height most certainly DOES factor into high as it's hard to separate the THC aspects of a buzz from the height that DOES come with the best buzzes. why the eff do you think anyone even BOTHERS growing IBL sativas? such growers know that every shortcut you take for cash crapping is a shortcut in quality.
if you talk that talk, walk that walk troll and name ANY truly compact strain that has the SAME motivational (as in ZERO FUCKING STONE) buzz and trippiness level of a real sativa. it ain't happening. there's no such thing as a 3 foot tall sativa. can i get an effing witness?! if you introduce afghani dominance into a strain. the sativa buzz will be diluted. today's hybrids ARE much better, but they're no match for a true stretchy sativa in buzz.
it's no coincidence that extra stretchy sweet haze by DNA walks all over more compact strains like rokerij "amnesia", CH9 jack, auto jack, sativa trans-love, LSD, C99, mataro blue, & even HQS (super) thai x skunk in the trippy motivational department... they all have less SATIVA DOMINANCE! none of them are as trippy. NONE OF THEM! TGA Subcool's jack's cleaner two has a comparable trippiness level for it's more compact stature, but at the cost of adding considerably more stone.
you make such a bogus claim about indica not diluting sative effects, then put up or shut up toy! name a compact, fast flowering, TRIPPY strain that DOESN'T couchlock one bit!!!! a strain that smokes every bit as good as REAL haze, cambodian, columbian or malawi, but that is cash crappable! you're so full of crap that you can't, so STFU with your lies! if there were a fantasy strain like you lie about, people would fuckin' be growing it! jack herer is about as close as you can get, that i know and i don't know everything, to a legit sativa high, and it ain't exactly a compact fast finisher.
maybe with a lot more generations of selective breeding, someone will do an even better job of getting a PRACTICAL sativa buzz, but hybrids just ain't the same!!! i'm haven't tackled an IBL sativa yet, but anyone that HAS will attest to the fact you're full of crap and steeped in the schwag appeal mythology zone trying to select for qualities that create INFERIOR schwag with diluted to non-existent highs.
you want to argue with fucking FACTS? here, argue with DJ shorts, toy, who suggests AGAINST selecting for the fastest flowering (and by their very nature, more compact) traits in a plant, and working WITH the "good things come to those who wait" NATURAL order of getting the best by shunning afghani dominance traits...
[quote] The road to blandness
As Indica, sinsemilla and HID lighting became predominant, it became apparent that Sativa varieties were very difficult to coax commercial amounts of sinsemilla herb from indoors. The fast maturing, dense bud structure of the easy-to-grow Indica soon dominated the indoor grow scene.
&
Although some Sativa/Indica crosses matched some of the Sativa flavor and head high with the Indica bud structure, this desirability would only last for a few generations of breeding. Unless a person is breeding for a very specific trait, crosses seven generations and beyond the original P1 Indica/Sativa cross lose much of their original charm and desirability.
