Well, I haven't been growing for 50 years, but here's my two cents worth:

i once read a statistic that mj is now like 3x more potent then back in the day

Weed that is 3 times more powerful now was also three times more powerful then too. It probably just wasn't available. Plain old suckie dirt weed sucks now and it sucked back then. There was potent strains back then, and there are even more now, due to crossing, and breeding out bad traits and breeding in good ones. Any one strain will not increase in potentcy over time.

I would agree with that statistic if it said that there were now three times more strains available that are potent. Probably more like 30 times though.

Long Time Growers !Wanted! hey all you growers out there..this one is mainly for ppl who have been growing since say 60's (if theres any on here) onwards or any longtime grower...whoever ..neway my question is...have you seen any noticable differences in mj itself? since whenever you can remember i.e. looks? stature? potency? flowering times? avoiding the fact that technology has changed the way things are done nowdays, crossbreeding etc i suppose this question is leaning more to the outdoor grower but still don't Rating: 5
