That is a stunner Kanga.
I think it is no coincidence that one of the very finest cultivars of cannabis (Highland Oaxacan Gold) comes from the same place where horticulture and plant breeding first developed to an advanced level. There are no large mammals native to the southern Pacific uplands of Mexico, no sheep, no cows, they didn't have the horse, buffalo/bullock, chicken or pig either, but they did have excellent soil, a greenhouse climate and a few native plants with potential. One of the was a wild grass called Teosinte and from that they bred Maize (Corn) and it became their staple crop.
Now, given that the Mexican Indians had plant breeding skills and advanced horticulture, it is a small step to envisage them growing the hemp introduced by the Spanish and over 3-400 years they created Highland Oaxacan Gold which is the biggest yielding traditional cultivar by far, DJ Short mentions it being the biggest yielding traditional line and in my experience, it outyields modern varieties indoors but with longer flowering time.
They took Teosinte which grew tiny, almost inedible kernels and bred Maize with grows huge very edible ears of kernels.
They took Spanish hemp which grew almost unsmokeable flowers and lots of fibre and bred Highland Oaxacan Gold which grows huge very smokeable flowers.
Other regions of Mexico also had advanced horticulture and bred their own cannabis breeds, Sam the Skunkman and others try to tell everyone it all began in California in the 60s and 70s but without the input of genes from Mexico, those hippies would have had to start from scratch. We don't give enough credit to the Mexicans, they were breeding cannabis into all kinds of distinct lines centuries before California was even a State of the US. I know people associate Mexican weed with shitty brick these days, but that is purely the fault of the US govt, before the war on drugs began in the 70s, Mexican weed was superb, there were countless distinct and special cultivars - Zacatecas Purple from a remote high valley near Aguascalientes, Guerran Green from the Gulf Coast, the Acapulco/Oaxacan Golds of the Southern Pacific Sierra Madre, the related Michoacan Brown Spears from a little further north in the Sierra Madres and the crazy Sonoran desert weed that made the Yaqui Indians fierce warriors for Pancho Villa.
All the great Mexican genes of the past would still survive if the US hadn't sponsored the Paraquat spraying of pretty much the whole of Mexico in the late 70s. By 1980, the Mexicans had nothing left pretty much, we know they had lost almost everything because of the infamous DEA case where they caught the largest drug kingpin in Mexico who had been importing growers and seeds from California to setup big grows in Sonora in the NW.
I'm pretty sure California has yet to produce anything as good as the best that the Mexicans were enjoying for centuries.
