Has anyone ever looked at or ran that Dr. Grinspoon strain at all???

thats a mean ass sativa dude... or at least looks like it!
 
oh,
More from marijuana botany
Equatorial Zone - (15 south latitude to 15 north latitude)

At the equator the sun is high in the sky all year long. The sun is directly overhead twice a year at the equinoxes, March 22 and September 22, as it passes to the north and then the south. The days get shortest twice a year on each equinox. As a result, the equatorial zone has two times during the year when floral induction can take place and two distinct seasons, These seasons may overlap but they are usually five to six months long and unless the weather forbids, the fields may be used twice a year. Colombia, southern India, Thailand, and Malawi all lie on the fringes of the equatorial zone between 10 and 15 latitude. It is interesting to note that few if any areas of commercial Cannabis cultivation, other than Colombia, lie within the heart of the equatorial zone. This could be because most areas along the equator or very near to it are extremely humid at lower altitudes, so it may be impossible to find a dry enough place to grow one crop of Cannabis, much less two. Wild Cannabis occurs in many equatorial areas but it is of relatively low quality for fiber or drug production. Under cultivation, however, equatorial Cannabis has great potential for drug production.

Northern and Southern Subtropical Zones - (15 to 30 north and south latitudes)

The northern subtropical zone is one of the largest Cannabis producing areas in the world, while the southern subtropical zone has little Cannabis. These areas usually have a long season from February-March through October-December in the northern hemisphere and from September-October through March-June in the southern hemisphere. A short season may also exist from December or January through March or April in the northern hemisphere, spanning from 90 to 120 days. In Hawaii, Cannabis cultivators sometimes make use of a third short season from June through September or September through December, but these short seasons actually break up the long subtropical season during which some of the world’s most potent Cannabis is grown. Southeast Asia, Hawaii, Mexico, Jamaica, Pakistan, Nepal, and India are all major Cannabis-producing areas located in the northern subtropical zone.

North and South Temperate Zones - (30 to 60 north and south latitudes)

The temperate zones have one medium to long season stretching from March-May through September-December in the northern hemisphere and from September-November through March-June in the southern hemisphere. Central China, Korea, Japan, United States, southern Europe, Morocco, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Kashmir are all in the north temperate zone. Many of these nations are producers of large amounts of fiber as well as drug Cannabis. The south temperate zone includes only the southern portions of Australia, South America, and Africa. Some Cannabis grows in all three of these areas, but none of them are well known for the cultivation of drug Cannabis.

Strains that have become adapted to their native latitude will tend to flower and mature under domestic cultivation in much the same pattern as they would in their native conditions. For example, in northern temperate areas, strains from Mexico (subtropical zone) will usually completely mature by the end of October while strains from Colombia (equatorial zone) will usually not mature until December. By understanding this, strains may be selected from latitudes similar to the area to be cultivated so that the chances of growing drug Cannabis to maturity are maximized. The short season of Hawaii, Mexico, and other subtropical areas constitutes a separate set of environmental factors (distinct from the long season) that influence genotype and favor selection of a separate short-season strain. The maturation characteristics can vary greatly between these two strains because of the length of the season and differences in response to photoperiod. For that reason, it is usually necessary to determine if Hawail and California strains have been bred specifically for either the short or long season, or if they are used indiscriminately for both seasons. Sometimes the only information available is what season the ~1 seed plant was grown. It may not be practical to grow a long-season strain from Hawaii in a temperate growing area, but a short season strain might do very well.

" My idea of a breeder is different and much more refined than your own " LMFAO
Ummmm why would anyone care what a bloke who seemingly grows one or two crappy looking plants every couple of years thinks ?
Talk about pomposity combined with a lack of ones actual place in the scale of things .The self appointed " Bob Woodward of Pot " is a joke and a not very funny one at that .
" Potsmen " LMAO . How about less cutting and pasting and some decent grow pics - reports from our own " historian " .:rolleyes:

GDay Coop , all I know is that Colombia is even more equatorial than Thailand . the equator runs through the lower southern part of the country . Cheers Mate.
 
