Honestly its become retarded to try and get a point across in here and that is that cheese sk1 is commercial cannabis and nothing more.
spiritualyEnhanced i have the g13/sk from 2002 test seed and the only reason i know this is fact i research all lines i grow the g13 lines Neville did release back then was the nlxg13 and hpxg13 and hzxg13.
bigwity i know from lots of people as there friends and have smoked my harvests and sampled lots in the dam from the mid 80s to resent times one mate even smuggled back 7 or 9 oz of the dams best hash and LSD the hash was ok nothing special we had better here coming out of Asia at the time.
champa Spain is a large place so you dont know what is being grown in every part of Spain or Europe Albanian gangs from what i am told do a lot of commercial grows mate not like there country's not third world or full of corruption mate and why would there other crops be affected Thais i have grown have never Hermie once the plants were sexed as females or males the only time i ever sore hermaphrodites in Thais or any sativa lines were at sexing.
I my self believe that lines of old are still being grown in these places as they are still here to but there not being grown in the numbers they were once or by the number of people they were once and that's fact.
When your talking commercial grows and exports that is a very different ball game i am not a commercial grower or ever have been i grow for my personal but to grow commercial numbers you need lots of plants so are you telling me that there are farmers in Thailand that are growing 1000s and 1000s of plants for over seas markets i dont think they are if they were i would of seen it and it would be here as commercial cannabis to as the commercial market here has a large Asian gang aspect to it as it did in Canada.
And ow markets are a lot closer than what Europe's market is you want to know who has the largest market look no further than the US and Thia or old school columbine cannabis would be snapped up real fast both there and here if it was available as you say.
Internal markets is very very different to export markets.
hempy,
i have tried to be as clear and concise with my posting, i even gave you examples of your Thai, Colombian, Jamaican being regarded as commercial weeds, selling for cheap commercial prices and still being grown in their country of origin, i gave you a clear example of why European growers would not grow Thai weed, it sells too cheaply on the menu's in Amsterdam and commercial growers aren't stupid, why do you think they are growing weed hempy? its for money mate, so you think a commercial grower will turn his nose up at 100,000 euro for half the flowering times that it would take for a crop that he could sell for 20,000 euro, never in a million years and you're clutching at straws,
bush weed is seeded, that how you got it hempy, otherwise you'd have no seed to work with, so the lines either self seed or cross pollinate without selection, for an outdoor grower in Europe that is the last thing you'd want, especially if you are growing other varieties as many others do, every example of bushweed on the menu's in dam is seeded, if you buy bushweed in the country of origin it will be seeded, i've friends that have been in Thailand for decades, i've lived there myself, sometimes there's more seeds than others but the commercial weed is always seeded
see what you base a lot of you assumptions on is third hand knowledge hempy, i've been to these regions, i've witnessed it myself, i'm explaining with clear logic as to why what you are suggesting is highly unlikely and improbable but you still fail to acknowledge it, Spain is a large country hempy, but the area i stayed in is one of the most prominent canna areas with some of the best farmers in Spain with some of the best growing conditions and open spaces, a lot of Spain isn't like that
commercial grows are still happening in big numbers hempy, you don't know about them that's all, if you did they'd get bust and that's probably the only time you do hear about them
you have got all defensive with the possible connection between you and a commercial grower, why is that hempy? you don't care who you label as a commercial grower, it seems to be anyone that grows 4 plants of sk#1 or cheese is a commercial grower in your eyes and that's the point i've been trying to make to you, you are offensive with your generalizations and there's no need mate, you don't like it being implied that you are a commercial grower just because you grow a certain strain so why not treat others as you wish to be treated and stop with the generalizations, assumptions and accusations
global markets are still working hempy, things are more difficult with customs but they are still working, a lot of the bush weed that used to hit the uk and other parts isn't as in demand anymore, if a young smoker/grower had the choice between a bag of unseeded white widow or some seeded bush import they would take the unseeded bud 9/10 therefore the weed goes to other shores, you'll find a lot of it is split up and arrives on the islands in the med among other countries, it's easier to sell to tourist holiday makers than it is to sell to locals...again this weed isn't grown in Europe, commercial growers wouldn't waste time growing bushweed when they can grow quicker varieties for bigger profits
