Yes it is, but i'm more of the guy thats hear to post what i know not prove whats been done; if yah want proof research it yourself and you'll find the answers, and i haven't done it with a rock but a metal stake, many advanced veganic growers use this method to increase yield and potency slightly, there are forum already on this topic on several cannabis boards, try it out sometime, you won't be disappointed.......take it easy
1 yes they are all still around..in there place of origin. And anumber of vendors as well.
2 I think you could recreate most of the flavors and highs from long worked varieties. Time, luck and numbers is what it would take.
I have a few, not enough, the effects in some, are mellow. While others are devestating and could hold their own in todays heavily worked varieties. I will in the near future obtain most of the available sat. From as many different vendors as possible. Then the work begins in making f generations while selecting for superior individuals. That will not be in the near future
Great luck to you bud.
Peace
yah I know what ya mean, i would say it works on all plants but some respond better than others, also i only have experience doing this to from seed plants rather than clones, I think it is effective on clones too but at the same time it might stress the poor f-20 somethin girls a bit too much......In regard to the veganic yah i know, doesn't have much to do with it, i am an veganic/organic grower and simply stated that b/c I have never seen commercial or even small scale suburban guys using this technique i've only found organic and veganic guys that grow trees using this and even then thats still pretty limited; people like their sythetics and indoor, i run indor too but don't use the stake technique on them, i'll try it on 1 girl in 2 weeks and see what happens........anyways hope this clarified.....take it easy guysstressing the plant like this only works on some strains.
not sure what has to do with veganic but will take your word on not being weaksauce iye
Cap, which ones does it work on? (need a list so i can scrutinize):pompus:
Idk about that. I have marijuana books from the 70s in which theu tested marijuana for thc and cbd profiles. They tested for several different cannibinoids. Tests clearly showed mj of the time could hardly achieve 10% thc. Selective breeding through the years has undoubtedly bolstered thc percentages. This isn't really even debatable as far as I know.
Just think how many screwdrivers those Afghans must go through a year to stab and leave one in every plant. LOL :rolleyes:
Something else I heard in the "old days"...true or not...is that another widespread practice in many marijuana/hash producing countries is that of "girdling" the plant in the field. This is where the outer skin/bark of the plant near ground level is removed....causing stress and a slow loss of moisture that allows the plant to expire at a slow pace and be semi-dried in the field rather than cutting it wet and hauling/hanging it back up somewhere else. (less labor, slower initial "cure") It's the same principal in action with the pine beetles all over the West where the beetle pierces enough holes in the trunk of the tree that the sap starts to drain out and in turn, the tree dies slowly over a period of time from a lack of moisture/stress.
Supposedly this process gave a lot of the weed we saw back then the red/brown/gold colors....but hey.... who really knows? If it was good shit...we sure never questioned any of it...we just asked immediately where we could get more before it was gone....
That's a sweet list homebrew. I'm hoping to snatch up a few of those strains maybe this next spring. I want to get a bit better at growing first and get a better living/growing situation before I start my own breeding projects. How much breeding have u done with your older strains? If so, do u find it easier to stabilize than modern strains? That's really what I'm hoping for.Healthy plants to the end is gonna be best....maybe. were there particular landrace you were lookong for?
Got:
Malawi
Mazar-i-sharif
Panama
Caribbean/Jamaican, TheTruth
Pakistani, pck and x-18
And plan to obtain more. Also have the DeePak, Deep Chunk x PCK. Hybrid made late last year.
Peace
