Today, i sat there asking myself a serious of 'philosophical' questions in regards to cannabis and its growing methods regarding genetics after randomly doing a search for 'DWC light randomly turned on during flower' (no this didnt happen, i over research incase of the worst lmao)

One comment i read 'it sees moonlight, thunder rain etc in its natural habitat so a little light outside of schedule shouldnt be of too much harm'
-there were more comments about it becoming hermie lol

Anyhow BS aside...

Grab 2 seeds from the exact same plant

Plant one indoors
Plant one outdoors

Over a period of 10-20 years continue to cultivate that same strain and keep one DWC and one Outdoor

Now throw a seed from the DWC in an outdoor grow - visa versa - im almost positive, neither will grow properly due to GENETICS

So when people are talking about cannabis and its "natural environment" what do they truly mean

Also, seeing as theres different cannabis strains, do these ultimately get a scientific name or is just another cannabis plant (every other plants strains have sub names)
The way i see it is cannabis is a plant that adapts very well and this takes a lot of time this is why cannabis is pretty much always grown in the temps of 65-85 it dies in too wet of conditions and these things cant be breeded out of the plants otherwise people would have got them to grow with less light water and food

Yeah, imagaine an Aeroponics setup without a light, just using the winters sun shining through the window!

see what you have here is a domesticated Cannabaceae
use every micro-nutrient you can think of for good seed (not just the typical hydro microblend) aka good dirt


to answer what i think is your question.. plants will express genes of their environment quickly but not "evolve" or pass it down
i think the major difference between your indoor and outdoor will be lack of those rare micros and lack of certain spectrum indoors

what they mean is sativa grows close to the equator so mimic temperatures an humidity and of the area...
indica grows in the middle east, the forest, etc, so attempt to do the same.
you can make certain phenotypes appear in different environments, though...
that's where hybrids are perfect everywhere. and why, for example, someones grand daddy purp might not purple at all. or maybe you notice your indica makes you energized and its leaves might be thinner than you've seen.
you can have the same strains that look and smell different and have different affects simply because of the environment..
if your grow area is hotter less humid, has LOTS of light, a sativa dom might be better for you to grow
if your grow area is cooler more humid and might be lacking in a strong light indica might give you better results

so really... there isn't a "correct this or that"
only preferences and suggestions.

check it out. i got my info from everywhere including rollitup, and personal experience, but this site is more detailed
google "origin of landrace strains" and you will have all your answers answered!
