actually I don't lol, I explained they are not prone to herming if you read what I wrote correctly. I said the misconception is they herm more and that is because if you self, for example, a female with herm genes even recessive they will show more frequently because of the 1/2 gene. cannabis herms my point is when fems herm in an open pollinated outdoor environment it pollutes the indigenous cultivars
Bing. This expands the "library" of genotypes.
yea I think the point was it being about the money is what is ruining the diversity, by replacing 1000's of years in cultivation for a quick yield gain or buck. why is this so hard for you to follow? it is not a good thing these isolated farmers are growing modern commercial strains.
Because I have no sense of how big the stated problem is. I cannot assign quantities to the parameters involved. I am hearing you chanting as dogma ... glittering generalities that I consider unreliable. "Cultivars spanning millennia are being lost! For profit!! To big greedy seed companies!1! Who are ruining all open-pollinated grows1!!~ And contracting the gee gnome!111 Capitalism is in our weed patch and capitalism BAD!1!1!"
well I couldn't find the article again, but on business in morocco just bought 50 million fem seeds for their farm last year, I believe it was the year. i'd say that is substantial, and yet only one example in a larger trend. I believe you can also look up their hash industry figures as the one article I posted eluded to and see the increase in percentage from fem and auto farms vs photoperiod. this is also not new man, this happened in south America as well during the drug wars in the 80's and 90's. that brickweed was often "improved" with external genetics to turn a better crop and profit for the cartels. it is economics and business. greenhouse seeds is not the only culprit just the largest or one of the targets. they have been supplying that segment of the industry for decades sadly
Dude you are an idiot troll, you just troll and argue in an effort to get peoples hackles up, it's not hard to be a dick anyone can do it. You are lazy and want others to do the research for you, why don't you research peoples claims and prove them wrong instead of trolling them? As I said before Nobody on this forum is required to justify or prove any of their claims especially to you. You make it sound as though you alone can vet what others have written? By calling me a name it proves you are a troll and not nearly as smart as you think you are. If you spoke to me that way in person, which I highly doubt your are brave enough, we would sort this out pretty quickly! I am normally a civil person but I really don't like trolls.
Asking for reliable information (and I provided the basic courtesy of defining "reliable") is not trolling.
~sigh~ Welcome to vegan-organic critical thought; pick your robe up on the left and store any original ideas with the armorer.lol, God help me I luvs RIU sometimes, where's my popcorn?
Could mean they have an invasive species infesting their landrace patch? Could be bad to get Equatorial genetics mixed with Northern wild weed? Maybe not? Definitely shitty that guy refused the tribes people a royalty on future sales. They should have boiled him in a pot and had him for dinner.
So there is the true measure of your militant devotion to dogma. You hold an opinion for emotional purposes (and have refused to provide verifiable, objective reasons for those emotional judgments) and anyone who does different should be BOILED and EATEN.
All cannabis carries the hermaphrodite gene.
These guys should seriously consider posting on this thread:
I totally get that, and it's not the home doit yourselfer I am on about, it's the companies mining the pockets of the people doing anything they can to prevent you from breeding with their material. They are the ones sending the message. It's a new gold rush but with weed! I just watched a short vid not long ago on the huge influx of grows in the Humbolt / Northern Cali hills! Holy crap! Like ant hills of weed all over the mountains! cutting down reforested trees. In one area alone they circled over 600 grow sites! They didn't even circle them all! You can easily see them on Google Earth. When the rush is over, most will leave and won't reclaim the land or clean up the mess. Anyway, it's just my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I am involved with a bunch of others locally that share seed and yes even veggies!
Let me yodel to you the tragedy of landrace popcorn genetics.
