I was speaking with Jorge Cervantes, some of you might be familiar with him. He told me, via live stream, that there is no such thing as Strains. That term belongs in the realm of Fungal Science.. Believe it or not, the correct scientific terminology for our different Ladies being bred is, Varieties.

Just sharing this wisdom bomb with my favorite forum

I think old jorge is wrong, got this off wikipedia- Strain (biology), variants of plants, viruses or bacteria; or an inbred animal used for experimental purposes.

I found this on the same page, Plants- The term has no official ranking status in botany.. But goes on to say that when it is used in Botany it refers to the collective descendants produced from a common ancestor that share a uniform morphological or physiological character.

The varieties would be sativa, indica, and ruderalis. The strains would be specific subsets of those varieties and their crosses. George is not a botanist obviously. He is also incorrect. Fact.

ie: Strain - noun -
a group of plants distinguished from other plants of the variety to​
which it belongs by some intrinsic quality, such as a tendency to yield
heavily​

It doesn't matter what he thinks, or his mycologist buddy either. You are being overly dogmatic.

Old news buddy. All these 'strains' are just different expressions of C.Sativa, C.Indica, C.Ruderalis or all of them.

The only strains of cannabis are cannabis sativa, canabis indica and cannabis ruderalis. Strain would imply that the plant is different in biologically different some way or another, and it isn't.


Not that it matters.... lol

BUZZZZZZ.......wrong grasshopper.......FAMILY - (used to be HOPS now it's HEMP) GENUS = CANNIBUS SPECIES = SATIVA/INDICA SUB-SPECIES = Rudrealias then VAriety ---> White Widow/Double Bubble/GX/your mama wears army boots Heres the problem...Hemp is normally moneious ( has both sex organs on the same plant can self polinate) that made cents in the old days becasue folks used to make rope and cloths and of hemp HOWEVER someone figured out that if you can get a VARIANT or Variety that was more prone to DIEIOUS reproduction (males and females on 2 diff plants) then you would have a better quality product..that entire trend to breed canibus in that way has made it virtual impossible to keep tract of any "family tree" for this entire GENUS becasue everybody is doing their own thing and it is basically a wide open aera with no real descriptive REAL BIOLOGY going on.....most people are doing this to get high....not to many NOBEL PRIZES FOR WEED GROWING!! **PLEASE forgive my spelling spel check no work and me a scientist not a speller..Varieties

Cannabis.
Family-Plantacae.
Genus-Humulus (used to be specified otherwise but DNA profiling has recently increased our understanding)
Species-Sativa, Indica or Ruderalis.
Varieties and Cultivars-White widow etc.
We simply call 'Varieties and Cultivars', 'Strains'. It's easier. Simples. Even these lines are blurred dur to indica/sativa mixes and different strains (sorry, technically Varieties and cultivars) produced from different manufacturers with differing genetics.
As for Mr Cervantees (whom I have serious doubts that you have ever spoken to outside of an imaginary world after too many bong hits), he was good in his time but I'm sure Im not the only one on here who has seen his vids and thinks 'I could double that in the space'. He had a good, solid understanding of light/vent/feed neccessities but very little of maximising yield. No disrespect to the guy, a simple, straight grow is good but there are a lot of us out here who need to push it to the limits due to space/leccy bill etc.
Put him up against Heath Robinson with the same space/watts and see what you get.
