New medical grower small and legal. My questions are about the altitude that the seeds were bread at. Does it have any bearing on growth of plants grown at over 6000 feet. or higher max is 7700 for me. I have read that clones will acclimate with each seceding generation of the same mother, is this true? I would like to find a plant that approximates the 60-70's nepalese hash plant (yep another old hippy with the same memory). But nothing I have tried in the last year (just started using again after 25 years) has any semblance of the psychedelic aspects of the the old hash. Was just musing on wither a high altitude plant grown at a high altitude would be different than one grown at sea level for a few generations.
High altude seeds? or strains

Hi
well altitude usually means a higher level of ultra violet light , thinner amount of oxygen in the air, and can make the resin glands more thicker to protect the plant...of course not in every case but in general.
My work in the mountains of northern India and Nepal some years back was fascinating. It seemed different slopes facing different directions towards the sun and away ,but in a 10km radius made a big effect on the hash that was being produced.Of course most of the time we rubbed Charas from living plants and for me it was the champagnes of the hashish world. I believe my photo of something I won a cup for when in Holland was borrowed by Rob Clarke for his book on Hashish. The technique takes years to get really down pat but basically we use to rub the plants in the heat of the day and clean away the green leaves and pistils to make cream charas. The principle is simple since resin is not soluble with water so as it heats up it sticks to other resin glands and the longer you rub the more resin begins to ball up and coat your fingers. Considering the green part of the plants all contain small amount of water they do not mix in to the resin ball so freely therefore cleaning them off the hands and keeping it all warm you end up with a very impressive 10 grams in a long days work.
But to get back to the point the strains mostly used are long spindly sativas which would explain the trippy psychadelic effect the hash produces in those parts ofthe world. If SSH, NH or Mango was made into a hash like this you would get a trippy piece of hash...and one I would like to burn with you.
Good luck in what and how you do it but those would be the strains you are looking to grow in altitude for that affect.All the best Sb

hi Shanti
thanks for sharing your experience mate.
I know you have a lot on your plate already but if you haven't already done tests it would be nice to see you do some research work sometime on the effect of UV on cannabis effect's from sun and artificial light sources. for example like test known clones from your lines in different altitudes with all else being constant , like medium , sunlight exposure etc and measure the differences .

A German Tester - Great Altitude Article
I Have An Article Somewhere In Regards To A Breeder Named Felix Who Did A Comparison Test Using The Same Strain , But At Different Altitudes
It's A Great Read , And Mentions Something About Higher C02 levels At Higher Altitudes
I'll Insert Link For You To Read When I Can Find It

That would be Felix Kautz from Ticino in Switzerland...I know him well and he is quite an eccentric fighter for the plant.Has a seed company called Owl Productions I believe. Yes we have the same lawyer so I hear about him from time to time.Probably see him at the Swiss show in Basel on May 1st...
But UV makes a very big difference on the same clone...that is foresure.
All the best Sb
