Go to Colombia. Weed is everywhere. After the zombie apocalypse is over, I plan on going to Colombia and Thailand.I'm still working to crack the code on the puzzle of cannabis.
Curious where you get your genetics from? Is there an underground seed or clone swap for high end growers that I am unaware of? I have about zero trust in buying seeds from a commercial market any more. I quite often end up with an autoflower seed in with my fem photos so I cannot really trust anything they send out. Doing my TLC testing, there is little difference between the strains I do get, which leads me to believe they are all inbred and claims of origin are dubious, or they maybe sorta get stuff mostly right but "a few orders might have gone out wrong" and sux to be me.
Even when I have sought out original breeders, I have gotten mixed, ultimately disappointing results. A lot could be in the fact that the strain has several phenotypes or is not yet genetically stable in seed form and I am just really unlucky. But man, I have bought some serious seeds. And I do know how to grow.
I tried everything with these TLC tests to coax out subtle differences and I did get them. However, the supposed high CBD ones even showed a high THC and low CBD, and the effects matched the testing. I'm running Jack the Ripper right now, supposedly the highest THCV cultivar available. Testing is on the right of the pic, no noticeable blip in THCV over all the other strains. Super frustrating when you are trying to coax medicine out of these plants and you can't get the cannabinoids you are targeting.
Lets say you were me. Money is not the object. You either want to acquire some original land race genetics and make your own, or find a place where you really get what you ordered. I suppose the latter requires a trustworthy source for clones. Where do you go?
Don't get me wrong, there are clearly differences in the many varieties we have grown. Without a doubt. But if I want a truly high THCV strain, who do I talk to? Spraying money and coins into the internet only to find out months later that the thing you were sold wasn't what was promised is probably the worst part of this hobby for me.
Thanks in advance,
Red

I hear you. I was talking about onions with my wife just yesterday.i was thinking about this problem...
there is a texas sweet onion that is a plain ole nothing special sweet onion. when you plant it in an area in Georgia it becomes a vidalia onion, with none of the eye stinging stuff. i say that to say, what if it is like that, the thcv comes out with some soil quirk. but i know nothing, just thinking
I have just started down this path too. My first fem seed test using SPS is running in my LED flower tent right now.I breed em.
I know the strains were legit, they all come from elite clones.
I needed to know what I was going to get in the rare case I needed to start from seed
Well, there have been a lot. This is an old list of some of the ones I used early on:Could you list what strains and breeders you worked with to get your mixed results?
Certain hybrids will often require pheno hunting whereas other IBLs will be more stable and will grow uniform...
What's that?I have been looking for many years and still have not found what I seek, we still have hope though:)
I maintain a true IBL Durban with easily verified dates of arrival from Africa directly. It didn’t take a trip to Holland. Tell people the price and they balk and I do not care. These are being run in OK, OR, WA and here in legal rec operations.Stay away from the commercial/money sources for seeds. You will only find what you seek with the home/grower/breeders with old genetics.
There’s a reason why we exist. If you go to a “commercial (dispensary)” you will find weed I wouldn’t even let my dog eat the leaves from.
The commercial growers are looking for fast growing strains that have been mulled over for years and years.
genetics that you seek are extremely rare.
You will have a very difficult time finding what you seek. It will take many years for this 1 genetic to surface.
I have been looking for many years and still have not found what I seek, we still have hope though:)
I hope you stay safe and dont end up on tele..'locked up abroardGo to Colombia. Weed is everywhere. After the zombie apocalypse is over, I plan on going to Colombia and Thailand.
