My little solo killer glue. Notice how different it looks compared to first time I grew it.
some would think that they are separate phenos because even smell slightly different. However, they are the same cut.
As they say, “ give 10 different growers the same cut, and they will all produce something totally different.
This effect is even more evident when growing from seeds.
It’s easy to say that different phenos are at play. But I’m quicker to say that individual plants react differently to the environment.
When choosing which plant to breed, I prefer to choose plants that act favorably to my environment.
But that doesn’t mean that the plant will react the same when the next, person try to grow it out.
I’m saying this because lately there have been so many post about bad genetics or about plants herming.
For instance, if you take a landrace from its natural environment, you would expect poor results. Therefore why would the expectations be any different when you remove a plant from the commercial environment and place it into the homegrown setting.
Let’s take fastbuds for example. I love them by the way. Fastbuds is located somewhere in Spain. The growers there use their own unique growing technique. Fastbuds happily ship their product out o growers in the US who are much less than commercial growers.
US home gowers are using every type of nutrients, soils and conditions, to grow plants that are indigenous to fastbuds conditions.
The strains from fastbuds, or from any other breeder, may as well be a landrace because it’s impossible to duplicate the original breeders methods and conditions. Off the top, this plant is stressed because it will take time for it get used to your growing conditions. Although we may want to, there is no reason to bash the breeder.
Just something to think about.
