Designing a new strain for 2 week flowering
Hello all,
crow,zemaze, tokensmoke'. Crow firstly, thanks for some good advice, some stuff I haven't thought about a lot or at all in there!!
I've read a lot of your MMJ articles on here BTW. Good stuff. You must be dislike by the DEA lol. Their statistics and 'propoganda' war seem to ignore most of the anti cancer effects. Anyways, without getting too crazy about off-topic.
hell yeah, CBD cbd CBD! That what the future is about for people who wan't to smoke cannabis in a stable way. given that CBD is proven to be an antipsychotic and THC is proven to be a psychotic (like most mind altering drugs) one would expect a chemically syntactic approach to developing breeds of THC laden plants.
A friend of mine in the US is already actively trying to breed higher CBD to THC ratio contents in his plants(i'll ask him what breeds he is using).
Specifically to people who doubt the possibility , feasability, or viability of genetic manipulation in plants. You would have been right maybe 20 or 30 years ago technology wise. You'd also be right to mention that selective breeding WILL LIKELY TO not produce a 5 week or 4 week flowering strain, faster growing strain, or a more photosynthetically active strain.
HOWEVER this does not mean it is not encodable/possible either a) naturally or b)unnaturally. Unless I am missing some sort of physical photosynthetic constant for chlorplasts in a plant cell.
Ok, lets not get too technical - but suppose for a moment that a day to a plant was an hour or 4 hours instead of 24 hours. what effect would/could this have on the evolutionary nature of photosynthetic relatives F2, F3?
We would effectively be selectively breeding via natural selection (some plants WILL die as a result of this) - to find the genetic 'purity' of cannabis strain(s) required to create a 4x multipler cycle on the normal plants cycle.
I have postulated that, providing that 4x the light is given on that cycle, the plant should develop comparable growth to as what it would have been at 1x the light at a normal cycle (24hour based).
Thoughts, anyone?
Peace,
