Grounded Genetiks Part 1

@PersonalSmok3s, what is your end goal?

@The_Wanderer, I suppose my main goal is just to have complete control over what I grow and smoke 😸🤷‍♂️ If I like the look of something I buy it and run it. What’s your goals?

@PersonalSmok3s, That is a beautiful answer. For me, for a long time it was a search for a complete cannibinoid profile and unique terpene profiles that worked for me. I tried many varieties that I just didn't like even though other people liked liked them. Then, I eventually found what works for me. I was incredibly lucky because I found it (Rosie). It was inside a true breeding IBL cultivar from the ancient world, meaning it was stable, reliable, and predictable. I found another IBL that worked well for me (kerala), but is for when i need to be active. So my goal is to keep my personal medicine available because its life enhancing, and in my control. Nobody can exploit me when I need medicine. Outside that I just enjoy the gardeneing and grow the most unique cultivars I can find, mostly for others to enjoy. Perhaps they may even discover a life enhancing cultivar, and know that joy themselves. But also for my curiosity because I try it too just to explore, and know about them and the potential uses. So a mix of medicine making, gifting, and explorations. I actually enjoy the gardening quite a lot.

@The_Wanderer, I have to say that indica strains with citrus notes have been my favorites so far.

@Gympaddy, You are incredibly lucky, and I am very jealous. It is very easy to find cluster 1 types. There are so many options for it, you can just shop around for that terpene profile at the best price, try them and once you find one with a good potency, good yields, easy to grow... you have it. I wish it was that simple for me. Indica is a term that describes the plants physical appearance, but it says nothing about its effects or the chemical compounds inside. It is obvious that finding that terpene profile in the indica growth form is more convenient. But I have seen the sativa body styles put out a larger amount of flower than I had expected. So be open to trying them if you have the space. As long as the terpene and cannibinoid profile is aligning, the effects are going to be the same without much noticeable difference there

@Gympaddy, I also forgot to mention that the seeds you recieve may not be what they are described as. Some commercial suppliers in some cases are intentionaly just handing out random seeds under whatever name someone is buying. Perhaps to get rid of aging stock, or because its just more profitable and easier. There is scientific eveidence of this, so its important to look at the genetic consistency between different suppliers. If we look at it from a chemistry first perspective instead of claims and descriptions, It looks like White Tahoe Cookies is a solid choice for a furure grow.
