Long Time Growers !Wanted!

Thats true.
But selective breeding and hybrids are responsible for some amazing strains.
You can't deny that.
But like you said killer weed is nothing new.
Just grown better.

Oh no doubt, but keep in mind, hybridization is only an optimalization technique. usually done to promote or delete various characteristics. I was talking in a general sense in regards to actual THC levels. Killer bud and strains are just so much more prevelant now.

ganja gets better and better each day.

back in the old days of panama red and such,
pot wasn't gown and dried in as scientific way as it is now.
in the old days, they used to dryit outdoors in big piles and it would actually become a little composted.
and they used to sell it by the whole plant
all at once in a dried up state.

now there is a grow house on every block in the world!

they'd keep the very best buds for theselves or for making hash.

your father didn't get the buds very often.
it was mostly leaf

Even after all my reading and such I still dont see how plants naturally got more potent. I mean it's all the same thing, maybe different species like Sativas and Indicas but still, how the hell did it get more potent xD. Will it get even more potent in the future? :O

In 10 years you will take a hit and your head will implode. Wont that be neat ?:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

No, if I ever heard of that happening I dont think I'd smoke weed anymore xD.

Thats the point being made.....it hasn't gotten more potent. It's just that cultivation techniques have gotten more refined and allowed a greater ratio of the pot sold to be of high quality. In the distant past there were still very potent strains of bud, but people didn't have such ready access to them due to poor cultivation techniques. As I said before....most growers did not apply good horticulture techiniques to their grows since they were usually grown out of the modernized countries and were grown just as cash crops. If in doubt ask some old timers about the Jamaican Lambsbread that use to be around in the early eighties. Shit would knock you on your ass if you were lucky to get it. Also, do you see the dates that alot of the orginal strains like Afghani, skink #1 etc originated? They were like around in the seventies. Through crossbreeding, and selective breeding we have gotten more stabalized strains, but genetics does not change that fast that all of a sudden those strains are a 1000 x more potent now.

Sperm count is the number of sperm in each cubic centimeter of semen. The NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE reported last month that sperm count has declined 33% during the past 20 years among a study-population of 1351 healthy, fertile men in Paris, France. A briefer report in the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL last summer found that, comparing men of similar ages, sperm count in 3729 Scottish men had declined 41% among those born in 1969 compared to those born in 1941.

LOL! I don't know why that was brought up, but as far as I know sperm count is not soley gentically predetermined. Various enviromental factors have direct affect on the amount of spermatocytes a testicle produces.

sperm gets girls pregnant so hold it in!
zero population growth is the goal
