Blueberry
Bro DZ,
I like you signature, it says a lot....
So let me try to explain::: I posted this on another thread, but is basic horticulture...... Case in point... all of the good wines coming out of Napa California were propogated from grape plants in Europe that are hundreds of years old, the grapes plants in Napa are now very old but are putting out very good wines, of course you have weather conditions that impact the quality just as in Europe, but a good year in Napa rivals any wines coming out of Europe, the reason being is that the grape vinters do not take seeds and replant they propogate from those same grape plants that they got from Europe that are hundreds of years old, therefore the quality: same with pot. Below is a post that I made on another thread that I hope explains it better...... The seeds from even the banks are down the line from the origin plant, although some are good, those I guarantee are close to the origin plant and are being propogated for crosses Etc., but you can never get the quality that you can from a seed from the origin.....
Indica it is, but only time will tell how much down the line the strain is, in other words what generation... it is very important to stay as close to the original seed that that particular strain originated from, you say that the weed that the seed came from was pretty good..... not good, strains breakdown as they get father from the original origin of the original strain. Case in point, if you get a seed from the Kush Valley and grow it and propagate from that original plant the bud will have everything that the plant from the Kush Vally had, but if you have the same strain but you are getting seeds from lets say seeds from plants that were grown from seeds of the original strain lets say 6 times down the line the strain starts to breakdown due to new environmental factors, that is basically what is happening to all pot grown these days. You have to go to the origin of the strain and keep that alive through propagation and not receiving seeds from plants that got their seeds from other plants from other seeds that got their seeds from other plants and down the line. The most important thing regarding the strength of the THC content is to stay as close to the original plant that was grown from a seed that was taken from the origin, when you do that you can have a plant that is basically 2-3 months old at harvest but has the same characteristicts as the plant of origin but also could be 7 years old, that is because the Mother plants age that is used in propagation will be the same age of the cuttings. You can grow a Mother plant as long as you want, just keep it in vegatative state. In theory your plant will become hardier and stronger as time passes simply because the age of the cuttings taken get older as time passes as long as you use that same Mother plant::: why;;;; because the origin plant never sees more than a year old due to the survival mechanism that makes that origin plant bloom and throw seeds to assure the strains survival year after year.... I hope this helps to understand why we get nice buds but just ok in strength/kick and flavor....
