It's just a weed

[PuravidaC]

Just curious... we have come a long way from my gorilla grows back in the 70's and no doubt the weed is better now but are newer stains more fragile? As technical as we are with our babies I doubt they could grow in the wild, like they have done for centuries. What's your opinion?

That's a great question. In my first grows in the early 70's, to be perfectly honest, I was happy to get anything to grow and yes if it grew and when to Seed, I was thrilled. They were the days of potting soil, dirt from the outside, miracle grow fertilizer, and what light they could get from the sun.

So now we grow inside with a maintained environment of light, heat , humidity, and nutrients; we also know now, how much light. heat, humidity, and nut's we must give to get the plants to develop big seedless buds, add to that the the strains have been developed over the years to increase hardiness, and yields.

My opinion, gets answered with another question: So if we took today's seeds and grew them like we did in the 70's, most likely outdoors, potting soil, miracle grow, natural sunlight and buds going to seed, I believe that some (like in the old days) might make it but what would the quality be like?

I think some would definitely not be strong enough, but have you seen what they grow on the west coast out side? 10 lbs plants. That's pretty impressive!

10 lbs is impressive, but that is still with today's advances and technologies, how would they do out side in dirt and miracle grow, lol.

Provocative question!
And then throw in genetics.
i have heard that Blue dream ( cali strain) grows better outside than inside. Also some strains are advertised as indoor plants specifically.
Wonder if Rosenthal has anything to say on the topic?