Nuttys a good bloke

donald you only got yourself to blame, your a smart guy m8 and you got me wondering why your even engaging with them ???

to argue with an idiot online after a while its hard to tell who the real idiot is :)

i have promised shanti im gonna keep out of certain threads and im trying to be part of the solution and not part of the problem, yet you try and reason with them DM and you end up AGAIN getting dragged down with their bullshit as well, does that not tell you something m8, you cannot ever reason with them, and tbh I got more important things to be doing in real life than arguing with strangers and people i will never meet on the internet, life is to precious for all that bullshit, but it seems like the people doing all the arguing aint got that much going on in their life to be spending most of their time on here getting into it with strangers man, its fucking insane, you were doing good as well DM, dont get sucked in m8, same for every1 in this thread, start being a part of the solution and not a part of the problem, thats the real reason i have been quiet for the last few weeks, just gonna concentrate on certain threads and leave the arguing for the mentalists, tc guy and hope you all have a very merry christmas :D

Merry Xmas mate , very intelligent advice. :o

You might want to talk to reef about that... think he said it was Jerry garcia selfed. or someone else said queze was it?
 
Donald Mallard is the epitome of a Good Bloke

Nothing wrong in posting what you think mate
The lack of self awareness of some people is mind boggling. Isnt this the bloke who has had literally dozens of arguments over what people type in here . In other words people " posting what they think" ? :rolleyes:

To quote a Stranglers song " Something better change " . Its a real bummer to see someone like Donald Mallard get cyber attacked by a cupboard grower with dreams of online notoriety and a wanna be " Pot - Journalist " who evidently still lives at home with his mother and who seemingly is more interested in being an " internet identity" than actually growing weed. Last comments on this particular shitstorm by me . Cut n Paste away boys .....;)
 
sucks it isnt that good.


i dont think reef made it.

but yeah i was just tripped out on the growth pattern on it. stumbled across a pic and wondered. sorry for the sidebar!

im interested to see some rea thai pics. ive seen the OPT but thats about it.
 
Spot On Coop

I always though the nl5 was an afghan x thai, who's saying the thai in the haze hybrids comes from the haze.

I'm sure 1970s Thai was not the same as 80's thai. And I'm sure it depends on what town your in.

Very salient point Coop. I always have a small chuckle to myself when people talk about " Thai " weed as though its all the same product. Thailand is a large , incredibly diverse country geographically and in its differing climate zones . The far north of Thailand is at a latitude of 20º Latitude while the south is at 4º . Then you factor in altitude , climate patterns , the different cultures of the people who are doing the growing etc. Lastly you even have to factor in changing seed strains used in the grows.
Like all large scale commercial growers I'd guess the Thai's would be keen on faster maturing , better yielding seed strains even if the quality is down. I've been told thats what happened in Jamaica. They say old school Lambs breath type Sativas are nearly extinct in Jamaica.
I'd also imagine in North Thailand they grow plants that are faster maturing although thats an uneducated guess. Cheers Coop.
 
Dr Grinspoon is a strain fron Barney's farm seeds. A feminised strain. 100% sativa with flowering times 90 -100 days. Grows very tall. Yield is 350 g/sq mtr.
 
i'll post some pics of my thai's later when the lights on

recently collected in this area
Pai, Mae Hong Son - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

almost 8 weeks in buds looking like cereal grass still. Its gonna be a long ride thats for sure.

after looking at those thai stick pictures, my buds will be nowhere like that. lol

It takes experience and knowledge of their quirks to grow Thais under lamps

sucks it isnt that good.

Gday Jetty , its hard to imagine modern small scale indoor breeders ever replicating the best equatorial strains like Colombian , southern Mexican and Thai. The old growers were literally growing tens of thousands of plants of ONE strain and growers selected the best females to breed from . Usually utilising many male plants to ensure genetic diversity and vigor within the line. Then you factor in the fact that the product from most equatorial - highland plants has thc-v . ( I believe but may be incorrect that cannabis plants only produce thc-v in tropical strength sun ) . Cheers Mate .
 
Hi All

been away offline for a week and since I left a few people roaming to see if things would change before we did things, well they got worse.
Not sure if you read the stuff you all get involved in but it is so off the point of discussion I will freeze the thread and start action tihs week. Great work members of apparently the advanced growers site of the world? The place is set up to share not abuse fight and insult...so boring for others to wade through.

Try to think about Christmas and your families and stop talking on the forum. Outside of here things we do are compromising ....did you all get stupid last full moon? I do not wish to moderate as I do not wish to work with people problems...hence my moto `more plants less people`. I am pissed off again after elation with breeding project CBD crew so Merry Christmas all of you...the thread is closed till i deal with it.
