I have no experience with land race strains but I have 2 Thai XXL seedlings now, should I expect it to be harder then growing regular cannabis?
Just did a quick Google and thai XXL doesn’t seem to be a formally recognized cannabis strain! So depending on where you got it, it could be a pure Thai Landrace or a thai dominant hybrid. The land race you might have a tough time finishing! There are a lot of Thai varieties out there! Thai gets crossed often to try and make its flower finish within a reasonable time! And it’s structure really isn’t conducive to indoor growing!I have no experience with land race strains but I have 2 Thai XXL seedlings now, should I expect it to be harder then growing regular cannabis?
yeah I bought from seedtiva all the strains they own they made im pretty sure, not a very known website but they specialize in they're landrace strains.

You will need to check with the breeder for expected flowering times. Some of these landrace strains flower for way to long to really pop outside in most of the USA. I have seen 10 to 20 weeks so the particular strain expectations should be verified and the calendar checked to make sure your harvest date is not Dec20 or some other not realistic point of the year.
Yeah, a five month flower cycle usually doesn’t end well in ole Kintuck!yeah I bought from seedtiva all the strains they own they made im pretty sure, not a very known website but they specialize in they're landrace strains. And I'm growing outside
Doesn’t go into much specific detail! I would guess it’s been tampered with to make it more palatable for someone growing in the US! I don’t care for land race that has been tampered with by modern man!View attachment 2503517Well on the website I can't find anything on the flowering time, I hope it isn't 20 weeks
Well let me tell you. You are not going to get a 20 foot fuggin plant in 12 weeks of veg and flower. That's going to be a slow walk in the park.View attachment 2503517Well on the website I can't find anything on the flowering time, I hope it isn't 20 weeks
I don’t think you can overthink it! I think you are doing your due diligence and being realistic!Typically a landrace will just carry the name of the area where it’s from, so adding a moniker like xxl tells me that it’s probably a hybrid and isn’t a true to definition landrace. As others have mentioned the breeder should have information about flowering time, climate and plant structure. And yes most sativa or thin leaf varieties that are true landrace are going to require a prolonged flowering period. Also true landrace varieties are going to do better with an organic growing medium that may or may not be rich in minerals. It’s all dependent on how the local environment and farming practices used to produce the seeds were. I guess it helps to understand where the plant came from and what conditions it evolved from. But this is an overthought approach maybe?
im not really worried about flowering really because I'm gonna use these landraces to breed, but I wonder if the long flowering time will go into the offspringTypically a landrace will just carry the name of the area where it’s from, so adding a moniker like xxl tells me that it’s probably a hybrid and isn’t a true to definition landrace.

yeah im starting to think it isn't a 100% landraceDoesn’t go into much specific detail! I would guess it’s been tampered with to make it more palatable for someone growing in the US! I don’t care for land race that has been tampered with by modern man!
Umm I am wondering the reason for breeding an unknown unspecified outcome plant. Most breeders are hunting for something. How do you even know if the presentations that you wind up with would even be worth breeding?im not really worried about flowering really because I'm gonna use these landraces to breed, but I wonder if the long flowering time will go into the offspring
yeah it's more of a project to dip my toes into breeding. I have a lemon cherry gelato that turned out to be a male so I was thinking now could be a good time to start. But I live in Kentucky I'm pretty sure I'm the only one growing in my townUmm I am wondering the reason for breeding an unknown unspecified outcome plant. Most breeders are hunting for something.

If this is just an exercise to see if you can breed I understand but to think you can make your own seeds that people want ( including you ) it just does not work that way. Also if you are planning a natural pollination event remember that cannabis pollen can travel very far on the wind and you risk screwing everyone with a feminized plant downwind for a couple of miles

Depending on what part of KY there may be hemp farmers also.yeah it's more of a project to dip my toes into breeding.

Are you growing the lemon cherry gelato for taste or effect? I haven’t tried that particular strain but I would guess it’s probably a 7-8 finisher, which when bred with a longer finisher might split the difference?? But then again a flowering male might not have the same length of flower time than a female. These are all interesting things to consider. Makes me want to take a biology class to try and understand more about breeding plants and how recessive and dominant traits work.yeah it's more of a project to dip my toes into breeding.

And don’t confuse pollen chucking with breeding! Breeding is a lot more complicated! Anybody can pollinate a bud! But good luck with it!yeah it's more of a project to dip my toes into breeding.

you have to try lemon cherry gelato man, I'm growing it for both taste and effect. The taste and smell of it is so good, and the high gives u a uplifting wanna talk to everyone type effect. Definitely my favorite strainAre you growing the lemon cherry gelato for taste or effect?

yeah our first dispensary opens up soon I believe, Kentucky will be legal within the next few years id betDepending on what part of KY there may be hemp farmers also.
Good luck. I am glad to see KY has at least got a medical pot program.
