La Buena Hierba The Theory of AF Origins.

Hey Stitch
so does Ruderalis actually originate in Mexico?
I've been growing Mi5 since early 2010 i think, and lowryder 2.0 > easy ryder before that. Short Stuff has been good to me, much respect stitch. Mi5 was one of the first great autos.

I'm not a huge JD fan, they didn't seem to treat mossy with much respect, and genetics were completely inconsistent from my experience at the time. I wonder if they mostly take other breeders stuff and put it under the JD name. I also doubt Nevil had anything to do with autos, maybe early flowering strains..but it seems clear to me that most major seedbanks don't get jack about autos. They see a massive demand growing but dont understand it themselves because they're in their own world. So they cross a few of their flagship strains with a Lowryder or "unknown ruderalis" (stolen from stitch? xD). They end up putting out small pathetic "auto" hybrids with long flowering time, low potency, and low production. they're thinking is "our other plants are so potent, auto's are so weak but the people want them so we'll make a couple.."


From the perspective of growing what you smoke, i realized something 3-4 years ago. Philosophy:
Autos are the future of cannabis.

95% of seed-banks are still clueless to this, and simply profit driven if they "bother" with autos.

Everyone knows how today's weed is not your parent's woodstock 4% thc weed. The past few decades have been a selective process of breeding in potency. Now because STRONG cannabis already exist in abundance, fewer people are treating cannabis breeding like they did in the 80s-90s. However a small group of breeders with a vision of the future are continuing this important breeding work with autos, which has been overlooked by most.
We know the more photo strains we breed back into the auto-flowering gene, and the more generations we stabilize the closer we get to achieving our goal. Autos have unlimited potential and everyone on this site keeps pushing the bar while proving that.

especially with the emergence of super autos, there will come a time when having a photo plant will be mostly pointless. In the future it there will be no difference between Auto OG Kush and OG KUSH, other than the photo-version taking a month or two longer to finish. It is something we see clear as day, but must manifest over time and generations.

Keeps it getting better, every year:wiz:
 
Lets not go into who stole what... stitch has been copied and so has a bunch of former growers... knowone owns" rudy"....
 
Without copying there would be no evolution. Naturally this should happen on strain improving terms, not on greed just because autos sell resulting to devolution.
 
i got the original RUDY from mexico, that a mexican friend of mine provide me.... even JOINT DOC doesn't have it....

So from now i'm the only one to get The original strain from all Lowryders roots and of course the base for SuperAutros Stitch0.1


;)

Huh that is amazing to have , so as i understand it this is a true native occurring landrace rudy from mexico???
 
oh and sorry i now that to not everybody it is ok to listen to the truth but it is life we can't be ok with everyone in this life sorry.... :)

Stitch if you dont understand what I said here PM me, as you clearly are not understanding this english.

I'm saying here to other posts NOT YOU... that YOU(stitch) have been ripped off before and lets not get into who stole what. This is a thread about evolution. Your post was way out of line.

International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) 2006

Cultivation, production, manufacture,
trafficking and abuse
389. Paraguay remains a major producer of cannabis
in South America: the total area under cannabis
cultivation in the country is estimated to be
5,500-6,000 hectares. Owing to the weak economic
situation, the high prices paid by traffickers for crops
and the lack of effective drug control programmes,
illicit cannabis production has spread to areas of the
country previously not affected by such activity. In
2004, the discovery of a new hybrid of cannabis that
had been developed by traffickers and was capable of
growing during the dry months of winter was reported
in Paraguay. The Board is concerned that year-round
cultivation of cannabis may contribute to an increase in
potential cannabis production; for that reason, the
Board urges the Government of Paraguay to implement
programmes to eliminate illicit cannabis cultivation.

I have looked for the 2004 report and the 2005 report from Paraguay. I cannot find where they talk about this “new hybrid of cannabis” so if you can find where they talk about this, please help.

here is something to ponder... emery sold millions of seeds... which got mailed everywhere in the world...

the real Mighty Mite seedline was developed by "the frenchman" of Lasquiti Island, BC... circa' 88 or 89'. it was designed to stay short and low, and finish before the helicopters. there was also a larger/later pheno that was clonable and made the rounds up and down the coast as such. High Times had an article called i believe " smokin' easy in BC " that showcased the mighty mite as well as bunch of other old BC staples of the day. In the beginning of Emery seeds, i believe he got the real seed stock, but what happened in later years is questionable at best. Emery's cohorts crossed mighty mite with everything under the sun, and sold under the mmsc heading...
i grew up on 1 of the northern gulf ( discovery ) islands, and the mighty mite stock i gave brad is from an old school growers personal stock that never left the islands. In fact, krk he has similar taste as u, he has been working a 3-way line using various combo's of Mighty Mite, Sk#1 and Hawaiian. he has been very successful with this, i've seen/smoked the plants/buds and they r kick ass and early
wink.png
. the buds finish with a silver/grey hue from the carpets of resin. this line of mm is almost totally auto, a # of them never make it past seedling stage b4 budding. males tend to show way early. females are usually a single bushy cola, i've never seen a true mm yield more than 4 zips. the smell is skunk/pine/sweet-bubblegum.
ps- the first good dope i ever grew was from seeds i got from a dreadlocked hippy at a reggae fest... Mighty Mango. the plants grew themselves, were uniform, done early and dank as fvck ! wish i still had that cross today, it was bomb. mighty mite is a very valuable breeding tool, as it imparts earliness and hardiness in outcrosses with longer flowering drug cultivars. reef re-named it Early Island Indica, years ago when he began marketing his work with it. We won the first Treating Yourself cup with Early Purple Kush ( PK x Early Island Indica/Mighty Mite ), which can be cut after a scant 45 days...

BC's Mighty Mite

About this time, on British Columbia's Gulf islands, an outdoor grower was noticing that his October finishing strain always threw out a few plants that finished much earlier ? by late July or early August. After several years of selections for this early flowering trait, the Mighty Mite strain was born.2 Mighty Mite effectively incorporated the auto-flowering trait, while retaining the habit and potency of its drug cultivar heritage.

For those in the know, Mighty Mite quickly became a popular outdoor strain for filling the traditional late summer drought in BC's pot market before the market was flooded with regular seasonal outdoor bud. Slowly, over the years, these genetics have spread further amongst underground pot growers and been used most successfully in hybridizations with more potent strains.

Aside from getting crops in before cops and other thieves can plunder them, these early plants have allowed growers to produce plants with much more commercial appeal than traditional Northern latitude outdoor marijuana.

Warm, dry summer weather with high light values allow buds to finish bright green and rock hard, making for better bag appeal. It is impossible to tell whether the many auto-flowering strains floating around all originated in the Mighty Mite family or are a result of many similar incidents, but it is certainly the most proven of all the auto-flowering strains. The fact that Mighty Mite is an inbred line and relatively true breeding for its auto-flowering trait would make it seem likely to have been a large contributor
