I know some will scoff, and mock, but pay them no mind, for this is he best way to grow weed that you are all being led away from.
I will first start with saying that the indicas are narcotic and put you down. Most prefer this feeling to the inspirational, thought provoking and soaring highs that sativas offer
Marijuana in its truest essence is in the unadulterated sativa.
You have all been breeding for large, tight dense nuggets. But trichomes don't form as well inside these dense nugs and give more plant matter than actual psychoactive material. Anyone who knows what they are talking about - will tell you the most intense highs they have ever had were from loose buds not dense ones. Hybrids with airy buds and each calyx covered in trichomes is what should be bred to create the most potent weed.
Now taking that a step further - the most potent weed will not form on the buds, but on the leaves.
Leaves grow faster than buds and are exposed to far more sunlight for a longer period than buds which is known to increase potency. They also have a large flat surface area for trichomes to form unhindered. They also grow faster and in more abundance in buds with less and cheaper fertilizer.
But I can't even see the trichomes on the leaf you say - well thats because humanities selective breeding for thousands of years have preferred more vibrant, terpene filled and fragrant buds. Had they selected for leaves instead for whatever reason, I can just about guarantee you we'd have plants with frosty white leaves and mediocre buds by now (ofc the grail would be both spectacular buds and leaves covered in trichs that's a long way off imo).
So this thread is a long term breeding project where I will be breeding specifically for leaf Trichome, terpene and overall resin production.
I have made this thread, in part, to share my knowledge with the community and also to gain it.
Have any here noticed plants that produce particularly sparkly leaves?
