Ah ok i know the plants grow towards the light source but i didn't now it fell under the term plasticity. So the same plant grown and cloned for generations in different locations until the individual plants are different - is that plasticity or genetic drift?
The strain that we used to grow, it was all we ever grew was a local clone only called "G".We had it for years, i guess it was what would be called a road kill skunk i think. Nothing has ever matched her for yield. Wasn't top shelf by todays standards. After years it lost a bit of vigour and became hard to clone so we put it in a plant pot on a balcony for a whole summer. We heard that helps refresh a strain, probably a load of bollocks but we thought we would try it out. When we brought it back in and flowered it it was hugely different. different terps, different structure and prone to bud rot but it had the vigour again. You would not have known it was the same plant, weird huh?

We had 1 called viking it was a nl x big bud that some guy from Yorkshire made similar kinda scinario started losing vigour and it got put on the side of the train track off 1 of pals to do or die kinda thing but when my cousin got out of jail that's all he wanted so he took a snip off the 1 at the train track and all the cuts that came off that was puka I wouldn't say it was as good as it was before but it Defo wasn't as bad as it was before it got stuck out side for a few month

When i rotate my plants on the daily basis i always turn em so the sode of the plant that was closest to the light is then the farthest. Its cool watchin em turn in towards the light. Its called "phototropism".
I dont believe in genetic drift. Ppl say after so long of takin cuts of cuts that it starts to loose vigor and im not buyin it. I think what happens is ppl either have unrecognized problems or are takin clones off less than perfectly healthy moms. Ive have my g13 for 15yrs and keep doin better n better w

Yea,26/27 yrs, i hit her with an nl5 male and found some nice old nl plants in the dozen i tried,some were similar to mum but were a tad more vigorous and smelled quite strong,,so its possible it was more vigorous before i got her,but shes not slow by any means,uz guys are welcome to try her!76
