I want to experiment! WARNING this might be the dumbest thing you ever read!

Hey buddy,

Is not a dumb idea at all, maybe crazy, near impossible and for sure hard and long work. But something always has to start somewhere, and some of the best discoverys start as one persons crazy idea, so i say go for it maybe you succeed, maybe you dont but until you try you will never know.

Ideas and innovation are how the future is sculpted, so have fun and keep using your mind and who knows maybe one day you will make it, and as said before if all fails you will still gain the knowledge and be able to smoke up any failures.

I watched a documentary recently about gene splicing. The scientist added a gene from a spider to a goat embryo. The goat kept all genes and inherited a gene from the spider.
The result was, they could treat the goats milk to set as silk.

So the possibilities are endless with gene splicing but unknown side effects could happen if consumed. Also gene splicing requires very special skills in a controlled environment....so that rules most of out to even try.

Well I'll sure as hell start trying this, especially with that new cannabis species found in australia that is supposed to be able to grow in very cold environments gave me hope that this might very-well be possible.

Hey guys!

I'm going to start off by saying if you are easily annoyed by idiots push backspace right now!

I was thinking in january I will have done my first grow. (and start my second)
Thing is I want to stay an indoor grower. (I don't want to start stinking up my garden for my neighbours to smell that delicious odor)

BUT I do want to start breeding experiments in my garden, then my first question would ofcourse be how bad does breeding smell?
By which I mean since I would be pollinating the mother plant and she won't be flowering as much as a grow to smoke?

Second thing is I want to go a completely different way in breeding cannabis then is normally done right now.
As probably 99.9% of this forum knows cannabis is the future in many ways.
Yet I see a lot of people breeding according to getting big, high yield, potent, etc.. plants
All in all a very (I think) narrow minded way of growing/breeding for a plant capable of so many variation.

NO that's not what I want to start doing basically I want to give birth to a completely new strain of cannabis.
One more robust then an autoflower. Maybe one that doesn't need a lot of light, one that can survive in extremely cold temperatures, maybe even live through winters with lots of snow, one that survives for years and maybe even be harvested like a tree with cannabis as a fruit? (probably cutting of it's branches so that it will regrow new one's with new buds)
This would be a plant where I wouldn't care the slightest bit about potency nor yield.

Why? Because I believe if I can achieve such a thing and would be able to breed that with regular kinds of cannabis (like how autoflowers were created) and slowly start upping the potency of those plants... Do I even have to explain at this point?

I know either somebody is already doing this or I'm a mad man.
It's just this idea I have. Don't shoot me for having ideas please! (well I warned you at the start)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO anyone think I might succeed? I don't care if it would take YEARS or maybe even my entire life. If this could work.. the possibilities would be endless!

Ruderalis grows in Russia, as well as other countries, and fairly far to the north at that. I'd look for landrace strains that already grow in cooler/cold climates. Several Canadian growers have already begun this work, and have some pretty hardy strains.

Might also find it useful to look into some low light strains, BCGA breed some strains that fall into this category , maybe some kind of cross of a cold resistant strain with something low light may take you in the direction you are looking.
