Lady Vapor Reviewed by Lady Vapor on 06-06-2006. Lady Vapor 3rd. Times a Charm It has been said the third time is the charm. For me this is becoming true. I'm reveging four from my second grow(my best one is 5 1/2' tall). Eleven new strain of Indica/Sativa that are extreemly hearty. Then to fill up the space about 8 small Sativas in hard to reach places. These have been growing since the 1st. of the year and will go to 12 hr. light in a week. In order to water, etc. I have to move two pots to make an isle for a crawl space. One of my favorite things to do is sit in Rating: 5

just curious lady v .this ruderalis strain is it not a wild strain that grows in russia some were and it has been introduced to some strians for its disease resistance and auto flowering trates.i never knew that if you crossed 2 strains and before the strain becomes stable it is known as a ruderalis.could you explian some more please.wicked looking plants by the way.intresting strains.i am also revegging a jamaican strian and 1 white russian that i have just harvested they were thebest 2 of the bunch.Any ideas to help me along as i know you have been down this road.the postman

Howdy postmandave,

This gets a bit confusing, I posted this in another thread that you commented on. The way I understand it - and I could be wrong. This is the second grow where I have crossed to different strains - One is Sativa - Red Hair, the other is from a seed I got from a friend a year ago. The seed was found in some real good herb from a medical supply store. I believe it's of the India strain. Once they were crossed the offspring can grow normal (6 of 8 grew nomal this time and two did the weird thing I understand to be a plant that went the ruderalis way. This also happened to one of 3 I grew in the first grow using these seeds.). The ones that are growing weird buds are producing less bud then normal, but the herb itself gave me a good buzz at 8 weeks of flowering. I'm going to keep growing them till I after I harvest the normal plants unless the weird ones trichomes turn amber before then.

I reworded this info from "The Cannibis Grow Bible" and am including pics showing how a Runderalis plant can look - Four of my 12 ladies are Runderalis plants. They just keep growing, so I topped them to keep them in the light. There are trichs on the leaves and will be good in a vaporizer, but I don't think they would make good tasting herb. Except the parts of the plant that have great buds going.
A hybrid is the offspring of two different strains. A strain is just a stock line with common parents. Stable strains have stable genetics traits, which means that the offspring will all be quite similar. In fact, most strains are called strains because of their uniformity in growth and less variations in the offspring. Hybrids tend to be unstable, or genetically unpredictable, because of their â??newnessâ??. A good stabilized hybrid eventually becomes a strain.

Most unstable hybrids do not find their way into the market and are found only among breeders who are experimenting with plant genetics. Seed producers tend to only produce strains in the following categories:

Pure Sativa (pure species)
Sativa (mostly Sativa species with some Indica)
Pure Indica (pure species)
Indica (mostly Indica species with some Sativa)
Indica/Sativa (50/50 cross between an Indica and a Sativa species)
Runderalis (pure species)

Runderalis is a problematic plant. It doesnâ??t produce large quantities of THC or flower like the other species. Runderalis is considered substandard by most flowers because it flowers according to age, not according to the photoperiod. That means that the Runderalis cannabis plant will flower when itâ??s mature enough to do so and this flowering action of the Runderalis is â??out of the growers handsâ?? for the most part.

All I know is come July 1st. it will have 3 to 4 lbs. for party time for the summer :dance:
