Let's talk about ditch weed

sativa and indica, and ruderalis, are different types that have evolved to fit their environments. trying to spread an indica heavy strain into a hot dry area wouldn't go over so well. trying to grow a sativa high in the mountains or in a very damp area causes a lot of problems.
ruderalis evolved to take advantage of its very short propagation window in it's native environment.
you take any of them out of the type of environment that they evolved to fit, and force them into another environment, and they won't like it, and will start to adapt themselves to their new environment. you'll be able to see significant changes within 4 or 5 generations, by the 20th generation, they'll start to look and behave more like the native strains

It's not exactly hard and fast.
Sometimes they can exhibit qualities that are normally associated with the other types depending on environmental conditions.
I saw many of my sativas I grew over winter starting off with fatter leaves to deal with the humidity but end off being typical sativa as spring comes in.

Does ruderalis beat out indica and sativa for turf if they all grow at the same place? From my understanding, Sativa is that tallest so it would get the most sun and coverkill the shorter ones.

Why don't we spread sativa and indica all over the world? Then it would be like making something that's all over the place illegal...Like making clouds illegal.

In Australia, a cannabis called the Australian bastard cannabis goes unnoticed. The specific mutation of the leaves developed as an adaptation to the extreme conditions in which it lives. dry desert where at night the temperature can drop below freezing. Last summer, I planted ABC seeds in dry soil along sidewalks and paths, and unnoticed produced a quantum of seeds. Next season I will sow F2 seeds ABC x day neutral ditchweed which I create in winter. ABC can create drought-tolerant vegetation along rivers and in rocky areas. I also plan to create some vegetation that will be bred from potent Nepali ancestorsI and try to establish a population on the dry bank of the river. The photo of the ABC is from Hybritech. Can put mine here too. I think that if you don't have a significant potent Subterfuge / Autobastard, then you can grow ABC in the square without being noticed :p

I still have to say that we in Europe lack ditchweed. I love when cannabis can grow somewhere independent of human whims and laws.. I thought I'd try to establish a feral weed population. The seeds of wild plants 'Kurgan', 'Tatarstan', 'Siberian', and perhaps the hymalan highlands 'Kaghan' (therealseedcompany) and others would be most suitable for this. If these plants could cross freely, there would be a high chance that the offspring would be extremely variable and a certain type of offspring would adapt to the local climate and become the basis of the future ditchweed population in my area. Variability ensures that there is no risk of degeneration due to inbreeding.

In my neck of the woods in East Ky we were a huge Hemp growing state during WWI-II, and the plant can still be found growing in the wild. Good for nothing but a headache. HUGE plants too. 15 feet some of them.

The thing with wild populations is they almost always revert to low/no-thc if left to grow freely without human intervention. Think about how natural selection works...plants just want to survive long enough to reproduce. The huge, dense nugs that mold easily dont survive long enough to make seed, the loose airy flowers survive longer and over generations you end up with larfy female hemp plants and males that are very effective at spreading their pollen.

True, but I have a feeling that countries that have their own independent weed are happier (despite the inconvenience of pollen :grin::grin: ).

I’d attribute the lack of weed on roadsides to the rise of American sinsemilla. The days of weed seeds getting tossed out the truck window are gone forever. Hallelujah, Amen!
