Growing Landrace indoor -- WHY? What's the Appeal??

I like the spacey head high. I’ve tried growing and failed at Malawi and Killer A5 Haze but my Golden Tiger was amazing. Took 18.5w of 12/12 or less lighting. She is my go to afternoon strain but I’m getting low. I’m pretty much dedicating the tent to landrace grows and my Indica grows for my summer grows. Currently have Golden Tiger, Malawi, Golden Tiger x Panama (x2) and Killer A5 Haze growing right now. Might harvest one soon but need to get my outdoor gals down first. Starting week 14 of flowering now and have been at 10.5/13.5 for the past 8 weeks

I've grown several ACE seeds strains (Malawi, Panama, Guatemala, Bangi Haze, Golden Tiger). They grow into monsters that yield really well (arm length colas), better than any of the cookie garbage.

Alot of the stuff being mentioned in this thread have nl, ssh and other hybrids in them. Landraces are different, they usually are difficult indoors. Many hermies or mutations, or will stretch too much, cam be leafy and come harvest be difficult to trim. Alot of seeds on the commercial market have been worked and stablized to be indoor friendly and give decent results from each seed. Most of them have old school plants like nl incorperated into them, so are quite different from landraces

There are some advantages to the landrace .
1 You can save your back.. Flowers are at eye or ladder level .
2 No need for a grinder with nice airy buds
3 Your 420 planting should be on time for Xmas
4 now describing the taste you get to use terms like a burning rubber band or skunk week old socks.

a lot of people dont grow landraces but selectively bred pure lines of those landraces. i seek these pure sativa lines because it doesnt have cookies or other hyped up indica dominant stuff crossed in them to quickly increase the bag appeal and potency but this also means the high is purely just high without any stone which makes me uncomfortable anyway.

and the focus man oh the focus and the energy. with most true pure sativas 2 puffs and you will clean the house cook the dinner do your taxes and wax your car in an afternoon haha

HHHMMNNN Why landrace?
Oaxacan Gold kept pure since 1978
And is the backbone to all my breeding work.

Your plants look amazing are you the one that was growing in the ditch between the highway back in the day in Vermont with Oaxacan. I have been working with cryptic labs Oaxacan over the last year. I have worked both outdoor and indoor. Mainly studying the genetics and different phenos I could find. This second indoor run is seeming to take off amazingly really hoping for great results. I am looking to make some crosses. That being said yours look amazing I’m tempted to repeat the last year with a pack of your seeds lol you have almost half a century more breeding this strain it’s amazing what you did. Thank you for your contributions to cannabis. Let me know what you think of my attempts. Hopefully I can get some green or the other kind together and try running yours this post really gave me a good start to my day thanks phriend.7B8BB044-D392-45BA-8FE2-AAC78E6B4BAA.jpegIMG_1969.jpegIMG_1384.jpegIMG_1981.jpegIMG_1979.jpegIMG_0882.jpeg1F9523F4-2A6A-4BF0-A3B4-4739D4B20D9B.jpegIMG_2019.jpeg

Haven't yet done it, but there's magic in them beans.

Weed is among the oldest cultivated plants on record. The genetics in landraces are invaluable breeding tools, and the variety of highs are fascinating.

The way I see it, modern weed is great and all, but its built on a black market foundation (compact, volume, low odor) and has turned somewhat into hype and ornament over effect. This isn't to say it's all "bad", we both know that's not true. I am of the belief that on order to push cannabis forward, we have to go back and bring in genetics that have been "lost".

All of this is to say, I legally can't grow outdoor, so when I can pursue landraces, I'll have to do my work indoors, and I welcome the challenge.

I grow outside. The appeal is I remember these names in the 60's now hoping the taste will trigger other memories.
My suspicion is I will have a better tasting product. The majority of all the pot I saw until the 80's had seeds in them, in all probability were grown outdoors.
To be honest some of the names of current strain I would never let grow in my garden.

Thats pretty much what I was going to say ^

I just got new hooks that save me even more height in my 6.5 ft tall tent. A nice light on the way in my 3x3x6 fan/filter top of tent and light only needs 12”. Viparspec.

When everythings where I want it to be and can take a break Id grow a golden tiger if I knew where to get it. And the like.

Learning more about cannabis history and how everythings the same these days. My current strains are 60% sativa? I just found out recently. No wonder they 3x their size at flip.

@wiccan grows them right

Sativas are generally not grown properly indoors.

When I ventured into growing sativas I studied 16 week plants. 11/13 light cycles ...topping
taking clones to finish instead of the original seed plant.

Any an all tactics to get full robust bud structure.
That was the goal.
I'm sure there is a feed schedule that promotes faster finishing in sativas -- as some seem to shoot new pistils in week 7-8
I haven't grown enough to say exactly what nutes to pump to get lavish full BUD structure.
Versus the ultra "hairy air nuggs"

There has to be a secret nutes combo to get your sativas to LOCK tight & dense.
Beastie Bloom is a 0-50-30 ...that might help tame the airy bud structure.

Hello @Trap Star!
Wiccan here!
First thank you for you compliment, I have not been on here for quite some time.
But you are on the right track. I find a terrific flowering fertilizer is Ferti-loom blossom booster I believe it is
12-58-18? And because it is not a designer cannabis feed I believe it may be much less expensive?
