i used to live at the beach at sea level and grow dank on my roof deck. Sativas originate from mountainous regions and indicas originate from low deserts. Everything is a hybrid these days.. Theres a few landrace sativas in africa, thailand, china, etc... A few old school 70's hippies still grow those sativas.
Don't you have that backwards...Sativa's in the mountains...Indica's in the desert !?????

reread thats what i posted
I know....all the indicas I ever had came from the mountains (Afghanistan..Pakistan..Thailand) and most of the Sativas came from sub-tropical or equatorial regions (Mexico..Africa..low land Asian territories)

well high desert is where indicas come from.. sativas - mountains of south america, africa, thailand, china, etc.... columbian valleys and what not are around 9000 feet above sea level. Sativas originate at higher elevations and thats why they can go 11/13

Interesting how we can take cash some misleading information.
I didn't know the detail about sativa and indica and also thought it was the opposite.
I will sleep a bit less stupid tonight :lol:

In fact it is more a fact about temperatures and hygrometric levels. indicas have to finish faster because of raising hygrometry at the end of flowering.
Sativas can extend tremendously the harvest time with dry air

In the afghan deserts some areas like Kandahar have no humidity and some like Kabul it can have high humidity. Where most of the U.S. bases or camps are, there's usually no humidity. The bases and camps are surrounded by poppy fields and ganja fields too. Afghan deserts have volcanic and sub zero temps depending on the time of the year.. No in between. In the equatorial regions there is much more humidity. Both get a lot of uvb . But the middle east gets alot more IR from the sun. Where my cousin was stationed, there is poppy and ganja fields across from the Gate

Yeah it sucks hearing everything that you studied for the past 30 years is wrong....even with a bachelors in Economic Botany !

sure but it was the mainstream till nowadays.
Agricultors, farmers in Europe Have been pushed by industry to use chemicals... and loose the gold old fashion. pushed to use pesticide, herbicide and whateveryoudecide, killing the life soil.
Thank you roundup, thank you monsanto, the biggest evilish marketeer on this planet.
They are still trying to infiltrate on africa land... and they succeeded with the help of bill gates.

Now some change their mind and are back to basics.

I'm a gardener for my city [public services], I learn more from my garden than from courses I followed back then when I started.

adventitious are to be cut, burned, frozen .
some years ago, we did big compost packs with all the green cuttings. now we trash green matters in a container and no compostage anymore.
ANd the chiefs are wondering how everything is so in need for food.

I don't think you have had indica from Thailand dluck, Thailand is Sativa country, 12/12 all year long.
Sativa may have been "born" in the Himalayas but grow at lower altitude in the tropics (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, etc.)
Cannabis is only one species L. Sativa with subspecies:
In 1753, Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, formally keyed the Cannabis plant as Cannabis sativa L.(Schultes 1970; Booth 2003). To date, a debate has existed over whether or not the Cannabis plant is monotypic, having one species with different varieties, or polytypic, having distinct subspecies (Booth 2003). In 1924, the Russian botanist D.E. Vanischewsky studied feral wild Cannabis in the Volga River system of western Siberia and central Asia (Booth 2003). Vanischewsky supported the polytypic argument, claiming that in addition to Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, there was a third distinct wild species: Cannabis ruderalis (Vavilov 1926; SLDP 2007).
Based on an extensive Cannabis cultivar review, Small and Conquist (1976) concluded that C. sativa was monotypic, possessing two distinct subspecies. These subspecies were classified by the percentage of active cannabinoids (a category of molecules found only in Cannabis) (Clarke 1981), mainly delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC or THC), the main psychoactive compound in Cannabis (Clarke 1981), present in the dry weight of the upper part of the female inflorescence. Small and Conquist (1976) keyed the two subspecies: C. sativa subspecies sativa, with less than 0.3% THC (3000 parts per million) and C. sativa subspecies indica (Lam), with more than 0.3% THC. Within the subspecies sativa are variety sativa and spontanea, and within the subspecies indica are variety indica and kafiristanica (De Meijer 1994). Hilling and Mahlberg’s (2004) examined the cannabinoid variations of 157 Cannabis accessions, in which their research findings supported the two-species theory, thus chemotaxonomically authenticating theC. indica sub-speciesbiotype. Others have further categorized Cannabis based on geographical race and morphological and physiological characteristics (Bòsca and Karus 1998; McPartland et al. 2000). Nonetheless, the classification of Cannabis has been internationally controversial.
