hemp cross breed

[dosse posse]

Hi guys,
I had a random idea the other day,i wondered if it is possible to breed standard hemp with marjuana (either auto or photo's) which i know would result in a significantly weaker end product,but if this was possible you could cross it back to decent mj,and maybe this would result in a very hardy plant resistent to many of the things that nature may throw at it in northern latitudes,just a thought,so please dont be annoyed by my ignorance,let me know your opinions,many thanks in advance:stylez rasta smoke::dance::stylez rasta smoke:

I read somewhere, it took Lowrider ten years to get from Hemp to something stronger, Lowrider #2. There is a lot more breeding, back crossing, and selecting that needs to be done before you'd have anything consistently worth smoking. I believe Evol was trying to make his own auto base.

Not a good idea...Torch is spot on. Unless you have a lot of time to spend and want to basically waste a large space to grow very low grade bud its not worth it. My "ruderalis" didn't even auto but I decided to try crossing it anyway. It seems that that most undesirable traits of the strain are also the most dominant. Needless to say I gave up on that plan.

I have a post somewhere about autos and the cold. I'll post a link if I find it.
Here ya go

This is actually something I know a little about, I did this for 3 years in Kansas.Kansas "K-pot" is wild cannabis that came from 19th century hemp growers and is now feral. It's known for not giving you a head ache but also a very fleeting buzz(10 mins if you picked the right plant)being very seedy but sometimes you find a female that for what ever reason didn't get fully pollenated(wind/location)look nice with tons of non-active trichomes with impossible to exterminate hardyness. At that time(mid 90's)in northeastern Kansas the majority of commercial smoke available was coming from Mexico or the "deep" south it was a real treat to get some Cali "kind". So being the agricultural criminal mastermind(no really that would be Monsanto) that I was came up with a method of slowly turning hemp into some righteous ganja.
1.pick out an isolated hemp patch in the boonies
2.save all commercial "bag"seeds possible
3.sprout seeds and plant in patch or if you have enough just toss out in late fall/near end winter
4.visit the patch to weed out the hempy males(take a subtle eye)and leave the"good" ones.
5.repeat steps 1 through 4 for as many years as you can, 7-14

I followed this for 3 years with a few buddies before I was politely run out of Kansas by a US marshal for an unrelated issue. It was working and the smoke was becoming more potent,so yeah it works and I hope my friends kept up the experiment although I was the major driving force behind it.The original idea came to me because there is so much hemp in Kansas that its almost impossible to get sinsemilla outdoors and I was getting pissed..

Its all over Nebraska and east Colorado too. I have a feeling that its early or auto flower. I'll find out soon.

It can take the cold, some strains take it better then others. Driving out to Nebraska from Colorado a few weeks ago I got to see it all again. Driving down the road it is all over the place. What you will see this time of year is the purple or blue going on from the cold nights. It seems to take it well.

Evol thats a great thread man.

Now hemp is not thc active, but is it cbd active? High thc =low cbd......high cbd =low thc. Europeans used to use just hemp not sative or indica. I would theorize it has higher cbd's. Maybe some breeders could look to hemp for more cbd medical grade bud. Just a theory. Would love some real feed back. Thanks.

I've noticed a lot of genetic variance in the feral hemp I've seen in north east Kansas, some very early flowering squat Indica like growth some super tall sativa like and everything inbetween. I think I remember reading something about George Washington writing in his diary about being thrilled that he received a new hemp from India,aren't all strains from India "active" more or less?and we all know the tales of what Washington preferred in his pipe. It stands to reason that if it was available then it was grown,wether or not any of that has truth lots of hemp was and still grows. I knew nothing of what CBD was back then,now that I am familiar with its effect I can say that was the "buzz" I was describing,probably along with some of the other lesser understood cannabinoids. Edit---
It's also worth mentioning that Chinese imagrants in the 1850s also brought cannabis to add to the genetic pool.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the higher cbd strains. They don't want to share their genetic lines or the knowledge.

I have seen this variance too. If you go look at them and smell them, you will see it in leaf structure and smell.
So wonderful too see. I have a link here of me strain hunting them.

You are dead on when it comes to the look and growth. For the most part I see the Sativa. Look at the leaf, the growth of some small, some tall, some this, some that, has to do with water I think.
Early flower your dead on man. Seeing ready seeds in late Aug and early Sept is nuts. I am lead to believe that the seeds are not as good from the early stuff. But that could be just my luck too.

Has to be.
