In Ed's first book, he expounded about how plants have their environment encoded into their DNA and if one was going to be successful at growing, you had to, as best as possible, replicate the environment it was used to growing in.
Okay, hang with me, I've got a good buzz and am thinking clearly.... we _ as people _ are similar to plants in many ways. We need water, light, nutes. We get injured and repair ourselves, etc. Over time, our ancestors who resided at/near the equatorial areas had their skin develop darker pigment because of exposure to the sun/uv. This is a fact.
Therefore, it also stands to reason that plants grown in these areas are more potent because of their exposure to the same conditions. Sun/uv.
We have _ over the last 30 years become quite proficient in replicating a number of the key elements to successfully grow indoors.... I still believe the absolute best weed I've ever smoked consistently comes from outdoors, and quite a few had seeds. I digress.... we have lights that go far beyond my original 'Power-Twist' floro's, we have nutes, PPM meters. But we don't have much uv.
So, this rant is about the Darwin-ism of the plant. If we expose the White Widow, Super Silver Haze, and other premium indoor strained to constant uv, at levels which had not been present before.....Will the plant, like us, develop dark skin _ more THC?
