most are just too small to see or produce trichomes. Even fan leaves or male plants have these resin glands (I made great brownies with a male once, had to use 2 pounds of dried leaves for the cannibutter, but it got me high as fuck. There is actually one kind of cannabis originating from china (cannabis Chinensis) that grows a single calyx at the base of each fan leaf, where the leaves all meet. These plants have a higher concentration of resin glands in thier fan leaves than normal plants because of this calyx. At the base of these fan leaves, Trichomes can be found.

When you get down to it, I think we are actually trying to say the same thing. I'm saying that the THC is just in the glands, which are distributed throughout the plant and are more concentrated in some places than others, while you are saying that you think that THC is distributed throughout the plant. Either way, it is distributed throughout the plant... so we are both right, lol. I think we are saying a similar thing in 2 different ways. I honestly thought that you thought THC ran like sap through the plant, so I'm glad you cleared that one up as well, lol.

No mate, yOu understand what you are talking about right, and so do I, I thought you may be misunderstanding it as you thought I was. lol

Oh... fuck, that's pretty funny. I gotta throw some +rep for this hilarious turn of events. also... mate? You from down under? I bet theres some interesting genetics down there that don't get as spread around as much as some genetics from more centralized places. Maybe even landrace shit waiting to be found! Anyway, Cheers for this round, mate!

umm i think your wrong, but i could be too,

lowryder is a cross of thr ruderals and santa maria strains.
and hemp and weed are the same thing?? just hemp has under 1% thc

ha ha no im not in australia, Im from the us.
and there are landrace strains to be found here, you just have to look

ruderalisis is hemp man

hehe, you are quite right. The guy who started this thread has some landrace hemp in his own backyard! If I lived anywhere near the South, I would totally be searching for landrace genetics. I think thats about the only place in the US where it grows completely feral. If you know of any places near the Northwest United States that might have some landrace strains. Being a 3rd generation grower, I think my grandma would have told me about any if she knew, but you never know .

Yeah, no shit. I did wan't to talk about something related to this though, that may be the root of the problem of people's mistaken ideas about the ruderalis. I have read that the definition of Ruderalis is something like this: Any variety of hemp that has gone feral and become a wild, landrace variety. So that means that even the hemp that the person posting this thread asked about could be considered Ruderalis. Basically what I'm getting at is that not all Ruderalis plants posess the ability to auto-flower. I guess if you have access to a wild Hemp feild, check it to see if any of your Ruderalis have the auto-flowering trait. It is my understanding that both a Mexican Ruderalis and an Eastern European Ruderalis have been found to posess the auto-flowering ability. I guess that potentially means that the trait may be a latent submissive trait in many varieties of hemp, and could potentially be found in other populations of Hemp all over the world.

Also, remember that while all Hemp may not be Ruderalis, all Ruderalis is Hemp. That means that if you have some auto-Ruderalis and want to make it any good, you are going to have to take several steps. First the auto trait will need to be stabilized within it's own population. In some cases, nature has already taken this step for us. After you have a stabilized auto-flowering Ruderalis, you will need to start crossing it with more potent varieties of marijuana. These will then need to be inbred within the new F1 generation in order to stabilize the trait once again. It may be necessary to backcross to either the auto or the non-auto parent, if you started to lose the auto trait or potency, respectively. It will take quite a few years, but may well be worth the effort. That being said, I will know in about a month and 3 weeks how good this stuff can be when people have taken the time to cross and stabilize Ruderalis with good Cannabis (thanks Lowryder and Lowlife!). I know you already knew all this, Kochab, it's for the others, mainly the guy who started this thread, wherever he is... Also at the guy who didn't know ruderalis was hemp,lol.

weedfarmer, you should definately breed some good bud into that field, it's the perfect cover, plant a bunch of good plants like every ten feet, do that every year and in a few years you'll, have some middies, keep putting good plants in the field and eventually you'll have a field of dank-ass bud

Honestly..... That sounds like alot of work. Why not just grow regular weed somewhere else, or cut down the hemp feild. Growing hemp isn't legal everywhere, and even in those places where it is, you usually have to get some kind of tax stamp or liscense like people do for medicinal marijuana, only its for farming hemp instead. Personally, it will attract just as much attention wether its hemp or pot. I saw get some heirloom hemp seeds, then cut the feild down if you plan on growing weed there. Otherwise, I'd just leave it alone, or look within your population and see if you have any autoflowering characteristics. then you might have something fun to do for a few years.
